the depressed walk involved certain
features of planting and public use
which were particularly attractive
Under the Manning plan there would
nave been a fringe of short hedge
along the western curb and a short
terrace to the walk covered by matri-
mony vine. The walk would have
been sufficiently below the level of the
street to provide privacy for those sit
ting upon the benches or walking along
the Front and would have been a safe
guard for children.
Park Commissioner Taylor's view.
however, was that material now being
available, there were stronger reasons
now for creating the walk along the
top of the embankment
1000 Tons of Fill
10 date approximately 1000 tons of
earth have been dumped over the en-
bankment north of 'Hardscrabble"
under the direction of the park de-
partment. This dirt is being hauled to
the point by great motor trucks from
the excavations ON the site of the pro
posed PennsY freight station in South
Second street.
Commissioner Taylor has planned
to begin the planting of shrubbery
and vines incident to the treatment of
the river slopes just as soon as the
weather permits.
AS soon as the frost is out of the
ground we Will begin the treatment of
the embankment," said he This. of
course, will be followed by the nIant-
ing. The planting scheme includes
the setting out of shrubbery, matri-
mony vine and barbary bushes in
such way as TO provide suppbrt to
the slopes and help beautify the en-
Dankment at the same time.'

WORK MOVES RAPIDLY
ON RIVER FRONT FILL

Park Commissioner Taylor is show
ing much energy in the rough filling
of the river embankment north OF the
"Hardscrabble' district. Last summer
there was a question as to whether
sufficient filing material would be
available and after a conference be-
tween Commissioner Taylor and the
city's landscape architect, Warren H.
Manning, of Boston. it was decided to
create depressed walk in that section
of the front as the best form of treat
mcnt. Late in the fall some work
was done on this walk in the vicinity
of Muench street, but subsequently
when Commissioner Taylor found it
possible to get filling material from
the excavation for the union freight
station he abandoned the depressed
walk plan and proceeded to fill out
width sufficient to provide walk on
a level with the street beyond the
western curb line.
The change was a disappointment to
many people in view of the fact that

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion of waste and
refuse in the stomach, ferment-
ing in the bowels, generates poi
sonous gases that occasion dis
tress and invite serious illness.
Health and comfort demand that
this congestion be speedily re-
lieved and the foul mass expelled,
The well-founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents is
overcome by using the combina-
tion of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of DIR. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night
brings relief next morning, with
out discomfort or inconvenience.
A free trial bottle can be obtained
by writing to DIR. w. B. Caldwell,
462 Washington ST., Monticello,
Ills.

SOIL PREPARATION FOR
"CORN LAND" WHEAT

(By J. G. McAmis, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Whatever may be said against the
practice, it Is common in many places
in Tennessee to follow corn with
wheat. The soil is often prepared SIM
ply by discing thoroughly where, after
the corn is removed, the land is left
reasonably clean because Of low fer
tility, dry seasons and late cultivation.
Usually on richer land, stalks, weeds,
and grass will not permit a suitable
preparation by only discing, SO that It
Is necessary to turn the soil.
All grains need deep but firm seed
bed. To obtain It some notifications
to each OF the above methods of soil
preparation are necessary II the land
is rolling and prepared by discing
alone, there is danger Of washing, be-
cause there ls not SUFFICIENT depth to
absorb the abundant winter rains. The
wheat is sown too late, the preceding
crop has left the soil with too little fer
tility and moisture to form a cover
sufficient TO hold the land. II 1t Is
turned. there is little time for settling
by rains before the wheat is sown.
Breaking with the subsoil pillow Is
the way out of the first condition.
Depth may be obtained and yet leave
the soil reasonably firm by running
the subsoil pillow under each corn row
and once in the middle. Then follow
with disc. The depth obtained will
prevent washing until the crop 10 well
established.
Sometimes the stalks and grass
must be turned. The soil Is left rea-
sonably loose with layer or more Of
loose vegetable matter, which decays
slowly between the top soil and the
Esubsoil. Wheat roots naturally 30
deeper into the subs0il than we thInk,
but they can not cross this space.
Therefore, II turning u absolutely
necessary, disc we'll beforehand 20 1aix
the vegetable matter with the soil and
follow with the roller In order to give
ArTnness. tS4 s5-''m Sps E@a

SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

~
(By R. M. Murphy, Division OF Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.l .
On September SOth the Campbell
ville shorthorn Breeders Association
held their second annual sale Of regis
tered Shorthorn cattle. CampbellvilIe
Is small town located In the center
Of good farming community, in Giles
county, fifteen miles from the county
seat, Pulaski. This Association Is Of
the type that promises to do much to-
ward the improvement Of livestock.
II is a community organization, tho
outgrowth Of the efforts of few men
la the community who realized the iin-
portance Of organization. They have
q fine grazing country, excellent pas
lures, good water and they wanted
good cattle. Instead Of every man
buying a different breed as his fancy
might have suggested, they got to-
gether and decided that as a commu-
nifty they would breed Shorthorns. AS
q result, they already have a good
start and are getting excellent adver-
Using at minimum cost. None OF
the members have herds sufficiently
large to attract very much attention,
and yet, by combining their offerings.
they are able to have an attractive
sale annually. The herds vary In size
from fifteen breeding cows down to
two or three, their intention being to
grow into the business as they can
afford to,
The foundation animals were not
fancily bred and bought at high prices,
but now that they are getting started
they have purchased for the use OF
the community an excellent young
herd bull. No one of them could hard
ly have afforded this young bull for
his own personal use, but as COM
munity they can have him available
at but a small cost to any one. In
this way they are taking advantage
of the most rapid and most economical
method of Improvement As the years
60 by the value Of this association
will greatly increase. The community
will gain reputation for good cattle.
Their cattle will become more and
more uniform, unlike the average COM
munity, which has a general mixture
of every breed and a reputation for
nothing enviable. The need Of Ending
a market will disappear, the market
will be hunting for them.
