narrow and not too sayory streets on
the slopes Of the hills, and above it, on

Castle Hill, stand the ruins of an eight
sided tower Of red brick. the remaino Of
the castle which Gedynim, Grand Prince
of Lithuania, built early in the 18th CEN

capital. But the site has a much older
history. Whatever the primitive faith
of the Lithuanians may have been-and
strange are the stories in old chronicles
it is reasonably certain that far away
in the dark ages they were worshipping
a sacred fire kept forever burning, like

Hay, Hogs and Hominy.

With the assurance that the south
has at last needed the HAY, hogs and

crop system, and set about earnestly
to diversity her crops, southern boards
OF trade and commercial and indus
trial organizations Of all kinds are
busy advising the farmers how to
adjust themselves to these new con-
ditions.
Editors. educators and lecturers
have dinneti into the ears Of the far
mers the idea that the south can grow
as fine quality Of hay as the west.
With this idea in view. an investfga-
ton recently was made. The farmers
asserted there was no market for the
peavine hay.
The commission grain merchants
were then moved on. They acknow-
lodged that they did not care to buy
peavine hay, and gave their reasons.
It was not cured properly, they said;
was not ba1ed properly. and. In addi-
ton, possessed fattening quality.
which made 1t unsuitable for work
animals. AS a result the south has
now a propaganda Of education on
how to cure and bale hay.
A rather unique plan for improving
the grade Of southern cattle is being
urged, and to this idea the farmers
have taken readily.
The county commissioners Of every
county in every southern state are
urged to purhase thoroughbred sire
Of one of the best breeds Of cattle for
the free use Of the farmers Of the
county.
Along this same line Of diversifi-
cation it is also proposed that every
