A SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
MEETING

OF all our meetings that we have
had at Berea the one held last Sat
urday was the best. The spirit Of
the occasion was in perfect har-
mony with the importance OF the
subjects discussed. The subjects
were live ones, discussed by live
and enthusiastic farmers who knew
what they were talking about. When
a man tells his own experience
whether religious or other, IL al
ways carries conviction with IL and
changes mems minds, or in other
words, converts them; just so 1t was
at our Farmers Meeting, Saturday.
We actually had converts to the
sweet clover proposition-men who
have been skeptical about raising II
for feed and a land builder
Messrs. Sphinx, Hill and Lamb led
the discussion with their own ex-
perience. These gentlemen have
verified every sweeping statement
that have ever made in regard TO
sweet clover and its wonderful BEN
eflts to both livestock Of every kind
and as a soil builder and hillside
retainer. We are unable to give
you all they said in this small space;
but you should have been there and
heard these men and become con-
verted TO the sweet clover idea.
Cultivation OF corn was another
important topic discussed. If all
the points touched on were carried
out this season, our yield would be
one Of the largest we have ever had.
Let us continue TO make these
monthly meetings greater successes
in the future and help each other.

MILK AND CREAM CONTESTS.

Compositions In Quality Of Milk Among
psIrymsn Have Educational Value.
Prepared by United States department OF
Agricultural
MIX and cream contests have been
found to be a very valuable means Of
inducing dairymen to take greater
pains in the production and handling
Of milk. In q new professional pa
per Of the United States department
Of agriculture, bulletin No. 356. the
axiom Is quoted that Education ac-

CORN CULTIVATION

This should be shallow, to con-
serve moisture, liberate plant food,
kill weeds and allow roots to feed
in the rich top soil. narrowing
corn a few days after planting de-
stroys weeds just sprouting, and al
lows the first cultivation TO be de-
layed a few days. After the corn is
up, cultivate with a smoothing har-
row or a weeder at least once. This
can be done until the corn is six to
eight inches high. The first Guilt
walton other than the above may
be deep, but before the corn is six
inches high. All other cultivation
should be shallow-not over two
inches deep-unless after a hard,
packing rain, when a little deeper
cultivation is permissible if the corn
is not over ~ inches high.
Cultivation should be every eight
or ten days, or oftener il a crust is
formed, and should be continued un-
til corn is five feet high. In case Of
dry weather, a dust mulch should
be maintained until silking time.
Suckers
Suckering depends on the fertili-
ty of the soil, the amount Of water
present, and the variety Of corn.
Thicker planting tends to reduce
the number Of suckers. Expert
ments show that no advantage is
gained by pulling the suckers; how
ever, seed stalks make better ears
than those made on suckers. II
suckering is done, do it when the
ground is moist and before the corn
is eight inches high.

TELLING WOMEN HOW TO VOTE

At a time when women may vote for president in twelve states there
can be II possible objection to the Hughes Womens campaign train,
says the New York World. 1t embraces every luxury of ralrOadng. II
carries many seasoned feminine orators. 1t is financed by some Of the
who might hesitate to start on a Ike expedition, fearing publicity.
What is remarkable about the enterprise is that it is paid for, man
aged and in most OF its aspects represented chiefly by eastern women
who never have vote. and, as some people think, are never likely to vote.
BY this means Fifth Avenue, Newport, Riverside Drive, Rttcnhouse
Square, the Rcrkshrcs and the On ngc Mountains hope to difuse m cmG
the voting women of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington,
California, Arizona, Kansas, Greg n, Nevada, Montana and Illinois such
evidences of eastern opinion fashi n and culture to say nothing of prcju
dice, as will necessarily result in the defeat OF Woodrow Wilson.
The mission is perfectly lcit mate and it may be wonderfully sue
ccssful, but it is to be remembers that it is to address itself to women
who have been voting for a long time who have learned the ropes, who
have seen money clcvcrly used campaigns before, and who as plain
Americans are likely to resent II. thing savoring Of tutelage, condesccn

HIGHWAY MEETING
AT FORT PAYNE IS
LARGELYATTENDED
More Than 5000 Are Enter
tanned and Alabama Route
of Dixie Road Is Given
Big Boost

Fort Payne. September 27.-(Special) }
Five thousand people arriving in more
than 500 automobiles were present here
Tuesday at the halfway meeting of
the Georgia-Alabama branch of the
Dixie highway. Cars came from At
lanta, Rome, Menlo and Summerville.
Ga, and met cars from Huntsville.
Scottsboro and other sections of Ala
bama.
1t is now generally conceded by a.
number of the Dixie highway commit
tee that the proposed route from Nash
vile to Huntsville, thence to Scots
boro, thence to Atlanta via Fort Payne
and other smaller towns along the route
is the most lougical route, as much of
the road is already built, there being only
about eight miles to be built in Alabama
and 10 in Georgia.
The weather was ideal for the trip
and the town was in gala attire, flags
floating and banners streaming, and
everybody in a good humor.
The welcoming address was made by
Col. M. w. Howard, and other talks
were made by prominent visitors. The
guests were treated to barbecue din
ner supplemented by pies, cakes and
salads furnished by the ladies of the
town. The dinner was served to the
guests by 100 high school girls and
boys.
