tons today, and they have made re-
cord for business like handling Of the
matters that came before them for
consideration that has not been sur
passed for many years in the county.
The term has lasted for four weeks,
and there has been none of the time
frittered away at the expense Of the
county without results. They are all
men of affairs and when they assem-
bled for their deliberations there was
no thought of anything but the coun-

at the same time public injury to the

just before adjournment this morning
comprised about seventy indictments.
They were classified as follows:
Selling liquor, AZ; profanity, q; car

larceny, 3, incest, /; assault and bat
terry, /: fraudulent breach Of trust, 1;
assault to kill. 1; obstructing road, 1;
aiding prisoners to escape, l.
OF the liquor indictments five were
found under the new enforcement
laws. and one Of them was an inter-
state bill
There had been two reports OF the
Jury prior to that Of this morning
which ran the total to the above men
toned, and in those reports there
we're perhaps fifteen indictments for
liquor selling. making the total for
this offense alone between fifty-five
and sixty. In speaking Of the In
dictments returned one Of the jurors
stated that there was hardly possi-
bility of not securing conviction In
every case.
Before discharging the jury Judge
Turner took occasion to compliment
them for their untiring labors and the
very efficient manner in which they
had performed their duties.

FARMER WHO WASTES

Get Ready Now. to start the Flowing

ity When Spring Time Weather
Arrives.
(By Capt T. f. Peck, Commissioner
of Agricuture.)

OF Agricuture.)
When the crops are gathered in the
fall Of the year some farmers con
slider their work is finished until
spring, when they begin preparations
for crop. have never. yet seen q
prosperous farmer who 81 practiced
that method of farming. II you will
go to a farm run that way you via
find farm implements and machinery
exposed to the weather; you will find
fences and buildings needing repair;
you will find bitches that need clean
ing; you will find fence rows and
ditch banks grown up; you win find
harness that need mena,ng. and oil
ing; you viii find live stock exposed
to the weather.
When spring comes and the soil il {
in condition to stir. the plows and
harness need mending. fences to bs
fixed and things to do that will stop
the plows and all work that could
have been done during the winter
motnhs, but the time was wasted, and
when every moment was valuable
for stirring the soil something else
had to be done. Before the ground
was plowed it either got too dry and
hard or there was 30 much wet
weather good seed bed could not
be prepared. or some of the land was
left out
The farmer was behind all the
time. He was behind in cultivat
ing and poor crop resulted; all from
putting OF Until tomorrow what
could and should be done today and
failing to do the many things duling
the winter months getting everything
ready. for the growing season.
When you find such farmer, IL
you will examine his barnyard you
will see manure going TO waste and
he will be buying commercial ferti-
lizers to boost his crop and using 1t
on improperly prepared ground that
no matter how rich In plant food,
the fertilizer could not produce re-
suits because the soil was not In
condition to make the plant food
available
Let us realize that wasted time
is wasted opportunity, and wasted
opportunity is cheating ourselves
and our families out OF comforts
and conveniences that we can have
if we appreciate the value of time
and profit by the opportunities that
are In our reach II we have the capae
city grasp them when thew come.
Our winters are such that outdoor
work can be done most OF the time
and the few days when 1t is too cold
or too wet for outdoor work we cs1
repair our small tolls, mend the har-
ness. and get everything ready for
use when needed. BY doing 90 we
will nnd we win have time to do the
things that have been suggested in
Talks to Farmers" and elsewhere
to improve our farms and make
them more productive. When we
make up our minds that we want to
do SO we will manage to get It done
and the result will justify the added
effort on our part.
