His grave was banked with flowers, silent tokens of the love and es teem in which he was held by fond relatives and friends. Irish Potatoes: 1 have receive ed several inquiries lately in re gard to fertiliz ng this crop and the following is the recommen dations of the college in a con densed form. They advise a fertilizer analy zing about 7-5-6 and from 1800 to 2000 pounds per acre. They say get all potash from either muriate or sulphate of potash as kainit may injure the stand. Have half the ammonia from a standard organic source such as cotton seal meal, fish scrap or tankage. Such a fertilizer as they advise could be made as fol lows: 800 pounds of acid phos phate, 700 pounds of cotton seed meal, 220 pounds of muriate of potash and 290 pounds of nitrate of soda. Be sure and have fer tilizer well mixed with the soil or the stand wijl certainly be in jured, Do not cut seed pieces too small. Tests indicate that a piece weighing about li ounces is about right. Seed should be treated for disease. I will supply instructions for those that wish to do this. Cotton Seed: I have a ship ment of Wannamaker Cleveland pedigreed cotton seed that will arrive in Seaboard about the twentieth They will ^ost $2 a bushel delivered See me at once and reserve what you need Pasture Grass Seed: Carpet grass is now selling at 10 cents' a pound, the cheapest price we have had in years. Get started with it this spring. Hog Cholera: Do not delay about having hogs vaccinated for cholera. As soon as I locate fifty more hogs for vaccination I will come with a Veterinarian. It is cheapest while the hogs are small and almost too late once cholera gets among your hogs. One man at Jackson has lost thirty out of forty although he gave serum alone after they were found sick. One hog would have paid for vaccinating all forty. The thirty lost would have probably sold for $300. E. P. Gulledge, County Agent.

School Bond Matter Again Postponed The county governing boards met in Jackson last Monday to consider the school bond propoi sition, but action was again post poned to the first Monday in April. A delegation went to Raleigh last week to see if the $80,000, for which it was pro posed to issue bonds, oould be borrowed from the State, but were informed it could not be done, that the county already had its full share of State funds. There appears to be consider able dissatisfaction oyer the pre sent school situation, brought about by consolidation. Before that action was taken this paper expressed fear of progressing too fast, faster than would be ap proved by public sentiment.
