Pd. Adv. B. F. JONES Garden Tract Needs Shift It is well to pick out a new spot for the home vegetable garden at this time of year since one of the best ways to prevent the increase of vege table diseases from year to year is to rotate the soil in order that parasites that get established with one crop may have a chance to die out before the crop is grown again on the same land. This often takes several years. Potato ground especially should be rotated on account of wilt and thi zoctonia. O. A. C. Exp. station.

Wo make these recommendations con cerning the jail for the reason: That after a thorough inspection, we find same to be unsafe, unsound and unsanitary and in every way unfit for a county jail. That in case a fire should occur in the jail Polk county would pay out many times the cost of a jail in damage Buits on account of the probability of some inmate being burned to death or otherwise seriously injured. That we, after a tnorough inspec tion, find a very crowded and con densed situation in nearly all the of fices of the county officials of this county, due to lack of room. Espec ially does this apply to the county sheriff and the county clerk, who nei ther have proper room nor good fire proof vau'Jts for their records, nor proper office space for their respec tive offices. In both instances these public officials are the custodians of most of the important records in the court house, being our deed records, and tax receipts. It is apparent that these vaults should be enlarged now and must be done within the near fut ure, and by so doing the office space of these officials will be reduced to a great extent Particularly should the off re of the county sheriff be en larged, as it is inadequate, in as much as the sheriff has only one room in which to collect taxes and also at tend to his official duties as sheriff. In many cases during tax collection time when some person calls at his offices and wishes to discuss with him privately, there is absolutely no available space in which to do this. In order to remedy this we would recommend that the county court cause to be erected an addition on the east end of the building large enough to accommodate the business of the present time and for the im- Have You This Bookkeeper?
