Common Council.

A short, quiet and unimportant meet
ing of the council was held Monday
evening. Rev. J. A. Clyde represented
the ministers of the city.
The matter of grading the land in
front of Aid. John Browns house in an
attempt to make street of it was again
brought up, Brown claiming it had been
used for street a great many years
and that A. Lee Williams had had it put
on the tax roll so as to buy it on tax
titles and had seven deeds to it from the
state. A resolution that Joseph Taylor
be employed to grade strip of land
fifty feet wide was passed, Aid. Lam
from voting no. A resolution to have
the fifty feet taken from the assessment
roll was also passed. A communication
from Mr.. Williams was read Offering tc
sell part of the old railroad bed to the
city for street For 20-foot strip he
asked $50; for 33 feet 800; for 40 feet
$3.50. No action was taken, the com
munication being filed.
The special committee reported that
the old Parker brick yard should be
drained thoroughly. The plumber
bond of A. F. Hollis with I. G. Curry
and B. S. Knapp as sureties was ap-
proved. The street commissioners re.
port showed that 1850 feet of walk had
been laid and $273. O4 expended. Neil r
Walsh's bill as acting municipal Judge
allowed at $50 90 was withdrawn and
re-allowed at $s3 33. Mayor Parkill

recting the purchasing of inch water
mains for the extensions on Stewart

action will undoubtedly be vetoed by
the mayor.
Aid. Lamb presented q resolution
authorizing the commencement of con-
domination proceedings for securing the
lots owned by James and Morris Osburn
that are wanted for the north Owosso
sewer. 1t was unanimously carried.
A special committee of three was Sc
lected to confer with the Owosso 81 Co.
runna Electric Co. as to the extension

Good Soil for Best Results.

The harvesting of the beet crop is
now on and it is the proper time to con-
slider the selection of soil for the 1906
crop and get the preliminary work
under way. The Importance of select
ing good soil, and taking the crop up in
a rotation is becoming more and more
understood and practiced. Probably
never before has so much fall blowing
been done, for the beet crop, as has been
done this fall, and meyer at this time
has there been so much sentiment to-
ward growing the crop for another sea-
son.
Many farmers have already selected
their beet lands and others are debating
which field shall be used. We say use
the best. The beet crop pays the best
and consequently is entitled to the best
because results are what we are all look
ing for from our crops. The soil must
be in good condition otherwise the re-
suits will not be up to expectations.
1t is best to select good, rich, level
ground for sugar beets because the
richer the soil the better the crop, and
the grower will be rewarded for select
ing good soil; then good work is an
other essential thing which must not
be neglected even if the soil is rich in
production, for clean and well Guilt
waited field is bound to give good results,
as has been experienced by growers
that if the field is cultivated and hoed
oftener during the growing season a
difference can be noticed by the rapid
growth of the plants. Deep blowing
for the beet field will repay the cost of
an extra horse in the wedding time.
Weed seed will terminate at above two
inches and thus should be put down
deep enough to smother them, and deep
enough so that cultivation will not
bring them to the surface. Sugar Beet

Corn Culture.

The attention of farmers particularly
those who are interested in the produc-
ton of corn is called to the coming
County Farmers Institute to be held in
Owosso early in January. 1t is the in
tention of those having the matter in
charge to devote a considerable time to
corn subjects and in addition to have a
corn show and demonstration in con-
junction with the regular institute.
This is done regularly at the State
Round Up and has become distinct
feature of that meeting.
The value of an early selection of
seed corn not only to be able to make a
creditable entry but for next years
planting as well can hardly be over
estimated. Prof. Holden of the Iowa
Agricultural College says; "There must
be tremendous Jogging" or waking
up to the Importance of better seed
corn in the Central West.
If every ear of corn intended for
planting next spring was harvested this
fall not later than the middle of Octo-
Der and hung up in the attic where il
could dry out thoroughly before the
bitter cold freezes of November and
December, millions of dollars would be
added to the value of next years corn
| crop.
Prof. Jeffrey, of M. A. c., who is pres.
ident of the State Corn Improvement
Association is expected to be present
and it requires only the hearty cooper
alton of farmers to make the show a
success.

why NOt2

Elsewhere we use, this week, q plan
outlined by certain members OF the Co
burn Hall Association relative to the re-
building OF the burned district. Thi-
plan modestly ~ proposes that thu
town take the laboring oar, put In s25, =
900. and hold a controlling inteles In TN
building, l. may be judiciOus for ht
town 10 put 10 this amount OF money.
We want to ,sleen over the proposition
before we agree 10 ii; but whatever the
town does put in, 1t should do 1t as tair
business proposition on an even deal Wi b
any other stockhoder, aud whatever u4t
it makes Of any portion of the building
should also be on fair business basis
Whatever the town does, should be done
with the idea of investing in the pr j-c'
to help it along, to help along the busi
ness interests of the place aud with Il
reasonable prospect of receiving fair
return from the Investment made.
There are many circumstances to be-
OF a suite of fiae Offices for the use OF
the town in this proposed building or
any other building. Oae of them is, thai
on the Island, the Town or Village Coz
poration, which is three-fourths of thu
town, has new, fine brick building
nearing completion, the upper story OF
which will be available for some purpose
or lie idle ard upOccupied. The sugges-
tion has been made that the town occup
this second story for town purposes
Two nice large offices are being tinished
Ia the front end of the building aud tn
remainder can at small expense, be fl
ted up as a hall that would be large
enough for all town purposes excepting
the usual annual town meeting, and
once in a while, upon extraordinary oc-
casons, for special town meetings. |
would be ample in siZ, for all elections,
state or national, and for ordinary spec
ial meetings of the town. The location
Is sufficiently central for all practical
purposes, outside or inside the village.
Ii is well enough to take this matter
into consideration when other prof cts
are being canvassed. When the town
or three quarters of the town-the Vii.
lage orporation-has this unoccupie,
room to let, it is wisdom to take int
consideration whether the town canno
occupy it to the advantage of all partie-
concerned. Why notP
