WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11. 1933 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE SCHOOL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Que8tion â€" If a Hecond audit is made and tlie sccounU found incorrect, can any action b« talten aKainst the audit- om who certified the accoanta to b« correct? Answer â€" ^Thig point is not covered in the Public Schools Act, but it ia assumed that auditors are in the same position as other persons if they should sign incorrect statements. It would remain, however, for the courts to decide as to how far the wrotijf ac- tion was due to ignorance or intention. Qurstiion â€" Is a quorum necessary at an annual mcetinK? If so, how many? Answer â€" Section 66 of the Public Schools Act sets forth the require- ments and procedure for an annual meeting: of the ratepayers in rural scliol sections. There is nothing in this Section to indicate that a quorum of ratepayers is necessary before the meeting may proceed with school bus iness. It would seem, therefore, that if the meeting has been properly called that three trustees or any number of ratepayers ntipht proceed with the business. Question â€" What section of the Pub- lic Schools Act makes it unlawful for a school board to have a surplus at th« beginning of the financial year? Answer â€" Sub-Section (p) of Section 88 of tbe Public Schools Act gives a Board of Trustees power to requisi- tion money for the expenses of the school under their charge from the Municipal Council for the current year. This can mean only the cur- rent calendar year. Question â€" Can ratepayers attend meotingH of a school board? If so, what steps can be tal(en to keep them from interfering? Answer â€" The meetings of Boards of Trustees are public meetings ano therefore open to the public. If rate- payers or other persons attend and disturb meetings a Board may adjourn the meeting if impossible to do bus- iness and ask for police protection at adjourned meeting. Persons who attend the meeting of the Board can- not have any voice in the proceedings coccept with the consent of the Board. Question â€" Is it legal where there is a tie (voting for a trustee) for the secretary to g've the casting xote? Answer â€" Sub-Section (7) of Section 66 of the Public Schools Act states that in case of a tie a motion shall be declared to be negatived.

Duncan HARDWARE FLESHERTON Soybeans For Hay The soybean crop is well suited to use as an attnual buy. In cases where a hay crop has become winter- killed and an emergoncj crop is re- hired, the soybean will be found quite useful. A hay of about the same feeding value as alfalfa will be produced and yields reported are very encouraging. When the soybean is to be grown for the first time on a section of ground the seed should be inoculated before planting. This will enable the full benefits of the leguminous properties of the plant to be realized. Planting is best done in drills seven inches apart. This will require CO to 90 pounds of seed per acre, de- pending upon the size and germina- tion of the variety used. The time of planting the soybeans for hay may be somewhat later than is necessary for a seed crop. Although soybeans may be cut for hay earlier, it is re- commended that cutting be done at the stage when the pods are about half filled. In order that this stage of growth may be reached by the end of August and the hay cured not later than the first week in September, planting should be done albout the first week dn June. The maturing period of the variety used and sea- sonal conditions in different districts will permit of some variation in the date of planting, but early in June may be taken as a general guide for this work. In most districts weather condi- tions make the curing of hay rather difficult and uncertain later than the first week in September. It is therefore advisable to do the curing in August if possible. Since soybean hay is more difficult to cure than alfalfa, good curing weather is to be desired for this process. Satisfac- tory curing has been accomplished at the Dom'inion Experimental Station Harrow, by cutting in the morning, after the dew is off, and raking into, windrows in the evening. CurijiM^ may then be completed in the win^, row or small cocks.

This season to date there has not t)een a heavy run of sap, due no doubt to condition of the ground, from which the frost is just commencing to leave. &iow has almost all dis- appeared from the sugar bushes, so the season should reach its height of production this week. Mr. Walter \kitt of town has 2500 trees tapped and (Mr. W. J. Chard also has about 900 trees in production. Sunday and Monday produced the best run of sap in the current season.

Well, recent events indicate that she is getting some sense. 1 will make the prediction that Agnes's name will not be on a ballot again and that she will be one of the first Senators appointed by W. L. Mc- kenzie King when he gets iback into power. Agnes, being a woman, got mixed up in her political thinking. A political idealist is never a saf* leader to follow. I would like noth- ing better than to have a heart-to- heart talk with her. I'll bet she is a wiser girl than she was ten years ago and I'm sure can tell much that is interesting.
