During the past two or three years a good portion of the tame pastures in Adair County have been killed oift by dry weather and at the present time vedy little tame pasture is available in the county. Early spring sn'y from 20th to March 15th, is a good me to sow pasture grasses and I would suggest that those who ca possibly do so plant a good acreage to pasture this spring. A good combination for most of our soils woul dbe about as follows: Orchard 10 pound; Red Clover 5 Timothy 3 pounds; Korean 8 pounds, this amount of would be sufficient to sow one acre.

One Interestinig that appears in several of the latter The 3,980 demonstrations given by farm women in 340 Aunties in. 1935 constituted the greatest influence' in the home demonstration program carried on in the county, says Miss Elizabeth Atkiraon, Adair County home demonstration agent. These 3,980 demons trains included work in home gardens, market gardens, small fruits, yard nient, poulty, homei dairying, family nutrition, family canning budget, food preparation, child feeding, bed room improvement, child development, home health and sanitation and clothing. The neighbors of the demonstrators visited these demonstrations and their interest was aroused. As a result, many farm women went ir.to their own homes and practiced the home improvement learned at the demonstrations, the agent said.

The farm homemaker who learned Mt. Vernon at demonstrations how to refinish her kitchen floor, walls and woodwork, or how to rearrange the kitchen furnishings for convenience found that she saved her time, labor and effort. Her improved kitchen was a source of pride and joy to her and made her kitchen work more interesting. "The effectiveness of the agent's' demonstration is determined- by the extent to which farm womem and girls use the information, given in improving their own housekeeping and homemaking problems," sayS Miss Norma M. Brumbaugh, home demontratioa agsnt.

O- A number of persons have asked me recently whether or not the peach crop in Adair county had been killed. An examination of several orchards during this week has shown that less than ten percent of the buds have been killed. Up to the present time i we have had ay.ooable^ weather for killing peach buds bht because of the continued cold weather and little advancement made in the development of the buds they have apparently stood the cold in good condition. Of course, there is plenty of time for them to be killed between this and summer. MARRIAGES Mr.
