ALTAMONT IS READY
FOR BASEBALL
Baseball was definitely assured last evening when the Fellowcraft Baseball club representing Noah Lodge, No. 764, F. & A. M., was granted permission by the Altamont Fair association to play baseball on the field inside the racetrack at the local fair grounds. The season will be started tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon when the Fellowcraft club members will meet at the fair grounds and go through their first drill, but this time with the pick and shovel grading the diamond and left field. Anyone interested in good baseball and feeling a desire to exercise a bit will be given a try out if they put in an appearance with a shovel, rake and hoe. Much work is to be done on the diamond before the first game.

CO. SHEEP GROWERS WILL 

HOLD MEETINGS 

Wool growers and sheepmen of Albany county are going to have a big week, April 26th to 30th inclusive, when Prof. G. E. Grams of the College of Agriculture under auspices of the Albany County Farm Bureau will hold two barn meetings and make a large number of farm visits in the towns of Knox, Berne, Preston Hollow, Medusa, Westerlo, and other villages. 

The purpose of these meetings is to discuss feeding and management of sheep as well as the marketing of wool and lambs. A brief discussion of parasites and production problems will take place in answer to questions which may arise at the time. 

Every year Prof. Grams is brought to the county for this purpose, but this year he will spend a longer time than usual and it will be spent mostly in making farm visits to individuals who have problems which they would like investigated or have special reasons for desiring help. Anyone who would like assistance should make early application at the Farm Bureau office, Court House, Albany. A schedule is tentatively arranged taking up the entire time in three days, and it is felt that the work outlined in this way will be of particular value in determining what course of action the Farm Bureau will follow in regard to improving practices in this industry. 

REIDSVILLE (OMITTED LAST WEEK)

— The Westerlo steam plow is making its way down the south road as fast as possible. Some banks are very bad. Our mail carrier can soon travel his route, and all will be very pleased to see him. No matter what the condition of weather or roads, he is always cheerful and pleasant. 

— Rev. T. Hampel made a great effort to reach Reidsville, to hold his Easter service, but could not get within a mile of the church on account of a large snowbank in the road that had landed there on the night previous.
