HENDERSON COUNTY
FARMERS ATTENDED
MEETING AT JACKSON

Thursday of last week was
Henderson county day at the
West Tennessee Agricultural
Experiment Station, jackson,
and Notwithstanding unfavorable
weather conditions, enough Of
farmers and stockmen took ad-
vantage of the opportunity that
three coaches were comfortably
filed.
Reaching Jackson at about
$50 a. m, street cars were in
waiting and most of the crowd
made no stop in the city but
went at once to the Experiment
Station grounds, which lie about
two miles west of Jackson and
approximately one half mile
from the end of the Hollywood
car line--a walk over road and
level ground, which is not at all
inconvenient.
At once upon entering the
Station grounds, the crowd was
taken in charge by Superintend-
ent Roberts who as he always
does by his readiness with infor-
nation, soon demonstrated that
in giving station facts he is the
right man in the right place.
After some explanations in re-
gard to Alfalfa, and stopping at
the auditorium for the purpose
of leaving coats and lunches and
tanking up'' with ice water,
the first objective point was the
pasture where were collected
under TIE trees Oh one side the
cows and heifers Of the Holstien
herd. The bull Of this herd is a
magnificent animal, now four
years old and weighing 2,45O
pounds. The average COW, in
ordinary condition weighs 1900
pounds, yet the Holstien is not
classed as desirable for beef.
We shall not attempt to give the
milk and butter records of these
fine Holstien cows but can say
that the maximum of milk per
day is about nine gallons and
the ordinary butter production
playing right around 100 pounds
per month. We were informed
that calves from this Holstien
herd are valued and easily sold
at $3.50 each. Henderson county
did not offer any buyers on that
day.
The stations at Knoxville and
jackson send out literature Civ
ing account of the work done by
them, hence we shall not at
tempt to recount the statements
made by Superintendent Rob
erts and his assistant, Mr.. Camp
bell, but from it all we gather
as the leading fact the use of
the llgumes in the preservation
and building up Of the lands in
