AS we go to press this Tuesday,
afternoon, County Superintendent
Schweitert is wrestling with couple of
appeal cases from Bremen township.
AS we understand the matter, some
time before the last school election, the
board of directors increased the number
of schools in the township from six to
nine. After the election the board de-
cided that but six schools should, be
taught the spring term. From both de-
cisions appeals were taken to the coun-
ty superintendent. Much interest is
taken in the matter by the residents of
the township, and a large number of
them are present at the hearing.
The Crop Bulletin for week ending
April IA, says: The crop season is at
least ten days in advance of the average
in this section, with exceptionally
favorable conditions for early farm
operations; but the termination of seed
aud growth of vegetation has been re-
tarded by cold and dry weather. March
was warmer than usual, but the first
two weeks in April have been unsea-
sonably cold, with high winds and very
light rainfall. But the soil has been in
very fine condition for seeding and
blowing, with sufficient moisture near
the surface, to start termination when
the temperature rises. Seeding of
small grain is practically completed,
except in portions of the northern sec
ton. Flowing for corn is in progress,
and large area is in readiness for the
planter. Grasses made fair start in
March, but growth has been checked,
and the present outlook for the hay
crop is not tlattering. Except in few
localities, winter wheat and rye winter
ed fairly we'll. There are some reports
of damage to clover meadows. Fruit
trees are in good condition, except the
peach. The condition of live stock is
somewhat below the average in respect
to flesh, but there are no reports of loss
by disease.-JoHN r. SAGE, Section
Director.
