FARMERS - -
BUY BEEF CATTLE
Community Cooperation in theBelvi-
dere Section Promises Spleen
did Returns


The farmers Of the Belvidere COM
munity, in Franklin county, have re
Gently gone into the pure bred beef
cattle business. The farmers in this
community are recognized as amons
the foremost in the state. As one
rides through this section their well
kept farms with the broad acres of
clover and alfalfa speak for them
selves.
Their history is very Interesting
In less than thirty years they have re-
deemed a valley that had been given
over to the sedge grass and sassafras
sprouts. They have made it one of
the beautiful farming sections of Ten
nessee.
1t is the same old story of legumes
and live stock. The farmers have
made greater progress in legumes
than they have in live stock. They
were the first farmers in the state to
grow alfalfa in fifty and seventy-five
acre fields. They have fed cattle and
taken the best care of the manure.
They have had better cattle than their
neighbors, and yet they realized that
they were not keeping as good cattle
as they should. They believed their
farms were worthy of the best. An
other thing, they had learned to work
together.
They were able to agree on a sin
gle breed. Polled Durham was their
choice. Their bankers were willing
to furnish the money. Two of their
number were selected as buying COM
mittee The cattle were found in
the herds of prominent Illinois breed
ers, and in a short time the buyers
returned with twenty-five cows and
heifers. In order that everyone might
be satisfied with his purchase they
decided to hold a public auction. Ar.
engagements were accordingly made,
sale date set, posters printed, animals
catalogued and the services of local
auctioneer procured.
The sale was great success. Ev-
eryone was pleased and when all the
bills had been paid, it was found that
they had to the credit of the assocla-
ton $3.50.
An important part of the st'ry re.
mains to be told. The attentidl OF the
agricultural and industria depart,
ment of the N. C. and st. - waty
was attracted by their enthusiasm and
enterprise. The railroad was glad to
loan them a bull.-thy lcellSnt show
and breeding bull "Fiel0 Marshal III"
was bought and turned over to them.
This bull is one of the best bred polled
bulls living, sired by the Princess Roy
al Bull, Field Marshal II, and having
for granddam the imported COW
Jenny Ind XIV" by imported
Scottish Fancy. This bull took first
prizes at the Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois State fairs and
first at the International at Chicago,
and has a magnificent record not only
as show bull but also as q prosltAer.
1t is very fortunate for the breed
that this bill has come south. One of
the features of the movement for bet
ter live stock by the farmers of the
Belvidere section is that they pro-
pose to hold annual sales.

Former Tennessee Woman Operated
on in Washington.

of Mrs. Joseph w. Folk, wife of the
solicitor of the interstate commerce
commission, who was operated on Sat-

what improved according to a report
from her home tonight. She was
stricken Friday night after attending

gency hospital.
For day or two the friends of Mrs.
Folk were quite uneasy about her, as
she suffered an acute attack, and her
condition, until she began to show i'm
provement last night, was alarming.
Mrs. Folk was formerly Miss Ger
trude Glass of Brownsville, Tenn, and
it was only a week ago that she re-
turned to Washington after visiting
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. E.
Glass at Jackson, where she attended
