how systematic Nature is in
cleaning up the remnants of one
season to make room for the bios
soming of another? If you will
observe, she always employs the
sharp knife of winter to cut loose
the autumn leaves rather than
leave them on the trees to be
pushed off by spring buds. Shall
we be less enterprising and allow
summer goods to remain on our
shelves until pushed aside by the
heavy stock of fall and winter
goods? No, indeed! We produce
a trade-wind current in this sale
by reducing the price so low that
it is clearing our stock quickly.

TWO TYPES OF SILO

(By c. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
The two types of silos best adapted
for use in Tennessee are the cheap,
temporary silo built OF wood, and the
permanent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo. For farmer who wishes a cheap
silo, there is nothing better than the
Tennessee wood-hoop type. This is
built of Xxi" fine flooring, which
should be of good quality heart
pine, free from knots and sap, match
ed, planned, and tongued and grooved.
The hoops are made Of 1h"x4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around a form and
made four-ply thick. The 1"x4" slaves
ore set upright inside of these hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silo, and one of the
easiest to build. The average cost OF
such a silo is $100 per ton capacity,
where all the material is purchased
and all the labor hired.
For a permanent silo there Is moth
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. Ti.ey can be
built for an average cost of $3.50 to
$500 per ton capacity, and If properly
constructed will LAST indefinitely. They
should be built or GOOD material, with
solid wall, six inches thick, properly
reinforced, and made smooth and slick
on the inside.
If properly constructed, a concrete
silo will preserve silage absolutely,
as we'll as any other kind of silo, and
should not cost any more than the
patented wood type. There is posi-
lively no excuse for Tennessee farm
er paying oft his hard-earned money
for patented staye silo when he can
build one of concrete for positively the
came cost, ad when will last at least
2 life time.

the buds burst in spring is the
time to spray for scale insects; such

two to three pounds TO the barrel, and
applying with strong force, so that
the spray will be forced into the
blossom end of the little apple, and
among the hairs of the peach.

and hardware stores, II should be di.
luted, one and one-half gallons to SO
gallons Of water for'apples and plums;
one gallon to 60 gallons for peaches.
The arsenate OF lead can be added to
the solution, thus making a combined
remedy for insects and diseases. Spray
thoroughly, covering the entire tree
until it drips slightly. There is bound
to be some waste. but little practice
makes one skillful in handling a spray
Ing outfit Spray at intervals of
month, making the last application
about month before the fruit Is
ready to pick. Use arsenate of lead
only in the first spray after the bloom
falls.
In spraying with lime-sulphur solu-
ton, care should be taken to protect
hards, face, and neck from the spray
by the use of vasoline, Goggles should |
be worn to protect the eyes. Gloves
can be water PROCEED by dipping them
In boiled linseed oil, or rubber gloves
can be worn. The lime-sulphur solu-
ton is very caustic, and the sores
caused by it are painful and difficult
to heal.

DAIRY BUSINESS LUCRATIVE

Wy " n IlutJuH, DlNlSlO1 OF EAJeu

Tennessee farmers are learning
more and more the necessity of di.
versifled farming and the keeping OF
more live stock on their farms. A
great many are turning their attention
to the dairy COW as a source of ready
income and means of soil improve
ment.
The general interest in dairying has
caused a widespread interest In the
building Of creameries over the state.
Especially is this true in West Tennes-
see, where the depressed cotton mar
kets are causing farmers to look for
something besides cotton for a source
Of income. The prevailing idea in a
great many communities, If a few
farmers should decide to get into the
dairy business, is that they should
build a creamery. While well-man-
aged, successful creamery does afford
an excellent market for cream, yet
many dairymen In this state have bet
ter markets afforded them by city milk
plants and in cream plants, than most
creameries can ever hope to afford.
The most essential requirement 10
a successful creamery is sufficient
supply OF cream. The product from at
least four hundred cows should be
available, and they should be located
within a radius OF not more than ten
miles Of the creamery, or shipping
point. In some communities the roads
are in such poor condition that 1t 10

Crops, Thick and Dense

BEST Way to Plant This Mixture, Mix

Tennessee farmers who had The op-
portunity last summer of passing along

tion, from the dairy barn to the river,
must have been impressed with the
remarkable silage crops on either side
lof the road. The chances are that
Fhese were by far the best that they
had ever seen. They we're probably
khe best that any of US had ever seen.
The crop was thick and dense from
the ground up. Sorghum had been
mixed with the corn in the same row
at the time of planting. The corn
grew tall. with little forage below the
lear, but the sorghum had filed in the
space, making it solid to the ground.
When harvest time came it was pos.
Esible to allow the corn to stand and
rfpen longer than if it had been plant.

