Good roads will bring the farmer
closer to the town. He can be more

to take his family to church. and
the children will have better roads

consolidation, which is also being
urged by educational leaders, can
be furthered if good roads are ex-
tended throughout the county.

BREAK RECORDS
AT POLYTECHNIC

Things have been moving with 80
much enthusiasm at Polytechnic for
the past two weeks that time has
e OF been taken to inform the outside
world of happenings at the school
since the beginning of the year.
The last announcement from the
office stated that the present en-
rollment is sixteen more than 1t was
one year ago. Another encouraging
feature of the work is that each
student is enrolled for the full five
months. Parents are realizing as
never before that the cheapest educat'
ion after all is to send the child TO
school for the full school year, in
stead of stopping him from school
AZ soon as spring comes. 1t is true
that few boys will be called upon
to help put in the crop which will
cause them to miss possibly five to
ten days, but this is no excuse for
the student to miss half term and
fail to complete his years work.
Those who have to be out for few
d avs in early spring. will be given
extra time and attention when they

Although the work of these orRanl

the work of the present term prove

"COrnstalk Disease"
(By M. Jacob

OlGAbIOI VA OAlN CAtA f~AN'ANJ
of Tennessee every year from farm
ers throughout the State asking for
information with reference to the
loss of cattle from pasturing on
cornstalk fields. From the number
OF inquiries received. it is evident
that the annual loss from this sour e
is rapidly increasing, and the quest
ion has assumed considerable econo.
mic importance to the live stock
interests of the state.
The affection is usually referred
to as cornstalk disease" 1t has
been studied by various Investigators,
and almost every one has arrived at
a different conclusion as to its cause.
None of these conclusions can a.
yet be accepted. Some investigators
are inclined to believe that there Is
a close relation between this so-calIed
cornstalk disease and highly fatal
infectious disease technically known
as hemorrhagic septicaemia, but our
observations do not warrant this
belief.
In the interest of cattle feeders.
the following facts and suggestions
are presented:
/. Many cattle die in Tennessee
every year as a result of pasturing
on cornstalk fields.
2. Young cattle fed exclusively
on cornstalk fields seem to be most
commonly affected.
3. Stalks cut early, and shocked
and cured properly, do not produce
any bad eff cts.
4. The foregoing fact indicates
that stalks may undergo some change
when allowed to remain in the field,
which under certain conditions
makes them poisonous to cattle.
5. The nature of the poisonous
substance is not thoroughly under.
stood.
6. This is not contagious disease.
7. The affected animal may die
within from few hours to several
days after the symptoms begin to
appear; death is most likely to
occur within the first twentv-four
hours.
8. After the symptoms have fully
developed. treatment does very little
good.
8. II the symptoms are recognized
early enough, an active purge, with
two pounds of Epson salts or one
quart of raw linseed oil, for a mature
animal. should be given. Later
the animal may have difficulty in
swallowing, and then it is dangerous
to drench.
10. It is always safer to cut the
stalks early and cure properly, or,
better, make into silage, before
feeding.
II. If it is necessary to place
cattle or a cornstalk field. the dam
ger should be reduced by the feeding
of daily grain ration; and the
cattle should be closely watched 50
that they NAV be removed and
treated promptly if any evidence Of
ickness appear.
IL, Horses also are susceptible,
10. Experiments in the feeding
to cattle of corn smut, the sooty
disease common to corn, indicate
that smut does not produce the So
called cornstalk disease.
IA. Indications point to the con-
clusion that the trouble does not
occur on all cornstalk fields. 1t is
therefore suggested that before the
herd is put on a cornstalk field. q
few less valuable animals be turned
in as a test.
Is. The Tennessee Experiment
Station will welcome reports OF any
observations of sickness in animals
fed on cornstalk fields.

Movement Growing In South For
New Orleans Plan.
The plan of New Orleans of adopt
ing The New Orleans Book" as text
book IN the public schools of the city
is being favorably considered by a
number of southern cities and probably
will be adopted by many of them.
THE New Orleans Book which was
made Il part of the curriculum of the
public schools is an intimate, pictur-
eslue story of the city designed to IA
nliliarize the children with the life of
the place in which they live, giving
them an understanding of its govern
ment, institutions and traditions. Dur
ing the months in which the book has
been in use it has proved u real worth
and of absorbing interest The idea
has been commented upon editoriaily
very widely throughout the south and
in many cities, including Louisville.
Chattanooga and Atlanta. 1t has been
suggested that n similar book be i'll
Toduced in their respective public
schools
An interesting aspect of this idea
is the manner in which the informa-
tion to be derived in this study has
been connected with the Dixie and
other highways which have been built
or are now under course of construc-
ton in the south The sections and
cities through which every one of the
principal highways. the Dixie, the
Jackson. the General Forrest, passes
are rich in history and legend,
There is in the south much antici.
patton of increase in tourist travel
from other sections of the country
when these highways are completed.
The view which I Louisville paper
takes of this situation is typical and
is as follows:
why not Il Louisville book? The
history of Louisville is not without
interest, its present not without
achievement in many fields and prom

NEGRO BELIEVED TO
Be BURGLAR CAUGHT
Goods Stolen From Norton and
German Store Traced
and Recovered

Marietta has been the scene of
several daring burglaries the past
two weeks, the German Store, Nor
ton Hardware Company and Dobbs
Pressing Shop being the victims
They entered Norton Hardware
Co. s store at the front door, pricing
off heavy pad lock and breaking
the other lock. They stole five pis-
tolls and some silverware which led
to the arrest of negro giving his
name as M. Whitaker and address as
Chattanooga
Immediately after they got in
Norton Hardware Co. Mr.. Norton
furnished Sheriff Swanson with
numbers of the stolen revolvers, he
in turn gave these numbers to the
Atlanta detectives who soon located
three of the revolvers in pawn shops
and with the aid of the pawn broker
the negro who pawned the guns was
arrested and brought to Marietta.
hC ACSAO absolutely IS1uS0u ~
talk but Sheriff Swanson, Deputy
George Hicks and Bill Bishop got
busy and soon began to recover all
kinds of stolen goods. They found
coat at John Holmes house where
Whitaker had been staying which
proved to be Claud Bishops. Then
they located Mr.. Cicero Dobbs' over
coat in a pawn shop in Atlanta,
then in some way they found an
express receipt showing that Whita-
ker had expressed to suit cases to
a woman in Chattanooga.
Tuesday morning deputies Hicks
and Bishop with Mr.. Dobbs left for
Chattanooga, returning Wednesday
afternoon with the suit cases which
proved to be those stolen fom the
German Store and had several coats
in them, also a set of silverware sto-
len from Norton Hardware Co.
This negroe is undoubtedly the
smoothest crook that has been in this
part of the country and while he
must have had help all parties con-
cerned are heaving a sigh of relief
since the culprit is behind the bars
