They started to plowing last week.
Some of them began on high places
on Monday, and later they went lit
tie further and little further until
before the end Of the week they were
plowing all over the county. 1t was
q little heavy at first. little too heavy,
in many places; but they would not
wait. They argue that If you do not
begin a little wet, you will wind up
little dry, and on that theory theykept
right at it. It is not practicable to
say lust now what they are going to
do, how much fertilizer they are go
ing to use, and how much they are 60
ing to plant in cotton but one thing
is reasonably certain and that Is that
farming operations this year are going
to be as extensive as they haveSever
been.
Quite a funny little situation occur
red In connection with the nitrate OF
soda this year. Last year the orders
for government nitrate were taken
with the understanding that there Wes
not enough nitrate to meet all re-
ouirements, the supply would be pro
rated so as to give each applicant a
fair proportion. Each applicant asked
for exactly what he wanted, and as
there was not enough to go around
the applicants had to do with nan
or three quarters Of what they want
ed. This year a good many applicants
applied for twice as much as tney
wanted, and as there was plenty OF nj
trate, each one is getting all he ap-
piled for. But this has caused no es-
pecial embarrassment, for as usual
there are many who failed to put In
applications and there has been no
trouble in disposing Of the surplus.
People will begin rising an hour
earlier next Sunday morning as the

at that time. The exact hour for turn
ing forward the hands Of the CLOCK ls

law that at the hour of 2 o'clock in the
morning of Sunday, March 80, 1872

weeks past will find on arising at those
hours next week, II they obey the law
and move up the hands Of their CLOCKS

year. however. was that in the course
of two or three days the public became
accustomed to the new time and was
not aware that they were doing every
thing an hour earlier than usual.
