Garden Notes

No general rains have fallen over
this section yet and gardening in q gen.
eral way for fall is useless without such
rain. We had fair season here in
Somerville last Thursday and the writer
had his ground ready and planted tur-
nips. q mixture of ruta bsgs, seven
tops and flat dutch, and they are up to
q fine stand-if they just survive the
heat of these August days. September
is a better month to plant, but we
took advantage of the season we had.
and if September is favorable we will
plant more.
Three questions as to how late Eng
lish peas can be planted for fall crop
we have answered that up to 5th or
10th OF September. Seed will hardly
germinate with present moisture sup
ply and we would wait till it rains.
The same can be said of beets, parsnips.
carrots, lettuce, in fact most things
grown in fall garden. :
Bunch beans planted at once have ev
cry chance of giving snaps before frost.
They will come 10 about six weeks from
planting, and we could hardly look for
frOst IN saat time.
Celery is having les Asual hard time
living through the summer dry sped.
We have lost few buaehes, but have
fair stand yet. 1t has been thus each
year for four or five now md the eel
cry has been poor and email. 1t is the
best to be had when there is moisture
enough to grow it. -
The late potato patch should be
worked over and over whether potatoes
are up or not. Weeds and grass must
be kept down and the moisture is con-
served by repeated workings. Stands
OF the Lookout Mountains are said to
be fair, Triumphs are not yet coming
mp.
Friday morning after the Thursday
shower we planted roasting ears.
bunch beans and pole beans and they
are coming up nicely. We expect them
to give US good crop before Jack
Frost visits these parts.

or anv other of the heading varieties
and plant when the next season is in
the ground. When plants are three or
four inches high transplant eight inches
apart. Lettuce will not head when
plants are too thick.

The top and trunk of almost any tree

Special Examination For Teachers

Because of the scarcity Of teachers
thruout the state for the public schoo !
State Supt. Albert Williams has ordered
a special examination for all who de-
sire TO take it on September 5 and s
Friday and Saturday. The examination
will be held in Somerville on those days
and those who want to teach and have
not taken the examination will have
an opportunity at that time.

More About Roads

As an operator of one of the county
tractors feel it my duty to answer a
few statements of DIR. Albright's
which appeared in the Falcon recently.
Let's take up the work that tractor
No. has done. We started ut the
county line between Piper's and Col
lierville about the Goth of Nav. We
have workedfrom there to Moscow, also
five roads that lead from the state line.
road to Mississippi. one called the Hays
Crossing road leading north from the
state line, then from Rossvile to Ma.
con, then 10 the Shelby county line,
and are now al. this writing August II
three miles unt from Macon on the
Williston road. Now tnat is the gra-
ding that has been done besides the
dragging. In all that work this ma
chine has not been delayed more than
one week for repairs. Neither has it
been delayed on account Of rainy wealth
er.
DR.. Albright says that the men on
the tractors are not capable, that they
only know to put the dit to the C, nter
of the road. that they do not cut the
bitches deep enough, aud where there
is ditch they skip and do nothing and
turn the water to fhe road at all brid-
yes. Now, DR.. Albright, lido not know
whst others are doin@ but If you viii
come down here and watch this machine
work we will show you how to cut the
bitches. how to widen the reAd when
the ditch is already too close TO the
road. You also say that the men do
not put in over five hours a day. This
is not true with this crew. We often
put in II hours and ifytu do not bekeve
this. can prove it. We often work
uGtil seven O'Clock finishing a piece of
road that has been started. We are
slljwed one hour for dinner and never
take more than thirty minutes, most OF
the time not mere than fifteen.
Now Doctor this machine has to be
oiled. How long could you run your
car wthoat oling it? should like to
see you hire any one to work on any
public work for IA hours a day. The
law only requires eight. In regard to
the men staying with the machines. how
do you think they could run without
gasoline and oil? Some one else would
have to be employed to bring this ev-
cry morning as we cant possibly keep
it up with.us. AS 20 the Ford we have
only lost two half days repairing it
We do that on afternoons after we
have quit or on Sundays.
Now, | can't say for the other ma
chimes or their crews but you have mis-
represented US and If you will come
down and watch US work for a while
you will see for yourself. am not a.
shamed of what has been done on the
roads, my work stands for itself.

An old coffee pot or any convenient

the poison into the cut place. How

poison might try an interesting ex'

preparation has been used.
