Many Farmers Decide to Grow
Less Cotton and wore Cattle
New Life in th8 work
EXCELLENT RESULTS OBTAINED
Bankers offer to Loan Farmers Of the
County $4,000 at Reduced Rate Of
Interest on Long Time Notes With
Which to Buy Cattle.
(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. NJ Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee)
Sentiment in favor of better live
stock is rapidly developing into action.
Gibson county farmers have decided
to grow less cotton and more cattle. A
movement started a few weeks ago
amongst the bankers of the county re-
suited in their offer to loan the farm
ers $15,OOOOO at a reduced rate of in
terest on long time notes This slim
ulated the farmers into immediate ac-
ton. A committee was appointed to
decide whether or not efforts should
be confined to one breed Of cattle and
II so, which one. The committee de-
cided unanimously in favor of the
Hereford. A buying committee was
appointed and as soon as cattle could
be located they started after them.
Each banker looked after his own pa
irons. Notes were given by the farm
ers, placing at the disposal of the
buying committee sums varying in
amounts according to the kind and
number of cattle wanted. The notes
were made for $4,000. for bulls, and
$4,000 for bred heifers and cows, so
that there would be a safe margin.
The bankers decided to allow one of
their number to handle the entire sum.
When all of the notes were in, each
of the other banks mailed checks for
the respective amounts to the bank
selected and the buying committee
drew draft on this bank for the en-
tire amount.
The cattle were located in Western
Missouri and consisted of bulls rang
ing in ages from IL to Is months, bred
heifers, and number of cows with
calves at foot and bred again, totaling
65 head exclusive of the young calves.
They arrived home in excellent shape
and with two more calves than they
started with, both in good spirits.
These cattle were bought in small
lots; on the average, not more than
two head going to one man. Upon
their arrival home they were greeted
by very much excited crowd. AS
they marched up the main street of
town they created more excitement
than circus parade.
Prices were adjusted by the COM
mitee according to relative values Of
animals, and a price placed upon each
animal. The freight costs and other
expenses were prorated in accordance
with the prices on animals since the
prices correspondent very we'll with
the size and weight Of animals. The
average cost, including all expenses,
was $4,000 per head.

SOIL STlMULANTS AND
HOW TO USE THEM

(By j. c. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
Temporarily, soils may be made to
increase in production and at the same
time decrease in plant food. In fact,
bumper crops of grains are always ae-
compa led by maximum outgo Of fer
tility. There is four times as much
plant food In hundred-bushel corn
crop as in one Of twenty-five.
Intensive tillage, deep blowing, thor.
ough cultivation, all increase crops,
because they make plant food avail.
able, but they add no plant food to the
soil. They help to take it away.
Fertilizers often enable crops to
take out more potash, phosphorus, and
nitrogen, particularly nitrogen, than the
fertilizers themselves contain. They
may increase production, but decrease
total plant food.
Two tons of limestone should be ap-
piled to the majority of acres in Ten
nessee. 1t places potash and phos-
phorus in reach of plants, but it adds
none to the soil 1t does not even add
nitrogen, unless legumes are intro.
duced to the cropping system to be
plowed under or fed and the manure
returned to the land.
These things are good: intensive til.
lage, fertilizers, lime-all have place
In soil-building. Making plant food
available is the farmers business. So
is making soils durable and perma-
nent. Worn soils are the natural re-
suits of placing fertility in reach only
OF soil-robbing crops-grains, corn,
cotton, tobacco, etc. Soil-building crops
have not received their share of the
benefits.
1t is a necessary thing to make
plant foods available by all possible
agencies, but they should be directed
first toward the increased production
of soil-building crops; red clover espe-
cially, and then to grains. 1t is more
important to have ideal preparation Of
the soil for fall-sown clovers than It
is for spring-planted corn. Fertilizers.
which in the past have been saved re-
ligiOusly for wheat and corn, should be
applied generously to peas, beans, red
and crimson clover. So should lime
When farmers decide 20 feed their
soils before they demand the work
of producing a corn crop. instead OF
waiting until afterward TO replace the
soil fertility taken out By the corn,
then soils viii be durable.

