Artificial Lighting of
Henh0,1se rs Permanent

The artificial lighting Of henhouses
has become permanent and popular
during the last few years. Contrary
to the first opinions of some people,
electric lights are not installed for the
purpose Of fooling the lens. The use
of lights merely endedv6rs TO aid in
duplicating spring conditions whereby
hens have more opportunity .sto con-
sumo large amount of feed and thus
have material in which to manufacture
large number of eggs. Lights in the
evening will give the hens less time
between the last evening meal and the
first one in the morning, so that the
crop never gets empty.

An Abbreyiation.

"Bim" was a colored lad who did
odd jobs about suburban neighbour

Hogs Show Good Profit
by Hogging Down Corn

Some practical feeders seem to ques-
tion the ACCESSIBILITY Of hogging down
corn at present prices, but plenty of
tests show that hogs give as much
profit when they are allowed to help
themselves as when the corn is fed
by hand-in fact, these same hogs will
show greater profit by hogging down
corn than digging 1t out Of muddy
1aad-lots.

Soil Prepared for Soy
Beans by Fall Flowing

Soil preparation for soy beans is the
same as for corn. Where it is advis-
able to pillow in the fall for corn. then
it is advisable to plow in the fall for
soy beans. The clay lands should be
fall plowed, and in the spring disked,
narrowed, and made smooth by the
drag and pIanker. For light, sandy
soils spring blowing is preferable. On
clay and sandy loan soils both spring
and fall blowing are equally saHnac-
tory.

Two Plants Practically
Alike Above the Ground

Sudan grass is sometimes mistaken
for johnson grass, as the two plants
are practically alike above the ground.
The Sudan seed. however, is a little
larger and plumper than the Johnson
grass seed And there is wide diff.
ference in the roots and the habits Of
growth of the two plants. Johnson
grass has underground running root.
stocks from which 1t grows from year
to year. Sudan grass, on the contrary,
has short, fibrous roots and grows only
one year. Therefore it never becomes
troublesome weed like Johnson
grass.

1t was his first great speech. and he

His Grafton was long and passionate,
and he wished to end 1t with warm

He could have cOuched his warning

stable door after the horse was stolen,
but that was too commonplace. He
wanted something original,
He thought of something better.

Jerome Bonaparte Left Bride.

Jerome 6onaparte Iere BTi0e.
Jerome Bonaparte married Elizabeth
Patterson, daughter of William Pat
terson, one of the leading citizens Of
Baltimore. The match was opposed
violently by Napoleon, .Jerome's broth
er, who was then first consul Of
France, says the Detroit News. Their
mother tried to aid Napoleon in his
effort to have jerome desert his wife.
Jerome refused to yield, and then Ma
poleon asked Pope Plus VII to publish
bull annulling the marriage. The
pope replied that after careful inves-
tigation he could find no grounds for
complying with the request of the EN-.
peror. Napoleon was furious and at
once instructed his imperial council of
state to declare the marriage null and
void, which that body obediently pro-
ceeded to do.
In the meantime Jerome Bonaparte
and his wife went to- Europe, but
Napoleon refused to see his brother.
Eventually Jerome yielded to the
stronger nature and shamefully de-
serted his bride.

REVISION Of STATE
SCHOOL SYSTEM IS
URGED BY BALLARD

A complete revision of Georgia S
public school system, designed to
place the financial support of
schools uopn the county in which
they are located, is the program of
N. Fl. Ballard, state superintendent
of schools. and as q first step In
that direction he is asking the gem
eral assembly to. provide for a thor
ough survey Of the system.
This survey would be conducted
by specialists provided by the
United States bureau of education,
according to Mr.. Ballard, and the
state only would be required to pay
their expenses while they were at
work. These experts, he continued,
would work in cooperation with the
legislative committees on education
and his department, their report be-
ing prepared for the next session of
the general assembly.
Under the superintendents pro-
posal, the chief support of the
schools would be placed upon the
counties in which they are located
The present funds derived for sup
port of the public school system
would be converted into an equalixa-
ton appropriation to be used to assist
weaker counties in bringing their
schools up to a fixed standard of a
nine months term.
A basic tax would be levied for ed.
ucationaI purposes in each county,
officials of the county collecting the
fund and devoting it to public school
purposes. In counties-chiefly the
smaller ones--where this basic tax
failed to raise sufficient funds to
support the schools nine months, the
state would render assistance from
its equalization appropriation.
At present, the chief support of
the public school system is upon the
state, some Of the counties voting
taxes to assist. AS a result of this
plan. said the superintendent, the
larger counties have made excellent
progress in developing their schools,
while the smaller and less wealthy
counties have failed to provide sur
ficient appropriations through taxes
to operate properly their particular
schools.
In North Carolina. the counties
levy an ad valorem tax for their
public schools, no tax of this kind
being levied for any state purpose.
In the weaker counties, the state
renders assistance with an egualiza-
ton fund. AS a result of this sys-
tenn, it is stated. remarkable prog.
ress has been made in development
OF public schools throughout the Tar
Heel state, where a twenty-million
dollar building program now is be-
ing completed by the state depart
ment of public instruction.
