THE SCHOOL MEET-
' : INC TONIGHT
The annual meeting of the
taxpayers of the Springfield
echool district will be held at the
High school building this even
ing to consider the matter of
levying a tax for next year's
school maintenance.
Not only will this meeting
bo called upon to pass upon the
questions of funds for the or
dinary running expenses, but
tliey.jnust take some stock of
the future and decide what shall
be .done in the matter of provid
ing for the continued growth of
the schools. And the delapitated
condition of the high school
building also demands consider
ation. Something must be done,
and. whether it would be worth
while to spend several thousand
dollars putting a new roof on
a patchwork building is some
thing the board will have to con
WHAT A FARMERS SELLS
j 4 Ten thousand correspondents of the Bureau of Crop Esti
mates in the Department of Agriculture have reported what
they sold off the farm in a typical year. Taking all the reports
together, out of every hundred dollars' worth sold, forty doll
ars represented crops thirty-six dollars, live animals twenty
dollars, the products ;of animals such as milk, butter, eggs
and four dollars, miscellaneous items.
This is the national average, from which different sections
show a wide variation. In the Cotton Belt, for example, out of
each hundred dollars' worth of products sold, seventy-live
dollars was crops; fourteen dollars, live animals; seven dollars
animal products; and four dollars, miscellany; while in New
York, fifty-three dollars of each hundred was animal products;
fourteen dollars, live animals; twenty-seven dollars, crops;
and six dollars, miscellany. In Vermont only ten dollars out
of the hundred was crops. In Iowa sixty-three dollars-out of
the hundred was live animals, twelve was animal products and
twenty-two was crops.
If these correspondents are really representative, then
less than half the average farmer's sales are of' raw matrial
namely, crops. That is a very good showing. Selling crops
often means depleting the soil; selling animals and animal pro
ducts means enriching or at least maintaining it. Yet what is
profitable in one district may not be so in another. Georgia's
seventy-five per cent for crops may be more profitable for her
than New York's sixty-seven per cent for animals and ani
mal products would be. Saturday Evening Post.

building has outlived its useful

asks an appropriation of $1200
for a manual training building,
for the quarters now used in the
basement of the Lincoln building
are needed for an indoor play
room in such weather as we
have been having.
A few thousand more would
erect a good frame building of
solid construction to house the
high school if the taxpayers did
not take that longer look into
the fuutre and. with faith in the
future of their town, erect a suit

more than usual importance and
every taxpayer, especially the
parents of school children,
should be in attendance.
