GOVERNMENT BY STUDENTS IS EFFECTIVE PRESIDENT WHEELER OF UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DECLARES IT REALLY WORKS HAS BEEN IN FORCE SIXTEEN YEARS AND HAS PROVEN SATISFACTORY IN ALL RESPECTS Student self government really works in the University of California. President Benj. Ide Wheeler discusses its growth and meaning in his annual report, just issued by the university. The report says: Since November, 1899 when a case of student discipline was first referred by the president for counsel and advice to an informally constituted committee of the Senior class, our system of student self govern has been steadily growing in range and effectiveness and in the confidence felt toward it on the part of the student body. During all this time no formal agreements have been entered into as between faculty and students and no attempt has been made to give the system legal validity of any sort. The undergraduate student affairs committee, through which the system operates, has been a household tribunal rather than a court. Its inquiries and its findings have not been student whether he accepts the judgment of his fellow student to inform him that he has, under the law a right to a hearing before the faculty committee representing his college. It must, however, be understood that in practice the great mass of the judgments rendered by the student committee do not involve the assignment of any such definite punishments as would raise the legal questions of rights. The operation of student self government in this university has been of such far reaching advantage to the order of the university community, and what is far more, to the attitude and spirit of the students themselves, that no pains must be spared to devise and recognize a procedure which will insure to the system workableness under the law and avoid any crippling of its freedom and full responsibility. STANDARD GRADES FOR SWEET POTATOES Arkansas Growers Adopt Temporary Grades for the Shipment and Marketing of the Crop The office of markets and rural organization of the department of agriculture was called upon recently to assist in the establishment of temporary grades for the shipment and marketing of sweet potatoes in several of the potato sections of the state of Arkansas. Investigations were carried out at sweet potato houses in different parts of the state by an investigator from the office. Conferences were also held with a number of growers with the result that the following grades were arrived at and adopted by the Russellville, Ark., sweet potato growers at a meeting held in Russelville on December 11, 1915.

During all this time no formal agreements have been entered into as between faculty and students and no attempt has been made to give the system legal validity of any sort. The undergraduate student affairs committee, through which the system operates, has been a household tribunal rather than a court. Its inquiries and its findings have not been given any legal form. No one has been put under oath. The sole effort has been to find out as directly and frankly as possible what the real facts were, relying entirely upon student honor as between man and man. And, to the credit of the system, it may be unhesitatingly said that in all of the various cases which in the 16 years have come before it there has rarely been one in which the substantial facts were not laid clearly bare. Very seldom has the defendant refused to cooperate in finding out or revealing the facts or sought to hinder the inquiry by concealment, except for a natural inclination to place a favorable interpretation upon the conceded facts of his own conduct. It may perhaps be said that the student committee has shown itself a mechanism better adapted to discover and determine all the facts than to the devising of a form of punishment suited to the offense committed. After a man has shown himself ready to cooperate in determining the exact character of the facts and once and for all recognized the full extent to which he is an offender, the matter of punishment becomes a thing of secondary importance and the punishments have most usually taken the form of a recommendation to the president that the offender be reprimanded by the president, or deprived of credit in a course, or placed on probation for a year. The reprimand from the president is probably not generally regarded by the student as an eminently agreeable form of social intercourse, although it has usually taken the turn of a friendly talk of some length about what is worth while in the world and has given the president, for his part, a reasonably appreciated opportunity. Recommendation of punishment by suspension or expulsion has always been relatively rare. It has of course, always been understood that the legal authority in matters of discipline rested with the ary grades for the shipment and marketing of sweet potatoes in several of the potato sections of the state of Arkansas. Investigations were carried on at sweet potato houses in different parts of the state by an investigator from the office. Conferences were also held with a number of growers with the result that the following grades were arrived at and adopted by the Russellville, Ark., sweet potato growers at a meeting held in Russelville on December 11, 1915. Prime (or No. 1 Bakers)—this grade will include all potatoes of one variety from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, with none over 7 inches in length, all to be fairly uniform in shape, clean, bright, natural color, and sound. This grade must be free form bruised, scarred, irregular, crooked, rotten, or diseased potatoes. Choice (or No. 2 Bakers)—This grade will include all potatoes of one variety from 1 3-4 to 3 inches in diameter, with none over 8 inches in length, all to be clean, bright, natural color, sound, and free from rot or disease. This grade may include crooked and irregular potatoes. Jumbo—This grade may include all potatoes of one variety over 3 inches in diameter, with none over 8 inches in length, all to be clean, bright, natural color, sound, and free from rot or disease. It appeared from the investigation made that the prime and choice grades (the latter being the principal market grade) would include from 40 to 60 per cent of the crop. Form these enough potatoes of the prime grade could be selected to represent from 12½ to 15 per cent. The remainder of the crop would be divided between the jumbo grade and seed stock; the seed stock ordinarily taking all sound potatoes free from rot or disease, cuts or bruises, and less than 1 3-4 inches in diameter. The jumbo grade is not recommended