LOCAL FARMERS TO
MAKE OUT SHEETS

According to R. T. Grant, County
Agent for Worcester, all county farm
ers who are diverting some of their
truck and soil depicting crop acreage
from 1885 to soil conserving crops in
1886, should be sure to make out
work sheet when they are received
at the County Agents office. These
are expected within the next two
weeks.
Meetings will be held at different
places in the county, which will be
announced later, in order to give the
farmers an opportunity to make out
their individual work sheets.
In cases where the soil depicting
acreage this year is the same as last
year, but where farmers have planted
considerable legumes for pasture and
hay, they will receive payment of
81 per acre for this.
1t is expected that quite large
number of farmers will take part in
the new program in Worcester Coun-
ty.
For further information farmers
are advised to get in touch with the
County Agent.

Havana Telephone installa-
lions showed substantial increases
with 37,943 telephones in operation at
the end Of 1885 as compared with
1850 the previous year, Assistant
Commercial Attache Charles H. Du-
cote, Of the U. s. Department Of Com
merce, reported. Long distance tele-
phone service between Havana and the

including the conversion Of the tele-
phone plant to dial operation, are
under way and according to present
plans dial exchanges will be in opera
ton throughout this section by the
end Of 1889.
South Africa is now served by about
$4,000 telephones. Telephones in the
Union of South Africa became avail
able for connection with the inter-

the United States, Canada, Cuba and
