SOWING OATS FOR HAY.

Where clover meadows have been
damaged by winter killing and an
extra crop of hay is desired, oats is
one of the best temporary hay crops,
Oats and field peas are sometimes
planted together and produce hay of
an excellent quality, the peas raising
the protein content Of the mixture.
When planted together, 2 bushels of
oats and 2 pecks of peas make good
combination. The rank growing vari-
eties of oats, such as Silver, Mine,
Swedish Select and side oats sown at
the rate of 8 bushels to the acre make
a large yield.
Oats seem to make the best hay
when cut just as it is coming into the
dough stage. The crop can be cured
more easily if allowed to get ripper
although the straw will not be so
salatable. When cut in the dough
stage, just as the lower leaves are
turning yellow, yields Of 2 tons to the
acre can be secured.

ATTENDANCE
AT FARMERS INSTITUTES

Farmers institutes during the sea-
son just closed showed an-increase in
attendance of 2,123 over that Of last
year. The total attendance at all ses-
sions for the 423 state-aid institutes
held during the season of 1867 was
Ale, ,185, while the total attendance of
last year was 412;062 for A21 insti-
tutes. The increase in attendance is
the first that has been recorded in sew
eral years, as the tendency has been
toward a slight annual falling off. The
average attendance per- session during
the recent season was 1856.
The institute having the largest at
tendance was that held at Tifin with
an average of 523 per session or a
total of 2,615. Tiffin thus retains the
distinction which it has enjoyed for
several years in being the record
breaking institute point. With d
total attendance of 9,12O, Seneca
county holds first place among the
counties. Hancock county ranks sec
ond with an attendance Of $50 and
Crawford county third with 8,340.

the three counties.
Extension schools, or weeks courses
in agriculture and home economics,
were held at 96 points. The school
at New Knoxville had the banner at
tendance with an average of 1859 per-
sons at each days session. Cortland,
Trumbull county, ranked second with
155; and Ridgeway, Hardin county,
third with 142.

STARTING THE ENGINE

By turning over the motor in an
automobile a few times with the
switch off, the air in the cylinders is
expelled and a thin mixture Of air and
gasoline inhaled in its place. Flood
ing then gives a temporarily rich
mixture in the cylinder and the engine
will start at the first trial Much Of
the starting trouble Of autos is
avoided by professional drivers in
using this method. In addition, the
electric starter is never overtaxed.

SCHOOL OPENS NEXT MONDAY

We wish to announce through the

confidently recommend to you and ask
that the patrons give to them your
every support and cooperation, be-
cause it is by a united cooperation on
the part of patron and teacher that
We can make a success of our schools.
We have reputation for good schools
and we not only want to maintain this
reputation, be We want to make it
better and better as the years go by.
Your board Of education recognizes
the fact that our boys and girls are
entitled to the very best in the way of
educational and moral training and
TO that end we are striving. As you
all are aware our finances are limited
and will be for an other and to enable
us to meet our maturing bonds and in
terest each year we have had to
charge a small incidental fee at our
High School and realizing the high
cost Of living we have decided to re
duce the charge to each scholar of the
district from what it was last session
and the charge will be $3.50 each,
payable in advance. We wish also to
call your attention to the fact that we
have a compulsory school law that
makes it the duty of parents or
guardians to compel their children
to start to school within two weeks
after school opens and that they must
attend at least three-fourth of the
entire session unless they are ex-
empted by the county Superintendent
Parents or guardians take notice
that you are subject to arrest and
fine if you fail to send your children
as above stated. We ask the pa
irons to visit the school and see for
yourselves what is being done and

Explosion at Mare Island Navy Yard
In California

Washington, Aug. 25.-The explos-
ion at Mare Island Navy Yard in
July, killing five and injuring more
than 80 is pronounced in an official
report made public today by Secre-
tary Daniels, to have been the DELHI
crate act of some one unknown and
not an accident
Secretary Daniels today made pub
lie a synopsis of the report made
after investigation by the bureaus of
judge advocate general of the navy.
All those branches of the service
agreed that there had been no "hamp-
ering instructions or restrictive direc-
tons of the method Of investigation"
The navy department tonight made

Island:

STILL HERE
Company A Was Not Moved To Lit
tie Rock AS Was Expected

When The News went to press last
week it was the general opinion that
by this time Co. A would be in camp
at Fort Roots, Little Rock. Military
orders are subject to change at any
moment, however, and the boys are
still in Springdale. How long they
will be here is matter of guess work.
Information was received latter part
of last week that the company would
not be moved before September S, and
they will be here few days longer at
least. Their delay in leaving is said
to be due to the fact that their equip
ment has not vet reached Little Rock.
Some of the men have been suffer
ing as a result of the recent vacci-
nation, but all are now coming around
nicely and good work mas been ac-
complished in drilling during the
past week. Probably the event of
the week was the visit of Col. Henry
Stroup on Tuesday. In company
with Regimental Adjutant, Capt. Ell
gan c. Robertson and Lieut.. Col.
W. G. OWnbey, an inspection was
made of this company, Co. B at Fay
etteville and Co II of Bentonville.
1t will be source of qualification to
Springdale people to know that Co. a
put up the best drill of any of the
three companies.
Lieut.. Col Ownbey has received
orders TO muster these three compa-
MES for pay o-day-August 81
and it is not anticipated that there
will be many absentees when the
roll is called. The muster for pay
does not mean that the men are paid
at that time, bat the pay roll IS made
!. out and sent to headquarters and
payment is made later If man is
not present to answer when tie roll
is called he is passed over until next
month.
Orders have been received during
the past week assigning to the com
pany as privates all men held on the
reserve list. Some of the men were
non-commissioned officers when placed
on the reserves, and while they are
required to come back as privates
their previous experience prepares
them for early promotion in case of
vacancies occurring. Company or
der was issued Tuesday designating
Garland Graham as Top Sergeant.
The members of Co. A are planning
to put on an entertainment at the
Auditorium one night next week for
the benefit of the mess fund, and a
