The number of people who
were looking for prospective
building sites in Linton Sunday
recalled forcibly the fact that
Linton stands to see the greatest
building boom in its history this
season. Already we know of
some half dozen proposed new
residences, and many farmers
from various parts of the county
have sienifled their intention of
providing at least their winter
residence in Linton after this
year.
There are many and varied
reasons why Linton should prove
an attractive location for people
from all parts of the county who
are so fixed financially that they
can afford to get away from Some
of the hardships of farm life and
to arrange for better living con-
ditions, especially during the
winter months. Every indica-
ton tends to show that the coun-
ty seat will be the largest town
in the county. Its variety of
stores and the reasonable prices
for the commodities of life ap-
peal strongly to those who are
looking for d town location. The
schools are the other most i'm
portant factor. Many of the
wealthy farmers will be looking
for a place in town so that the
children can have the better
school facilities. Linton now has
the best there is between Bis
marck and Aberdeen--and the
present schools are nothing COM
pared to those which will be
secured within a short time.
Architects are busy on plans
for a new school building at Lin
ton. A. N. Junee, president Of
the school board, informs the
writer that tentative plans have
been worked out for a fire.proo
addition to be about az by SO
with a full basement. This will
allow for five rooms additiona
and an up-to-date gymnasium ii
the basement. 1t is planned t,
have a stage at one end of tn
basement so that all the schoc
entertainments, etc, can be give
there.
The present faculty consists c
seven teachers employed all tn
time and music teacher VIII
devotes d part of her time
teaching music to the pupils
But the demands of the schot
are taxing the present facilitie
to the limit and another scho,
year must see some sort of an a,
dition and some time in the Fl
ture to pull down the prese1
structure and to complete tt
fire-proof structure.
In the near future the nece
sary election will be held to Dor
the district. 1t is intended
have the addition completed
time for use in the fall. Al
this question of school faciliti
will be the deciding factor
nearly every case where farme
are planning on retiring fro
their farm work and to provi,

TO HELP FARMERS FIND
BEST TIMBER MARKET

ATHENS, ia, March 29.-George y.
Lamb of the United States forest serI
ice is cooperating with the Georgia
state College of Agriculture in con-
Quoting a study Of the disposal of wood
lot products of Georgia farms. Mr.. LIANT
will spend two or three months visit
ing different parts of the state, inter
viewing owners of woodlots, managers
of handle factories, veneer mills, saw
mills, wagon stock factories, and coop
erage plants. The purpose is to bring
the farmer into closer touch with the
manufacturers of wood so that a ready
market may be found for timber at the
best possible price because Of the elimI-
nation OF the middle man."
The College of Agriculture through it's
school Of forestry is making survey
the results of which will be published
in a bulletin issued when the work is
completed which will probably be about
the first Of the coming year. The forest
school of the college is often in position
to put farmer and manufacturer in touch
with each other in the sale and valuable
timber of various kinds and in various
quantities.

Newspaper Proprietors' association Of
London as essential to the work Of pub

Art editors, photographers and dark

Sub-editors copy readers) were for
some unexplained reason considered

THE general principle to be follow

Many of the leading London papers
were careful to publish a notice read

INTEREST IN ORCHARDS
GROWING IN GEORGIA

ATHENS. Ca. March 29.-The Horti-
cultural department of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture reports
increased acreage set to peaches and ap-
plies in the state. New interest has de-
veloped in northwest Georgia where
many hundreds of acres have been
planted to peaches. That section was
formerly interested in peach orcharding
on a large scale before the problem of
marketing was as well solved as
now and before modern methods of
peach orcharding increased the profits.
The new interest ii is predicted will re-
suit in much gUSRter success than has
ever been attained in that section of the
state.
Interesting demonstrations in peaches
in the extreme southern part of the
state have been inaugurated. one being
with John F. Archibald, of Standard
OF fame, on a 75-acre orchard, L. G
Proctor being local county demonstra-
ton agent Another is being conduct
ed with T. II. Brown at Ambrose with
J. B. Eunice as county demonstration
agent.
