HoEING MOST IMPORTANT.

(By C. A. Keffer, Division of Exten.
sion, University of TENNESSEE
No tillage operation of the garden
is more important than hoeing, and
none is so badly done. Plow under
and disc in abundant manure; make
thorough preparation with pillow and
disc. with spike-tooth harrow and
planker, or in small gardens with
spading fork and rake; use the best OF
seed and plant at the right time, at the
right depth, and cultivate regularly
and WELL Ali these preparations Will
not take the place of good hoeing.
Keep the hoe sharp. Begin using 1t
as soon as the little plants show above
the ground. Hoe very close to the
plants, cutting the soil an inch deep
or so with slanting cuts very close TO-
gether. Then smooth the surface with
the back of the hoe, making it dust
fine. Do not hoe after rain until
the soil will crumble, but do not wait
until 1t Is dry. Hoe often. Hoelng
lets air into the soil, and air Is as
necessary as moisture for vigorous
root growth. Fine hoeing makes OF
the surface q mulch that checks the
escape OF moisture while admitting the

the greatest depth admissible, and one
inch, or less, is usually best. Do not
cut the soil in big chunks, which Will
dry into hard Jumps; such work Is
an utter loss OF effort. Do not walt
until after the weeds are few inches
high before beginning to hoe the gar

CORN MIXED
WITH SORGHUM
ProdLCes Remarkable SiIage
Crops, Thick and Dense
From the Ground Up
CORN CAN STAND AND RIPEN
Best Way to Plant This Mixture, Mix
About Three Pounds of Sorghum
to Eight Pounds of Corn.
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)

(By J. C. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee)
Tennessee farmers who had the op-
portunity last summer of passing along
the farm road at the Experiment Sta
ton, from the dairy barn to the river,
must have been impressed with the
remarkable silage crops on either side
of the road. The chances are that
these were by far the best that they
had ever seen. They were probably
the best that any of us had ever SEEN
The crop was thick and dense from
the ground up. Sorghum had been
mixed with the corn in the same row
at the time of planting, The corn
grew tall, with little forage below the
ear, but the sorghum had filled in the
space, making it solid to the ground.
When harvest time came it was pos
sible to allow the corn to stand and
ripen longer than if it had been plant
ed alone, at the same time having it
60 into the silo in first-class condition,
because the sorghum had remained
fresh and succulent. Even though the
corn was ripe, it packed perfectly in
the silo Another advantage was that
the corn supported the sorghum and
lessened its tendency to lodge.
Maximum tonnage is the matter Of
first Importance in the silage crop.
The highest yields can not be had by
either of these crops alone, but by
combination. For this field, the rate
of planting was about eight pounds OF
Albermarles prolific corn, and four
pounds of sorghum per acre; but, this
land is rich and well titled. For poorer
lands the rate of seeding should be
somewhat thinner.
Perhaps the best way to plant this
mixture is to mix about three pounds
of sorghum to eight pounds of corn
before putting the seed into the drill
box. In addition the driver should
carry some unmixed sorghum seed and
pour little on top of the corn fire.
quently as the planting pro-
ceeds. This is the only way to keep the
seed we'll mixed. Another way is to
plant the corn first and then the
sorghum at subsequent operation.
The only objection to this is the addi-
tional expense to double planting

WELCOME, FARMERS.

The News welcomes the Farmers
Union to Sequachee today. The sons
of the soil are coming Into their own
now. They are showing by the fact
that they are organi zed. just as other
men organize, that they have ability
to transact their own business, and
look after their own interests. This
ability will grow until it will be a
most difficult job to fool farmer ov-
er any sort of proposition. This has
been showed at them in the past, that
they were Ebay seeds and green
horns," but now 1t is getting so that
they can cope with any one in decid-
ing on the merits of a proposition in
business or otherwise, and stand unit
ed always. This is good quality,
and they will reap much benefit from
adhering strictly to it.
We again welcome the Farmers Ed
ucational and....Co-operative Union of
America, which is with us today, and
extend them the keys of the city. Nav
the day be an enjoyable and useful
one to them in every way.

THE PLAN FOR THE AGES.

Now that the route has been select

try ever saw or will see for years, and
If the 800, 600 is not suttici emit, then

we get what we want South Pitts
burg Hustler.
So that is the plan, is it, Keep on
bonding. Bonds upon top of bonds"

watches them by four-ffths vote IN

ceeding $40, 900 in bonds, and yet goes
to Nashville and makes it 500, QUO,
and omits many of the roads they ask
ed to be assisted. and You will be able
to have bond bill saddled upon this
county at every session OF the legisla-
ture. The Hustler criticises Mr.. Will
son and compliments US upon "hnd-
ing him OUT in private conversation,
but they show poor moral force ..on
their own part By persisting in taking
advantage of his official acts against
the people who elected him. We don't
suppose the Hustler editor ever voted
for Mr.. Wilson for representative, and
we judge the truth of this by two
things, private conversation and his
acts when member of the county court
s. B. Raulston, courageously attacked
Mr.. Wilson's record, and then the
South Pittsburg.. editor said, "This
interests me-" He knew Mr.. Wilson
and had had trouble over his acts In
some way, and was quite willing for
Mr.. Raulston to clam It to him."
Yet be will take advantage Of and
