“Town Meeting’’ held at Grange|
hall Tuesday evening of last week|
proved to be a very interesting occa-|
sion. There was a good attendance|
and all were interested in hearing re-|
ports of the work done by the board|

talks were made by citizens present,

for another term as mayor and
among those nominated for council
men were M. S. Moffett, H. T. Gan
ung, 0. M. Hanks, M. A. Shipman,

fred Warren. Of especial interes: is
the fact that two ladies were nomi
nated, Mrs. Jesse Bowles and Mrs.
L. M. Moon. The election is to be
held Tuesday, April 1, and we hope
those who are elected and who are
not already subscribers to the En
terprise will send us their order for
the paper.

Mary Louisa Wood Mohnk, whio
died March 9, near Keenesburg, was
for some time a resident of the
Westminster community and had
made many warm friends here. She
was the daughter of the Rev. D. and
Sarah J. Wood and was born near
Alden, N. Y. She spent most of her
girlhood in Franklinville, N. Y. She
joined the Baptist church there when
a child and always lived a consistent
Christian life. She had a brilliant
mind and when she graduated from
Ten Broeck academy in 1895 she had
earned many more credits than any
other student in the school’s thirty
year history. She was a successful
teacher in Colorado and New York
achools and was also a fine elocution
ist and musician. May 25, 1907, she
was married to Henry P. Mohnk, of
Griffin’s Mills, N. Y., when they pur
chased the farm that had been in
Mrs. Mohnk's mother’s family for
more than a hundred years. After
several years there they sold out and
came to Colorado for Mrs. Mohnk’s
health, settling in Westminster. Af-|
ter some time here they returned to
Griffin’'s Mills but in 1917 came
again to Colorado ®and for the past
two years have been living near
i Keenesburg. Funeral services were

The large amount of spring plowing necessary for beets, the
lateness of this work and the general desire for early planting is
giving rise to some ‘“‘nervousness.”
It would be unfortunate if this pent-up activity should, at
the first favorable opportunity, result in planting beet seed on
poorly fitted ground.
Make sure of a well-firmed, well-prepared seed bed before
planting beets. . X
Take sufficiens time, even if it means a few days later
planting, to fis the soil to germinate a good stand which after
ward will not suffer from lack of moisture capilarity nor crusting
and blowing due to hasty work.
Plowing the soil too wet should specially be guarded against.
Harrowing immediately after plowing and leveling, before
planting, as soon as practicable following showers which precede
sowings, and more harrowing to fiem the seed bed will still be
advisable, as a rule, notwithstanding pressure of se much farm
work of all kinds. .
The harrow, sometimes called ‘“‘the farmer's best tool,” is
too little used under favorable conditions to permit the Spring
rush further to reduce its use,
Where begts are to go on alfalfa ground better to take all
necessary time for crowning, drying of the roots, second plowing
and firming than to plant on a seed bed rife with air pockets or
likely to grow up again full of alfalfa.
Past experience has shown the inadvisability of seeding poor
ly fitted soil. The seasen is otill young onough for all sensible
stepe to be taken to make good seed beds before planting.
