COTTON BELT CROP ROTATION

(By G. E. Alfred, Division Of Exten.
sion, University Of Tennessee)
In most parts of the cotton belt the
practice of growing cotton almost con.
tinuously is changing. This system
failed to keep up the fertility and the
humus supply of the soil, and also
failed to provide stock food
The following is an especially good
rotation for the cotton belt:
First year-Cotton.
Second year-Corn, with cowpeas be.
tween the rows.
Third year-Winter oats, followed
by cowpeas.
With this rotation the same family
can farm practically three times as
large an area as when nothing but cot
ton is grown. All the cotton that can
be picked can be raised, and by prop
erly organizing the work, the other
crops can be raised besides. This re-
quires that two and three-horse teams
be used.

WHY NEW CONSTITUTION
FOR STATE is NEEDED

That our Constitution needs amend
ing, goes without saying, though we
may differ somewhat as to details.
turing the last session OF our legls-
Iature, Gov. Rye appointed a strong
committee on Taxation. Its labors
covered quite period of time dur
ing which the Committee consulted
and received information from one
hundred and sixty organizations, Off
Gals and citizens of the state repre-
sentlng almost every county and GER
talnly representing every class and
every interest in the state. The Com
mlttee says, anything like a com
plete and thoroughly effective reform
OF our tax system cannot be obtained
and the chief obstacle is the inflex-
lble article on taxation in the consti-
tuition of 1870" Quoting froman emf
nent authority on taxation, the COM
mlttee further says of our system at
puts premium on dishonesty and
| debauches the public conscience; it
reduces a deception to a system and
makes science of knavery; it press
es hardest on those least able to pay;
1t imposes double taxation on one
man and grants entire immunity to
the next" The report also says that
capital flies from any state where
there is no fixedness of taxes; that
the property of widows and orphans
is more highly assessed in proportion
to value than any other classes of
property, which a Constitutional
amendment alone can cure; that we
have absolutely no uniformity in the
assessment of property from county
to county.
Now we not only need a reform in |
our methods of taxation, but also in |
the cost of collecting and disbursing |
same, as witness: w. S. Sheriff., State |
Supt of Education, after declaring |
that county Trustees are in no way |
to blame for accepting SOL, 597.69 for
handling the school fund, says: at |
is the system that is wrong. 1t is a
reflection on the state ofTennessee
to permit it to continue. 1t is an in
justice to the children of the state
that S91, 200 should be paid out to
the County Trustees to collect the
money for their schools. The money
paid out last year for collecting the
school money was more than half of
the money coming from the perma-
nent school fund.-.
1t is disgrace to the state to pay
$91 900 a year to the County Trus-
tees when the active school men, the
men who spend their entire time in
the interest of the schools, are paid
only $4,000 a year. Some of the
county superintendent are paid more
than that, but large majority of
them are paid much less. The county
of Education in
Davidson receives $2400.O0 a year,
but theTrustee was paid $6,259.42
last year for handling the school fund
In Shelby county, the Trustee re-
ceived $8,133.43; in Hamilton,
$4,507.35; in Knox $4,650.85.
Some tax reform might be had
though legislative enactment, but as
above stated, the 1915 Tax Com
mittee says that anything like COM
plete and thoroughly effective reform
can only be obtained through Con-
amendment. I
Vote August 3rd for a Constitu-
tional Convention, as all amendments
and new provisions proposed will have
to be ratified by the voters before
they become part of our organic law.

/ cessful breeder of live stock must have
the courage or the capital to buy
goods. but not necessarily costly foun-
termination and ability to see it

ity of animals demanded by the dis

Even with these requisites, ready +

size of his holdings rapidly. There is
no regular market where registered

the breeder must consider methods OF

Naturally, as good animals are dis

the best possible sort Of advertising.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.-After
reading the truth about the unpre-
paredness Of the state militia now
on the Mexican border, parents, rela-
tives and friends of the young men
in the national guard who went to
the front as federal volunteers may
be mighty thankful to President VIII
son if he prevents war with Mexico.
Mobilizing the national guard has
been worth while. It shows I'D the
political incompetency in the man
agement Of our various state armies.
1t would have been a crime to send
these raw and poorly-equipped boys
into Mexico to fight the seasoned vet
Grams Of the Mexican army. Yet that
is the crime some newspaper publish
ers and American cOncessionaries
have been trying to force Wilson to
commit.
The quiet, silent but courageous
man in the White House is taking his
job seriously. Unmoved by the
clamor OF. the lingo press and hos
tile politicians, he has tried his best
to keep our country out of war and
still preserve that mysterious some
thing we call our national honor.
The trip to the border will be a
good thing for the militia boys and
for the country-prOvided they don't
have to go into Mexico and fight. It's
a long step toward national prepared
ness-and a safe one. It is more ed
ucatiOnal than the frantic prepared
ness editorials in the Tngo press. At /
the very least it may convince the

MRS. FURSMAN OF CHICAGO
Look at Ida L. Fursman. She was a

She has been fired from service in

with no charges filed against her and
with no opportunity for testimony or

The harvest time is now on US.
Peas are ripe, and some have been
gathered. Cotton is opening fast.
Some fodder has been pulled and
hay cut. We have had very short
rest this summer. By the time we
finished plowing we commenced to

J. o. Marshall IS moving his
store, which will give his wife a
pretty front and side yard. She is
thinking of giving the young peo-
pie tennis court on part of it.
She IS always ready to give the boys
and girls pleasure.
We were delighted with the agri-
cultural meeting at Modoc last
week, under the management of
Clemson college. They sent US
some good speakers. I am sure it
is going to do good. They told US
to quit killing this Bermuda grass
trying to grow cotton. Said for us
to put good fences around it and
cover the hills with beef and dairy
cattle. Told about the many
creameries that were going up all
over the State, and the good price
cream was bringing all the time.
Advised US not to buy cotton-seed
hulls-they were not worth over
$500 per ton-but to grow pea hay
and velvet beans. Told of one man
in the upper part of the State that
built large barn and cut four win
dows. He planted velvet bean at
each window, and when they began
to grow he opened the windows and
let the vines run in and in short
while the barn was full of nice hay
for his cattle.
We had a good crowd out at Sun

Death of Mr.. Felix P. Walk
er, Sr.

Early Saturday morning Mr.. +,
P. Walker, Sr., peacefully entered
into his last long sleep at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Wat
son. Mr.. Walker was in his eighty
second year and it may be said that
his life came to an end as candle
burns out. Because of extreme old
age, rather than on account of dis
ease, the organs of the body ceased
to perform their function and his
spirit left the temple of clay to take
up its abode in that heavenly home
not made with hands. On account
of the encroachment of accumula-
ted years, Mr.. Walker had not
mingled much. with his friends for
several years. His Edgefeld friends
have greatly missed his regular Wis
its to the court house, as 1t has
been more than a year since he was
last among them. Mr.. Walker has
always led an upright, Cody life
and before his strength failed took
an active interest in every phase OF
the community life. He was one
of the charter members of Berea
church and has been an officer IN
that church since its organization.
He has been missed from the active
work of the church since his enfee-
bled condition made it impossible
for him to attend upon the church
services regularly. His funeral was
conducted from the church Satur-
day afternoon by his pastor, Rev.
Henry B. White.
Mr.. Walker is survived by. two
daughters, Mrs. Frank Watson and
Mrs. Frank Byrd, and two sons,