for shipment to the northern or eastern markets, as they do not desire potatoes of its specifications. However, potatoes of this grade should find a ready sale in the south, where they may be used for such purposes as pie-baking and canning. These suggested grade rules have been submitted to several of the leading commission merchants and buyers in different markets, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that a strict observance of these rules by the growers and shippers of the entire South plaining the postage limits for some containers while ful, and the meticulous packing produce for the consumer in be attractive in its ing standards for ments, the bulletin handle, and pack grade and pack vegetables which is likely to marry office. The bulletin post the common obstacle parcel post commer farmer and consumer may be unwilling a price which allows or that the consumer lower than the fast local market. To letin: "Not only much something addition to compensate his container and price the consumer might thing to attract parcel post. In a price shall be, both the retail price now when he markets should be taken. The consumer must better article at or an article of t chased at some e. "It is probable will make the store average consumer by parcel post more attractive, better product otherwise. "The average does not realize pearance as a fact and frequently differ in preparation. The consumer relies very large selecting food sensitive articles are." "A personal act established between sumer when they contact. This was in furthering pro and also will en understandings which time to time. A ing should exist." ly regarded by the student as an eminently agreeable form of social intercourse, although it has usually taken the turn of a friendly talk of some length about what is worth while in the world and has given the president, for his part, a reasonably appreciated opportunity. Recommendation of punishment by suspension or expulsion has always been relatively rare. It has of course, always been understood that the legal authority in matters of discipline rested with the faculty of the particular college in which the student was enrolled. The findings of the student committee have been so universally accepted by the student community and the faculty that they appear to have obtained a standing of their own. It is evident that the student tribunal, in order to be genuine, must be left to its own spirit and devices and must not be, in any way adulterated by the devices or the membership of a faculty element. It must be, outright, a student affair in its thinking and its doing, otherwise student self government will be a farce. It will be faculty government disguised with a sweater. It is evident from our experience that the president should always stand in intervention between student and faculty action. The two forms of action repersent a total difference of theory and point of view. They must be kept distinct if student self government is to be a reality. The president, on learning that the student accused does not accept as reasonable and fair the judgment of the student committee, will in normal cases be justified in asking the committee for a review before submitting the affair to the faculty committee. It is surely in the interest of a successful student self government that the faculty action should not come to be considered and felt as an action of a higher court to which the student has appealed. And yet it must always be the duty of the president, in asking the CALIFORNIA FUEL OIL With the reduced production of oil in California, due to the fact that the Government has taken legal action against many of the producers, there has been caused a startling increase in the prices of petroleum products. This is shown in the present cost of gasoline which has advanced to a price that it might be said with truth that the action of the Government is costing automobile owners $10,000 a day in California. If this is the cost in California alone, the cost throughout the United States, if maintained on a similar increase or even an increase at all, would be incalculable. Here in California we had endeavored for many years to encourage manufacturing. The high cost of fuel has made manufacturing prohibitive. When coal oil came in as a cheap fuel it was welcomed as a God-send. It was found that $3.00 worth of oil would produce the same amount of power that $12.00 worth of coal would. The consequences were that manufacturing took an impetus and plants of various kinds sprung up on every side. If conditions become such that the cost of fuel oil becomes prohibitive, and there is a danger of this being relied very large on selecting food articles are "A personal act established between sumer when there contact.

ANAHEIM; GAZETTE—THURSDAY, FEB. 3 ing so, because of the action of the government, it will retard the manufacturing growth of California and all of the Pacific Coast states for many years to come. It therefore stands us in hand to use every endeavor not only with our own Congressmen, but through our business and friendly connections in the East, that pressure may be brought to bear on Eastern Congressmen and educate them to the necessity of protecting legislating in behalf of our oil producers for a square and honest deal, else we will find that our manufacturing interests will be in danger of being wiped out. It behooves every Californian to take interest in this matter which is at the present time more important to the business interests of the state han any matter that has given our people food for thought during many past years. PARCEL POST MARKETING The farmer who wishes to sell his products by parcel post, and the housewife who wishes to use this method of securing country produce for her table, will find many useful points in Farmers' Bulletin 703, just issued by the department of agriculture. This bulletin, in addition to explaining the postal rates and measurement limits for parcel post matter, discusses in some detail the types of containers which are most successful, and the methods of grading and packing produce so that it will reach the consumer in good condition and be attractive in appearance. In treating standards for parcel post shipments, the bulletin tells how to select handle, and pack poultry, and how to grade and pack the various fruits and vegetables which the average farmer Everybody who is interested in BUILDING Seems to want to know about THOSE FREE PLANS they simplify home building and insure your getting an up-to-the-minute, convient and artistic, modern home, and they cost no more than the less attractive kind.

