Soil Culture in Fruit-Growiug.

A few years ago there were few
farmers who had any faith In the
efforts of skilled experimenters to in
duce them to conserve the moisture In
the soil by system of shallow cult
walton during the summer. One by
one they tried the plan, many of them
in desperation during season of
drought, until now thousands have
proved its great value. Fruit growers
are becoming interested in the question
and realize that with fruits that absorb
immense quantities of water from the
soil 1t is absolutely necessary that ev-
erything possible be done to keep in the
soil for the use of the tree during the
summer all that is possible of the
water that falls during the fall. winter
and spring. Nothing will accomplish
this better than the system of surface
culture during the summer. Then If
this plan is followed by cover crop
during the winter to be turned under
in the spring, the trees have every in
centive to thrive provided, of course,
the soil Is properly fortified.

CHAPTER XI

It was the day after NOra's return
to Ireland, and she and Celia Pennington
had been wandering about the house and
garden In the happiest, idlest way.
At the vicarage gate, the children, who
had chung to Nora's side, were taken back
by Celia, and Nora went on across the
bog alone, singing softly to herself, as in
old times, and feeling as IL those long
twelve months in London must have been
a dream, from which she had awakened
back to the old, unbroken life.
The sound Of a swift, light step on the
turf struck Familiarity on Nora's ear, and
made her stop and turn; and then a
warm, kind smile beamed in her beauti-
full eyes, and she stopped to bring her
head on a level with the shaggy head of
the harefooted child who, in one monde
script garment just twice too big for
him, was hurrying after her.

Every taxpayer should make 1t his

At the East Side school house tonight.
~ questions of grave Importance at
fectink the financial interests Of the
district are to be passed upon.
The building of another school build
ing il the most notable OF these propo-
sitions. The matter has not been dis
cussed to the extent that it should
have been prior to this date, but care
full study should now be given 1t by
those who will have to pay the ex-
pense. The building will cost between
SIG. 900 and $40. 900, about $13, 900 OF
which can under the law be raised by
again bonding the district. The re
mainder would have to be raised by
taxation. or by the appropriation of
funds that would otherwise serve to
reduce taxation. The issuance OF
bonds would of course entail a perma-
nent interest charge upon the district.
Nor would the interest charge be the
total expense. Another %janitor would
be employed, more teachers would be
necessary, additional clerical services
would be required, ETC.. all Of which
would be q permanent charge upon the
district.
II must be borne in mind that we
have still the original debt for school
buildings hanging owe us and that
our valuation has not increased to any
appreciable extent. 1t is all very well
to permit posterity to aid us when 1t
becomes absolutely necessary, but we
owe 1t to posterity to make its bur-
dens ~ light as possible.

board have studied the question In all

clusion that . new building at this
