acres of farm land. left him by a Mr..

where he was to lay claim to the es-

him by the will of the deceased West

the Davenport man since that time,
and an effort was made by Miss Has

written to the county auditor of How
ard county. where Kokomo is located,
to locate the missing Cline. The al
legged estate was mentioned in the
communication, and as Cline was IN
known to the auditor, the letter was
published in the Kokomo newspapers.

seems to know little about saving the

appearances of the letter, not averse
to taking credit for saving Westphal's
life and also to taking the estate. Miss

SOIL ST1MULAN7S AND
HOW TO USE THEM
(By J. G. McAmis, Division Of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By J. G. McAmis, Division Of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee)
Temporarily, soils may be made to
increase in production and at the same
time decrease in plant food. In fact,
bumper crops of grains are always &C
companied by maximum outgo Of fer
tility. There is four times as much
plant food in hundred-bushel corn
crop as in one of twenty-five.
Intensive tillage, deep blowing, thor
ough cultivation, all increase crops,
because they make plant food avail.
able, but they add no plant food to the
soil They help to take 1t away.
Fertilizers often enable crops to
take out more potash, phosphorus, and
nitrogen, particularly nitrogen, than the
fertilizers themselves contain. They
may increase production, but decrease
total plant food
Two tons OF limestone should be ap.
piled to the majority of acres in Ten
nessee. 1t places potash and phos-
phorus in reach Of plants, but 1t adds
none to the SOIL 1t does not even add
nitrogen, unless legumes are intro.
duced to the cropping system to be
plowed under or fed and the manure
returned to the land.
These things are good: intensive til.
lage, fertilizers, lime-all have a place
in soil-building. Making plant food
available is the farmers business. So
is making soils durable and perma-
nent. Worn soils are the natural re-
suits of placing fertility in reach only
of soil-robbing crops-grains, corn,
cotton, tobacco, etc. Soi-building crops
have not received their share Of the
benefits.
1t is a necessary thing to make
plant foods available by all possible
agencies, but they should be directed
first toward the increased production
of soil-building crops; red clover espe-
cially, and then to grains. 1t is more
important to have ideal preparation of
the soil for fall-sown clovers than ii
is for spring-planted corn. Fertilizers.
which in the past have been saved re.
ligiously for wheat and corn, should be
applied generously to peas beans, red
and crimson clover SO should lime.
When farmers decide to feed their
soils before they demand the work
OF producing corn crop instead Of
waiting until afterWard to replace the
soil fertility taken out by the corn,
then soils will be durable.

Many Farmers Decide to Grow
Less Cotton and @Ore Cattle
New Life in the Work
EXCELLENT RESULTS OBTAINED
Bankers Offer to Loan Farmers Of the
County $4,000 at a Reduced Rate Of
Interest on Long Time Notes With
Which to Buy Cattle.
(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)


sion, University of Tennessee.)
Sentiment in favor Of better live
stock is rapidly developing into action.
Gibson county farmers have decided
to grow less cotton and more cattle. A
movement started a few weeks ago
amongst the bankers of the county re-
suited in their offer to loan the farm
ers $15,00000 at reduced rate of in
terest on long time notes. This slim
ulated the farmers into immediate &C.
ton. A committee was appointed to
decide whether or not efforts should
be confined to one breed of cattle and
II so, which one. The committee de-
cided unanimously in favor of the
Hereford. A buying committee was
appointed and as soon as cattle could
be located they started after them.
Each banker looked after his own pa
irons. Notes were given by the farm
ers, placing at the disposal of the
buying committee sums varying in
amounts according to the kind and
number of cattle wanted. The notes
were made for $4,000 for bulls, and
100000 for bred heifers and cows, so
that there would be a safe margin.
The bankers decided to allow one OF
their number to handle the entire sum.
When all of the notes were in, each
Of the other banks mailed checks for
the respective amounts to the bank
selected and the buying committee,
drew a draft on this bank for the en-
tire amount.
The cattle were located in Western
Missouri and consisted of bulls rang
ing in ages from IL to IS months, bredI
heifers, and number of cows with
calves at foot and bred again, totaling
s. head exclusive of the young calves.l
They arrived home in excellent shape
and with two more calves than they
started with, both in good spirits.
These cattle were bought in small
lots; on the average, not more than
two head going to one man. Upon
their arrival home they were greeted
by very, much excited crowd. AS
they marched up the main street Of
town they created more excitement
than a circus parade.
Prices were adjusted by the COM
mitee according to relative values Of
animals, and a price placed upon each
animal The freight costs and other
expenses were prorateI in accordance
with the prices on animals since the
prices cOrresponded very well with
the size and weight Of animals. The
average cost, including all expenses,
was $4,000 per head

GARDEN PLANTING
DURING SEPTEMBER

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University Of Tennessee.)
If the garden is as rich as 1t ought
to be there is yet time to grow a crop
of radish and of mustard. Kale and
potato onions can be planted for win
ter use and lettuce will grow large
enough for cutting, though it caDnot
head before freezing weather
The limiting factors in fall garden
ing are soil fertility and moisture
September is usually a dry month in
Tennessee, but in fall gardening we
must take a chance. If the seed eau
be sown when the land is in the right
moisture condition, and the garden is
thoroughly cultivated, the result will
in almost all cases justify the work
But even with perfect moisture condi.
tons vegetables will not thrive unless
there is an abundance of liant food.
Manure the garden heavily, plow deep
and fine the soil thoroughly. One i'm
portant difference between the spring
and fall garden is that in the spring
there is constantly increasing warmth,
favoring the growth Of the vegetables,
while in the fall the heat becomes less
from day to day, reducing the vitality
of the plants until there comes a kill
ing frost.
The small round varieties of radish,
such as TWenty-Day Forcing and Rap
i'd Red, are best for September sow
ing. Wayahead and lettuce, Chinese
and Dwarf Curled Scotch
Kale are good varieties Mu,tipier
onions are chiefly used, tn lgh bulbs
of yellow Dauyers are very sali5frc
