Jacksonville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-The cool weather has interfered very
much with gardening and corn planting. tits
not thought, however, that the fruit is injured
80 far. 1t is hoped the weather will soon
moderate so our farmers can plant their corn
and not be rushed with work when farm help
is so scarce. II is indeed discouraging to those
especially who cultivate large farms not to be
able to secure the necessary help when they
are willing to pay fair wages for it.
The chilly weather also interfered with the
Maying parties which will necessarially be
postponed until later in the season when more
wild flowers will be in bloom. These occasions
are greatly enjoyed by our city friends who de-
light to stroll through field and woodland at
this season of the year.
Arbor Day was observed by our public
schools, where specially prepared programs

a standstill until all danger is past.
