Items Reinstated.

Whether the tax rate FOR 1910 shall
be higher or lower tnan that OF 1909
now rests largely with the general
road fund committee of the board OF
estimates. The reports OF the other
committees have been either turned
ia or largely shaped, 80 that II Is

very great cuts from the figures lett

Mrs. Wilder cultivates part of her plan tation with hired labor and is making some most valuable demonstrations i'll di- versifed and intensive agriculture.
 She showed me a large field of cotton that will produce more than bale of cotton to the acre. Four and one-half acres of corn have already produced a shade more than 50 bushels to the acre. And all this has been done without the fall preparation that is required under the rules of the department demonstra- ton work
 The services of the demonstrator were not secured until last spring, too late to make the required preparation. Work, however, has been started this fall for next year and much better results are ex- pected during the next season. It re- quires IS months to make a good crop under the plans of the department.
 Following wheat, crop of winter pas ture rye Is planted which is followed by corn in the spring of the second year. Mrs Wilder has a large tract of land now in winter rye on which land she expects to grow 100 bushels of corn per acre next year. The crop of rye is green and fine now.
