encampment. The visitors will be
taken for an excursion by promi-
nent Chattanooga people and given
a reception on the Tennessee river.
Hydroaeroplane flights will also be
given daily OH the Tennessee river
during the encampment.
Another attractive exhibition to
instruct and entertain the visitors
will be model device reproducing
the Panama canal. This model of
the big ditch is large enough to per-
nit the passage through canal Of
a good sized. miniature steamboat.
The purpose of the model is to
show how large ocean going vessels
will b efoated through the Panama
canal.
There will be a number of reg
mental and brigade reunions dur
ing encampment week. of interest
largely to old soldiers. Wilder S
brigade will hold a reunion. as will
also the Army of the Cumberland.
Many of the regiments that fought
in the Chattanooga battles will
hold reunions. the dates TO be an
nounced later. Battlefield reun-
ions are also being arranged by a
special committee. These reun-
ions will be for survivors of each
battle fought here and will be held
on the battlefelds. The battlefields
included are Chicamauga, Lookout
mountain and Missionary ridge

Instruction In The
Art OF Packing

In order to compete with the
western apples sent to the city
markets from those states, as 1t re-
lates TO the packing. which figures
prominently in their sale, it has
been proposed by the State Board
of Agriculture of Delaware to es-
tablish an apple packing school for
the purpose of instructing the Del
aware apple growers in the pack
ing of the fruit for the coming Win
ter. That the packing of fruit has
much to do with the sales was eyi-
denced some few years ago when
Delaware apple growers competed
with the Western apple growers at
Madison Square Garden Exhibi-
ton for prizes. the Western apples
taking the greater number of prizes
because of the packing as to uni
formity. etc.
Last year an expert apple pack
er came to Delaware spending
three weeks here instructing some
of the larger growers as to the
packing in boxes and barrels, which
had its effect in last years apple
show. The object of the packing
school at this time is 10 instruct
greater number of the packers.
While the instruction will be given
free. it has been the opinion OF
some that a registration fee Of 81
be asked and the board has consid-
cred the matter. consenting to such
a registration fee.

The Outlook Countryward

In recent address before the
Massachusetts Horticultural So
ciety of Boston, Professor L. H.
Bailey, director of the New York
State College of Agriculture at
Cornell University, spoke upon
The Outlook COuntryward. > He
said in part:
Two important movements are
now before the country, the coun-
try life movement and the back-to-
the-land movement. The country
life movement is the expression of
the desire to make the farming reg
ions as satisfying and effective So
cially and economically as are the
towns and the cities. The move
ment is not only sound but is fun
damental, for the reason that an
effort to etfectuahze any necessary
existing society is part of the pro-
gress of civilization.
The present back-to-thr-land
agitation is largely a city effect. eX-
pressing many motives and ideas.
It IS in part an effort of the city to
relieve its congestion. in part to
find labor for the unemployed, and
in part the result of the doubtful
propaganda to decrease the cost of

FARM OBSERVATIONS

ever. as | go about the county that
here and there a farmer does not
live fully up to his opportunities.
Some of the farms are not as pro-
ductive, as well titled. not as at
tractive as the Lord intended them
to be.
Your correspondent refers to the
fact that soil around Vineland,
New Jersey, is barren and compar-
atively worthless. The State Board
report says that fifty years ago it
was a barren waste. that there are
spots of absolutely barren sand
and right alongside of these spots
are farms made from the same bar
ren sand that are producing the
most luXuriant crops at a great
profit. If | understand the lesson
to be learned. it is not that the
New Castle county farmer with
fertile soil should go over to New
Jersey and buy barren sand, but
that the less fortunate Delaware
farmer, who has barren sand any
where in the State. should find en-
couragement to fill that sand full
of crimson clover. cowpeas, soy
beans and alfalfa until it will pro-
duce luxuriant crops at a profit.
New Castle county and stated
This can be done.
Afew days ago a Sussex county
farmer was in New Castle county
and stated that a man from outside
of the State was imposed upon by
a real estate agent who sold him a
piece of barren sand. The tender
foot went to the further folly of
sending to New York city for car
loads of stable manure at a cost of
about So per ton delivered, and
the same farmer has just sold
enough cantaloupes off his barren
sand to pay for the land and the
manure and the labor. and has his
land in pretty good shape for fu-
ture cantaloupe crops and other
crops. Fertile soil is a great bless
ing. 4 fertile brain. with a little

Amusement Features Of The
Chattanooga Encamprnent

Chattanooga, CHh.
The program Of entertainment
for the +7th national encampment
of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. to be held here September 15-
20, Is about complete. and it is one
of the most attractive programs
ever offered by Q city entertaining
the union veterans.
Chief among the events is a sham
battle to be fought between regi-
ments Of the regular army on Chic
amauga battlefield. concluding at
historic Snodgrass Hill. This event
mas been arranged for the enter
tainment of the old soldiers, pri-
marily: but it will be of interest to
all visitors. The Chattanooga En-
campment Association believes that
it will be more enjoyable for the
old soldiers. to make them the spec
eators of a sham battle rather than
the actors in it. Hence. it will be
fought by regular troops of the [.
s. Army.
The most spectacular feature of
the program will be the reproduc-
ton Of the Battle Above the
Clouds" in fireworks. This spec
tacle. of course. will be staged on
Lookout Mountain. nearly $500
feet above the sea level and fifteen
hundred feet above the valley in
which Chattanooga is situated. 1t
will be one of the greatest fire
works spectacles ever seen in the
United States. and will be visible
for a hundred miles in all direc-
tions.
Signal fires will be lighted every
evening on Signal Point, north of
the city. reproducing signal fires
that burned there during the Chat
tanooga campaign in 1863. These
bonfres will be plainly visible from
the city of Chattanooga, as they
were during the war. A large ho-
tel has been erected near Signal
mountain, and this will be filled
with guests during the encamp-
ment. Signal mountain is reached
in thirty minutes from the city by
| trolley cars and automobiles.
A collision between two passen-
ger trains at Warner park, just
east of the residential sections of
the city. is another important num-
! Der on the amusement program.
| Two passenger trains, going at the
rate of forty miles an hour will col
! lide on straight track in front of
spectators in a large grandstand.
This spectacle has been witnessed
in but two places in the United
States, once at Indianapolis and
once at Brighton Beach. Warner
park is the largest children s play.
ground in the southern States, has
a railway track running along one
side of it, and is splendidly adapt
ed in every other way for the exhi-
bition.

any event propaganda must be
preceded by facts and these must,
IN turn be considered in a spirit OF
fairness and with due regard to
conflicting possibilities. One of
the important and widely discuss.
ed phases of the question involves
the effect of alcohol on the of.
spring. Records of degenerates,
statistics on insanity and other
diseases have been gathered in
abundance and contributed az evil
dence in one way or another.
Statistics are prOverbially uncer-
tain unless they are collected with
due intelligence and interpreted
with reasonable precaution, hence
is always gratifying to have OBJ
servations substantiated by prop.
