since the beginning of the war. the mine-owners have made a brave show ing, but they have been stin further handicapped by the mobilization of the Dutch army, which took away many Of their best men, and by the calling to the coIors of German and Belgian pit men. many of whom had been emplfy- ed in the mines in the province of Lam- burg.
 Although Holland occupies only . very low rank in the coal-producfng countries of Europe, its mines are probably the most ancient, their rec ords showing workings near kerk- rade as early as HIS. The pits now owned and worked by the state were for many centuries exploited by monks
 from the Abbey of Kloosterade, who
 continued their mining operations rn-
 til as late as 17ss. The pits. now
 named the Wilhelmina. the Emma and the Hendrix gave employment to lBJ officials and 1882 pftmen of whom some 800 were called up for service in the Dutch army in August ana the following months. while numbers Of their German feIIow-workn1en also had to leave to fight their countrys bat ties Owing to the lack of experienced miners in Holland, it has become nec- essary to i'll their places with foreign
 CTS, many of them Beigians. who lied | from their own country after the Ger man invasion
 Besides the state mines there are privately owned coalhelds in Lfmburs and North Brabant, while borfngs have been made also in Over-I5seI and Gelderiand. As these altogether pro- | duce only about 10000 of the 6.0O0.- | 900 tons annually required by Hoi- land, the remainder is usually im- ported from Germany and Greai | Britain
 The German mines, since the wal | started have continued to supply 4t per cent of their usual annual quan- | tity to the Netherlands, but England has declined to permit the export o steam coal in any large quantity. Man ufacturfng concerns and municipa1i- ties turned to America for supplies | but the freight rates from the United | States to Dutch ports were % pro- | hibitive-the minimum reaching v per ton more than the rate from Ger, many-that nobody would buy.

 been received by. c. M. Sergt. H. Sheard, 225 Echo Drive, from his son. Pte. H. Sheard, 2nd Battalion, now a prisoner in Germany.

Sheard wrote him a letter and not knowing where to address it, simply put "care prisoners of war, Germany" Sergt. Sheard doubted
 very much whether his son would ever get it, but he did. The time be- tween Sergt Sheard's writing and his son's receipt of the letter was exactly a month. The Dwight re- ferred to is his chun, Corp. D. l., Donaldson of this city.

FIRST COURT AT
 NEW COUNTY SEAT
And Whether Hope Continues as Such Will Be Decided. Have Heavy Docket of Criminal Cases
 for Murder, Burglary Etc

Hope, April 4.-Tomorrow will be great day with the citizens of Hope. It will mark the opening of the first session of the Hampstead Circuit Court ever held in Hope. Judge Geo. R. Haynie of Prescott will preside. The greatest interest of the people of the county will center in the hearing of the appeal of the contest case in the matter of the special election which was held last summer on the question of removing the courthouse from Washington to Hope. Attorneys for Washington filed contest suit before former County Judge H. L. B'Shers, who rendered his decision in favor of Hope and ordered the court records removed here. Washington appealed the case, and it has been set for hear ing tomorrow. Attorneys have been taking dispositions for several weeks, and both sides are confident

dries it out. Unless the soil is full of moisture, or there are prospects of an early rain it is best to run a roller over the land to firm it, which will aid in holding the moisture. The roller should always be followed with the weeder or light smoothing harrow to mulch the top soil.
 When the cover crop consists of rye or other small grain, it should be turn ed under when about knee high. If the condition of the soil prevents blow ing at this time, double disc the crop couple of times and this will prevent the further drying out of the soil, and frequently the soil will be mellow enough in few days to blow even if it does not rain. This, of course, is true when clover is to be followed by corn also.
 Never turn the clover or other crop under without first thoroughly cutting up with a disc harrow, as the material plowed under in a layer seriously in terferes with the capillary action of the moisture in the soil. The effects of turning under in layer are what is sometimes called souring the soil with green maturing crops. Double disc the cover crop two or three times with sharp disc harrow before blow ing; blow we'll by taking a narrow furrow and edging rather than invert- ing the furrow; then double disc the land again rather deeply, and no in- furious effect will result however large the growth may be.

TO GET GOOD RESULTS
 FROM COVER CROP

Washington, D. C., April 5.-"See that the vegetable matter is thorough ] ly incorporated with the soil" says the 1 United States Department of Agricul- lures Office of Farmers Cooperative Demonstration Work, to those who 1 have used green cover crops and wish to handle their land for the succeed 1 ing crop in the most desirable manner. If the farmer is to expect good re- suits from his cover crop he must not act in a hurry and neglect this important part of the work. The disc and smoothing harrow should be used until the soil is well pulverized and the vegetable matter mixed through out the soil Those who wish sugges- tions about fertilizer ingredients to use on this soil may obtain them by writing the office at Washington, D.. IC.
 The state at which a cover crop should be turned under depends upon the soil, weather conditions and crop that is to follow. Where corn is to be planted on crimson clover land, the clover should be turned under just when the bloom begins to appear. The crop at this stage will contain about the maximum amount of plant food. Besides, it will decay much more read fly than if permitted to reach full ma urity. It may be necessary to turn the clover under a little earlier in order to get the corn planted at the proper time.
 1t is sometimes advisable to turn under earlier on account of the soil being in good condition, whereas Ii put off for few days or week, dry weather might prevent the work being done as it should be. When the land is to be planted to cotton 1t Will be necessary to turn the cover crop under earlier regardless of the stage ot growth. This will allow few days for the land to settle and to be gotten in proper condition for a good seed bed. The blow should be foll wed closely with the harrow to pulvcrize the soil before the wind and sunshir e
