Another example of the moi

Another example of the potato
mulching theory has been produced.
Mr.. J. P. Smith, of the Saline valley,
presented to us, last Saturday, bunch
Of as large, fine-looking potatoes as you
will often see. He explained that he
planted eight and a half bushels last
spring, and will dig at least $50 bushels.
He mulched them a foot and half deep
while planting. He did not have to cul-
tivate them a particle, and bugs have
bothered the crop very little. Mr.. Smith
has tried mulching potatoes for three
consecutive years, and, in common with
others who have pursued the same course
in this section of country, he has been uni
formly successful. If you want to run
across an enthusiastic advocate Of this
method of raising potatoes, don't pass
Mr.. Smith.

felt concerning the result in this district.
In the meantime, it should be remember
ed wildly that they who do not attend
the meeting will have no moral right to
growl at its decisions. The employment
OF teachers for the new year and the
amount of the annual school tax levy are
questions which should secure the gene
raj attendance of parents, guardians and

The lecture of Professor Parker,
Tuesday evening, on Primitive Man in
North America, was listened to by full
house. The professor delivered an excel
lent lecture. He showed that the artif-
cial mounds which are found in so many
portions of the great Mississippi valley
were not built by Indians, because they
are too lazy to do such work. The lect-
urer contended that those forts, cemete-
ries, places and emblems of worship, and
30 on, which are represented by these
mounds, are the work of people so an
cient that even Indian tradition is silent
respecting them, and who possessed many
of the features of our own civilization.
