KKltlt'S WORK WELL DONE The news columns of the .state press this week not only curried on announcement by Dr. W. J. KeiT, chancellor of the 'Oregon state system of hifiher etlueation, that he would retire as soon as a successor were found, but editorially com mented at lenjrth on Dr. Kerr's excellent work and speculated as to whom his position would fall. The former -Oivjron State college president assumed the role of chancellor in SeptenilH-r, 19:12 only witli a view to getting the now unification system inaugurated and run ning smoothly. He was ready to retire two years ago, but stayed in the hoe of rendering a final service to the state he has served so long and so well. And Dr. Kerr ncooni plished much. In the last year and a half of his chancellor ship, great -progress was made in the unification of the five state institutions of higher learning. Occasional situations have developed at times that perhaps weiv not conductive to the best interest ot the state but these apparently were aimed at Dr. Kerr more on personal grounds than on anything connected with his policies. All in all. Dr. Kerr's work has been well done. The five institutions are functioning nicely at present, each compet ently staffed and with a responsible president at the head of each institution. Most of the greatest difficulties, principally in the past recent years, unquestionably have been faced and sur mounted. At each institution is a story of accomplishment, and the Normal school here is a glowing example of progress made much of it due to ixilicies invoked by the state board and Dr. Kerr, and much of it due to the excellent work here of President 11. E. Inlow. It is the same elsewhere. The University, the State college, the normal schools at Mon mouth and Ashland are steadily going ahead. True and admittedly, though there is and perhaps always ' will be room fur improvement, particularly to nike the facil ities of higher learning more available to all who desire them, s it not possible at this time with the foundation laid by ' Dr. Kerr, to gain a continued forward movement in our schools and colleges through coordinate effort of individual school executives and the higher board? Such eliminating for the time being of the position of chancellor might bring about a better harmony and understanding, and these have . been difficult tasks to conquer in previous years. It is not , unreasonable to think that Dr. Kerr's splendid machinery will go right on running with his retirement, and without a new nuui at the helm. It's worth giving much thought to, par ticularly in view of the savings to he taxpayers such a move would bring. i MO f - laVfV' ' Y!' $ ft & Wf 4,'f Fiii lnp ench other before a crowded Senate Fluaoce committee hearing.

This Is so, perhaps, because of its tart freshness that epitomizes the spirit of early spring, and it Is so because this hardy little relish can be planted as soon as the ground is workable, and harvested, three weeks later. I til Plant the radish in the full sun on a plot of ground! of light and rich texture with not too great a content of nitrogen. The olive and globe shaped varieties ar0 the earliest. A good thing to remember with the earlier varieties Is that the later they are picked the more pithy and strong they will be puli and eat them aa soon as they mature. The general rule is that the lonper they take to mature, the hotter the flavor; they also take on an oblong shape like the carrot. Most of the summer varieties are like this, among them being Stmssburg and Chartler. Icicle is an exception among the sum mer varieties, and is rather mild. This question of mildness has been the problem of seedmen In develop ing new varieties, and it has been met by shortening the season. The early globe type is noted for Its mildness, and with a succession of plantings every week in the spring, a continu ous crop may be had. They cannot be grown on into the summer. Radishes used as table decorations may be grown in red, yellow or white colors and are very effective for this purpose. The fall varieties should not be neglected, for they will supply a quantity of huge, mild edibles far in- , to the winter season. A common fault in planting radi shes is to sow them too thickly. The best results will be obtained by thin ning them to 2 Inches apart in the row. This crowding is especially det rimental where the earliest crop is de sired. Plants should be thinned out as soon as they appear above the surface. With the larger varieties. 6 inches of space is needed. Remember. they .are one of the first spring vege tables, and can be sown as soon as He'll Sign Codes I - - f " I t r it n K 9 t As new manaeer of the NRA o Occs in Washincion. Lieut. Col. George A.
