showed II decrease Of forty per cent
the largest decrease shown by any
state, the total output OF the state
being but 20 900, 600 tons. In Penn
lsylvania the decrease in the produc-
ton Of bituhiinous coal alone was
from ~, 1000 900 to 2 5 700, GEO tons.
Compared with such DECREASES,
the production for West Virginia
showed up remarkabiy well in d year
that was disastrous to all coal pro-

West Virginia In 1918 was 4 81 Z

for 1 91 according to the United

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. D. Louisiana and Arkansas are taking a leading part in the preparations now under way in the Pike's Peak region for the celebration of All Southern States Day. The many residents of these two rich southern states plan to make big showing in the affair, which will probably consist of a pie nic at Manitou, decorated automo- bile parade, a band concert and a grand ball in the evening.
 The height of the summer season in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region is now near at hand and Louisiana and Arkansas folks are coming in large numbers, Many are getting their first glimpse of the wonderful scenery here and the at fractions by way of the special tour parties, which are being routed this way in large numbers. Others are coming with their families to spend the hot term.
 The automobile traffic from the south has increased to a large eXten. this season, due to the good roads and the fact that it has been within the last few years that the "See America" movement has gained such impetus throughout the southland especially.

Few schools now rely entirely up- on examinations as a test for promo tion," declares w. s. Deffenbaugh, Chief of the Division of School Ad- ministration of the U. s. Bureau of Education, in his annual review of school conditions in the smaller cities.
 "In some schools examinations are made to count one-half, while in oth- CTS they count only one-fourth. It is now recognized that examinations are not true tests of the pupils abi- lity to do the next grades work, and that pupal should not be promoted on what he knows, but on what he can do. Of 755 superintendents in the smaller cities reporting, 669 say that they are now reporting, 669 say aminations much less than formerly" :"

ENDOWMENT IS EX- PECTED AGAINST LEVEE
LinwOOd- Auburn Levee Across Middle State Farm Would
 Subject 5000 Acres Valuable Land To OverflOw-be Useless

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-No steps have yet been taken to enjoin the Linwood Auburn Levee Board from proceeding with their project for building a le- wee across the middle of the state farm, which will leave 5000 acres of valuable land subject to overflow and render it practically worthless.
 It is expected, however, that some thing will be done soon, since the Commissioners have assurance that levee can be so constructed that it will provide the same protection and throw out only 500 acres.
 The question has also arisen whe- ther levee district can exercise their right of eminent domain over land owned and occupied by the state. It has been held in some courts that one public organization has the right to condemn the land of another public corporation for public purposes.

STRAWBERRIES FOR NEXT YEAR

Plant pot-grown strawberries any time during July or August, on good rich well-prepared land and have an abundance of berries for the family next season. Get the ground fine and mellow, so the plants will develop strong roots this season, as the crop results depend on this seasons root growth
 Trim back the leaves as soon as the plants are received from the dealer and puddle the roots, that is, soak them in mud about the consistency of thin paste. Set the plants in rows two or three feet apart, and the plants twelve to eighteen inches apart in the rows The new runners will fill the spaces between the plants until a solid row of plants results. Keep the runners out of the spaces between the rows and the plants in the rows at least five inches apart.
 In setting out plants of any kind wet the soil thoroughly with hose the night before or early in the morn ing. Then set out the plants at sun down and water thoroughly. Keep the plants from willing by watering or Faffording shade. For shading, a wooden berry box dropped over each plant during the day answers the purpose. Remove them at night and replace in the morning. Shading will only be required for day or two until the plants get a root start suf- fcient to supply the foliage sufficient to prevent the sun drying the plants up.
 For mulching the best results we have obtained is by using leaves in the spaces between the rows and marsh hay or straw around the plants and over the leaves in the row.-Home and Farm.
