WANTED!
To Sch oOl Directors.

1t becomes my duty to cali your
attention to an act passed by the
last Legislature providing for the
consolidation of schools. This act
provides, "That no school shall be
continued where the scholastic
population is less than 10, except
where there are natural barriers,
such as streams or mountains, or
the country is so sparsely settled
that children would have to walk
more than two and one-half miles to
reach school"
This law also provides that each
child may attend the nearest or
most convenient school, though
such school be out of his district or
county.
State Supt. Mynders has written
me the following instructions in re-
gard 10 this law:
"1'he directors will be compelled
to comply with the law, but it will
be your duty to stop the payment
of all warrants for schools that are
run contrary to law and to hold the
director ersonally responsible fol
any warrants they may issue on the
school fund for such schools"
There are a number of district:
in this county which have more
schools than can be maintained
under this law, and it is the di
rectors' duty, and one with which
they must comply, to at once re
duce their schools in number unit
they come within this statute.

We wish that We could tell you
that truck farming laid along easy
paths and that enormous profits
were sure. If we give you facts,
we need to remind you that there is
no excellency without great labor.
This branch of agriculture is a
most inviting field to any man that
keeps abreast Of the times and ha~
the push that is necessary to the
success of any ordinary business.
1t is risky, which is synonymous
with handsome profits, if we'll con-
Quoted 1t is intensive farming in
the broadcast and fullest sense of the
term. You must have land that is
loamy, warm, well drained, full of
humus. Twenty TO two hundred
two horse loads of good stable ma
nure, three hundred to two thous-
and pounds of high grade fertilizer
per acre, is the range if applied ev-
cry year, and in our humble judg-
ment the nearer you approach the
maximum both of manure and fer
tilizer the better. In this business
tillage must not be spared-a deep,
moisture retaining soil is sine qua
non. Let me say in parenthesis that
moisture is the greatest and most
perfect manure or fertilizer you
have. Harrow, roll and repeat I'M

''like it reads in the book" Let
me impress it upon you not to SOW
seeds or set out plants on ground
that is not we'll prepared. What
you do do it well. If your land is
poor or poorly prepared, and the
seasons are unfavorable, poor stand,
pour plants, disappointment is nat
urally to be expected. The highest
tillage throughout is demanded, and
let it have anything and everything
that it will to make your crop ear

low party lines. The most noticeable
feature of the occasion is acknowledge
to have been the announced harmony
between the two cabinet ministers on
the question which many expect viii

The colonial secretary's careful state
ment that Nh Balfour's leadership IS
essential TO union and the success Of
the Unicnist party, followed later by
the statement that system of prefer
entail tariffs is the only system by
which the empire can be kept together.
is taken to mean that there can no
longer remain any doubt that the pre-
mier and the colonial secretary have
agreed on the future. The opposition
papers rejoice asserting that the diff
ference which is known to exist insids
the cabinet ranks, coupled with the
opposition Of the working people in the
country must bring defeat to the al
vocates of Mr.. Chamberlain's policy
