T x The State Board of Knnminera for Teacher* is glad to announce that the task of converting mil outstanding teacher's certificates Into South Caro lina .State licenses is about finished. This work was made nece?aary by tho 1020 Act of the Legislature creating the Hoard of Examiners tor Teachers The members of this Board are: Prof. H. 0. Dominick, former super intendent of the Clreer Schools; Ml** Elizabeth McLean, of Sumter Ci'.y Schools; and Joseph II. Shealy, Ke gistrar of the Teacher's Bureau. The Hoard began active duties of the office June 21st and after plarn were formulated, certificates began September 6th. The task of certificating over nine nine thousand teachers has occupied the entire time of all the member* of the Board since tho first of Septem ber, and for five months approximate ly eleven hours of work per day were necessary for converting certificates find correcting examination papers. The Board endeavored to dispatch the duties of tho office with as little delay as possible and wishes to ex press its apreciation to the teacher#, ?county superintendents, and scnool folk in general for the patience exor cised ahd support given in this Vvvi>i \ . Through the medium of the State Hoard of Examiners, a profitable and needed service can be rendered th*1 St a' e. The teaching profession in one of thi' greatest which should claim the attention of oUr people, and the teachers should be classified so that the deserving may be encourag ed to better service and those who arc poorly prepared assisted to better pre paration. The State has provided as sistance for the needy schools and the people have responded nobly to the demand for bettor salaries for tca?.b ers, and now the public has a right to expect better service. The first grnde certificates has been heretofore^ an indefinite quttnity as to a teachcrs fitness to teach school and it is the purpose of this Hoard tb issue Certi fier ies such as will carry with thtvn some idea of the teacher's preparat. ion for serving the public and to en courage professional advancement. The compilation of the records in i the office reveals some very encourng* i ing facts. The 0520 certificates j which have been issued since Septn:n ber 6th consist of the" following classes: College A. B. and I>. ? white, 2175; College diploma, colored 1022; By order of the State Board, white 188; South Carolina State Cer tificates, white, 374, colored, 26; Ofc.. - er States, white, 165; Rule No. 21-2 23, white 65, colored, 21; Examination (First Grade), white 1622, color J 252; Kxamination (Second Oral4), white 640, colored 319; Examinal' .n (Third Grade), white 257, colored 280 Permits (First Grade), white 600, col ored, 223; Permits (Second Grade*, white 341, colored, 383; Permits (3r:l Grade), white 134, colored 300; $roe ial, colored 7. For the October examination ther-; were 020 applicants. A study of the records in the office leads one to be lieve that approximately 3000 per sons will stand the next examination which will be held on Saturday, May 7th, at each county seat. The following regulation for the* renewal of certificates has been ador t i cd by the State Board of Education: I "Any outstanding first-grade State: certificate may be renewed upon pre sentation to the state Board of Exam iners of one year's successful and ac ceptable classroom experience by (he holder during the term covered by such certificate, together with a writ ten endorsement from the county superintendent or city superintendent and from the Board of district trus tees.

It will require three bushel* of po tatoes to furnish nuffcleut .slips to plant an aere. One acre transplant ed oarly la the season, say during the middle of May. will provide enough ?ine cuttings to set Ave acree mora. After the vines have made a growth of from tea to twelve Inches they are cut and transplanted In tho same way as slips. Those cuttings are usually from eight to ten Inches long, juid sot their full length in tho soil, leaving two or three buds only above the sur- j facer In ortlwr that a large -number of cuttings may bo available early la tho . season, It is desirable to trans., plant the first acre of slips on. com paratively rich soil, or to forlill^o Ihe land heavily with a commercial fer tilizer In order to stimulate a vigorous growth. ' I Use Vine Cuttings. Potatoes grown from cuttings v-">l l?> freer from disease than t U1^? grown from slips. Therefore, it is de sirable to' have as large n p^r cen the crop as possible produced from vine cuttings rather than from s ph. Three or four drawings may he made from the potato bed, provided the Blips are not allowed to grow too long ;,:U removing them. The slips a re , Hupported by the plant food oonta^lfied in the potato itself, and after the third drawing is removed. will not sprout frpol y i In ordS that the slips or cutting* may be transplanted to the field as , noon as they are large enoughth* ground where' the potatoes are to be planted should be prepared in ad- | varice. so that advantage may 1 I taken of a good -season; otherwlse lt may be necessary to water the plants as thev are transplanted to the field, j This; of course, is very expensive and should be avoided wherever possible. ( Distance for Setting. The usual distance for setting the plants is from fifteen to eighteen inches apart in three-foot rows When sot eighteen inches apart it will require 9,680 plants to set an acre. If get twelve inches apart, as 1b bo ? times recommended, it will require 14 520 * Potatoes are seldom set as close as twelve inches in the row, and this is done only when the tend ency is for the potatoes to *row too Urge. By close set*ng a larger num ber of potatoes Is produced, but very few of the large1 or jumbo type are fouod, the IdM being to Produce .s large a percentage as possible of the No. 1 potato, that Is one that is not more than 3% or loss than 1% inches In diameter. , Pr.,.rl?? and FertllUlna the Lend. After the land for sweets has been thoroughly plowed, the rowsshould be laid off three feet and a deep fur row opened with a shovel plpw.

The greatest care .hiuld be taken in the preparation of thd land and the subsequent cultiva tion in order that as high a yield as possible may be obtained. We should endeavor to produce not less than 15 bushels per acre. Two hundr^ to aar, bushels are frequently harvested where the fields are properly plowed, fertilized, and cultivated.
