In another part of the paper is such a list, and special care ha been taken to so compose this list that it will attract a great many small growers of dahlias I alreH I, the promise of twenty-five exhibitors for tne show this fall, who have never exhibited in this show Wr. this is a good numb, r to start with. Haywood county is so well fitte',1 summer to raise finu dahlias .kt ambition is to see dahlias grown in practically every yard in the county. Prices are now so verv cheap even in the fine varieites that there is no need for anyone to stand back on the price. For instance Jersey Beauty, which is one of the finest pinks, and which sold a few years ago for SI 5.00 each, is now sold at as low as 'Jo' cents each, and a number of other tine va rieties are being sold by reputable ueaieis at i.i cents to $1.00 each, A they multiply so freely, in a year or two there should be a great wealth of dahlias blooming all over the county. I have been asked to give some suggestions as to the preparation of the soil and the planting of dahlias Dahlias will grow most anywhere in tne county, but they are better if giv en special attention. In order to grow fine dahlias that will withstand any drought that may come alon.r, it is helpful to dig the holes wh 're you are to plant, eighteen inches deep and about two feet wide; nut a shovel full of barnyard manure in th bottom of this hole, fill in with Rood top soil and then plant the tuber about four to six inches deep. After it comes up allow only one main stalk to grow and keep the ground well cultivated, never allowing the soil to become baked around the plant, l'lant the bulbs from three to four feet apart to give plenty of room for la rw bushes to grow. I would suggest no ferterlizer except the manure mentioned where the roots will get it after thev have! grown down to it, but after thev com mence blooming, an appiicaioi l commercial lertili.er about 1 hand ful to each plant every two weeks will help very much in getting largi r blooms and keeping up tlv vitality of the plant until frost. no sure to staiie tne si.iik and .-tcip the plant tied up to this : ; ;he strong winds we have in Haywood county sometimes otherwise will buviw over the bushes and possibly break off the bloonis. I hope that hundreds will decide to make even a small exhibit .at the show i his fall, even one vase will .he'o cut. 1 would- suggest that you -i-Avt-i good varieities that have proven suc cessful for others, as it takes no more time and work to raise -'line dahlias than cheap ones. Hoping that a great many will talk and work -for a big Dahlia Show this fall and thereby help out the u, ,. ,..,, ...,,..,., f ' l vase basket of j(lu, ...Home of the-Dahlia."

CHICAGO has jumped Into a long lead over other cities in the race for winning convention assign ments, ami particularly the two .meat assemblages of Democrats and Repub licans in June puts Chicago well in the lead and gives the "Windy City" an opportunity to stage these colorful affairs as a curtain raiser to the "Cen tury of Progress" which will bo a head line attra-ciion in 3!IH3. Already the convention pot is boiling -merrily as committees of prominent business men are organizing to receive thousands of Tlsitors in Chicago during June. One of the. leaders who has helped to bring jthc blue ribbon convention assignments to Chicago is Melvin A.

Chicago has exceptional facilities for entertaining both Republican and Democratic conventions within u sin glo month. Already the engineers aro nt work with blue prints to arrange tho interior of the huge .Chicago Stadium whero both conventions will bo held. The assembling of both conventions promises to ho a groat spectacle, for the. arena whero delegates will be seated will accommodato botweea 8.000 and 10,000.

Thus we have at the end of high school an "outgo" of approxi mately 16,000 children. Of course, the potentialities of children's intellectual ability cannot be measured very scientifically.

' .'. type of opportunity provided the children, however, can be very accu rately determined. The figures pre sented cover a fiscal year period, but within this time schools are operated for varying lengths of term, some six months," some seven ; months, some eight months and some nine months. The question we would like to raise is: Can our income and expenditure of school funds be a-dj usted to pro vide for a more equal opportunity for the children of the state to the end that the "outgo" of children will compare more favorably with the an nual "income" We believe this can be done without affecting very ma terially the financial "income" and "outgo." , .-' t The above article appeared in the State School Facts, a monthly pubii '.
