Next Tuesday is Primary Election
hay. All should make an effort to
get out and vote on that day. There
is 40 contest in this county save for
the office of Register of Deeds on the
Democratic tiaket. About the only
contest of interest on the Republican
side is that of President, and there
are some four or five candidates on
the Republican ticket seeking the ell
dorsement of this state. The con
test however seems to be between
Wood and Lowden. There is also a
contest between McMasters and
Richards for the nomination of Gov
ernor, but the indications are that
the contests will prove to be rather
n sided affairs. The ladies' are en-
titled to vote at the primaries this
time and it is to be hoped that they
will pretty generally exercise the
right of their new acknowledgements
next Tuesday.
We have been having raw March
winds this week in alopathic doses.

The matter of supplying qualified
school teachers for the schools Of tins
county has been more or less of a
problem ever since the county has
been opened up for s ttlement. The
problem has been growing more ser
every year. We are told that a
lew which forbids the County
Superintendent issuing temporary
permits to prospective teachers goes
into effect next June, and this will
lend to make the matter Of securing
teachers for our schools the most diff
ieult problem that our school boards
will be called upon to solve. The
shortage of teachers is really serious.
Many are teaching on permits in the
at this time and thus supply
ng many schools with teachers which
lnder the new law, were it in effect
would have to be closed.

est Service man, from whom the re- quest for help came.
 The Forest Service agreed to make an appraisal of the timber and to assist in drawing up a contract and sale conditions. The appraisal was made last spring and a price fixed of about $3.50 per thousand feet. AL though the land is we'll adapted to agriculture, it will not be possible for the owners to put all of 1t into cultivation for a number of years. Consequently it is to their advan- tage to devote it to growing timber until such time as it is needed for raising crops. The stand consists of yellow pine of a good quality and contains a large number of trees just below merchantable size which will make rapid growth when the old timber is removed. It is distinctly a case where it will pay the farmers to grow trees. These facts were ex- plained to the members of the asso- citation and they quickly saw the ad- vantage of handling the forest in the manner recommended. In order to save the young growth they agreed to sacrifice 30 cents per thou sand on the stumpage price.
 Farmers in general who own small bodies of timber will find it profitable to cooperate with their neighbors in marketing theri grown timber. In many cases the individual amounts are too small, as in the above in- stance, to make it profitable for their owners to advertise for bids or for

 Fowls to be used at home may be killed more easily by chopping off their heads. The fowls may be either dry picked or scalded. Dry picking makes a better-appearing market fowl, but scalding, which is easier, is often preferred, if the bird is for home use. Dry picking should be done immediately after the bird is killed, as the feathers then come out more easily. Be careful not to tear the skin. For scalding, use water heated just below the boiling point, immersing the fowl two or three times, or until the feathers pull off easily, but do not leave it in so long that the skin scalds. f .-o--
 Cool the fowls after they are picked, either by hanging them up Tn a cool place or soaking them in cold or iced water. Fowls for mar ket are usually sold undrawn, but for home or local use they may be drawn by removing the crop through an opening made in the skin of the

Storing Late Vegetables

The storing of late vegetables is often profitable for those who grow them in sufficient quantities for mar keting, giving the grower the direct benefit of the winter price. To care for the surplus vegetables in many cases requires nothing more than the use of existing facilities in or near the home When considerable quan- titles of vegetables are to be stored, it is frequently advisable to con- struct permanent storage facilities in the form of storage room in the basement of a dwelling or under an outbuilding or to build an outdoor cellar of wood or masonry. If per- manent facilities are not available, late root crops can be kept in out door pits or banks, requiring no cash outlay except for labor.

Careful Cutting of Timber

 With the help of the Forest Ser vice and the county agent, number of farmers who live in Hangmau Valley, Wash, just north of the Paloues Division of the St. Joe For est, are cooperating this year in the sale of about 30O,0OO,OO0 feet of timber.
 Last fall the Forest Service was requested to aid these farmers in disposing of a considerable amount of timber in their claims. It develop c.red that there were approximately 200 settlers who owned about 300,- 900, ,OO0 feet of timber which they desired to dispose of as unit in order to attract some company cap able of handling the entire proposi- tion. They were, however, unable to agree upon a satisfactory price. The project had been worked up by the local county agent, former For
