A Great Crop.

w. b. Cloyes, who is one Of the
enterprising and successful truck
farmers in Union City, gave us a
report of his cabbage crop last year.
In addition to his tomatoes and
other crops, Mr.. Cloyes devoted one
acre of ground to cabbage plants.
One-halt of this ground had been
used for years as an orchard and
the soil was very poor. Mr.. Cloyes
made the crop himself, and the cab
bages we're all marketed, the total
receipts of the single crop being
$234.58. Besides this he sold to the
neighbors from SIS to So worth, of
which no account was kept. The
entire expense of the crop was:
For fertilizer and nitrate Of soda,
$27. so; for $50 crates at II cents,
$500. Total expense, $43.10.lcav-
ing a net profit of nearly 5000 on
one acre of cabbages. This beats

a net profit of very little. OF course

Valuable Scholarship.

c. M. Mathis, Principal of the
Union City Training School, has
been presented with a scholarship
by the President of the University
of Kentucky, emitting the holder to
free matriculation and tuition for a
term OF four years, or a sufficient
length of time to acquire the degree
of Bachelor of Arts. The scholar
ship is intended to be presented to
the honor pupil in Prof, Mathis
school. 1t is valued at $500, the
total amount of tuition, ETC., for
that length of time. The Univer-
sity of Kentucky is one Of the best
institutions in the South and the
scholarship Is worth the attention
of any ambitious young gentleman
seeking an education. This schol-
arsh;p should be a great induce
ment to the pupils of the Training
School in aspiring to highest scho-
lastic honors. 1t should increase
the enrolment and strengthen the
school altogether This should put
the trustees to thinking about the
dormitory again. Have they aban-
doned the enterprise altogether ?
It is time to go at it now if it is to
