It was anounced that Major Gen eral Wood had forwarded his recom mendations to the State Department Saturday and the report came unof ficially that Charlotte had been con sidered favorably. The Gazette trusts when the official report is made known that our neighbor lias landed one of the cantonments. Lend Your Bulletin to a .Veixlibor. (State Agricultural bulletin.) - "Men and women who have valua ble bulletins issued by the Agricul tural Extension Service can do a great service by lending these publi cations to their neighbors when not needed at that immediate time. In tbe last two months the Agricultural Extension Service has distributed over 30,000 of the canning circulars liy.Mrs. Jane S. McKimnion and ap proximately 10,000 of the cook book by Miss Jamison. Both of these cir culars have been completely exhaust ed and are now being reprinted. Id addition to this, the supply of circulars on tbe year-round garden baa also been exhausted. Never be fore has there been such an attempt on such a wide scale for obtaining information upon production and conservation subjects. The Extension Service has tried to put these bulle tins and circulars where they would do the most good and from all indi cations it seems that 'they have not been misplaced. There will be some delay for the next two weeks in answering re quests . for bulletins on canning, cooking and gardening as the supply of all three has been completely ex hausted and is pow being reprinted. ums yyt vwVaar .'
