this issue, the Director of Agriculture in
tends continuing his address on the sugar
cane>&c. at the Experiment Station on Mon
day next, the 10th inst. at half past two
O'Clock.
The first part of the address was published
in Wednesdays issue of this paper, and is of
such interest that some of those who heard,
it, or heard about it, may wish to have q copy.
In this connection we beg to say that we
have about half q dozen of that issue still
left.
Without pre- tending to have such arknow-
ledge of the subject as would, justify us in
commenting ON that part of the address at
ready publis he'd, we venture to think that it's
contents are of a really valuable character,
and we trust hat they will lead to s1tisfac-
tory results.
March has opened with light showers ST.
milar' to those with which February closed,
While these showers have, presumably, very
slight influence ~0n the growth OF the cane,
they are of great use in keeping up a good
supply of grass and i~n;promoting the growth
of the cotton. The Ginnery in Kings Street
has been running for overs week, but we
have not vet heard how the supply OF cotton
is coming in.
Agricultural Experiment Station,
28lh February 1913.
Dear Sir,
An extraordinary Meeting of the Agri-
cultural Society will be held at the A ri

The President hopes that there will beo

Postmaster General Burleson in an
inquiring frame of mind has asked the
Edwardsburg postmaster Glow far
from the railroad track is the Edwards
burg p. O.. and in what directions'
To which the postmaster of Edwards
burg replied Zone hundred and ten
miles due east 1t is possible though
of course not likely, that the postmaster
general contemplates DOMINIC mackinaw
coat and trousers and with skis or snow
shoes making visit to the Edwards
burg country. 1t is not to be supposed
that the average man would know that
whereas mile ordinarily is a mile.
there are miles and Edwardsburg miles.
The prospectors of the hills will est
mate a mile as the birds fly but when
he starts out to walk that mile, it is
around the mountain three or four times

Steamboat mountain to the South Fork
country before the last great climb in
TO the wilderness, commonly known as
Edwardsburg.
Normally man may be perfectly
sober when he begins the descent of
Steamboat mountain toward the south
Fork country but by the time he has
circled that mountain twenty seven
times and seen the Dustan ranch from
as many angles he begins to doubt his
sobriety, even though only grape juice
is served in Warren.
The chief difference between the Elk
creek ascent and the Steamboat descent
Is that whereas the latter is a winding.

head begins to swim and your feet to

deronsly inclined toward your guide for
his ever encouraging "we are nearly
there now, it is just over yonder."
However, there is an end to all things
and when the summit is reached and |
one lingering look is given to the dis
appearing South Fork Country there is
a feeling in your heart that here is
the Great Divide. With the passing
years this feeling strengthens and gives
an added charm to the all too desolate
life of the hills.
The easy grade to the lower country
is restful break in the pilgrimage and
almost imperceptibly the mountains
