NO MORE HEADS TO FALL
School Trustee Mac allum Saws
Teachers Are Safe.
HIS REASSURING TALK
Made in an Endeavor to Quell Panic
Among the Teachers-Two Whose
designations Are Called For
Do Not Respond.

Up to last evening Mrs. Mary Foley
and Miss May L. Shea, the two public
school teachers whose designations have
been called for by the board of trustees.
mad not presented their documents. AS
stated in the Standard yesterday, the
BOARD called for the designations in pur-
suance of its policy Of reducing expenses
because Of falling off in attendance at
the schools.
There was quite a flutter among the
teachers yesterday when they read the
article published in the Standard. Sew
eral Of the teachers were of the opinion
that these would not be the only dis
missals on the staff. One of them
said:
II tell you that more of us will be
dismissed and this announcement was
only made to break the news to U.S."
c. A. MacCallum of the firm of Mac
Callum & Cloutier, a member of the
board of school trustees, when seen re-
garding the dismissals, said:
Il tell you that 1t is no fun to be a
member Of a board of school trustees
when you have to dismiss somebody.
This thing about discharging teachers
was decided at the last meeting of the
board and it proved to be very I'M
pleasant duty, but we couldn't help Il,
and as these two teachers were not
needed they We're dismissed. The board
took this action owing to the attend
ance. which has diminished this year"
When asked in regard to the rumor
that other teachers would also be dis
charged. Mr.. MacCallum said:
These two will be all the dismissals
from the present, and you can tell the
teachers that no others will be dis
charged just now The young lady you
told of yesterday who purchased a new
wrap and is afraid to wear 1t because
she don't know whether or not she will
hold her position, can put on her gar
ment, for she will not be dismissed,
nor will anybody else besides the two
already notified"
There was to have been a meeting Of
the school board last night, but as
stated yesterday, 1t has been postponed
until Friday because of the absence
from the city of members.

each plant to one foot or eighteen
inches long, just where they stand,
and then proceed to dig my holes, and
prepare well, mixing little fertilizer
if the soil required it; and watching
my plants l would dig them up just
as soon as the first new germs started
(Which usually is from eight days to
two weeks), and carefully trans
plant, never, in any case suffering
the roots to dry, using a little water
in case of a lack of necessary moisture
in the soil.
Third. This done [ would denude
them of every old leaf Immediately af
ter transplanting, not interfering with
any of the late buds or leaves-only
those left when cut back. And, there
would be nothing improper in clipping
off the leaves when cutting them
back; they would only throw out new
germs the sooner, as all the vitality
taken up by the old leaves would be
appropriated by the new germs
Fourth. AS to cultivation and fer
tilization, 1 should plow my grove the
last of February or first of March, af
ter which | would continue the cult

ten days until the middle of July, u.s.
ing cultivators and harrOws, and also

production; but at the same time pillow
in thick sowing of cowpeas or beggar
weed, which crops should be alternat-
ed. Peas come up in four days and
soon afford a shade for the soil to the
close of the hot weather.
Fifth. About the middle or last of
November 1 would plow in my vines
and add some potash for fruit .prOduc-
tion-some of the approved grades.
This done, and the soil narrowed to
level it, l would then leave off further
cultivation until spring; then taking

a failure, while the clean, in season, is

The Old Plan and the New.

A Georgia contributor to Home and
Farm says too much care cannot be
given to the very careful selection of
only the very best and choicest plants
for seed. By doing this you will no.
tice a great increase in the yield. AS
the greatest profit is from pure-bloOded
stock, so it is with pure seed, and the
farmer that carefully selects his own
seed on his own farm, and keeps at it,
will see in few years great benefit.
The same thing should be done with
all kinds of farm stock. From the old
time barnyard hen you get perhaps 40
or SO eggs a year, while the pure-blood-
ed Leghorn gives from IT'S to 200 eggs
with the same treatment and in the
same yard. An old razor-back SOW
with the best care will give two filters
of pigs a year, which will weigh 100
pounds at one year old, while the pure
blood Poland China or Berkshire will
bring more pigs on the same feed, each
pig worth far more.
An old ''piney woods" scrub cow
with good feed and care will give one
gallon Of milk day, while your full
blooded Jersey with the same
treatment will give three or
four gallons of milk, and each
gallon three or four times as
rich. Let the Southern farmers care
fully consider these things. l have
tried the old plan to my loss, and am
trying the new to my profit.
The Southern Ruralist has kept these
suggestions pretty constantly be-
fore it's Southern readers in
the past, and intends to keep
''nudging'' them to put them i'll
practice. Grade up your corn,
your cotton, your potatoes, your stock,
YOUR chickens Begin the new plan
