Special Town Meeting.

For years there has been talk of re-
pairing, enlarging and undermining
town hall so as to make it more
comfortable, to say the least. Two
years ago last March it was voted to
enlarge the structure and make some
other needed changes, but after a
years study of the situation and re-
porting adversely thereon the Select
men were by vote, relieved from
further action in the matter.
Saturday petition was drawn up,
and quite generally signed, asking
for the call of a special gathering OF
the voters for such repairs that will
make the venerable structure more
habitable for the winter months, at
least. The date assigned is Septem-
Der 2S.
&-% The advocates of the improvements
Aare no more anxious to waste money
in changing the interior of town hall
than are the objectors, but as it may
be years before it is advisable to
build such an edifi as is required
they are of the opinion that sufflring
enough has been endured by the pub
lie, and that the time for action has
now arrived, hence the call for ac-
ton.

Keeping the Land Covered.

Nitriication, or the forming of solute
nitrates. goes on most rapidly in latter
part of summer and during autumn.
Unfortunately it is during the same
period that the growth of summer
plants declines and they absorb less
and less OF these soluble nitrates. The
result is that these valuable nitrates
are very apt to be leached out Of the
soil and be lost. To counterfeit this
great loss all land possible should be
covered with some crop which will
grow through autumn, winter and
spring, absorb these soluble nitrates
and hold them for the future crops.
Fall sown small grains, grasses and
clover will do this, but land intended
for corn and cotton the next year is
too often left bare. This should never
be. when it can be avoided. These
summer crops very generally need ap-
plications of nitrogen. Now these can
be given by seeding down the land in
crimson or German clover and turning
it under in early spring. Such a crop
will preserve from waste the soluble
nitrates developed in the soil in late
summer and autumn and also add the
nitrogen which it appropriates from
the atmosphere. 1t is a case Of killing
two birds with one stone, says South
ern Cultiyator.
