W. W. Long, State demonstration
agent, is urgent in his
plea that top dressing for oats
and wheat be supplied with dispatch.
Mr. Long thinks this
especially advisable this spring
in consequence of the excessive
rainfall, which has depleted the
soil of its nitrates. He advises
that nitrate of soda be used,
both because of its ready availability
as a plant food and because
the prices this spring are
not unreasonatue.

linquencies by April 5th will be
\ suspended from school until

I understood that quite a number
of the scholars have paid no fees
for several months.

on April 1 to check the parcel
post business that passes

parcel post mail. The checking
of the parcel post pieces will he
tedious work because the weight,
postage and zone of every package
must be recorded.
