Due to Mistaken C0nuictions.
IF the improper course which
the president followed had been
due to mistaken conviction, to er-
roneous principle, its effect would
nevertheless have been evil. As it
is, the effect is far worse because
there is grave reason to believe that
the course he followed was directly
opposed to his real convictions.
The president is now a candidate
for office and speaks well of labor.
Until he became a candidate for
office, and as long as he was presl-
dent of a university, he with en-
tire safety ignored or assailed the
labor unions. Indeed, he was then
their bitter, ungenerous and often
unjust critic.

MARKET REPORTS SENT
OUT FREE THIS YEAR
Movement of Tennessee's Strawberry
Crop Made Known Daily to Farmers
and DeaIers-Profits Increased.

The Office Of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
put into effect a system of market re-
porting that has been used this season
by growers and by dealers in perish,
able crops. Tennessee is recognized
as the leading strawberry State in the
Union. During the movement of straw.
berries two Offices were maintained in
Tennessee from which were sent daily
market reports to those desiring such.
The Geographic reports cost those who
received them the expense Of the tele.
graphic service; the reports that were
mailed cost nothing.
These market reports were secured
by collecting from all parts of the
country facts as to the movement Of
perishable crops under consideration
These "eports were telegraphed daily
by the railroads, government off,
Gals and others to headquarters
at Washington. They were i'm
mediately summarized and the re-
sulting totals telegraphed to stations
like the one established this year in
Tennessee, at Humboldt. From Hum
boldt the strawberry growers and
shippers were supplied with the infor-
nation If they asked for it. Through
a proper use Of the figures, the pro
Queer has been able to get from his
crop the greatest possible returns.
The station at Humboldt supplied
West Tennessee with information. A
similar station for the distribution of
market news in the eastern part of the
State was located at the weather bu-
reau office, Chattanooga.
1t is too early yet to hear from users
of the market reports, but a compar-
son of the demand for the reports this
year as compared with last year points
plainly to their popularity.

University of Tennessee, Knox lie,

SlLAGE IN SUMNER
FOR THE DAIRY HERD
Good Crops Properly Stored in the

Drought to the Dairyman.

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten,
sion, University of Tennessee.)
During July and August pastures
are short and dry, flies bad and the
weather hot. Under such conditions
cows can not probably yield milk
without some supplemental feed Elk
pertinent Stations and dairy farms
have found that the summer silO best
meets this need for supplemental feed.
Many of the most progressive dairy.
men consider silage as essential for
summer use as it is for winter.
The dairyman who has a small silo
can be just about Indifferent to sum
mer droughts. 1t is seldom so dry
that fair crops of silage can not be
grown.
Let the man beginning with a small.
herd and expecting to increase thai
herd build a silo small in diameter, but
rather tall, of sufficient capacity to
feed the present herd through the win
ter. A little later, when a larger silO
Is needed for winter feeding and the.
owner has become thoroughly con
WINGED of the value of silage, the small
silo may be filled for summer use and
a larger one built for winter.
For summer feeding it is easy to
ascertain the diameter of the silo
needed. Complete tables will be sent
to any one asking for them, but as a
guide now, one may think of these
facts: A silo with an inside diameter
of IL feet will accommodate 81 head
of cattle If they are fed 80 pounds per
head. If the feeding is made 20 pounds
per head, Sc cattle may be taken care
of; If Is pounds, rs cattle.
Now is the time to prepare to meet
the drought of next summer. Crops
of corn and sorghum may be planted
on stubble land Immediately after the

vested. Prepare the soil by the sub

may be expected.

sion, University of Tennessee.)
Have you picked out the animals
you intend to show at your County
Fair this fall? If you expect to win
it's time for the selection. If you are
really breeding something that your
neighbors would be interested in there
is no better place to advertise than at
your County Fair. Your neighbors
will be there. Surprise them a little
by showing them something good.
Of course, they haven't been taking
your breeding operations seriously and
the chances are that if they wanted to
buy an animal of the breed you have
they would buy from somebody who
carries a big advertisement in the
paper. Why? Simply because you
haven't convinced them that you have
just as good stock as the other man.
If you have good animal show him.
You can show him to more people in
one day at the County Fair than would
come to your farm to see him in ten
years. Get a catalog and pick out your
animals for each class. Make it at
least interesting for the man who has
been walking away with the ribbons.
A remark that is commonly heard
at the fairs is: 1--WE got one better
than that at home" This may be true
and doubtless is in many cases, but if
the man who makes such a statement
had any public spirit and interest in
the Improvement of conditions in his
county or was awake to his own OPP
portunity he would be ashamed to own
the fact.
The greatest problem confronting
the average breeder is to keep his ami
mails up to standard. A man may buy
a herd of animals of the most popular
type today and go off by himself for
ten years to conduct his breeding OPP
erations. Upon returning he WILL ex-

FARM WOODLOT
ON EVERY FARM
Trees Compared With People
Each Community Should

(By w. r. Nation, Forest Examiner
The present movement to build up
the farm and make it pay its owner
a substantial income neCessitates Sc
riOus attention to the farm woodlot.
Tillable land, pasture, and woodland
make up three main classes of land to
be dealt with in the future develop
ment of the farm. A woodlot is that
portion of the farm managed for the
continuous production of timber either
to be used on the farm or for sale, or
both. This includes posts, poles, fire,
wood and common building material
1t is important here to distinguish
clearly between woodlot and a wood.
ed pasture. In many regions the
wooded pasture is exclusively thought
of and known as the woodlot. 1t gem
orally consists of very open stand OF
mature and Overmature trees. The
absence of seedlings and larger repro
duction forcibly suggests the condition
of a town made up wholly of aged
people. Each will become extinct by
the passing away of the present gener-
alton. The woodlot should contain
trees of different ages with the young
er ones well represented. Further, it
should be fully stocked with the most
useful kind of trees. The main points
by which to Judge the latter are the
intrinsic value of wood for farm uses
and the rate Of growth.
Pastured Woodlots Ruined.
Pasturing a woodlot, unless care
fully controlled, destroys the valuable
protective leaf mulch of the forest
floor and does great damage to young
seedlings and sapplings. If continued
as steady practice heavy pasturing
in hardwood stands will inevitably de-
strOy the woodlot The worth of the

No Immediate Hearing
 Mandamus Suit Expected
By "Hop"

Montgomery, October 12.-(Specal) After delay of several weeks, there are no immediate prospects for a hear ing and determination of the mandamus proceedings entered by J. R. Daily in the circuit court of Montgomery, in an effort to force Governor Henderson to ap- prove an account for expenses incurred by him in making certain investigations i'll Russell county, under the direction of the attorney general. The filing of these proceedings was the first chapter in the recent controversy between the governor and the attorney general as to whether the latter possessed authority to incur expenses for criminal investigations with out first having obtained the consent of the chief executive.
 The case originally was set down for trial by Judge Leon McCord late in SNb- tember but on account of the absence of the attorney general and one of the attorneys for the governor, the case was carried over until early this month. Judge McCord is now holding court in Elmore county and will likely sit there all of this week and probably the greater part of next week. Therefore, no time has been set down for hearing. Judge Me Cord might possibly arrange to hear the case on some Saturday in the near fu- ture.
