The office of the county superin- tendent of schools is one of special significance, and it is interesting ‘to nete that people are waking up on this subject. The state law says: ‘The county superintendent shall visit and instruct each schoo] in their counties at least once each term- Tuesday yielded 1,800 bushels, and other crops in the district are run- ning equally well.

Quincy Yost fas a business caller at Cohasset Monday last. Rey. Beebe of Stewart visited here Tuesday. Miss Nellie Bracken accompanied her sisters, Edith, Ethel and Adel] to instruct its teachers—advice teachers and school boards.” The law evidently supposed that the county superintendent shal] be a high grade teacher, for it is her business to “instruct each school.” It is good to note, that Itasca coun- ty is waking up to this fact. There can be no more wastful methods of expeuding money than to pay $1,200 and expenses yearly to one who is ir- capable of instructing. The county superintendent should be educated, at least, as well as her teachers. ‘There is no one who receives more contempt than one placed in an official] position to in- struct those who are better educat- ei than the supposed instructor. Min- nesota electors will certainly vote for the constitutional] amendment tal: ing the office of county superintend- ent of. schools out of politics. The county superintendent should possess a degree of wisdom in the management of school affairs—in ot! er wcrds, the county superintendent Should possess that uncommon trait— common sense, together with exper- ience in school matters.

The severe drouth last summer and the hard winter which followed it so injured the clover fields of the Northwest that clover seed will be sacrce next season, and will un- doubtedly demand as high a price as it did this spring. Some paid as high as $25 for 100 pounds of clover seed Special Sale To make room for the New Fall Stock a Special Reduction in prices will be made until Septem- ber Ist, on all Art Goods, Stamped Towels, Pillow Slips, Cushion Tops, Etc. Also on Ribbons for Fancy Work for the winter at greatly reduced prices. this spring, which was a very profit- able price to the one who was for- tunate to have some for sale. Anyone who has a good field of clover wilt obtain a profit by cut- ting it for seed, if he is certain that the heads are well filled. An ordi- nary crop of clover will yield from one to two bushels per acre, and it is not uncommon in Minnesota to obtain four or five bushels per acre. Figured at about $15 a bushel, it can be seen what a tidy profit may be Mrs. MW. W. Fletcher Minnesota obtained, even when a very common crop has been harvested. It will pay the farmer to look over his sec- ond crop of clover early this fall be- advisable to use a common mower and roll the swath out of the way before making the next round. If a team is permitted to walk on the clover, especially if it is dry when cut, many of the heads will be kuocked off and the seed will be lost. Ancther method of cutting clover for seed is to use a mower with a clover dump attachment, This at- tachment consists of several long fin gers turned in the form of a mold- board on a plow. These fingers roll the swath out of the way, so that a team can pass along the next time }without trampling on the clover. It is often advantageous to cut clover for seed when it is damp with dew or light rain. If it is very wet it tangles up and becomes hard to han- dle, but when it is moist, the scatter ing of seed is avoided. It is advisable to hull the clover seed as soon as the straw is thor- oughly dry. If it is found impossible to do this, the clover may be stack- ed. If it is stacked outside, the stack must be covered with canvas, boards, or slough hay, as it will not shed water. If a huller cannot be secured, much of the seed can be threshed out with a threshing ma- chine equipped with a sharp cylinder and concave teeth. It is practically impossible to secure all the seed, however, unless a huller is employed —0O. M. Olson, Extension Division, Minnesota Argicultura] Coilege- MINNESOTA MEN vmx.
