 Company Issues Statement
 The Tidewater company issued state ment saying there was no strike at it's plant but that the men had been laid off until they could have protection in entering and leaving the works.
 Superintendent Hennessy of the Stand ard plant, in a statement, said:
 "No strikebreakers have been import ed and none will be. Constable Hook 1t is our belief that shutting down the plant will have a quieting effect on the men.
 AS to the mems demands for a 15 per cent increase, I advised the men to re- turn to work I said if they did I would make favorable recommendations to my superiors and that I felt sure that such a recommendation would be favorably en- tertained."
 Efforts by Industrial Workers of the World to address the strikers today were not wholly successful. Frank Tannen- baum was howled down by one crowd.

clubs are to be organized and con-
Quoted to demonstrate the use Of lime

One hundred tons Of limestone have
been provided by the company to the

in which the Division can secure the
efficient cooperation OF the County Su-

On October 18th he bought SO steers,
weighing 53,6O5 pounds at 6&c, to

of wheat straw, 40 shocks of shredded
corn, and tons Of cottonseed meal.
He sold the cattle for TIC. The
cottonseed meal cost him $2S.55 per
ton. The steers paid him S696S per

$5.97 per ton; for straw, $26S per
bale; for shredded corn 1894 per

TIME TO PRUNE NOW.
(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)

(By G. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
Late April and early May is the best
time to prune trees in Tennessee.
Peach trees may be pruned earlier, and
grapevines that have not yet been
pruned should have the work done
when the new growth is a. few inches
long, at which time the greatest care
is necessary to avoid breaking the new
shoots; but apples and pear trees
especially are best pruned now.
If the trees are Of bearing age, be-
gin pruning at the top, and remember
that the purpose of pruning Is to let
sunshine reach the fruit spurs in the
lower part of the crown. Prune heav-
lest at the top. 1t is better to cut out
many small limbs than one large one.
Do not make holes In the crown, but
endeavor to distribute the light evenly
throughout. Prune less and less as
you go down the tree, and at the lower
part of the crown remove nothing but
dead wood.
Young trees should be pruned to
give them symmetrical shape, with
strong skeleton branches so placed as
to provide for the best distribution of
light throughout the crown when the
tree is in full bearing. The main
branches should radiate from the
trunk like spokes from wheel hub.
Avoid cross-branching, and narrow.
forking. Do not cut out the small
branches on the lower limbs-they are
needed to shade the trunk and main
branches, thus preventing sun scald.
Cut back last years shoots from one
third to one-half, to make them stalky
tall, slender trees can never carry
heavy crops), then the last years
shoots to provide plenty of room and
light for those that remain. Remove
water sprouts as they appear through
the summer.

PLAN NOW TO PLANT
CROPS FOR SILAGE
(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tenpessee,)

slou1 university VI IeuAessee'J
At this season of the year farmers
generally are busy with field work
and are apt to neglect planning for
crops for filling the silo. The best
yield of silage is made by planting the
crop on well-prepared ground at the
usual corn planting time. Good yields
are secured, however. by planting on
stubble land after crop Of wheat,
oats, rye, or barley has been harvest.
ed. A good seed bed should be pre-
pared by use of subsoil pillow and
disc harrow. This should be done as
soon as possible after the winter crop
Is harvested, while the land is still
moist and mellow.
Corn is the best crop to plant for
silage. Any variety which makes a
good yield OF grain in the locality will
make good variety for silage. 1t is
usually best to plant one Of the large
growing, prolific varieties, however,
owing to the large tonnage secured.
Sorghum or cane makes large yield,
but the silage is hardly as nutritious
as corn alone. A mixture Of about 6
to pounds corn and to pounds
sorghum per acre gives excellent re-
suits. The corn and sorghum may be
mixed and planted with an ordinary
corn drill, and cultivated as one would
cultivate corn. The sorghum adds sue
culence to the silage and gives a
larger yield than corn alone.
Cow peas and soy beans may be mix
ed with corn or sorghum for silage,
and they add palatability and protein
to the silage, but do not preserve in
the silo quite as we'll as corn or cane.
1t is usually best to plant these crops
for hay to be fed dry with silage.

