CITY SAND HAULER DOES

Yesterday nine loads of sand were
hauled on Main street by the truck
driven by Ed Dye and assisted by
Street Commissioner Tom Parker
Each load contained three yards of
sand. This means that 27 yards OF
sand We're hauled b ythe truck in one
day. The average team could haul
about three yards a day. and not owe:
four at the most. 1t is apparent ina,
il would take at least seven days for

day and possibly it would take nine
days.
IL was estimated before the pur
chase was made that the truck could
haul but six loads day The very
first day the truck went three loads
over the estimate and it stands to
reason that this total can be in.

THE IRRIGATION OF
GREENWOOD CEMETERY

II is important. IL seems to me. to
those Interested in the growing Of
shrubbeIy and Towering plants in
Greenwood cemetery to study the ef-
fccts of irrigation there during the
past summer. Those who have
tempted the adornment of their burial
plats in Greenwood cemetery BY the
growing OF grass. ornamental plants
and flowers this year have been
measurably succe sful and have
proved what may be accomplished in
that lire by proper effort. The soil.
thai had long remained dry and
parched. when dug deeply, exposed TO
the air and prepared for the sermins-
tion of seeds produced well where wa
ter was freely applied.
Shrubs and flowers set out where
the ground was properly cultivated
and watered have thriven well this
year. as can be seen near the middle
gates of the cemetery The expert
ments OF the summer have proven
that the soil is fertile and well adapt
ed to the growing OF vegetation. aitho
a little coating OF fertilizer as a mulch
will help to make the mineral proper
ties of the longtime dormant soil act
i've and productive.
Now that the water is TO be had il is
the duty of US who se concerned in
Greenwood 20 work vigorously To
make the oldest city OF the dead in
the community approximate in the
beauty OF its bloom and ycrdurc the
city of the living. Our farmerS and
gardeners all know. that. even In the
case of ground long cultivated. piow
ing deep and irrigating late in the fall
causes the soil TO alternately freeze

crop the following season.
The burial plats in Greenwood Gem.
etery are but ten by fifteen. or hfteen
by thirty feet. in size and can easily
be made beautiful by the growing OF
vegetation on them. There is plenty
of time yet this autumn for all to pre-.
