"The best pasture crop for swine"
A. w. Clapp prefers June clover for
pasture, peas for fattening. w. II.
Smith prefers June grass as the
swine cannot root it up. e. e. Bunt-
ing thinks June clover leads all for
swine pasture.
Growing and harvesting beans. :"
G. l.. Greenwald says that locality
and weather have much to do with a
good crop; plow clover sod early and
deep, have good drainage, do not
rough them in, plant one half bushel
good seed per acre and stack under
shelter if possible. A. Stewart
thinks one half bushel is not enough
| seeds per acre. Eugene McGlockne
favors Mr.. Stewards ideas.
Would it not be for the interests
of the taxpayer to have a grand jury
/ called once in two years?" w. H..
| Smith gave detailed account of the
work of the jury and thought the
| outlook was good, when they adjourn
ed there were enough indictments to
| have done the county some good,
but the cases were dismissed and
nolle pressed until the result has
| been of no benefit to the taxpayer.
| E. E. Bunting thinks that the work
OF the grand jury will be a benefit
in the future, If not for the present;
that We have enough good honest
men in office now to keep things
| straight that in the future some time
grand jury might do good work, but
| it will not be necessary as soon as
| two years. W. S. Carson says that
the result of the grand jury is enough
to make one sick; those who were
found guilty were not punished, SO
| where is the benefit if the county
| clerks records are worthless? He
thinks if that is so, then are not the
| records Of the register of deeds apt
| to be worthless, and the deeds to
our homes and farms worthless or
lost. E. o. Place said, eyes, have a
| grand jury once in two years, it will
be a saving in the end" A. Stewart
does not see the benefit as the super
visors were not convicted, so the pres
ent officers have nothing to fear.
| We next listened to two fine reel
tations by Miss Mattibel Getman
How He Let Her Know" and "The
Spelling Lesson"
The entertainment committee an
