teution TO institute excursions to the
various experiment farms in the state
in order to make the farmers fully ac-
ouainted with the situation and condl'
tions attending the dry farm PROPOSE
ton. Saturday, July 9th one week
from to-day, has been appointed as the
day for the farmers OF our county TO
visit the Iron county farm. Professor
william Jardine will be on the ground
at eleven a. m. that day, and will with
the help Of the local foreman conduct
the excursionists through the farm
and explain the whole situation to
then, both the cause and the effect.
Although this is an exceedingly busy
season of the year it is not likely that
the farmers can spend day more prof
itably than in visiting our experiment
farm, listening to the explanations and
viewing the situation, An abundance
OF good ice cold water and
lemonade is promised by Director
Widtsoe, but it will be necessary for
the excursionists to supply themselves
with lunch. The ladies are just as wei
come as the farmers, and the faculty
are anxious to reach as many of the
farming fraternity of possible. We
should like to publish the letter IN full,
but we have not room this week, and
next week will be too late.

SHALL WE PURCHASE.

Before the next issue Of thu Rec
ord the question Of the sale of the
Ward Hall will be decided. Next
Tuesday evening the question will
in all probability be disposed Of. 1t.
is to be hoped that our people will
not forget the matter and leave the
decision of this important business
to the small number of persons who
so often constitute the congregation
on such occasions. There are var
ious opinions in relation to the mat
ter. Some people contend that the
price asked is too high, while Others
think it is too low. Another class
think that the Ward Hall will not
fill the bill for school building, as
as the school ought, in their opinion.
to be all under one root. The pro-
uoters of the sale think, aud claim
to be able to show, that the building
will amply supply all the demand
for school rooms that our communi-
ty will require Tor many years, esti-
timating the future by the past, and
that to get as much room in the
manner that has been talked of by
those who advocate the purchasing
of new school site ana the build
ing thereon a building sufficiently
large to meet the demands OF oul
school population, would cost abou
three times what it will cost to buI
this building. Another class thinl
that the best policy would be t
build two or three small sChoo
houses and locate them in differen
parts of the city so that the smalle
children need not have to go so ia
to attend school, and keep the pres
ent building for the higher grades
While yet another class have no pol
icy to recommend, except that non
ofthese things should be done a
present, but that the school trustee
should rent school rooms until tn
district can better afford to build.

HousE-To-housE CANVASS.

Our attention has been called to
the following paragraph which is
published in the last issue of Truth"
"This year there will be a new and
complete registration of voters. The
old lists will be discarded, and reg
istrars will be appointed to make a
house canvass, who will take the
names of all qualified voters"
We had not heard of this house
toulouse canvass in connection with
the new registration, and since read.
ing the foregoing statement in Truth
we have looked the matter up as
we'll as we could with the facilities
we have in our reach, and we are
unable to find the law that requires
it. However, it is not likely that a
paper, ofthe standing that Truth has,
would make the announcement unless
it was warranted by the law, and we
suppose we haven't looked in the
right place. Will some one better
informed cite us,to the section in
which it is to be found.
