TO TENNESSEE FARMERS.

culture.

culture.
Much of the time in "Ialks to
Farmers" we have tried to empha-
size the Importance of getting the
soil broken deep with all the vege-
table matter possible added and
the soil thoroughly pulverzed be-
fore planting. Where this has
been done fully and the surface
stirred often the moisture will be
conserved and the crop will grow
right on even If we do have a dry
spell; to the extent that it is neg
lected will suffer from. dry weather.
We have known farmers to quit
blowing because of dry weather
when they should have worked the
surface of the soilinto dust mulch.
OF course if the farmer has adher-
ed to his old methods of breaking
his ground shallow and has put
lhis seed into the ground before
the soil was pulverized, he may ex-
pect to have clods to contend with ;.
will lose his moisture and his crop
cannot feed on the plant food in
the soil. His crops will not be
profitable and Ire can only have
himself to blame.
The harvest and haying season
is. now here and we should use
every precaution to save our crops
when made. We have seen splen-
did wheat crops practically lost
after it was in the shock by letting
it remain after it was ready to go
either to the machine or to the
barn if. a thresher was not avalla-
ble. Anyone who travels over the
country and is observant will see
many tons s-ofbay ruined after it is
cut by delay ingetting it protected.
Such losses to the farmer is mex
cusable in the majority of cases.
Attention to detail doing the right
thing at the right time in the right
wey. puts the balance on the right
side of the farmers ledger.
En- the cultivation of corn,. we
should try and give the ground a
thorough shallow stirring at least
once every ten days. Once week
would be better. The constant
stirring of the surface soil kills the
weeds and conserves the moisture
in the soil.
This year much interest will be
taken in politics but it should new
er.interfere with the farmers work

on policies of government Stat'

that advocates the policies best TO

what his political convictions, n

ever ready to take more interest /
politics and other affairs outside

Time Limit of Five Years for Ministers Likely to Be Approved
 Once More
SOME FAVOR;
 OTHERS DO NOT
Various Arguments Have Been Adduced Pro and Con on Proposed
 Change
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

MINNEAPOLIS, May 2.-Limitation to five years as the longest time any minister shall remain in given church. is expected to be recommended to the Methodist Episcopal general confluence by bishops tomorrow as a means of stimulating growth of the church. Much opposition is expected to arise over the proposal. At pres ent 19,OOO Methodist ministers, scat tered all over the world, are allowed to remain in any pulpit indefinitely. The new plan is supported by twenty
 four active bishops and will mean the restoration of the time limit abolished in 1900
 In favor of the change the bishops received thest arguments: Some of the churches will not have less able ministers all the time, and none of the churches will have better minis ters exclusively. Prominent pulpits, now held by the few, will be thrown open to younger men Against the change, these objections are made:
 That preachers who plan a great work, will not be in the pulpit long enough to accomplish it; that many preachers have left the church be- cause they were hampered by the time limit, and that large congregs-
 tions cannot be built up from pulpits
 where there are frequent changes"
 It is expected the bishops will rec ommend radical changes in the amuse- ment restrictions, now imposed upon church members, these changes to be
 in the nature of restoring John Wes- ley's method of allowing the consci- ence of individuals to dictate what shall be proper. instead of having the church decide. In d declaration in the first section of the bishops report, signed by all the bishops and received by the 5S0 delegates as the most important document to come before them Bishop Earl CranstOn, of Wash ington. D. C., today described as criti- cal, the fact that in the last year the church gained less than two per cent in membership. notwithstanding an outlay of millions of dollars"
 That greed for wealth, sports and
 en away from the church it is useless
 to deny, he said. He attributed the small growth partly to the system of uIoppHhS rom melnDerSnlp those who 1 left their church without letters and failed to report to another church within a year. The tendency of min isters to go to a church because the salary is inviting, Bishop Cranston pronounced a species of commercial | ism" The conference tonight heard | reports from Rev. J T. Wardle, of | Stafford Scarborough, England. on ! the state of the church in England
 and from Rev. J. A. NJ. Aikens, of | Winnipeg. on it's progress in Canada

REVISION
IS IN QUESTION
Speculation as 10 What will
be Attitude Of the Insurgent
Senators

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-What at
titude will the republican insurgert
senator's take toward the democratic
tariff revision bills!
That is the subject of much spec
ulation just at present and may large
ly determine the question whether or
not the revision of the tariff by the
new congress that will come into Of
flee with President Woodrow Will
son will be along conservative or rad
ical lines.
Without the help of the republican
insurgents it is practically admitted
the democrats cal put through the
senate only conservative tariff revi-
sion. The democratic margin of con-
troll will be slender, probably a ma
jority OF only two or three. The loss
Of a couple or three democratic votes
to the republicans would mean a fail
ure OF the democratic proposals, and
to avoid that the tariff revision meas.
ure would necessarily be framed
along conservative lines.
And the training Of several demo-
cratic senators with the republicans
Is not as unlikely as it might seem.
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
was being pushed through the senate
the republicans could practically al
ways count on the two Louisiana
democratic senators when in a tight
place.
"AIong Protective Lines"
There are other democrats who Will
be in the next congress and who are
very conservative on tariff rate cuts.
Some democrats frankly say they
want revision "along protective
lines" Others fear the effect on
business OF a radical change of Gus
tom duties and think along the prin-
ciple that discretion is the better
part of valor," reduction should be
gradual. In the last session Senator
Newlands proposed horizontal re-
duction of a definite percentage each
year over a period of years. And
there are other senators who think
some such general principle might
we'll be applied.
Therefore, a radical revision Of the
tariff rates would seem to depend up
on the republican insurgents. They
have been shouting for tariff revision
and some of them trained with the
democrats in the last two sessions,
when the democrats were in control
Of the house, and put several tarlff
revision bills up to the senate. 1t
was with the aid of the republican
p~rogressiVes that tariff bills were
pushed through the senate and later
put UP to President Taft.
What "Progressives" May Do.
Even il the conservative democrats
would not support radical tariff re-
vision measures, it is %contended, the
republican progressives might vote
with the democratic progressives in
favor OF radical revision. Again. they
may not. Their attitude is the basis
for speculation, in view Of the effect
It will have on the tariff legislation
