PLEASANT HILL SCHOOL OPENING.

Belated last week.
Janet, Miss, Oct. z, 1912.-The
Pleasant Hill Consolidated School
began this morning with good at
tendace, two transportation wagons
and just plenty of good old fashion
ed school interest. After opening
the school with proper exercises we
had some short talks from several of
the patrons were greatly enjoyed by
all present.
We will be ready to occupy our
new school building in a few days
and we can then boast of one of the
best rural school buildings in the
county. With the good roads that
are under construction in this part
of the county and good schools, also
the kind of revivals that has just
closed at this place the people should
be improved in manv ways.
We expect to make our school this
session one ofthe best IN the county
and now If you doubt it just watch
us. We hope that we can meet with
the other schools of the county in
the Spring in a County Fields Day,
thereby leaving the matter up to the
public to decide for us.

PRIZES AWARDED.
W. H. GIBSON, John Deere disc
pillow, first prize, highest yield, one
acre. $500 gold filled watch. for
cheapest corn produced.
DEWEY KITTRELL, $25. 90, End high
est yield, one acre.

HoLLIE BRADLEY, One pair Poland
China pigs; highest yield on half
acre. 50. 90, End best ten ears ex-
hibited.
CLAUDE GIBSON, $1,000, End prize,
half acre.
W. D. KITTRELL, $500 best ten ears
exhibited.
We are indeed sorry that some of
the boys who have the best acres of
corn failed to be on hand with their
reports and exhibits, however the
committee has done it's duty, as no
tlce was given through the county
paper.
There were prizes offered that
were not called for, as there were
not enough reports and exhibits on
hand to get them all. Boys, take
the County paper so you will be sure
to keep up with all the legal and
other notices given through it; it
will be an interesting thing for you,
once you get in the habit of keeping
up with such matters; and it will be
decidedly educational for you.
We do not know that any OF the
present committee will have the
pleasure of being on your committee
next year, but we wish to recon-
mend that you begin at once to pre-
pare your land for next years. work,
by blowing deep and sowing some
winter cover crop to be turned I'M
der next spring before planting time.
| Let this fall blowing be 10 or IL in
ches deep at least, but with some
implement that will not bring too
much subsoil to the surface. Your
spring blowing need not be so deep.
Get all the organic matter possible
incorporated with your soil, as hui
mus is just as important as the ele-
ments of plant food contained in
your fertilizers. You must keep in
mind that that the yield of any soil
depends principally upon the amount
of humus it contains; therefore plow
in all stalks, peavines and grass on
your land, and use barnyard manure
for most of your fertilizer where the
land is very poor, for in addition to
the plant food and humus it adds to
your soil, it also adds the bacteria
without which soil is said to be
dead.
Let us have good crowd of boys
in the contest next year.
