GravelhiIl.

Spring is here at last and farmers
are getting busy. However, the
temptation to plough the land before
it is thoroughly dry, has been too
great for some. There is scarcely
anything we can do on the farm that
will entail longer train of evils than
ploughing land too wet. Such soil
will be out of condition the season
through, and give nothing but vexa-
ton of spirit. Let US, therefore, be
patient and wait for the proper OPP
portunity.
Messrs. Nickles and May, the farm
demonstrators for this county, were
| in our midst recently. Mr.. Nickles
was favorably impressed with this
community and contemplates holding
a farmers meeting here some time in
the near future for the benefit of all
who wish to learn. We gladly vel
come him.
Cattle dipping has begun at our
vat. All are anxious to abide by the
law and get rid Of the ticks and the
worrisome job Of dipping. We hope
that the inspectors will do their full
duty so we will not have to continue
to dip on account Of a few refusing
to obey.
Mr.. Robt. Emmons, Of Selmer, dyn-
amited a lot of stumps for W. G..
Armstrong one day last week. W. G.
was anxious to get rid of the stumps
but he is worried now to know how
he will get the holes filled up in time
to make crop.
The sale at our store is continued,
but owing to the busy season it is
not crowded with customers as at
first.
We are glad to note that W. A..
Burns is improving. We hope to see
him out soon.
