Warning to Farmers.

~
What may be the means OF saving
the farmers over the state of hun
dreds of dollars--perhaps thousands
is the warning sounded by R. H. Muir
ply of the division of extension of the
University Of Tennessee. He urges
the farmers to beware of tricky
agents.. who go over the state with
''the best silo made" for sale, and with
other schemes for buying live stock.
He says that many farmers have been
deceived by such artists" when, with
little vision of extension, such mis-
takes could have been avoided.
The experts in the division of ex-
tension of the University of Tonnes
see are rendering valuable aid to the
farmers over the state. and will gladly
furnish information and assistance in
selecting silos and in the selection OF
suitable breeds of pure-bred live stocb
to meet the needs of the farmers.

rather on the rock ballast. The line