THE TROUBLE WITH FEEDING
BEEF CATTLE THIS YEAR
(By R. M. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.l

10y H. NJ Mui Pny, OIflslOu VA IAtSA
sion, University of TENNESSEE
A number of .hings are getting the
blame for the low prices of beef cattle
this year No attempt will be made to
say which of them deserves 1t the
most-it really doesn't matter to the
feeder. The thing that concerns him
is that he is losing money. A great
many feeders have lost money this
past winter, because the prices were
lower than they had promise of going
They had expected them to be higher
than ever before, and felt, therefore,
they were justified in paying more for
their feeders than ever before. Occa'
sionally the Spectator strikes 1t rich,
and just as often he loses. The whole
trouble with the feeding of this past
winter was in the fact that cattle were
weighed in at too high price. True,
partly because there was scarcity,
but mainly because the Spectator
thought he saw chance to make a
big profit. Feeders sold as high as
TIC, plus a dollar, and there were
punches of finished cattle this spring
willing to go for that same price. A
margin is necessary for profit, ordin-
arily about 11ac. The feeder has no
control over the market but he should
certainly look more carefully after
the cost of his feeders. Feeder steers
can be grown for SIC. If the average
feeder had weighed his steers in at
51Sc this past fall, there would be
heard much less complaint at low
prices.
Following is quite a conservative
estimate Of cost of producing feeder
steer:

SCHOOL GARDENS
(By c. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)

(By G. A. Keffer, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee)
Much interest is being manifested
this spring in school gardens. In some
towns vacant lots are secured by the
schools, the land is heavily MANFRED,
plowed and thoroughly prepared for
seeding, and is then divided into indi-
vidual garden plots, separated by
paths two and three feet wide. The
plots are usually about four by eight
feet in size. Another plan Is to have
each child cultivate his garden at
home, with the supervision of the
teacher who furnishes the planting
plan.
The school garden is a development
of the nature study idea which was so
popular in the schools few years ago,
and is growth in the right direction:
for the child learns by doing, and his
study is productive. Lessons of seed
sprouting, of plant food, Of growth and
fruitage, OF the effect of tillage on
plant development, as well as Of insect
life, are sure to be Of interest when
the plants are cared for by the pupils.
The Division of Extension of the
University of Tennessee will furnish
planting plans, with lists Of varieties
Of vegetables and flowers and sugges-
tons on spacing, depth Of planting,
and method Of care, to any school or
civic league interested In school gar
dening.

G. Gardiner, as saying in an es-
Vsay printed in the London News
and Leader of February twenty
seventh the following:
Whatever the result, the
world that will emerge when the
deluge of blood has subsidized will
be a world that will be new and
strange. There will be a chasm
between us and our past unlike
anything else in history. 1t will
be as though generations of nor
NAL changes have been swallowed
up in the abyss.
The old landmarks will have
gone; the things that used to
seem important will have become
negligible; social relations will
have been transformed; ideas
that were infinitely remote will
have burgeoned, as it were, in
night nothing will be quite as
it used to be. Humanity will
have opened, not a new chapter,
but a new age. 1t will be like
him who looked cut over
a universal blank
Of Natures works, to me ex-
pung'd and RAID;
but it will be a blank on which
we shall write the future in new
terms and in new language.
"A new England is coming to
birth in the trenches of Flanders.
The life of three million men,
the flower of the nation, is being
rovolutionized. That young man
that has gone from the plough
will not return to the plough on
the same conditions. He has
made a discovery. Up to August
last he seemed of rather less i'm
}portance than the cattle in the
fields, for they were always well
fed and we'll stalled, while his
life had been a struggle with
grinding poverty.
ySuddenly he is exalted high
above the cattle. He is person
of consequence. The statesman,
the squire, the parson, the mag
istrite- all become his suitors. He
is dressed for the first time in
good clothes and good boots; he
is we'll fed and we'll housed; he
has pocket money; if he has
wife and children they are better
off than they were before; if he
dies their future will be assured
as it would have never been as
sured if he lived.
1T is all a miracle to him.
The discovery is that when the
real emergency comes his life is
as valuable to the state as any
life. And the thought that is
dawning on him is this: If | am
so necessary to the state in time
of war, the state must be just
to me in time of peace, when |
am doing it's work no less worth
