BEES OF VALUE TO FARMERS.

Have you ever noted the fact
that the honey and wax produc-
ed on Tennessee farms in 1909
reached a value of almost $685.
600?
Do you know that this honey
was produted on 27,799 farms?
Do pou know that the man who
made the most out of bees was
the one who made the most out
of general farming and live stock ?
Do you know that since the
date when accurate figures were
secured, the honey output of
Tennessee has dropped of very
materially; that foul brood, the
worst disease TINT can attack
bees, has ruined the industry on
many farms and in many sections
of the state?
Do you keep bees?
Whether you do or whether
you do not you will be interested
in a plan which has for its pur-
pose the development of an in
dustry which should be adding to
the wealth Of Tennessee at least
a half million dollars each year.
C. E. Bartholomew. an expert
beekeeper, has been added to the
staff of specialists of the division
of extention. He will be subject
to the call of the farmers of the
state. Right now he is beginning
a campaign of education on the
point that bees need to be pro-
tected against winter weather in
Tennessee as much as in any
other state. His work is made
possible through the cooperation
of the U. S. Department of agri-
culture and the State Depart
ment of Agriculture with the Di.

sity of Tennessee.

The state college of agriculture
which is a part of the University
of Tennessee has just announced
definite plans for this years
short course in agriculture. This
course consists of six weeks Of
instruction in agronomy, animal
husbandry, dairying, and horti-
culture and is available to any
person sixteen years Of age or
older. The expenses for six
weeks course need not exceed
$35. This small expense is made
possible for the people of Tennes-
see because of the equipment
which is at other times used for
the regular courses in agriculture
and because of the availability Of
one of the state experiment sta
ton farms at Knoxville which is
used for the out-of-door labora-
tory work.
The purpose Of this course 10
to give those who attend q
thorough, practical training in
the various farm practices which
have for Tennessee been found
to return to the farmer the great
est profits. Because the institu-
ton which gives the course is q
! state school all of the work will
deal with Tennessee conditions.
At the end of the course a GER
tificate is given to each person.
This certificate viii show the
work that has been accomplished
during the six weeks. The dat<
for the course has been set foz
January ] to February 10. 1917.

SHEEP AND WHEAT.

It is Middle Tennessee farmer
tells this story.
In driving a band of two hun
dred ewes they got into a wheat
field along the road. The irate
landowner undertook to hold
them for exorbitant damages.
Believing that the squire was
prejudiced against sheep and
realizing that witnesses for
plaintiff testified that damage
was greater than the crop off
same land brought the year be-
fore, the shepherd put up $500
and bought the crop and left the
sheep there. Later he sold ewes
averaging 100 pounds at 64c and
lambs 65 pounds at Lie. Then
the wheat crop, much to the
chagrin Of the natives, made him
an average of 26 bushels of wheat
per acre, whereas only Is bushels
were threshed from its last crop.
Since then it has become the gen.
eral and very profitable custom
to Craze small grain well up into
April with sheep and lambs, hav-
ing good fences so that they can
be kept off in very soft weather,
from cropping too close, or after
joints begin to form. Actual re-
suits justify the assertion that
light ruminants like sheep and
goats are a distinct advantage to
such crops. In this way one can
eat his cake and have it too.
Many folks thought the land
could only grow wheat, whereas
it could and did throw off three
crops more easily and better than |
one---wheat---wool---

DIFFICULTY OF

II wish that all problems OF
government were displayed in as
clear lines of duty as this pro-
blem of government with regard
to how the farmer ought to be
treated is displayed. IwiSh, for
example, that foriegh affairs
were as simple as agriculture.
The great satisfaction about what
you have to discuss is that when
once your duty is determined. we
have got a great force of inteli-
gence to go forward in the line
of duty.
''The thing that makes a free
country vital is the large num-
Der Of people who get togetherto

most interesting problems Of our
life and of the Hfe Of the world
lie before US. problems in con-
nection with which farmers Of
the United States will play q part
such - they have never played
before.
Tt gCes without saying that
the physical life ofthe nation has
always depended upon the farm.
It goes without saying also that
to q large extent the physical
life Of the world has drawn its
sustenaaee from the great areas
Of farmland in the United States.
We have sent food to all parts
Of tho world. and the American
farmer has contributed to the
life Of all the countries Of the
world. But you know that as
our own population has increas-
ed the proportion in which we
could help foreign countries as
IconCrasted with our own has de-
creased, and there are problems
that are comparable with the
problems of statemanship lying
ahead Of the farmers Of the Unit
led States.
In the future we have got to
bring more Of the area Of the
United States under cultivation
than is under cultivation now.
We have got to increase the pro-
duct at every point where it is
