FROM IRELAND Two weeks ago we mentioned that the sixth grade of Vaile school sent a letter to the American con sul at Belfast, Ireland. We were happy to receive a reply last week. It was a big fat lotter full of " information about linen manufacture. It seemed so nice to think that it came from across the ocean, On - the envelope was stamped, "The-American Consular Service." In his letter the consul said that he was a Virginian. He told us that a long ' time ago, the English dealt unjustly with the Irish, and kept the-manufacture of wool to themselves. This turned out fortunately for the Irish; for they then turned all their attention to. the manufacture of cotton and linen. He described the process by which the flax was prepared for weaving, and how the bleachihg was done, by exposure for some time to the weather. Some of the snow-white table linen of Rich mond no doubt, has been made iu Belfast. Belfast is also noted for its ship building. Here the great Titanic, which was sunk during the war, was built, he said. Edith L. Webb, reporter for Vaile school. COUNTY AGENT DOLAN SPEAKS AT GARFIELD The 8A Social and Industrial Geography class,: taught by Miss Heitbrink, enjoyed hearing a talk by Mr. Dolan, county agricultural agent for Wayne county. Mr. Do- lun, wno was once a leauuer uuii srlf, thinks school children should leara agricultural methods as well as their other . subjects, because 50 per cent, of the population of the United States ifi engaged In farm ing pursuits. He brought with him to "the school a weed called "White Snake Weed." It is very poisonous, and, if eaten by animals, will caude their death within 24 hours. It was not known until recently what caused their death, so Mr. Dolan is helping the farmers to get rid of this weed. Mr. Dolan also talked on chicken culling. He brought two hens with him for exhibits. He called at tention to the fact that the hen which is a fast moulter will lay more eggs than the hen that takes all - summer to moult, because moulting takes strength from the hen. The hen first moults on the neck, then on the back, then on the" body, and last of all, on the wings. He also stated that the color will gradually leave the hen's bill after she has laid for five weeks and her legs and feet after laying six months. It is said that the color 9 . . 1. n 1 .1 f .

A good hen should lay at leasta hundred, and fifty egga a year, as the record is over 300 eggs. ' Mr. Dolan says, "Always set the hen on eggs .that have been laid by the best layers of the flock." Indian Stories V ' , at Sevastopol Miss Dickinson's room have two big tents In one corner of the room. Some times the children dress up like Indians and tell stories.
