TO TENNSSEEE FARMERS.

culture.

culture.
1t would not be out of place to
talk this week about conserving
moisture for crops. We can see
what happens to our crops when
dry season comes, when we have
not prepared our ground to with
stand the drouth. We have had
this subject up before and warned
the farmers IN time what would
happen when dry weather came if
they were not prepared. Now that
they can see their corn parching
and all the work they have done on
the crop, in measure, wasted, they
will possibly give more attention to
the suggestions for saving the
moisture for such dry seasons as
the present.
You remember that we told you
that the more decayed vegetable
matter you plow into your soil the
greater would be it's capacity for
holding water, and that for the
same reason that a quart cup would
hold more than pint cup, SO
would soil eight inches deep hold
more moisture than soil four inches
deep.
We have an annual average rain
fall of So inches, so we have no ex-
cuse for not having moisture for
our crops.
We can always have it if we will
simply get busy and prepare our
ground to retain the moisture that
falls on it. A deep soil full of
vegetable matter, well pulverized
will catch and hold the moisture
and evaporation can be minimum
lied by keeping dust mulch on
the surface during the growing
season. This has been done often
and the profitable results ought to
be sufficiently convincing to cause
everyone to prepare their land to
be independent of the drouths we
have during the fall months. It
is not want of knowledge with
many, but some of us leave work
of this character alone altogether
because we can not get all our
farms in proper shape in one sea-
son, while with others they>are
simply too lazy to put the energy
IN their work.
Now if we could get every farm
er to take five acres on his farm,
break it deep and subsoil, get big
crop of vegetable matter to turn
lnder, keep a cover crop of rye and
;risom clover for winter and turn
lnder in the spring, grow a crop
)f soy beans or peas and turn un-
ler, then thoroughly pulverize
and, provide good seed bed and
olant in corn; get dust mulch by
weeder before corn germ
mated and keep the mulce by con-
tant shallow stirring, the crop re-
ulting would pay for all the extra
work in getting the soil in shape
o produce, while the value of the
and would be doubled for sue
eeding crops.
Any wideawake farmer who will
larry out this plan on few acres
will find the results so profitable
hat he will add few acres each
,ear until he has his whole farm

OLD BENTON
MET 'EM AT
THE FAIR
Tomato Club
I Girls Won
Seven Prizes

"Hurrah for Benton County !!
Hurrah for the county agent !!
Hnrrah for the Superintendent !!
Hurrah for the Tomato Club
Girls Your exhibit is grand 7"
These are the words Of Miss
Virginia p. Moore when she re-
cSiyed the Benton County Tomato
Cab exhibit-the first to be sent
to the State Fair-and this was
the verdict of the crowds who ad-
mired the splendid exhibit sent in
by Mrs. Hardin and her six Can
ming Club Girls, Misses Rubye
Devault, Blanche Browning, Cas-
sic Herndon, Lillian Brooks, Mary
Bell Cheatham and Myrtle Hardin.
They won seven prizes brought
back to Benton County: The first
prize for the best individual ex-
hibit in the State. a Jersey calf
first prize for the best exhibit of
single school, q canning outfit; first
prize for the best book of tomato
recipes, freless cooker; first prize
for the best booklet on the life his
tory of the tomato, a cut glass bowl; ;,
first prize for the best drawing of
the tomato plot and. home grounds,
q pair of Indian Runner ducks;.
second prize for the best all-round
county exhibit, S25 in cash; prize
for canning contest between single
girl from Benton County and one
from Hamilton County, gold pin.
The six girls and Mrs. Hardin
gave public demonstration in can
ming on Thursday of the fair, fill
ing 65 three-pound tin cans in 80
minutes, and acquitted themselves
with such credit that their skill
and self-control was complimented
blythe vast throngs present for the
remainder of the week. At the
close of the demonstration Mrs.
Hardin was called on for a talk,
and she emphasized the points that
the girls had done efficient work
this year; that they had never been
drilled together for the public
work; that each Of the six girls
had volunteered to go to the fair
aud had paid her own expenses;
the educational awakening caused
by thegirls' work, the tendency to-
ward better home and home-mak-
era and the great debt Benton
County and Tennessee owed Miss
M oore and the United States De-
nartment Of Agriculture for in
augurating this great movement.
After this the crowd called for
Miss Mary Bell Cheatham, the
nallest tomato club girl in the
state, and she told them how she
made her crop.
