Grass. Grass, Did we say Grass? Well. 1t seems that some mention has been made of grass. And it is not at all certain but that it will be mentioned several times hereafter, for 1t is a well evidenced and undisputed fact that there is nothing more charming than a well kept lawn. And the little strip" between walk and curb forms a part of the lawn. It is well to keep an eye on this strip.
 Don't Cut Corners
 And just here, it has been suggested that some means should be adopted to pre- vent the constant ''pathing' of the cor ners of pretty lawns or strips by thought less pedestrians who are under the im- precision they save a world of time by just cutting across" this corner instead of keeping on the nice cement walks that are provided for us. Why is it people are so utterly indifferent to this damaging habit? Why is it they will persist in walking across an otherwise pretty strip of grass just because other thoughtless persons seem to have left the impression of a big foot either in the fresh watered grass or in the dew covered emerald?
 School Course
 Now, in all our efforts to institute and maintain city beautiful, there are some

 fundamental principles to be established. How is it best done2 Well, it is sug- sested that We begin in the schools. It should be part of the Course" in every grade in our public schools. than which there are none better, to suggest and impress upon our children to have regard for the bright spots everywhere, whether in front of a hovel or a pal ace If We could get the occupants of the lowly cottage to grow. and care for a spot of grass fl would be q wonderful work accomplished
 White Schools
 Suggestions have appeared Frequently of late about appointing an instructor of gardening in the colored schools Why limit 1t to the colored schools? Why not give our children an opportunity to be- come acquainted with the manner of do- ing things in the lawn and garden? Why not encourage them along broader lines, and inculcate in their impressions ble minds the habit Of caring for flowers or vegetables, whichever they fancy most, and without knowing it. the habit will grow on then-some more permanently and strongly than on others. But there would be no way of prognosticating where this interest would end. Il might be the means of making a great farmer. or noted horticulturist. We can never tell. Let us try the experiment.

 The total value of the crop, including the value Of cotton seed, Is unofficiarly estimated at roundly more than s1 .0OO, GOO, . coo compared with s9oo. .ooO, GOO last year and Ss36,o0o,0oo for the previous most valua ble crop, that of 1910.
 These figures compare with lS, 70S, 421. equivalent 5oo-pound bales of lint and 6os,- 5s4 bales of linters last year, and l5, ,692.- 7ol bales of lint and 557,575 bales of linters in 1911.
 The department of agrlculture's esti- mate announced December 12. placed the 1913 crop at 13,6T, ooO equivalent 5oo-pound bales.
 Change in Report
 with this report the bureau of census departed from it's previous method of reporting the cotton crop by not includ- ing the quantity of linters in the total production. Director William J. Harris announc6 this was done because with the Installation of modern machinery closer delinting of seed had largely in- creased the quantity of linters and at the same tune lowered the acerage quail lty or the fibre, so that now only n small part If any. was used as A substitute for lint cotton
 The number of running bales of lint cotton, counting round as half bales. was l3,964.9S1, and of inter cotton 629 019 run ming bales, compared with 13 ASS, ,539 run ming bales of lint and 6o2 S24 running bales
