TROUBLE AT THE POwHATAN SGHooL.-Mr. r. NJ
G. Trainor has for some time past had charge of
the public school at POwhatan, having always
given entire satisfaction to the Trustees and pa
irons of the school. At the late examination of
public school teachers Mr.. TranOr received a GER
tificate to teach in his grade and returned to his
home in the full confidence of resumng his duties
at the Powhatan school on Monday last. What
was his surprise to find that at the last moment
another teacher had been appointed to his school,
and himself thrown out This procedure the
Trustees and patrons decided not to put up with
and accordingly, on Monday morning last, they
took possession of the school house and establish
ed Mr.. T. in his old quarters as teacher. petit
ton to the Board of School Commissioners, signed
by the three Trustees and all the patrons of the
school, some fifty more in number, asking that
Mr.. Trainor be retained as teacher of the school,
was sent in, but to no avail, the President of the
Board positively refusing to allow him to teach.
The people of the neighborhoOd are greatly in
censed at this action the part of the Board and
will not be paciied unless their wishes COM
piled with. They assert that Mr.. Trainor is a
good and competent teacher, has advanced his pu-
pills very rapidly, and that they are anxious to
have him remain. What will come out of the
middle remains to be seen.

Carl Schurz's Opinion.

Chicago, May %. Hon. Carl Schurz is in town
to-day. In conversation with Tribune reporter
he expressed very freely his views on the presiden
cy. He considers Bristow the best man for repub.
lican nomination, because of his availability with
all classes and parties, including the independent
reformers, because he has been a most ac-
tive prosecutor of official frauds and corruption,
with which the great masses have no sympathy,
and because throwing him out wonld cast more OF
less odium upon the party. He considers Charles
Francis Adams an excellent choice, but thinks
there is little probability Of his becoming candi
date. He speaks of Blaine dsparagingly as a can
ddate for the Presidency, because he lacks the
record of reformer which Bristow possesses
Mr.. Schurz says the sentiment of the country is
strongly for reform, and that the party which
wins must do it on reform basis and candidates.

Mr.. EDITOR We noticed an article in the last
Journal in regard to the potato, as to when il
should be planted, and the way it she uld be treat
ed in different kinds of soil.
The writer says, I'VE have repeatedly alluded to
the importance of planting potatoes early, if We
are to expect the desired results" Now we know
that when farmer plants five, six or eight acres a
year, it is impossible, without considerable ex-
pensc TO have them all planted at the desired
time, even if the different kinds of land would
permit. But allowing that they could be planted
at the most desirable time, when is that time !?
| The writer SAYS "early," but doas not say how
| early. Now, what are the benefits to be derived
| from early planting, unless the land is situated
where the frost strikes very early And this IS
rarely the case. VIII not the tubers start faster
| in warm cellar, up in the barn, than they will
| III The ground, before it begins to grow warm
| Now, do not wish to be understood that we
should delay the planting of potatoes any longer
| than I'LL The ground is dry. and warm enough to
| start the sprouts at once; but from careful OBJ
servatlon are l,d TO believe that we can obtain
we can by rushing them into the ground. We
have raised as good potatoes where they have
been rlanted frem the lst to the OH OF June, as
where they were planted by the middle OF May.
| And again. The question whether il is better
TO plant the seed deep OF sloai, Is one OF consld
| cradle importance.
The kind Of soil and the season has good deal
to do with this and would regulate it if they were
all alike; but, as such is not the case, we have
TO he governed by our own observations and ex-
periments.
We see that the correspondent favors deep plant
ing, that is, on dry, sandy land. Now, let us look
at this Providing the seasons were just the same
every year this would do, but take them as they
come we should prefer having them nearer the
top of the ground. Our reasons are these first
that if the season is wet one, we do not think
they are so liable to rot; second, if it is dry sea
son. they will obtain more moisture from the dew
if planted shoal, than from ground, if they
were deep.
Our method of planting is this: That when thu
ground is ready to mark it off with marker

The POmerOy Case.

which makes . groove from one TO two inches
deep; drop the seed in this and cover from an
inch to an inch and half deep, with hand hoe
In this way we seldom fail Of having them all
after the weeds appear, providing the seed is
good.
! And here comes the most important part of
planting. That is, getting good seed. We have
seen farmers who would sit down to basket OF
potatoes and slash any, without regard to whether
they were good or bad. If any one will take
basketiul of potatoes they will find more or less
where the eyes look black. Now it is no Use to
plant such things, they will not come if you do.
And, again, we hear tins and that farmer telling
how his potatoes grow pronged, and asking what
Is the reason of it. 1t is because you plant them
pronged. If you do no not plant pronged potatoes
you will not raise them.
Select, then, good, smoothe tubers, those where
the eyes look as though there was some life in
them, and then if your ground is good you will be
likely to get good crop, if you take care Of them
after they are planted.
