Monday, June 3rd.

vnestay the board Of supervisors
met In special session to take action
on the matter OF submitting the ques-
tion of bonding the county for the
building Of good roads. Every super
visor was in his place when the gavel
fell. Peutions we're read from pearly
every voting precinct in the county,
signed by a total OF over five hundred
free holders, asking that the board
call a special election to submit the
question of bonding the county for
the sum OF $3.50, 900 for tue purpose of
building good roads i'd Charleyoix
county.
The courtroom was comfortably
filled with citizens from all portions
OF the county, and the board devoted
Its time TO listening To an expression
OF opinion from different citizens In
regard to the proposition. All classes
were represented aud the generally ex-
pressed opinloa was IN favor OF issu-
Ing bonds for the amount asked for,
the only dissenting opinion being
from John Xnudson and Nat Burns,
who presented resolution adopted
by Pomona grange against the issuing
OF twenty year bonds, although they
were in favor Of good road, but would
rather pay for them by direct tax.
Mr.. Cox, OF the state highway depart
ment who was present as well as other
speakers explained how a system OF
roads could DC built much cheaper by
a bond issue than by direct TAX, as
the missioners could work out q
detinate plan. 1t was also explained
that IL was uot The Intention 10 issue
twenty year bonds but 10 outline d
plan where by we could build the
roads now, reap the benefit and pay
for them practically IN we went along

the fish hatchery Friday afternoon.
Everyone enjoyed the experience very
much in spite OF the fact that it rain
ed while they were returning 10 the
school house.
The need for farmers TO test their
seed corn is illustrated by the tests
the memters of the normal Class have
just completed The first test USED
was as follows; 20 grains of both crio
and selected seed corn were planted.
At the end OF ten days 80 per cent OF
the selected seed corn was sprouted
and up. The crib corn had not
spron;ed at all. The second test con-
sisted of putting five grains of select
ed seed corn in each OF ten test saucers
and also live grains Of CRIB corn in ter
test saucers. At the end of three day:
100 per cent Of the selected corn was
sprouted in eight Of the saucerS anC
| 50 per cent ia the other two, while d
the crib corn none was sprouted.
