[Woodstock Sentinel.] At the rural school and farmers' day meeting at the fair grounds Saturday, August 24, a committee was appointed to take steps toward the organization of a permanent association for the im­ provement of the soils of this county. This committee met at the court house last Friday and took action toward the formation of a McHenry County Soil Improvement association, such as De- Kalb and other progressive counties have. M. J. Wright, president of the coun­ ty farmers' institute presided. Mrs. Nettie Harrison was appointed secre­ tary of the meeting. A frank discus­ sion of the work was entered into by every one present and it was the con­ census of opinion that a permanent organization should be formed. . A motion was made and seconded that a committee from all the repre­ sentative interests of the county be called, by the president of the county farmers' institute, to meet in the court house Saturday, Sept. 14, at 1:30 p. m. It is to be hoped that all organiza­ tions of the county are represented at this meeting, as it means a step in the right direction and one that will mean thousands of dollars not only to the farmers of the county, but to all classes of people. Messrs. Wright, Hoy, Henich and Shelton are laboring un selfishly in this good cause to the end that our county shall take its proper place among the agricultural districts of the state and nation.

The delinquent subscribers got it into their heads that he was on the war path, and every one he met insisted on pay­ ing all he owed. Otoe man Griped out a debt of ten years' standing. On his return to the office he found a load of hay, fifteen bushels of corn, ten bushels of potatoes, a load of wood and a barrel of turnips that had been brought in.

The dairy husbandry department of the University of Illinois has been car­ rying on during the month of August a dairy survey of Kane county, Illinois, and is now at work on McHenry coun­ ty. A force of seven men under the immediate direction of Mr. F. A. Pear­ son, formerly of Cornel 1,'^has been do- ,ing the work. It is expected tha't the work will be completed by September 20. When completed they will have visited over BOO farms in the two coun­ ties. These men. in their visits to the farmers, asked all sorts of questions in regard to the number of cows kept, the amount of milk and other dairy products obtained during the past year, amount of food consumed by these cows, the size of the farm, amount of grain, etc., raised,--all with the ob- ject of finding out conditions of the dairy section and the profits and ex­ penses. Eventually it is intended that this data will be worked up and pub­ lished in the form of a bulletin of the agricultural experiment station. "THE GOVERNOR'S PARDON." "The Governor's Pardon," which is to be presented at the Central opera house Saturday, Sept. 14, has been wheeling about the country for years and everywhere it has been presented has had but one verdict by press and public, namely, that it is one of the most entertaining and satisfying stage creations which has ever been devised. Each one of the characters is such a person as one meets every day in real life and the story in which the char­ acters are pictured is just as natural as it can be. "The Governor's Par­ don" is a drama with music and each performance is genuinely tuneful and pleasing. Prices 25, and 50 cents. Buy farm today. D.