STATE SCHOOL LANDS BEING SOLD TO SETTLERS Homeseekers May Acquire Ranches By Paying One-Tenth Down School lands suitable for cultivation are now being sold by Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury pursuant to the provisions of an act passed by the legislature of 1915, which is of special interest to the prospective home-seeker in California. By this act of the legislature the surveyor general is authorized to accept applications to purchase state school lands suitable for cultivation in quantities not to exceed 320 acres. The very easy payments required by the state, and the length of time allowed the settler to complete his payments are the features of this law that will appeal to the man of small means.

Drs.Johnston, Beebe Clark and Davis plaining the postal rates and measurement limits for parcel post matter, discusses in some detail the types of containers which are most successful, and the methods of grading and packing produce so that it will reach the consumer in good condition and be attractive in appearance. In treating standards for parcel post shipments, the bulletin tells how to select handle, and pack poultry, and how to grade and pack the various fruits and vegetables which the average farmer is likely to market through the post office. The bulletin points out that one of the common obstacles to establishing parcel post communication between farmer and consumer is that the farmer may be unwilling to offer goods at a price which attracts the customer, or that the consumer may offer a price lower than the farmer can obtain at a local market. To quote from the bulletin: "Not only must the farmer have something additional to the usual price to compensate him for the extra work, container and postage required, but the consumer must also have something to attract him to marketing by parcel post. In determining what the price shall be, both the farm price and the retail price paid by the consumer when he markets in the ordinary way should be taken into consideration. The consumer must receive either a better article at the usual retail price or an article of the grade usually purchased at some concession in price. "It is probable that the point which will make the strongest appeal to the average consumer is that he can secure by parcel post a fresher, brighter, more attractive, and thus possible a better product than he can obtain otherwise. "The average producer, as a rule, does not realize the importance of appearance as a factor in selling goods and frequently is careless and indifferent in preparing produce for market. The consumer on the other hand, relies very largely upon appearance in selecting food supplies and unattractive articles are passed by promptly. "A personal acquaintance should be established between producer and consumer when they come into business contact. This will help a great deal in furthering parcel post marketing and also will eliminate many misunderstandings which may occur from time to time. A definite understanding should exist as to the duties of legislature of 1915, which is of special interest to the prospective home-seeker in California. By this act of the legislature the surveyor general is authorized to accept applications to purchase state school lands suitable for cultivation in quantities not to exceed 320 acres. The very easy payments required by the state, and the length of time allowed the settler to complete his payments are the features of this law that will appeal to the man of small means. Any person desirous of acquiring cultivatable land under its provisions must be a citizen of the United States, or have declared his intention of becoming a citizen, and he must be an actual setter upon the land, when he makes application to the surveyor general to purchase. If upon examination the land is held to be suitable for cultivation and the application approved, the applicant is then required to pay only one-tenth of the purchase price, with interest upon the unpaid balance at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. This interest is payable in advance on the first day of each January, at which time the applicant may pay as many one-tenths of the purchase price as he wishes, or he may simply pay the interest and allow the principal to remain unpaid during such reasonable time as may be necessary to enable him to complete his purchase, which, in no case, will be less than five years after the legislation may require full payment. The surveyor general will send free to any applicant a list, segregated by counties, of the vacant school lands offered for sale. The determination of whether the land sought to be purchased is suitable for cultivation lies with the surveyor general and the state board of control, as does also the fixing of the price at which the land shall be sold, which is arrived at by examination and appraisement in each particular case. Recently the question arose as to what amount of land of a tract embraced in an application to purchase under this law was actually tillable, and it was decided that if 70 or 80 acres of any 320 acre tract are arable or tillable, thereby being sufficient with the use of othe riands for pasture or otherwise, to furnish a permanent support to the settler, the provisions of this law will apply and the applicant would be allowed to complete his purchase. The state lands remaining unsold which is suitable for cultivation are..." EXAMPLE OF LABOR EFFICIENCY Efficiency of farm labor is often as important as its distribution. Two young men were plowing clover sod. Each had two horses hitched to a 14-inch walking plow. It was heavy plowing, and each team was barely able to plow 1½ acres a day. One morning the men decided to try three horses on one plow. They did so, and to their great surprise one man and three horses easily plowed 3 acres per day. They plowed as much as two men and four horses had previously done and did it much more easily. It was even easier for the driver, because it is always easier to drive a team that it not overloaded. The new arrangement released one man and one horse for other work. A Kansas mother daughter canning club, consisting of 11 mothers and 11 daughters, canned 2,000 quarts of home grown products last season, according to a report from the state agent. A Wyoming boy is reported to have produced 70 bushels of potatoes on one-eighth acre. He made a net profit of $80.65 and also earned the state championship.
