THE ALLIES VIEW.
(By Albert w. Bryce.)

Now. with the reopening Of the
fighting season, with dry roads and
fields and fair skies, a great change
is sure to come over the spirit and
tactics Of either army or both. The
deadlock must be broken. One side
or the other must begin vigorous
campaign. One must begin to ad-
vance and the other to fall back be-
fore 1t. The speculative interest,
therefore, turns on the question as
to which side can exert the greater
pressure on the other. 1t will be partly
matter of generalship. the superior
energy of mind of Juffre and French
on the one hand or of Won Kluck-
If he be still there-and the Grow n
Prince-unless he is a prisoner some
where else-on the other The com.
manders on either side must furnish
the impulse.
But the leadership will not be every
thing. What new resources of men
and material can the Germans and
the Allies put into the field? This is
the crucial matter and it is the one
on which it is easiest to guess and
hardest to Judge. There can be little
doubt that Great Britain has vast
numbers of men about ready to place
In the field. Kitchener's million, as
the new British army is called, has
been passing over to France and the
battle front multitudinously in the
last week or two. This accession of
strength accounts for an EXCHANGED
activity and the success noticeable.

1t IS also just like the gentlemen Of
the pro-English press not to tell their
readers that at the same time in Bos-

RED CLOVER AND
SOIL FERTILITY

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Expan-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There is a cornfield in Sewer coun-
ty which contains a surprise for most
visitors. 1t is not the corn itself,
though it promises an excellent yield
1t is the stand of red clover growing
in the corn-almOst ideal, both in
stand and size. 1t is the only field of
the kind in the community. Why?
Why has not the sowing of red clo-
yer at the last cultivation become a
common practice throughout the
state? Because it has too often
failed. Why did this particular crop
succeed? There are several factors
involved-late cultivation, medium
thin stand of corn, favorable season,
etc
1t was no mere coincidence that this
clover should be found only in a new
ground. 1t just happened that in the
same field there was some old land
where the clover was practically a
failure. The newer the land the bet
ter the clover.
How can old lands be made new?
Vegetable matter, phosphate and lime.

THIRD MIDWINTER
FAT STOCK SHOW
Wlll Be Held at the University of Ten
nessee January oath to goth.

Plans have been made for the hold
Eng of the Third MidWinter Fat Stock
Show at the University Farm, Knox
vile, during the week of January
24-29. This show has now passed be-
yond the experimental stage. Last
years show exceeded the expectations
of those who had it in charge.
The object of the show is to encour-
age farmers Of Tennessee to show
such fat animals as they may be in
tending to finish and sell on the win
ter market, or at least to show the
best animals they are fattening dur
ang the winter. 1t is a show that the
average man can compete in. Regis
tered animals are not needed. Any
animal that shows one or more cross
es of any pure breed may compete for
premiums The primary object of the
show is to create an interest in grade
cattle, sheep and hogs among farmers
Of this state.
The show is a splendid school for
the young feeder who wishes to learn
the best types and the best methods of
finishing cattle for the market and for
show purposes. Practice in fitting
animals is excellent training for the
boys of the farm; and it leads them
toward the farm instead of away from
#, and educates them in the right
kind of farming.
The judges will be disinterested
men who are thoroughly competent to
pass on the animals.
Begin now to fit your animals for
the show, and write to the Animal
Husbandry Department, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville, at an early date
and let them know what animals you
wish to enter.

INCUBATION OF ALFALFA

sion, University of Tennessee.)
incubation catches" much more
easily upon the roots of young alfalfa
plants than upon old ones. With age
they seem to develop a resisting power
toward the tiny germ. At any rate,
it is very difficult to inoculate old
alfalfa. 1t is doubtful if it can become
completely infected if the germ is abb
sent at the time of termination.
The practical application of the fact
simply means that greater care should
be taken to supply inoculating material
in the early stages of growth, and to
supply it generously. Instead of 200
pounds of infected dirt, it would al
ways be safer to use 300 or even 400
pounds. More would not hurt, where
it can be easily obtained, as is often
the case. Dirt is cheap" and inocu-
lation essential.

CAN WILD ONIONS
BE ERADICATED?

