Put the finishing touches on the seed bed before the seed are planted, seeing, too, that all clods are finely pulverized. 2. Try to so arrange that the cotton will be planted on a seed bed that has been firmed by a good rain; loose, cloddy land is a poor place to put cotton seed. 3. April rains are hard and beating; as soon as possible after them run the harrow to prevent hard crusts forming. 4. April is the month in which grass and weeds begin to appear; get them before they get you by i :_ 11 u i l,: Keeping uie iiarruwi> anu euiuvators busy. 5. Keep the garden becoming by frequent cultivation. 6. Danger of killing frost will in most sections bo over this month, and the tender vegetables should be planted. 7. Plan now what crops shall take the place of the garden vegetables that will come off in May and June, and arrange to have an all-the-year-round garden. 8. Don't forget the melon patch, well prepared and heavily fertilized. 9. The clover seed will soon be ripe; prepare now to see that every seed possible is saved for fall planting. 10. Watch the orchard and garden for insect pests and don't let them get a start. 11. Tick eradication work should begin in all infested counties this mor.th; get in touch with the tfneus in charge of j this work and put your * ounty \ on t he lick-free map. 12.

County Superintendent Carroll conferred over the telephone with school principals in various sections of the county and it was agreed that it would be best to ii i rr * * can me meei oir. in accordance with this the Southern was notified that the special train would not be needed and Governor Manning and Supt. Swearingen were notified of the change. Practically every school in the county was notified over the phone that the meet had been called off. Consequently, none of the schools were put to the trouble and expense of going to Yorkville only to find there would be no meet.

R. Williams. There were five such commitments in February.? Yorkville Enquirer. The Gold Hill Alphabet. A is for Annie, so bright and so gay; B is for Bessie, the girl in the play.
