To Monroe County Farmers.

In planting our crop for the CON-
ing season it will doubtless be we'll
especially among the smaller farm
ers to consider the proposition of
safe farming
1t will be impossible for me to
see all the farmers and discuss these
matters with them before planting
time, but will outline some of the
work that the government has found
helpful in the boil weevil districts.
From the experience of other coun-
ties in the earlier infested areas of
the State. Monroe county is perhaps
facing the most critical year in her
economic development. This is es-
pecially true on account of the ex-
tremely high price of cotton and also
the shortage of feeds and foods.
It is not the policy of the govern
ment to discourage the planting Of
cotton but to lay special stress on
the growing Of feed for live stock
and food for the home. Some of the
things to consider in the safe farm
ing'' program are: A home garden
with fresh vegetables for the table
for . greater part Of the year. Plant
potatoes enough Of both sweet and
Irish to supply the family for the

The Impending Strike.

\ great railroad strike is inn
pending. What it pOrtends no
one at this time can conjecture.
What congestion of traffic and
decentralization of business it will
bring, if it is not averted,lis easily
estimated. This strike is SEIZED
uled to take place next Saturday.
Whether it does or not depends
upon the officials of the great
railroad systems of the country.
If they accede to the demands of
the railway workers in making
an eight hour day with time and
a half for over time. effective at
once. the question will be settled
for the time at least. Latest state
ments from railway officials in
dictate that the demands will not
be acceded to.
At this hour the strike seems to
be inevitable. The workers have
announced their ultimatum and
secret orders have been sent to
thirty eight of the principal rail-
way systems calling the strikers
out next Saturday.
This section will be first to feel
the shock of the interrupted traf-
fic, as the workers of railw avs
traversing this section are the
first called off. This strike COM
ing on the heels of the war ex-
element and preparedness ex-
penses is a calamity which veri-
flies the truth of the maxim, that
when misfortunes come, they
come so fast that they tread upon
one anOther'S heels"
The people of the United States
believe they have a Moses able to
lead them out of all their troubles.
This Moses they believe to be
President Wilson. They say he
has kept them out of war. They
believe he can deliver them from
the impending railway atrike.
We believe he can and we trust
that he may.

year. Plan now a patch for fall
Irish potatoes. Let every acre of
corn be planted to some legumes,
such as soy beans or velvet beans.
Install on each farm poultry and
pig departments sufficient to take
care of the meat and egg supply

the corn area planted to velvet beans
will take care of the cattle a greater
part of the winter, the other half
planted to soy beans will furnish
feed for fattening the meat supply

pare to live in case the cotton makes
an absolute failure. Granting that

Grand Jsry Report March Term.
To the Honorable Circuit Court Of

To the Honorable Circuit Court Of
Monroe county:
We, the grand jury of said county,
selected, empanelled and sworn for
the March term, 1917, to enquire
into violations of the law in said
county, and to examine into the af-
fairs of said county, beg to submit
this, our report:
The grand jury has been in session
Ave days, and has during that time,
heen busily engaged in Investigations
from =. M, until noon and from 80
p. M. to p. h. We have examined
SO witnesses. returned Is indictments
or true bills and have received and
approved the reports of all justices Of
the peace and mayors within the
county.
We haye examined the report of the
county auditor and the books of the
county officers relative to their cor
rectness. and for the purpose of as
pertaining if the funds of the county
We're being properly accounted for
and dlsbursed; and as far as We are
able to determine. the accounts and
books are correct and being properly
kept.
Agreeable to your Honor's charge,
we have through our committee ex-
amined and visited the county home,
which we find in excellent sanitary
condition, and also find the inmates
we'll provided for. Our committee
visited the hotels of more than two
stories in Aberdeen and found the
same equipped according to law. We
also find the Jail in good sanitary con-
dition, the prisoners hunanely and
properly cared for. and the grounds
about the Jail clean and properly kept.
This grand jury believes that crimes
in Monroe county are greatly on the
decrease. This statement from this
grand jury is borne out by the COM
parison of former grand jury reports.
the criminal court docket, by the COM
parisOn of former sheriff's feed bills
and the number of cases appealed from
the justice of the peace courts which
is decidedly noticeable. This cOndi-
ton is credit to the efforts of the
officers of the county to enforce the
law, and they should be highly COM
mended for this and encouraged by
the entire citizenship of the county.
for the saving in dollars and cents
means much to our people at this
time when the boil weevil situation is
in our midst rocking its havoc among
us; but the benefits to be derived from
better law enforcement means more
than dollars and cents to us, it means
better citizenship. it means a more
moral people, and is an influence that
is bound to be uplifting to each and
every community.
And now having completed our
work and concluded our investiga-
tions, we submit this our report, and
ask that we be discharged.
Respectfully submitted.
