School News
by N. g.. Jones, County Superintendent

There are three schools now in sess-
ion and we believe all are doing good
work. Miss Dugger at the Smart school
has successfully interested her pupils in
drawing and busy work and is giving
them valuable instruction. This is what
she says on the subject,
''Busy Work."
To teachers whose primary classes
are small and who find it hard to keep
the little ones interested and busy, pa
per cutting has charms too numerous
and pleasing to be disregarded. 1t is
the best ''busy work" ever used. The
little tots prefer it too, and the prom
Use of paper cutting will incite them to
harder work. Drawing is pleasure to
them, but the cutting with scissors is
even more of a treat, tho at first a
slight difficulty is encountered when
the pupil has not been trained to meas
ure distance or to form outlines with
the eye. But this is soon overcome,
and with practice, the eye soon guages
properly form, proportion and distance.
This is nice time for the cutting
from paper of hens and little chickens.
The cfiljren enjoy this as it is something
they can easily understand the form of.
One child illustrated 1.-THE Old Woman
Who Lived in a Shoe" very nicely.
When work is very nicely done, if put
on the wall to be seen by all who enter,
the little folks are very happy. Paper
cutting and tearing make the teachers
work pleasantly and keep the children
occupied and happy in spare moments.

a custom and well founded to have some
kind of work different from the every

Laxfux by Corn.

Laying by Corn.
 Tns row eUan Ssing 'ea ssen is Rnah or has already been laid by. So far as my own limited observation goes. the older corn is ,Sn ieSs Pen Psemssl1ig snired bH loo much rain and consequent omission of cultivation during the latter part oI May. The unfavorable indications are the pale color and the small size or stalk. 1t is probable that in most cases. at least on stiff soils. these ap- pearances have resulted from the sd exs clusion of air This in turn has caused nitrogen existing in the soil In the form of unrotted vegetation or fresn vegetable fertilizer (like cotton seed pr cotton seed meaD to remain in US insoluble condition.
 The free entrance of air together with warmth and moisture in the soii, nftrates. the only form in which plants utilize this most precious Of all plant food. Cultivation facilitates this free nrv snry of sr an thqs end these are abundant and other condi- tions also favorable, the fact Is attest ed by the healthy green color of the the leaves. Hence there is urgent need for prompt cultivation Nof corn that has become yellowish.. with the hope that plant food may be made soluble as stroying the weeds. Of course still more immediate object of cultivation is to conserve the moisture in the soil.
 Delay is usually more fatal with corn than with cotton. The critical period with corn is shorter than with cotton, and speaking roughly 1t may be said to extend from the time when the first tassels appear until the roasting ear stage Is reached. From unfavorable conditions at this time corn can scarce ly recover. while cotton, making its fruit through several months. has much stronger power of recuperation. This simply emphasizes the necessity of cultivating large corn as soon as It's need of cultivation is known.
 As to the character of the final cul- tivation of corn, it is self evident that 1t should be shallow to avoid serious injury to the roots. And yet many considerations modify this rule. Where grass has nearly overrun the field dur Ing a long period of wet weather, the sweeps or scrapes or other cultivating implements will need to be run deeper than is desirable since only thus can

STARTING CELERY SEED.
 Fabian Garcia.


 Celery is crop that is to be trans planted. The plants must be started in a seed bed and there cared for until they are large enough to be trans to the field. Celery seed is very small light, and quite slow to germinate, and for these reasons great pFecau- tlons are necessary in starting the Ing cabbage, onion, or tomato seed would, in most cases prove failures with celery. Very few other vegeta- bIes require such careful and constant attention of the seed-bed, and, this Is particularly true in this climate.
 The seedlings, as they germinate, are delicate and 1t takes few days be- fore they are strong enough to with During this time one must not forget to water the little plants regularly or else the hot sun or drying winds are liable to cause many of the delicate

The seed is planted quite thick in drills about to 4 inches apart and from 1-4 to 1-2 inch deep. and then covered very shallow with the lightest kind of soil. Immediately after the seed is planted the bed is watered. From this time on a careful management of the seed-bed Is necessary, remember ing that the surface soil must not be allowed to become too dry and hard. To keep the soil from baking, 1t should be watered at regular intervals. The frequency of the watering of the seed bed will depend largely on whether 1t is exposed to our hot suns and drying spring winds. If the seed-bed Is
