Editorial COMMENT

WiIkes-Barre Record.-And we sup
pose that President Wilson will define
last Tuesdays rout as a psychological
defeat.
Philadelphia Press.-Now IL the
Washington administration will turn
its attention to the pacification of Mex
leo once more-or as many times
more as may be necessary-and let
business alone perhaps the country
will be able to straighten up.

Pittsburgh GaZette-Times. The
claim advanced by several distin.
guished members of the Presidents
official family, that the outcome OF
last weeks elections is in reality VIC
tory for the Democratic party fol-
the reason that it retains control OF
Congress, is more than offset by other
circumstances of greater Importance
States which went Republican repre-
sent a majority of more than fifty in
the electoral college. This transforms
Mr.. Wilson's supposed sure thing for
1915 from the banks of the Potomac
to the river of Doubt, If not to the
better known and more familiar Salt
River. No man needs to put on parti-
san spectacles to see that.

SUMMER CARE OF THE FLOCK

The care Of the flock of ewes during
the summer perhaps has more infiu-
snce upon the success Of that flock
during the coming year than anything
else For day or so before the wean-
ang of the lambs the flock should be
put on poor pasture in order that the
ewes may the more readily be dryed
up. After the lambs are taken away
the ewes should have the most care
ful attention. Drive up the flock dur
ing the morning and night for couple
of days and milk out the udders that
seem especially full Unless attention
Is given at this time the best ewes
will be ruined for 1t is only the best
ewes that will need the attention. II
the flock is in good condition they
should be kept on rather poor pasture
Tor the summer until the fore part OF
August, when they should be turned
onto the best pasture that Is obtain
able on the farm. This should be done
about 10 days before turning in the
ram. and if the ewes are not In the
best of condition they may to advan-
tage be given a little grain. This
method of handling the eve flock is
what is known as flushing" and it re-
suits in nearly all of the ewes breed
ing within one weeks time and also
results in greater percentage Of
twins. The ram should be kept from
the eve flock during the summer and

Institute at jackson

The annual meet of the West Ten
nessee Farmers Institute was held
last week at Jackson. Tuesday was
opening day. AT the morning session
the crowd was not as large as usual
but the noon trains made up the short
age. and the spacious hall was filled
to overlooking. The auditorium on
the farm not being completed, the
meeting was held in the Baptist Uni
versity auditorium.
r. I. DeBerry, the president, was
at his post, and the old wheel horse
j. D. Johnston was at the secretary's
table.
The usual program on such occa-
sions was carried out. The speakers
were mostly experts from the agri-
cultural colleges. Prof. H. A. Nor
gan is the nestor of Tennessee lee
turers. He is a talker from away
back, and what he does not know or
seem to know has never been told.
The farm is mecca for all dele
gates. The street cars now reach
farm, and all times during the three
days a crowd was coming and going.
Cutting sorghum by a binder and
filing the silos was continuously in
operation, besides other work on the
farm.
Pres. k. T. DeBerry was reelected
president after short but rapid fire
contest. Of course Joe Johnston was
reelected secretary.
Commissioner Peck was not pres
ent, as he was at Washington repre-
senting the Governor at the meeting
Of the governors to consider the cot
ton situation.
There were between twelve and fif-
teen hundred delegates present. The
ladies had their meetings, together
with the girls canning clubs. The
boys corn clubs also have their or
ganization. Demonstrations in all
these lines were had, as also the use
of the hog cholera serum, by the
state veterinarian.

What a royal plant it is! The

We cannot see any roseate hue
to the present prospect of i'm
provement on the cotton ques-
ton. There can be no money in
the South to spend for the manu-
featured products. The demand
for cotton and all other goods
will cease in the South unless the
consumer has money to pay for
them. They cannot get money
ont Of cotton. There will be no
money paid for cotton except to
the merchant who takes it in on
his debts. He will be compelled
to sell at some price to meet the
calls of the merchant from whom
ne purchased his goods. That
money will 60 to the Northern
merchant and manufacturer. The
cotton thus Disposal of will fill
all the orders from our home
mills, and only such distressed
cotton will be sold. All that does
not bring dollar to the man who
may have a number of bales
stored under his shed. The cot
ton mills will not manufacture
faster than they can sell. Until
a market is opened in Europe
there is no one to buy. The
amount of cotton goods used in
the North at this season of the
year will not be but a small
part of the usual number of bales
consumed in this country. All
the cotton held is that much
money tied up. which normally
is in circulation. The banks
have not enough money to loan
on the best of security, to any,
thing like cover the stored cot
ton. The renter who has eaten
up his crop already is the only
one who is on easy street. The
merchants and banks are holding
the bag.

off the ground and a free circulation
of air passes through the shock, UNI
der which conditions first-class prod.
uct may be obtained. The hay may
then be left upon these till thoroughly
cured. Soy-beans and cow-peas, the
hardest of the summer hay crops tc
cure, may be cut in the morning and
put into shocks in the afternoon of the
same day with the use of these frames.
Alfalfa and other hays of the brightest
and best quality can be made when
they are used. But best of all there Is
practically no loss of any kind with
them.
These frames may be made from
1x3-inch material. AS shown in the
illustration, they are made by lacking
three sixfeet lengths of this material
together in the form of triangle, two
of which are then placed together as
shown in the cut. Two other pieces
laid across the ground parts of the tri-
angles complete the frame. From four
to six per acre of these will be neces-
sary for good crops of hay, but with
proper care will last a long time.
There should be enough hay saved by
the frames every year to more than
pay for them. c. Pridmc-e, Uni.
versity of Tennessee.

Curing the hay crops so as to get
firstclass product is practice that is
worthy of the careful attention of ev-
cry farmer growing such crops. Too
often cutting is delayed till the plants
are SO ripe that large per cent of the
leaves fall off in the handling, and the
product then Is inferior in quality. Es
pecially does this apply to such crops
as the soy-bean, cow-pea and alfalfa.
In which cases the leaves form approx
imately half the weight of the entire
plant And when the leaves are lost,
the most valuable part Of the plants
is gone for it has been shown that
little more than three-fourths of the
food nutriments of the plant Is In the
leaves. To get the best quality of hay.
the crops must be cut relatively early
In stage of maturity and cured in
cocks instead of parching in the swath
as is too commonly done.
To aid In the curing Of the crop
when 1t Is cut comparatively green,
and raked before it has been parched
in the swath, it is recommended that
the hay be raked when .wilted and
placed upon racks or frames. These
are so made that when the hay Is
placed over and around them II is kept
