A Tribute.

Mrs. Manerva Woodrum 73
years old to-day, Nov, Is 1912,
born 1889, joined the Christian
church in 1858, in which she
lived a consistent Christian life,
always mild, cheerful and patient
even to death, married Samuel
WOodrum August %, 1861, to
which union ten children were
born, who. with her husband,
still survive her. She was low
ing as a wife and mother, and
kind to every one.
She was laid to rest in the
the Merrimac cemetery till the
last trumpet shall sound.
For our dear loving grand
mother we cannot help but weep.
Her sweet, pure life has fled anC
left us, but her dear, sweet
memory will linger in our home
forever. Her body lies sleeping
beneath the sod, but alas! she il
not dead-only asleep in Jesu
with saints and the angels in tn
land of the blest.
A Granddaughter.

farming scientifically, but they
are far behind several of the old
countries mainly because they
take more from the soil than
they put back; They are rob-
bers of the soil. The population
of the United States has in
creased 81 per cent. in the last
ten years and the grain increase
of the nation has been only II
per cent, hence the surplus of
the nation is growing less from
year to year, and this is true of
many of the other crops of the
nation. Countries whose soil
has been cultivated for thous-
and years produce larger and
better crops than in the United
States because Of their better
system Of farming. More atten-
ton mnst be paid to soil building
more people must sow grass and
rotate their crops. More people
must then turn their attention to
cattle, truck and poultry raising.
Farms need to be cleaned up and
put into a thriving and paying
condition. Farmers must wake
up and get books and papers
upon farming and learn to farm
proftably. Many of our farm
ers have yet to learn that they
do not know how to farm, make
money and at the same time
build up their soil.

Egg Production.

Produce the infertile egg.
Infertile eggs are produced by
hens having no male birds with
them.
Removing the male bird has
no influence on the number OF
eggs laid.
The hens greatest prOfit-pro-
ducing period is the first and
second years, and unless a hen is
an exceptionally good breeder
she should be disposed of at the
end of her second laying season
and before starting to mott.
If possible, mark the pullets
that lay in the fall, and use them
in the breeding pen for the fol
lowing spring.
Soft shelled eggs are Otter
caused by fowls being confined
becoming overfat, and from
lack of mineral matter.

Sheriffs Must GIVE up Money

Actions probably W i'll be insti-
tuted against county sheriffs,
who have been taking fees out
of school taxes collected by
them. Inspectors have reported
to the Department of Education
that this practice is not uncom-
mon and Superintendent Banks
dale Hamlet said he believed
several thousands of dollars can
be recovered for the use of the
State school fund. The sheriff
is entitled to ten per cent of the
first $4,000 he collects and four
per cent Of the balance; but the
Court Of Appeals has held that
none of this may come out Of
the school tax, which must be
turned in intact, and the sheriff
must take his fees out Of the
county fund. 1t is reported that
in some counties the school fund
in being made that goat" and
the sheriffs are taking all of the
first ten per cent out of it, the
county fund profting thereby.
SCHOOL PROBLEM.
The Department of Educa ton
also is trying to solve the pro-
blem raised by the relation be-
tween denominations, schools
and public schools in the noun
tains. Schools there, supported
/ by DeneVOlenC associations ire
quently are given the>commor
school fund to aid in their sup
port. While it is acknowledged
that in many instances the com
munity has better schools Their,
by, some friction has arisen an,
Superintendent Hamlet is o
the opinion it is time for tn
communities to begin to assum
their own responsibility for tn
, public schools.

1t has been reported that there

some people, especially outsiders
have almost gone wild about it,
and over a thousand hogs from
different sections have been
driven in here. One party had
a drove of about three hundred
and was this week served with a
notice to remove them at once on
penalty of a damage suit if he
failed. 1t created some little stir
but the hogs disappeared just
the same. Since this took place
it has been rumored that others
would be required to remove
their hogs, and if they should be
it might work a hardship on
someone. Bnt from the observa-
ton of your reporter the amount
of mast in the woods has been
over-estimated. / do not believe
that there is one tenth the
amount that some people claim
there is.
