In a sequestered Dump lived two

FARMERS ARE TAKING ADVAN-
TAGE OF THE FAIR Wealth
Err TO PLANT CROP.
Tuesdays Daily

Dat owing is on in earnest among
the farmers of Maury county. The
fair weather of Sunday and Monday
has prepared the land for working
and disc harrows are busy putting it
in shape for the oat crop. Glover and
grasses are also being sown. If the
weather continues fair until the end
of the week practically all of the oat
crop of the county will be in the
ground. The acreage is going to be
heavy, due largely to the shortage of
the corn crop. Pastures are going to
be problem with the farmers of the
county this year and so will hay. The
clover sown last spring was a COM
plete failure and there will not there
fore be any clover to cut or pasture.

kept the soil fresh and free from
weeds until the first fruit began to
ripen."
Miss Erin Westbrook, the champion
tomato grower of Alabama, grew her
fruit in practically the same way, but
gave some additional suggestions.
She stated that she grew them on
light, sandy loan, using Beauty seed.
After they had grown until they were
seven or eight inches high, the toma-
toes were transplated in the open
field, which had been turned eight
inches deep in the early spring and
allowed to stand for some time. After
having been narrowed and bedded
well, barn yard manure was spread
broadcast, and on this 40 pounds of
commercial fertilizer and 100 pounds
Of nitrate of soda were used The
plants were then set three inches
deep, four feet apart. They were
narrowed once and plowed three
times, the first time deep and the 9th
er two shallow. They were also hoed
twice. Instead Of being staked they
were allowed to bush out and spread
over the ground. Cultivation was
stopped when the tomatoes were
twenty to twenty-four inches high
and began to have small ones on
them. Miss Westbrook put special
emphasis on keeping out all the
weeds. When the worms began to
eat on them, a mixture Of wheat bran,
sugar and paris green was prepared
and sprinkled lightly in circles around
the plants.

cult preparation at the Indianapolis
oval, where Lon Mcdonald and his
assistants are getting ready for the
annual harness battles of the grand
old circuit. He is this big stables
hope in the pacing classics for I'M
marked but very fast amblers. John
W. Alexander, the pacing druggist of
Lynnville, Tenn, and one of Giles
county's live wires in pacerdom, owns
Climax Gentry and has made a deal
with Mcdonald to race him. This
horse is slated by the wise set to
race around 2:O5 or better, and il
his races at the last state fair have
any significance, he is sure some
horse" John Fitzgerald, of Ina Star
and Grey Gem fame, put the kinder
garten training into his head and
hide, and while he managed" to cap
ture part of the money in two of the
stakes at Nashville it was easy to see
that he was much better than 2:10
PAGER. He was right upon a horse
that won a heat around 2:10 and the
only explanation of his failure to an
mex the heat and a record was that
his driver didn't care to risk the
strain of a hard drive on a horse
who had been to the races so few
times. Anyhow Mcdonald is first
class trainer, and a skillful driver,
and if this son of John R. Gentry
races according to his promise he
will be heard from at the top of the
summaries. Representing as he does,
a sort of climax in pacing horse
breeding, being by the best pacing
sire tracing to George Wilkes out of a
mare bred in the purple of Tennessee
pacing blood, he should be a fitting
successor to the great PAGERS that
have made old Tennessee famous.
Lon Mcdonald can team a PAGER too,
don't forget that.

HEAVILY FINED FOR

STATE WARDEN DETERMINED TO
ENFORCE THE GAME
STATUTES.

The first persons to incur the pen
atty of violating the recently enact
ed Tennessee law prohibiting the
shooting of a fox with a gun were
Kess Walker and Howard Creech,
who recently, in the court of Esq.
c. E. Riggs, a justice of the peace of
Hamblen county, pleaded guilty to
shooting a fox on the lands of Joe
White. The justice fined each of the
defendants $40 and costs. The ar
rests were made by J. N. Cameron, a
local warden.
State Warden w. D. Houser says
that his department has been some
what lenient with persons who have
violated this law for the protection
of fur-bearing animals, as the law has
not been generally understood, bat
that he will now give instructions for
the rigid enforcement of the law. He
also says that he is not only DESTROYS
of enforcing the laws for the protec.
ton of game and fish, but, from the
reports that have come to him from
farmers, and the government reports
he believes that fur-bearing animals
are a great asset to farmers in de
stroying pests, such as field mice,
ground squirrel, moles and the like
He also says that from now on Wig
orous methods will be employed to
enforce the law against dynamiting
fish.

To stimulate the tomato growers of
Maury county and to tell them the
most modern ana uptodate methods
of cultivation, John j. Wilson, mana
ger of the Columbia Canning Co.,
wrote to the prize winners Of the to-
mato clubs of Ala bama and South
Carolina. They very courteously re-
piled and told him the way that they
had cultivated their crops.
Miss Lizzie Kelly, Of Union, S. c.,
who grew 4,575 pounds of tomatoes
upon one-tenth of an acre of ground,
the equivalent of about 21A tons to
an acre, wrote Mr.. Wilson as fol-
lows: My tomatoes were grown
upon a deep, sandy soil of medium
fertility l used the Stone and Per-
lection variety of fseeds, sowing them
in boxes in March and keeping them
in the sunshine. When they were
about six or eight inches high, they
were transplanted to the open field
which had been plowed deep in the
early spring. A small amount Of high
grade fertilizer was used. The plants
were set in about four inches deep
furrow below the level of the ground.
They were set three feet each way,
and were cultivated with a harrow
and hoe. Another light application
Of fertilizer was made later in the
season and some nitrate of soda was
used with it. The harrow should be
used very often so as to keep the soil
loose and fresh. When the plants
were some size, / staked them, run
ming Irvine thread on each side of
the stick to keep the vines perfectly
straight. I pruned them by break
ing off the lower limbs or suckers. l
