JUNIOR HIGH

It has become so generally an
American habit to criticize the hold
ers Of public office, both for what
they do and for what they do not do,
that it Is pleasure to be able to
call attention to an Official act which
should meet with the commendation
Of the public.
As this paper has observed before,
Grants Pass has a good school sys-
tenn. II is a possession which peo-
pie hold guard jealousy. More than
any other thing. save perhaps the
climate over which mere humans
have no control, it means a fine
place for homes.
Schools, to maintain a high stan
dard OF excellence. must grow; must
progress. Experience always be
gets innovations. People who OBJ
serve and really strive for the best,
never cease to learn; and it is the
part Of wisdom to apply the lessons
SO learned to betterment Of condi-
tions. However good the local
schools may be, there is always room
for the next batter thing. as soon as
actual experience and we'll tried ap-
plication has proven its real worth.
And wise school administration
holds itself ready and anxious to
adopt such new arrangement.
Such is true Of the so-called

Proper Food For Weak Stomachs.

The proper food for one man may be all wrong for another. Every one should adopt a diet suited to his age and occupation.
 Those who have weak stomachs need to be especially careful and should eat slowly and masticate their food thoroughly. It is also important that they keep their bowels regular. When they be- come constipated ol when they feel dull and stupid after eating,
 they should take Chamberlain s Tahlets to strengthen the stomach and move the bowels. They are easy to take and pleasant in eff feet. Adv.

Messrs P. P. Rencher, A. w.
 Crosby, Henry Slade and w. w.
 Edgar were in our city last
 Thursday for the purpose of be-
 ing present at the auction sale held on that day. They were in- terested in some land that was for sale by the state as also were some of our citizens here in St. Johns. The land was all sold at the appraised value. While here some of these gentlemen from Edgar called to visit with the Herald force for short time and while visiting they told us that considerable wheat and other cereals and potatoes would be planted at Round Valley this year which is indeed good news to everybody in this land. The Edgar Ditch Company have had considerable expense on their irrigation canal this spring. hav- ing to make a cut through the side of the mountain that cost about S12OO.
 Edgar and Springerville have had sOme difficulties over water distribution already this year. Last Friday the parties appealed to Judge Crosby to appoint a wa ter commissioner under the terms of Judge Perkins decree 1914. The judge appointed John Earl, Sr. and instructed him to stop all the reservoirs from storing any more water and to measure out the natural flow of the river to all parties on the basis of one miners inch to each one and a half acres of land.

Under a decision of the local superior court here the board of supervisors a t their monthly meeting began to pay the present officials the enlarged salaries as they existed in territorial days and under the laws ef 1901 and amendments. Judge Crosby ren- dered the controlling decision last Saturday in Miss Lytle's suit against the county for her larger salary for January, February and March salary installments.
 The suit of Treasurer, Joe Bur gess for back salary for the years 1915-16 was decided at the same time. MT. Burgess sued for $1400 alleging that his legal salary was $22C0 per year instead of $500 which the county had paid him. The court decided that S2200 was the salary but that because of the one year bar limitation which At torney A. s. Gibbons pleaded in the case all but ten and a half months of it was barred. So the court gave the treasurer judg- ment for $612.5O Attorney F. w. Nelson gave notice of appeal to the superior court from the courts decision in the Burgess case. The board of supervisors have now paid the former officials for the ten and a half months under the court S ruling in the Burgess. case.

PLANTING CORN FOR
MAKING ENSILAGE
Crop Should Be Sown Thick and
Fertilized With Big Yield in
Wow.

Clemson College, S. C.-No state
in the Union can grow better ensil-
age than South Carolina. It is now
high time for every farmer who ex-
poets to build and fill silo this fall
or who has already built a silo, to
put in his silage corn if he has not
yet done so.
Though sorghum, cowpeas and a
few other crops may be used with
success for silage, the South Caro-
lima farmer will do well, for the
present at any rate, to be content
with corn. The land should be rich
in nitrogen to porduce fine ensilage
corn.
Corn for silage should be planted
on a fertile soil. Since it is desired
to make. a heavy growth, the land
should be rich in nitrogen and hu-
mus. A good plan is to plant the
corn on land where. leguminous
cover crop has been turned under.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1917-04-11

Otherwise a heavy application of
nitrate of soda is advised at the
time of planting as stalk growth is
the chief object in this crop for en-
silage.
The corn should be sown thicker
than when planted for ordinary pul'-
poses. A prolific variety should be
used.
Ten acres of good land ought to
yield enough silage to support 20
cows during the winter feeding
period. ,
Experiments have demonstrated
that an acre of corn can be placed
in the silo at a very low cost, and
that given amount of corn in the
form of silage will produce more
milk than the same amount when
shocked and dried. It has been
found by innumerable tests that
silage is the best and cheapest form
in which one can provide succulent
feed for winter use.

WIDE-AWAKE CITIZENS.

The business men Of Due West,
who advertised in last weeks issue
Of this paper urging the farmers Of
Abbeville county, to plant food
crops, and, to prepare for = great
scarcity Of these crops in tho next
twelve months, and who offered to
sell seeds for the cost price in order
to induce tho people to prepare for
. day Of trouble, have the welfare
Of the country at heart no less than
the welfare Of the individual farm
ers whom they would help. They
deserve the commentator of right
thinking citizens everywhere.
And the advice which they give is
but in line with what this paper has
been urging upon its readers for
nearly sixty days. It il in line with
the urgent calls of the government
made through the Secretary Of Ag-
riculture. Reports even now are of
a short crop Of winter wheat, and
prices of wheat and of corn as well
are soaring.
It will profit the farmers of the
county and of the state nothing to
plant all cotton, even If they get a
big price for it, when the certainty
of high priced corn and flour is star
ing them in the face for the next
year or two. The man who is look
ing ahead will heed the warning
which is being sounded all over the
country, by the government, by the
press, and by forward-looking men
everywhere.
It is still time to plant a little
more corn and little less cotton.
