potatoes was carried out by the central ontario potato growers association assisted by the ontario marketing board toronto last fri day these potatoes were sold under tho tp brand and packed in brand ed jute sacks of one peck capacity having personally discussed this matter with several of the depart mental and chain stores in toronto all were agreed that there was a market for high class potatoes uni formly graded and packed in a small convenient package two linns ono a departmental store and the other a chain store each placed a small order for 100 to 200 peck bags these were offered for sale on friday morning of last week and in a few hours after being placed were all picked up immediately these firms called for larger supplies which are being arranged for just as quickly as possible by retailing at iso and after deducting the cost of the sack freight and com mission charges these shipments netted the growers 33c per 90 lbs in cases where shipments could be made in eaiiots thus reducing trans portation charges the net price to the growers would be 45c per 90 pounds the experiment has so far been successful and demonstrated that a large percentage of the buyers of ontario farm products are willing to pay a premium for a well graded article the system of purchasing pota toes in our large cities by many of the consumers is being changed from buying in the 90 pound bag t that of the peck container and at the same time the customer insists on good selection and grading these facts are of special interest to the producer of potatoes in on tario growers picking up the

packages is very slow the potatoes are run over the grader and only the large ones are put in the bags each bag contains potatoes of uniform size the weight is an even 15 pounds never under and no more than an ounce over tho store managers and clerks saw at once as soon as the idea was mentioned that there was a marke for the 15 pound bag ordinarily potatoes come to the stores in bags or barrels and the clerks have to put them in paper hags occasionally a customer drops one of these paper bags and the potatoes roll all over tho floor this always happens when the store is full of people with tho potatoes put up in jute bags secure ly tied there can be no spilling on tho floor and the clerks do not have toput up the packages if the small bag becomes as ready a seller as is expected and the cen tral ontario potato growers associ ation go into the business of furn ishing the wholesale and retail trade with large quantities of dooleys ready for the customers a grading

the herald learned that most of the old growers who have been in the game somo years aro going to increase their acreage this year one of these men stated that in tho corners of two townships there were indications that the acreage planted to dooleys would be increas ed about 25 percent the coining season the cost of secondary education we quito agree with the orillia packet and times which says the burden of taxation is bring ing home the high cost of secondary education which has been mount ing ever since the irev icanon cody as minister of education introduced tho adolescent act requiring child ren to attend school till they aro 10 years of age in vain it was urged at the time that the proper test for leaving school was the standing of tho pupil not his age there are many children so the school author- ties declare who derive little or no benefit from their year or two in a high school it is purposeless filling in of time yet their presence adds considerably to the cost of secondary education what is needed is a com plete change in the system which will ensure that those pupils who have capacity and tho continued attendance at school shall be given every opportunity to do so while others who are determined to go on with schooling shall do so at their own expense this could bo brought about by setting standards up to which pupils must measure if they are to be educated by tho taxpayers no boy or girl would thereby he de prived of the chance for an educa tion but the overburdened taxpayer would not be forced to provide ac commodation for tho idle rich or for those whose scholastic abilities are limited what is the sense in add ing to tho secondary schools to pro vide rooms for pupils who fail in four out of five subjects or oven in a larger proportion in