(By j. c. McAmis, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee) -
"Can wild onions be eradicated ~
This question is frequently asked. If
an affirmative reply is given, it is
usually received with serious doubts,
and often with ridicule
The United States Department of
Agriculture, in its Weekly News Let
ter of November 8, says that they can,
and points the way. The essential
measure of the recommendation is late
fall blowing for winter grains. The
result is to destroy the fall crop of
onions, if completely turned under.
Unfortunately there is also a spring
crop of unions.
The Tennessee Experiment Station
has found that, in order to destroy
both crops, the land must not only be
turned in late October, or early No
vember, but must be rebroken in late
February, or in early March. In each
case the blowing must be done before
the side bulbs have been formed. 1t
may be necessary to continue for more
than one season, and follow with sum
mer crop.
1t necessarily excludes the use of
a winter crop. Expensive? Yes, but
30 are the onions.

time. Beautifully packed glass jars of

DEVELOPING YOUNG STOCK.

Not enough attention is paid by the
average breeder of pure bred stock in
developing his young animals up to
the time they are of a serviceable age.
Good breeding is very essential, but
an animal of. the best breeding if not
properly developed while young will
never be looked upon with favor by
friends of the breed. 1t is never wise
to pamper animals that are expected
to have a great future in the breeding
herd, but it is just as bad to turn them
out to rustic for their living. From
the sellers standpoint it is infinitely
worse, for he soon finds that nobody
wants an understood and poorly devel-
Oped animal and that on the other
hand he can not resist buying a
growthy. we'll developed on.

A STORY OF TWO
FARMER NEIGHBOIRS
(By G. d. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

Wy -. ~ LOWGy blNlolOl VI
University of Tennessee.)
This is a tale of two Tennessee
farmers. They are neighbors. We
shall call one of them Mr.. Lee and the
other Mr.. Jackson, because these are
not their names.
They each possess rather large
areas of grazing land, which for many
years they have devoted to the pro-
duction of beef cattle, selling their
stock in the fall as feeders"
About five years ago Mr.. Lee pur-
chased a registered beef bull of good
type. Since that time he has used this
bull and another equally as good on
his herd of grade females.
During the same time Mr.. Jackson
has continued to use grade bulls Of
varying individuality on his females.
An observation and study of their
product for the past two years at mar
keting time revealed the following:
Mr.. Lee had each year a carload Of
two-year-old feeder steers, that weigh
ed from 800 to 900 pounds, for which
an out of the state buyer was glad to
pay him ~ cents per pound.
Mr.. Jackson has also had a carload
for sale each of these years, but they
were three-year-olds and weighed no
more than Mr.. Lees two-year-olds,
For these medium grade and scrub
steers Mr.. Jackson had difficulty in
obtaining cents per pound, for the
past two years.
What does this mean? Mr.. Lee was
able to make his steers weigh as much
at two years of age as Mr.. Jackson at
three years old, thus saving full
years keep. They were also of suffi-
GENTLY better quality and type to out
sell his neighbours production by ~
cents per pound.
Moral Buy better bull.

Young-Instruction Given BY Lee
lures, Demonstrations and Practice.
; The seventeenth annual short
course in agriculture will be held on
the farm of the University of Tennes-
see, Knoxville, from January to Feb
ruary 26. The first month will be de-
voted to soils, fertilizers and crops,
and live stock; the second month will
be devoted to dairying and fruit and
truck growing. All or any part of
this work may be taken by the stu
dent. The course is free, and is open
10 men and women, old and young.
There is an excellent corps of teach
ers in the College of Agriculture. The
instruction is given by lectures, de-
monstrations and practice. The ex-
perimental plots and the different
GLASSES of live stock on the University
Farm are used to illustrate the points
brought out in the lectures. During
the last week in January, the Annual
Midwinter Fat Stock Show is held at
kAO " NV SHY L al anu LLlO
shown are available for use in stock
judging classes.
This is a comparatively dull season
on the farm, and the time devoted to
the course could not be more profit
ably spent; for the short course means
to the farmer that besides learning les
sons of economy he will ascertain how
he may increase his profits through
improved methods of agriculture.
Every side of farm life is touched upon
in the short course.
The railroads will give reduced
rates to the short course. Board and
lodging in private houses costs about
$500 or $3.50 a week. The University
makes no charge whatever for the in
struction given, so that the necessary
outlay is exceedingly small for the
benefit to be derived from the short
course.
