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.
Sodium Fluoride Kills Lice
Dust the pullets with sodium flu
oride if troubled with lice. This is
best done at night as less disturbance
is caused among the birds. O. A. C.

GRAND JURY RECOMMENDS
CHANGE IN COURT HOUSE
DallasWe, the grand jury selec
ted to serve during the October, 11)22,
term of the circuit court for the
county of Folk, do hereby make the
following recommendations concern
ing the county jail and the county
court house:
We do hereby recommend that the
building now being used as a county
jail be dispensed with and the steel
cages now in said building bo "moved
to the court house block, cither in the
or lulioininir thereto. 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-

HENS PECK PEN MATES
Birds just off the range and placed
in confined quartern, as they are dur

watched, for they are likely to develop
the habit of picking each other's
feathers. The new feathers have
blood at the base which gives them
mediate future, providing they have the taste of blood and causes this
