Like replies were received from the McLean, LaSall«, Piatt, Peoria, Iroquois and Tatewell County Farm Bureaus. "Such unfounded rumors," declared Howard Leonard, president of the Illinois Agricultural association, "always come up during every low price era. The farmer knows that the price he is getting for his corn is way out of line with what he is paying for necessities, but he doesn't intend Jo use his corn for fuel." , "* COUNTY EDITORS MKj|r Are Guests of Editor £.

Each room has been supplied with a copy of the Ayres scale for measuring the improvement in hand writing and frequent comparisons of the pupils writing with this scale are being made, • The Ayres scale was worked out by Prof. Leonard Ayres of the Russell Sage Foundation and consists of a series of specimens of handwriting tff varying quality, arranged accordingly, And numbered on a scale of 100 points. The range of the specimens on the printed scale is from 20 to 90. ' v Children of the lower grades usually score near the lowen end of the scale and gradually go higher as they progress thru the grades. There should also be gradual progress thruout the year. The report cards will give the score made in writing rather *han a grade in per cent as heretofore. Some -of the cards were graded in this way last month, which accounts for the apparently low grades. These were not so, low, however, .as the average fifth grader should score, about 50, the sixth grader 60", the seventh grader j 70 and so on. r • & * *"' -"Hours very truly, > « >' Oswell G.
