SCHOOL BOARD MEETS
Matters of Importance t
Schools Passed on

The Lee County School Board
held its annual meeting at the
office of the county superinten-
dent of education Tuesday.
The schools of the county hav-
ing been permanently located in
most instances there was but
little for the board to consider at
their meeting. There were three
petitions, however, presented to
the board. First, a petition from
the northwest portion OF the
first district, asking to be annex
ed to the Baldwin school. This
petition was granted. The child
dren of the old Bell school were
represented in this petition. The
Bell school had been discontinued
for the past two years and the
children in the district were
without school facilities. The
children will be hauled to Bald
wyn at public expense.
A petition from the second
district, asking for the consoli-
dation of the Birmingham, Nc
Nell and Mound Springs school
was granted. The petition was
very generally signed, a large
majority of the patrons of the
three schools signing the petition.
This petition was granted un-
der condition that the patrons
build a $4,000 school building,
either by private subscription or
by bond issue as provided under
the school laws. Two petitions
were presented in case of the
consolidation of Mt. Vernon.
Macedonia and the Heard school;
The petition against consc1 lda'
ton had a ma GRITTY Of sigf1ers
and the petition was not granted.
The date of opening the white
schools of the county was fixed
on the first Monday of Novem-
ber and the third Monday In
November for tn e coloreC
schools. The term will be five
months.

Bales and Lefty Merritt
To Appalachian League

The following notice OF our
young pitcher, Howard Merritt
appeared in Sundays CONNER
cial. The Cotton States league
closed out for the season on the
9th inst. and Merritt will go to
Knoxville and finish the season
with the Apalanchian league.
The season for Clarksdale was
disastrous, but the team finish
ing fourth, but the individual
players made good. TIE team
was mismatched and badly man
aged. Knoxville stands at the
head of the list in her league and
Merritt will have an opportunity
of playing to the close Of the
season with first class team.
He left last night for Knoxville:
"When their contracts with
the Clarksdale club of the Cotton
States League club expire to-
morrow, Infelder Bales and
Pitcher Lefty Merrett. formerly
of the Turtle club, will hit the
bush league trail with hope of
finding new riches and laurels in
the Appalachian League.
1t was announced yesterday
that young Merritt has been or
dered to report to the Knoxville
club, of which Frank Meffet is
manager, while it is understood
that the Rome club of the same
league has offered Bales a con-
tract for the remainder OF the
season. 1t is most likely that
both players will accept.
Merritt has been pitching high
class ball in the sister associa-
ton. Instead, when it is consld-
cred that 1913 is his first year in
professional arena his work as a
member of the Clarksdale nine
has been remarkable.
Perhaps the bizarre debut
The Tupelo journal., 1913-08-01

Bales made with the locals last
season led the fans to expect TOO
much from him. At that the col
legian played a fair game at
shortstop for Clarksdale and
proved consistent hitter.
Should either Merritt or Bales
show to flattering form in their
new field of baseball endeavor.
it is more than likely that Man
ager Bernhard will arrange for
their return to the home club"

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Professor E. r. Lloyd, Archi'
bald Smith and Superinten-
dent Clayton Hold
Institutes.

Institutes.
During the week Professor E.
R. Lloyd, Archibald Smith and
Superintendent Clayton held in
stitutes at Uklatubba, and Shan
non. At the former place was a
large crowd of farmers and their
wives who were enthusiastic ad-
vocates of the improved methods
of farming and change for the
better in the advantages offered
the man on the farm.
Professor Lloyd at the morning
session talked on the value OF
serface drainage, seed collection
and cultivation. Prof. Lloyd adj
vocates a surface ditch rounded
out with the plow and scraper
and cultivation across the ditch
to prevent the growth of grass
and weeds in it, or so that q
mower may be used to keep
down grass and weeds. He con-
tends that a ditch cut square
with a spade or shovel will cave
in and that it is impossible to
keep down the growth of grass
and weeds along the sides of
the ditch. The rounded out
ditch can be cut with teams and
scrapers and can be done with
less cost than with spades and
shovels.
Taking up seed he advoca-
ted the selection of the most
prolific and showed the value of
seed with good vitality. He
stressed the value and impor.
ttance of good fall ploWing and
thorough preparation of the soil
in the spring before the planting
of seed, with continuous but
shallow cultivation until late in
the season.
Prof. Smith addressed the
crowd on the subject of more
stock and the superiority of the
better breeds over our common
stock. He advocated the grad
ing up of our cattle by importing
pure bred males, which would in
few years give US very high
grade of cattle. He showed that
a cross of this character would
be worth more at from twelve to
/ fifteen months old than fully ma
tured native steer. Recent eX-
periments throughout the South
! demonstrated the fact that there
was more profit in feeding grades
and thoroughbreds than in feed
ing native cattle. In several IN
stances where native cattle and
grades were fed native cattle
showed no profit while grades
showed profits ranging from Sl2.
to S22. SO per head. He conten-
ded that the Southern farmers
could raise more cattle and more
feed stuff and get greater profits
from the stuffs raised by feeding
it to the cattle and selling the
cattle than they get from cotton
farming, and at the same time
| build up the soil instead of de-
pleting it. His talk along this
| line was highly appreciated by
the audiences
At Shannon a good crown met

whose talks were along the same
lines.
