Efforts are being made by schools, public officials, and legislators to provide supervisors of physical education and health in all schools and communities. Realizing the timely need of sueh leaders, the B. Y. U. leadership convention has scheduled some excellent courses along this line. Just how much success is being achieved in this line throughout the country was recently revealed in the following report of the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, Washington, BY ILLUSTRATED .

Double disc the stubble under, and this will help to conserve the moisture, he explained. Mr. Paxman recommended plowing in the spring when there is sufficient warmth and moisture in the soil to hasten the germination of the plant. A bushel and a peck of seed per acre Is better than a smaller amount, he said, because this allows for the failure of some of the seed to germinate and gives a heavier growth to check the weeds. According to his experience the cost of harvesting was from to 31.50 per acre. On his farm had been raised the record yield of dry farm Wheat nearly 68 bushels to the 'acre. ed 4 right.
