To the TeaChe rs of
Shenandoah COUNTY

At meeting of the County School
Board Monday thorough study of the
finances of the Board was made, and
owing to the fact that the Board is
facing deficit, it was ordered that one
week be cut from the terms of all
schools in the County except the high
school departments. This order will
reduce the term in the grades of the
six large high schools and the three
smaller ones from 100 days to IT'S days
and in the rural schools from 140 to
135 days.
Recently you received a notice that
this action would not be necessary.
But because of the fact that at this
season there are many bills for fuel,
supplies and repairs outstanding the
Board has not been able earlier to
estimate with any degree OF accuracy,
its deficit at the end of this year.
If community should decide to
continue its school to the end of the
term contracted for, by private SUBJ
scription you would include these five
days on your TERM REPORT, but not
on your monthly report.
The County School Board regrets
very much that this step is necessary
but they have taken a definite stand
that they will not create an indebted
ness for operating expenses. Con-
sequently they will run the schools as
far as the funds in hand will permit.
The County School Board at its meet
ing Monday completed its estimates
which will be placed in the hands of
the supervisors this week. The School
Board is asking for an operating levy
OF Is cents. This levy if granted, by
the Board of Supervisors will run the
schools full term and will permit of
an additional two or three weeks in a
limited number of rural schools in the
county where such extension is de-
sired. 1t will also take care of needed
repairs and three or four additional
teachers in schools where they are
badly needed.
The Board of Supervisors meets on
April 9, to make the levies. 1t is for
the people, through their represent
atives on this Board, to say if they
wish their children properly cared for
SO far as educational opportunities
are concerned.
Very respectfully submitted,
C. v. SHOEMAKER,
Div. Supt. of Sc hools.

Many Tourists EXPECTED

Vernal frigidity has prevented
the early tourist travel through
the Shenandoah Valley, though
a limited number of foreign cars
are passing along the historic
turnpike even in the face frosty
weather. The rising temper
ature which began on Monday
will increase motor travel gradu-
ally until the peak of traffic
comes in midsummer, and all
signs point to the largest tourist
travel in the valley in its history.
Railroads and steamship lines
in addition to the automobile
association are flooding the coru-
try with descriptive literature
directing the attention of trav-
elers to the incompatible scenic
beauty and picturesqueness of
this historic section and thous-
ands of visitors will come here
this summer to see nature at its
best.
In order to care for these Wis.,
itors so that they may take away
a favorable and lasting impress
sion not only of the County but
of the people, it should be the
pleasant privilege of every citizen
to be courteous and hospitable to
the stranger within the gates,
and to show tourists that valley
folks have a welcome for citi.
zens from other States.
The greatest natural attrac.
ton in Shenandoah county fol
the coming thousands are the
Shenandoah Caverns, located
midway between Mt. Jackson ant
New Market, on the Southern
railway and the Valley Turn
pike. Not only are these marvel
Gus caverns the county's great

Increased Interest
In Pure-Bred-Sires

More than $500 farmers since
the last census have placed their
breeding operations on a strictly
pure-bred-sire basis and are
following methods leading to
further improvement, records of
the United States Department of
Agriculture show. This has been
approximately q development Of
three years. At the present
rates of enrolment the num-
bers will pass the 10000
mark within the next 3 months.
This numbers of livestock
owners represents the ownership
of more than one million head
of stock, all of which is improve
ing by the use of purebred sires.
An additional requirement for
enrolment in the campaign is
that sires must be of good quality
in addition to being pure bread.
The department issues an
attractive emblem of recognition
to livestock owners who cooper
ate in this activity.

Planting Potatoes Before
Corn Gives Better Yield

Planting potatoes after the
corn has been put in. a practice
followed by many Corn-BeIt
farmers. does not produce the
best results, according to a five
year experiment conducted coop.
erativelY by the United States
Department of Agriculture and
The Iowa Experiment Station.
The fact that the minimum
growing temperature for potatoes
is fully 10 degrees lower than for
corn would make the reverse of
this practice seem advisable, and
yields for paintings made on
various dates from early April to
the middle of June have proved
this contention to be sound. The
early planting also has the adj
vantage of an early fall market
when prices usually are better
than little later when mark
citing is in full swing.
In this experiment the Rural
New Yorker variety was used
and the dates of planting were
set at Today intervals. beginning
April 10. The seasonal rise in
temperature reaches the 40-degree
line in central Iowa usually
little before the middle of April
The best yields were obtained
from paintings made shortly
after the temperature passed the
40 degree line. Paintings made
after the middle of May produced
a successive decline in yield, and
between the first and last plan
tings there was a spread of 65
bushels an acre. The averae e
for the five years for the April
planting was 124.4 bushels and
for the paintings made the first
half of June 1872 bushels per
acre,
