| Editor Jones County News

lion, but the past few days have
been pleasant and springlike. At
! last the soil has become dry enough |
to plow and the farmers are push |
/ for all they are worth to get their
belated crops started. Mr.. j. b. |
| prayter is putting in six acres of
Irish potatoes, and there has been
I talk of Others planting. There can
lcertainly be no doubt but that
southern grown Irish potatoes Will
! demand good price this year, as
the government estimates that last
years crop as fifly-seven million
bushels short of 1910, and the Wis
ible supply on January was about
forty per ceni less than one year
ago.

News did not show up until satur-
day night, and as we have no mail

papers until MondR

annual pass over the entire Queen
and Crescent system. Hence, we are
now authorized TO offer Docks au-
