from her report on this subject.
Il have done some construction
work in the schools of Union coun-
ty. The schools buildings were in
very poor condition. poorly equipped
and the teachers were young with
no training. l found not a standard
school in the county. [ have visited
" number of times most of the
schools, helped the teachers to beau
tify the grounds, oil the floors, put
curtains to the windows and flower
boxes in the windows, make sand
ktables and to improve their meth
DDS of teaching. For one school we
bought patent desks. good black
boards, maps curtains for windows
window boxes for flowers, oiled the
floor, started a library, built an eX7
ira room, remodeled the old one,
built toilets, and put in individual
drinking cups. We have individual
drinking cups in number of
schools this summer. In two schools
have the girls doing simple sew

flower garden in Blairsville on the

buy? What fertilizer should 1 use on
peanuts:
IN our experience the use of irocu-

legumes like peanuts has not proven
sufficiently profitable to Justify us
in recommending it's use. I9oculat-

fact that the peanut being d
