VALUABLE INSTRUCTIONS OFFERED BY U S DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AS TO THIS WORK * I We are proud of the many good j records among club members of I 1914 and the faithful work and fine zeal shown by our girls.

RULES FOR BEGINNING WORK. ( 1. Secure a tenth-acre of ground; , this may be 132 feet long and 33 ] feet wice, or any other convenient width and length, provided it con- , tain? one tenth acre or 4,356 square j feet. . ? 2. When yon have finished your work next summer, we will ask you a? ?"if ~ rtf If Koorin nt IU wnic a lliowijr vj. I., JU uvA>.. I ( once to keep a record. Keep a notebook for the purpose and record (a) . the date, (b) kind of work done, (c) ( time used. ( 3. Keep a record of your expenses , charging 10 cents an hour for your j own work, and for all hired work < and supplies charge the actual cost. < Estimate the value of stable manure ( at $2.00 per ton, allowing a good ( two-horse load for a ton. Charge ( yourself $1.00 for the rent of your tenth-acre. 1 SELECTION OF SOIL. < Select a piece of well-drained sandy loam soil, preferably one nearly level. Avoid soil that has been in tomatoes the previous year, especially if there has been any disease on the plants, as some of the 1 diseases live over winter in the soil. Soil where cotton has been injured < by the nematode or root knot should 1 ? also be avoided. Plow the soil six to eight inches deep in the fall or early winter and apply two to three loads of well rotted manure to your tenth-acre v plot. Leave the soil rough during the winter to prevent washing. If no well rotted manure is available use coarse manure and apply it before plowing and turn it under so 1 it will decay before spring. VARIETIES OF TOMATOES TO PLANT. ' Where there is any prospect of an early local market for tomatoes it is 1 advisable to plant about one-fourth x of the plot to an early yariety like Earliana. Plant the remainder of the plot to a good strain of Stone 1 tomato. Where no market is available a few early tomatoes should be 1 planted for home use and the remainder of the plot planted to the Stone for canning purposes. STARTING THE PLANTS. To get an early crop it is necessary to start the plants during the 1 winter. The best method is to sow ] the seed in a hot bed in rows two ] to three inches apart, and when the ( plants have developed their first true leaves, transplant them to stand < mVumiI tnTA innkas nnort pneh WAV I aUVUk inw 1UVIIVB H)nu ? . , This transplanting: should be done ' in shallow boxes filled with Rood, rich soil or direct to another part of the bed. For the general, crop, grown for canning purposes, this transplanting is all that is necessary until ready to plant to the field. For extra early tomatoes it is advisable to again transplant the plants when they reach a height of four or five inches. This time plant in three or four inch flower pots, strawberry boxes or tin cans which have had the tops and bottoms melted off. When grown in this way the plants can be left in the bed or cold frame until the blossoms begin to open. * * TTAm nr?r\ MAKllMi a nui dc,u. The hot bed may be made as follows: Select a well diained location, where the bed will be sheltered, preferably on the south side of a huilding or fence. Make an exca- ( vation eighteen inches deep the size , your bed is to be. Throw in fresh ' horse manure and pack by tramping. . The manure heap should be about even with the surface of the ground or eighteen inches deep. 1 TTie manure furnishes the heat to tart the plants.* Put on top the of i y 1 r.'f A ... ,k manure four or five inches of a good garden loam, which has not grown any diseased plants, and cover the bed with glass hot-bed sash. If sash cannot be secured, canvas may be substituted for the glass. The temperature will run high for a few days, but no seeds should be planted until the temperature falls to about 80 degrees F., which will require * I This seems to us to point to the] fact that the magistrates and other olficers are careful to send up to this court only such cases as actually require its attention. We tind that our county is now burdened with certain road machinery, traction engine, and other implements which was purchased by the retiring Road Engineer, hut which the present incumbent in that office informs us is useless to him and the county. This machinery has cost the county more than two thousand ($2,(XX).00) dollars, and we would recommend that the County Commissioners disj>osc <>f this machinery as soon as possible to the best advantage, applying the proceeds to the road fund. We would also recommend that; the rural i>olice be required to file a report with the Grand Jury at each term of court, thus enabling us to ? see what work they are doing. We also recommend that the County Commissioners In* required to keep an account of the number of mules, plows and other property in the possession of the Road Engineer, that we may see that such projerty is properly accounted for. We suggest this fey the reason that there are rumors current to the effect that all of the county's property for the maintenance of the highways has not been turned over to the present Road Engineer. We will investigate this rumor to the! fullest extent. We have visited the county jail ind find it in excellent condition. We also wish to express our ffianks and appreciation to the Solicitor for his able assistance in the handling of the various bills presented to us. We have been informed that in lertain sections of Williamsburg xmnty, there are quite a number of 'blind tigers" at present operating, md now, since the Legislature has smpowered the county dispensary xmrd to employ detectives, we recommend that the dispensary ward be instructed to confer with ~~ die foreman of the grand jury and iscertain from him the location of r ;hese}alleged "blind tigers". Our committee for examining [X)oks of the county officers will report at the fall term of court. We would also recommend that JiefCounty Commissioners dispose }f(the tower and tank located in the jounty jail yard. Respectfully submitted, W H Carr, Foreman Grand Jury. ? ? ? ?
