REPORT
OF Chattanooga Farmers Instl-
tute High Spots of Its Big
Annual Program.
LBy Charles n. Watkins, secretaryl

[By Charles n. Watkins, Secretary
For the benefit of those who were not
with us during the institute held Feb
ruary 16 and II at Chattanooga, we will
give few Of the many interesting points
that We're discussed
T. j. Miller, of Bowling Green, Ohio,
gave an able talk on THE Central
Thought in Successful Farming" Be-
low are a few of the many thoughts Civ
en-:
We like to be with the largest, strong
est and most important crowd-the far
mer. All other people look to the farmer
for their food supplies The farmer Is
the balance wheel Of the human machine.
The central thought of farming is the
conservation of fertility.
The successful corn boys manure, fer
tilize and clover the ground they use so
as to secure the high Yields.
Plenty of humus in the soil Keeps the
clover, wheat, and meadows from freez-
ing out
we best work for our children by leav-
ing them fertile farms.
Spend more time in thinking out your
plans it will ltake less time to do the
work.
Grow the products that go nto your
ground, feeds and avoid authorizations by
INSCRIPTIONS dealers
Consider what a crop wi do toward
keeping the fertility Of the soil
A silo betters the farm every year by
the large amounts of manure produced
The more cattle. the more manure, the
richer the farm
Oats is a protein and is a goou grow
ing feed but is not good fattener.
Corn is the best fattener we have.
Oats and flax sowed together, ripen to-
gether and threshed together, makes an
ideal feed for the growing animal. Es
pecially the work horse and the sow be-
fore farrowing.
Muck lands farm out because of lack
of nitrificatiOn 10 remedy, cover with
manure, ploW deep, use clover or peas
every other crop to increase nitridca-
tion.
Alfalfa was discussed by l, M. Bid
dinger, of Eaton, Ohio, A point of in
terest is that alfalfa will grow where
red clover grows.
Lime or innocuatio mis- not necessary.
A few of the essential things are thor
ough drainage, the best of seed bed,
abundance of fertility, freedom from the
weeds and good seed.
Don't pasture or clip the first season,
but leave for winter protection.
Don't NOV over three crops a year,
leaving the fourth for winter cover.
Alfalfa is often crowded by forenpn
grasses. Use an alfalfa cultivator both
ways after the second or third moving.
The second season, and not before.
Hay gives three cuttings year To
make goo dalfalfa hay, watch the weather
reports and avoid wet spells nd witch for
fair weather then NOV in the morning.
When the dew Is off follow with the ted
der, which you should keep going all day
Next morning ted before the dew is off

ROOSEVELT'S
Figure Grows in Prominence AS
Day Nears for Nominating
G. o. =. Candidate.
[ohio State Journal. Rep. ]

The omens are gathering which point
to the great prominence of Roosevelt
as candidate before the Republican
national convention. His figure grows
bigger every day and already it over
shadows most of the already mem
toned" Here is a reactionary paper
The Public Ledger, of Philadelphia,
in a long editorial telling us that Roots
great speech at New York was Roos-
eveltian throughout, not that it advo-
Gated his nomination, but that it was
in accord with his sentiments. It's
strong, belligerent tone was Roosevelt's.
1t seemed almost like a neffort to pre-
pare the ground for the Colonel, who
went Immediately to the West Indies,
to return in few days to face the ov-
erwhelming ovation and to protest
against his candidacy in an unavailing
manner. What a stir among the pa
cihcs would the nomination of the colo
mel arouse!

car and all the seats were taken, she
took hold Of a strap Then the lady with
thing TO him, and Immediately the little
boy arose and gave the strapholding lady
his seat. That was a noble act Of that
mother. She couldn't have done a inner
thing for that boy. II was worth six
months Of school, She taught a lesson
of gentllitN and courtesy that In some
way would enter into the boys life and
make a true man of him, II was little

Sometimes we see mothers who are not
that way, but who actually encourage
their boys 10 keep their seats ana thus
teach a lesson of discourtesy and mean
ness. OF course such mothers are very
ignorant or they wouldn't act that way

ST. HENRY LAD
Becomes Gunner of Note, Super.
iOrs Saying Work rs Little
Short of Marvellous.

In an official bulletin issued by head
quarters United States Marine Corps,
Washington, appears the name of Frank
HOFFMAN, ST. Henry, this county as hav
ing qualified for a masksman in the most
interesting branch of the government
service.
Frank, who is the son of Louis Koth-
man, ST. Henry, enlisted i'm the United
States Marine Corps at its Dayton re-
cruiting station on July 13, 1915, and is
now serving with the eXpeditionary force
lection of American interests on that
war torn little isle.
Considering the fact that HOFFMAN is
scarcely more than recruit, his perfor-
nance in gunnery is considered as little
short of marvellous by Marne Corps Off
cials and they expect him to break some
craftsmanship records before his enlist
ment expires.

County Republicans to put w. c. Par

is led by James w Halfhill, Parmenter's

because it is intended as a reprimand for
assistance in the Burton Willis slate
Halfhill will contest Parmenter for the
place on the state central committee.
Among other ramifcations of the trouble
is wet and dry scrap, a desire to ditch
