cult Judges have excused their trisi
jurymen until further notice"
Under section 2214 of the revised
laws, 1915, If the board appropriates
money for the courts which is beyond
its income fer that year, the entire
board is liable to 60 to jail, under {
statute providing for fine Of MOI

absence of an appropriation by the
board Of supervisors, or in excess OF
the appropriation of 81. 300. then, un
der act Sc Of the session laws Of 1915
any public officer or court official who
so spends the money is liable to a fine
of $500. or imprisonment for not more
than one year, or BOTH
No Grand jury Sessions.
Attorney Garden goes on to state
that the city and county attorneys of
fee will not call any meetings OF the
territorial grand jury until some spe
cial action is taken or special legisla
ton passed to alleviate the courts dis
tress, as, by SO doing, the officers
would be liable. In Mr.. Gardens opin
ion. no one could be held liable for
refusing to financially assist the
courts, nor could the judges bring con
tempt proceedings against anyone.
The mandamus proceeding, he be
lieves, might lie IL the board OF super.
visors had not already appropriated
the entire $14,500 required by law
But the board of supervisors already
has done this, he points out, and any
other contribution would be pure graf
uity on the part of the supervisors.
"a special session of the legisla-
tnre," says Attorney Garden, might
easilye remedy matters by repeating
the cash basis fund law, thus making
that money instantly available.
81 think the legislature could dig us
out of the trouble by amending the
tax laws and providing for increased
assessments or an Increased share to

BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
San Antonio Experiment Station Gives
Some Timely Suggestions to
Overcome Root-Rot.

Some timely suggestions may be
found In recent reports from the ex-
pertinent farm at San Antonio, Tex,
with reference to the cropping system
to overcome root-rot on cotton. The
brief report says:
1T has been found in the rotation
experiments that rOot-r0t is less seri-
Gus in cotton grown In rotation with
other crops, such as corn or oats, than
when the same land is used continu-
ousIy for cotton production. In fact,
there has been little or no root-rot
damage on any plants where cotton has
been grown on fall-plOwed ground.
The rotations included corn, sorghum,
or oats. Other observations seem to
Indicate that roOt-rot in cotton is ap-
parently more troublesome In spring
plowed land than on fall-plowed land,
even when cotton is grown In rotation
with corn.
If further investigation proves the
observations that fall blowing re-
duces the injury caused by root-rot,
then we will have another and a very
important reason for fall blowing
where cotton land is infested with root
rot. Enough has already been demon
strated, however. to show the advan-
tages of fall blowing.

These are the questions that every

las. These questions and many others
are satisfactorily answered In "The

the soil areas of the state and tells
what the contents Of the soil are and

this season they have been bought for
2k cents a pound, cheaper than the
native potato just at this time. Wash
and dry the potatoes, place them In q
hole In a bank of ashes, cover, and
then place a shovelful of fine Goals
over the ashes. When the potatoes are
done. serve with butter.
Fried Sweet Potatoes.-Peel and
slice the potatoes rather thick, sprinkle
with salt. then pour hot water over
them and let them stand few min
utes before beginning TO fry. Now put
them, two layers at a time, In an iron
frying pan with little hot fat which
is very hot before putting In the DO
tatoes. Cover and let stand until the
potatoes begin to soften. then put them
over the direct heat with the cover off
to brown. Drain on piece of paper,
put into dripping pan and keep them
hot until ready to serve.
Sliced Potato Pie.-Line an ordinary
granite baking dish four inches deep
with a biscuit crust, bottom and sides.
Slice ordinary potatoes One-fourth of
an inch in thickness, better not too
thin, and fill the pan fairly full, on
each slice place q good-siZed piece of
butter. sprinkle with granulated sugar,
and dust with nutmeg, adding a few
cloves here and there. When the pan
is nearly full, fill the spaces with wa
ter, and as II settles add little more
to barely cover the potatoes. On top
of the potatoes place the butter, place
in a moderate oven and cook until a
straw will pierce the potatoes, then
remove and put on latticed crust.
sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg and
bake until the crust is brown. This
is favorite dish with the old-time
Southerners.
Sweet potatoes baked and pressed
through a ricer are used In a steamed
pudding much as carrots are used.

kept in a poorly lighted, unclean and
fly-infested stable, or from a herd
which obtains it's chief sustenance
from q nearby stack of wheat straw.
Fortunately such conditions are rapid
ly disappearing and in some localities
have entirely disappeared.
Dairyman's Problem.
Economy of production, however. Is
only half Of the dairyman's problem.
The truly efficient manager Of q dairy
farm must furnish first-class product,
then he must go a step further and
get n price that corresponds to the
quality of the article produced. High
testing milk should bring q higher
price than low-testing milk, and it is
not good policy to sell the former at a
fiat rate per hundred pounds, regard
less Of quality. High-grade dairy prod
uctS should always command a price
in accordance with their quality.
If dairyman's business is well con-
Quoted 1t becomes highly interesting
and fairly profitable. The successful
dairyman drives his business, the bust
ness does not drive him; he does not
merely keep cows, but makes the cows
keep him. Such a dairyman may be
expected to manage his farm so that
he and his family can get pleasure and
profit therefrom.

NEGLECT OF THE PERSIMMON
Mistaken Idea to Think That Fruit Is
Not Edible Until Touched by
Frost-Much Is Lost.

One reason for the neglect of the
persimmons as a fruit is the mistaken
idea that it is unfit to eat until touched
by frost. AS a matter of fact much
of the best fruit is lost each year, be-
cause it ripens and falls to the ground
where, not being touched by frost, it
is left to rot.
Such persimmons as are not edible
before frost comes are a late variety,
and the reason that they quicker the
mouth is because they have not yet
ripened. In general, the best fruits are
those that ripen just before the leaves
fall.