BREED YOUR COWS TO
FRESHEN IN THE FALL

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten.
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
There are several advantages in
having dairy COWS freshen in the fall.
1. The largest amount Of milk is
produced when the price is highest.
The average price Of butter fat is from
six to ten cents higher during the win
ter than during the summer months.
2. Fall fresh cows give larger an
nual production than those freshening
during the spring months. BY feeding
silage through the winter and turning
on to grass in the spring the milk
flow is kept up for longer time.
3. More time Is available for dairy
work in winter when farm work IL not
rushing.
4. 1t is less expensive to care for
milk in winter, because less ice is re-
quired.
8. Cows are dry during the hot,
dry season of the year when flies are
bad, pastures short and farm work
pressing.
s. Calves born in the fall should de-
velop into better cows than those born
in the spring, since theF can receive
better attention and are ready to run
on grass in the spring.
Breed as many as possible OF your
COWS in December and January, and
have them freshen in October and No
vember and get the benefit Of high
pyices for dairy products next winter.

SAGE TEA TURNS
 CRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring Back Color and
 Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark, glossy hair can only be had by brewing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, just an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances It's appearance hundredfold.
 Don't bother to prepare the mixture; you can get this famous old recipe inn proved by the addition of other ingredi- ents for 30 cents a large bottle, all ready for use. It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can always be depended upon to bring back the natural color and lustre of your hair.
 Everybody uses "Wyeth's'' Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair has disappeared, and after another application it be- comes beautifully dark and appears glossy and lustrous. This ready-to- use preparation is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and youthful appearance. It Is not intended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.--Adv.

DEALERS MEET
 HUGH CHALMERS Pacific Coast Contingent of Big Factory Gets
 Acquainted

Marked by display of genuine enthusi- asm, the big gathering of California deal CTS held under the auspices of the Chal- mers Motor company, proved a record breaker in point of attendance and re- suits. Over 300 dealers and automobile salesmen journeyed to San Francisco on March 21 in Chalmers Six-3o touring cars furnished by L. H. Rose. Chalmers dis tributor in San Francisco.
 The dealers were taken to the Palace hotel where rooms had been engaged to take care of the entire delegation. A luncheon at noon and a big banquet in the evening, presided over by Hugh Chal- mers, were included in the scheme ot entertainment.
 In an interesting address, MT. Chalmers congratulated the dealers on the record sale of cars in California territory, and predicted the necessity In the near future of 8 branch Chalmers factory In Sar Francisco. This branch, he stated, would be an assembly plant to which parts could be shipped from Detroit and the assembly made on the Pacific coast.
 Following the banquet, the dealers were the guests at grand ball and entertain ment provided by l.. H. Rose. San Fran cisco papers referred to the Chalmers California Day celebration as the great est gathering of master salesmen" ever held on the Pacific coast.

OVERLAND BREAKS FORMER RECORDS Total of 47,465 Cars Made and Shipped In Three
 Months

It was disclosed in a report submitted by officials of the company to John N. Willys. president of the Willys-Over-
 land company, on Saturday that all
 previous production records had been
 broken at the close of business March 31.
 This three months statement shows
 total of 47,465 cars manufactured and
 shipped.
 The month of March just passed leads with total of nearly 10000 cars-19,- 7S0 to be exact This is compared with
 the March, 1915, production of 7005
 cars, and shows a gain of 12,775 cars
 in the single month.
 Still more remarkable is the fact that the number of cars shipped in the three months period, January l to March 31, comes within a thousand cars of equal-
 ing the entire yearly production of 1914. In F months time, with increased
 manufacturing facilities, production figures are nearly trebled, manufac- turing and marketing achievement that has yet to be equaled in any industry. The report of the first quarter shows
 them maintaining production schedule
 of 100000 Overland and Willys- Knight
 cars for 1916, and marks new era in the quantity production of cars of this class and price.

'|NVENTS DISHES l. FOR USE OF MANNED Soup and Meat Plates for Those Having Only One
 Arm Devised

London, March 20.-Dr A. E. Shipley, master of Christ's college, University of Cambridge, and one of England's s foremost educators, has turned from scholarship to practical things He has just invented a soup plate and meat plate for use by men who have lost an arm in the war, or who have the use of only one arm on account of wounds. man who suddenly finds himself without one of his arms has great difficulty in managing his food. pr. Shipley came in contact with the problem at the great open air hospital at Cambridge, where there are hun dreds of wounded men. He saw tho difficulties of the arm1ess men, how with ordinary dishes man could get only part of his soup while his meat or pudding would slip all over the plate. Dr. Sipley turned his inventive genius on the problem. He devised q soup plate with a depression in tho center from which will catch the last three or four spoonfuls and make them accessible. +att
 The meat or pudding plate, to be usea for solid food, has vertical sides ana an overhanging rim. Against this pieces of food can be pushed without any risk of their toppling over tho edge of the plate.
 A London firm has arranged to mans ufacture the dishes and they are being put on the market in various forma and styles.