go into the silo in frst-class condition,
Because the sorghum had remained
fresh and succulent. Even though the
corn was ripe, 1t packed perfectly in
the silo. Another advantage was that
the corn supported the sorghum and
Elessened Its tendency to lodge.
Maximum tonnage is the matter OF
mrst Importance in the silage crop
The highest yields can not be had by
either OF these crops alone, but by
combination. For this field, the rate
OF planting was about eight pounds OF
,Albermarles prolific corn, and four
pounds of sorghum per acre; but, tails
aand is rich and well titled For poorer
lands the rate OF seeding should be
somewhat thinner.
Perhaps the best way to plant this
mixture is to mix about three pounds
OF sorghum to eight pounds of corn
before putting the seed into. the drill
box. In addition the driver should
carry some unmixed sorghum seed and
pour little on top of the corn fire.
Quently as the planting pro-
ceeds. This Is the only way to keep the
seed well mixed. Another way is to
plant the corn first and then the
sorghum at subsequent operation.
The only objection to this Is the add
tional expense to double planting

sion. University of Tennessee.)
The month OF March is the most IA.
vorable time for killing San Jose scale,
but the work of spraying must be done
before the fruit blossoms open, as the
concentrated lime-sulphur solution,
which is the best scale remedy, is so
strong that 1t will XIII the bloom. It
can be used With perfect safety even
when the peach buds are pink, pro-
vided the flowers are not open.
Spray thoroughly. To reach every
part OF the tree, It is best to prune
we'll before spraying, being especially
careful to head back the small limbs
that project beyond the general aver
age of the crown.
II the trees are badly infested with
scale, they should be "dehorned," or
cut back very severely. Peach trees
may be headed back by cutting off
branches three inches or more in d.
ameter.
Keep the nozzle moving, reach
every part of the tree. The only scale
Insects that are killed are the ones
that are touched by the spray-their
food can not be poisoned. Spray until
the solution begins to drip from the
limbs.
Before beginning the work put on

with vaseline. wear goggles to protect
The eyes, and gloves soaked in oil to

 OPPOSITION IS TOO STRONG.
Therefore Bill for Control of State
 institutions sai;t Be Introduced.

Little Rock. Dee. 2i. The bill that was prepared after several months of study and at considerable ex- pense, under the direction of the Arkansas Conference for Social Welfare, for the complete revou- ton in the manner of controlling the states penal and elcomosynary institutions, will not be introduced at all The bill had been drafted and redrafted several times, and copies of it had been sent to the members of the Legislature. There had been considerable publicity about it in the newspapers. II was generally looked upon, however, as ideal and too revolutionary to re- ceive the approval of the members of the General Assembly, since it would antagonize too many interests that have been exercising a consid- erable influence in legislative affairs. It is stated on good authority also, that it would not receive the ap- proval of Governor Brough.
 It is probable that instead, a re- solution will be introduced for the appointment of commission to make a scientific study of the ques- ton, for the purpose of making re- port and recommendation to the Legislature of 1919.

 MAIL CARRIER BADLY BEATEN BY GALE HUMES.
Constable Emerson in Attempting to Arrest Iiumes Met Resistance,
 hut Won Out.

Gale Hume was placed under ar rest Friday morning by Constable Joe Emerson and Deputy D. A. Hazel. on a warrant issued out of the court of s. H. Smith, charging as- sault with intent to kill on the per- son of M H. Profit. The oifense was committed Thursday night when Profit. by appointment, went to home of Hume to receive house rent. Tn the assault, Mir. Profit sustained a broken nose and a severe bruise on his right cheek and ear. His wounds were dressed that night by Dr. ?. R. Watkins, and today he is confined to his home.
 !h making the arrest, the officer encountered difficulty which re- suited in Hume getting somea scalp wounds in the efforts of the officers to get him into court. As conse- quence of the difficulty with the officers, Deputy Prosecuting Attor- ney w. prickett flied an information before S. II. Smith, charging Hume with resisting an officer. When the eases were called on Friday the defendant asked continuance until next week, and thereupon the court set Tuesday morning for the hear ing of the charge of assault with in- tent to kill, and the charge of re- sisting an officer was transferred to the court of l.. N.. Burnett, for the reason that Squire Smith felt that he was disqualified on account of relationship to Constable Emerson.
 The defendant was placed under bond of $500 on the charge of as- sault with intent to kill, and a fur
 her bond of $50 on the charge of resisting an officer.
 Before Hume left the court of S. II. Smith, he asked that warrant he issued for M. II. Profit on the charge of disturbing the peace, and later he went before Justice of the Peace l.. N. Burnett and swore out complaint against Joe Emerson, charging assault.

NO AMNESTY 10
 VILLA BANDITS
General Murguia Declares the Time Has PaSsrd for Clemency Toward the Marauding Pillagrrs-SaIa-
 gar Has Not Given Up.

Chihuahua Gly, Dee 20. General Murguia, succeeding Trevino in command of the Carranza forces in the state of Chihuahua, this morn ing in issuing a denial of the rumor that has been in circulation turnout this part of the republic the past few days to the effect that the rebel leader, Salazar, had surrendered to the de facto government forces, stated that amnesty to any of the Villa leaders would under no cir cumstances be considered.
 General Murguia declared that the time for clemency toward the ban dts had passed, and that all the Febels captured by the de facto troops would be treated as outlaws and dealt with accordingly.
 A rumor still persisted here, how ever, that a split has occurred be- tween Villa and Salazar over the route of the rebel troops at Horcitas, for which Villa is said to have blamed Salazar, who was in sole command at that point
 It is declared that it was the de- feat of the rebels at Horcitas, under the command of Salazar, that com pelled Villa and his victorious band of outlaws, to evacuate Chihuahua City day or two after they had driven the Carranzislas out follow ing five day battle.
