strued by the trade generally as indl-
eating that peace was still long way
off, and there was a consequent wide

ments. some transa ction showed rise
of 10 cents a bushel-

lnsonly one instance has change
come iniAmerIca, we believe, as a re-
suit of the war. There Is town in
Canada of about $1,000 inhabitants
that was settled and built up to large
extent by Germans and has many resi-:
dent of German descent. Since it was
named by the Germans 1t was very
naturally called Berlin. Well. change
has come over the people of the town.
Shortly after the great English war
lord, Lord Kitchener, was lost with
all his staff, through the sinking of his
vessel by the Germans, sentiment
grew up to change the name of Berlin.'
Ontario, to Kitchener, which was done
and the town is now known as Kiteh-.
ener and has lost it's German name for
ever.
There may be something IN such
sentiment that satisfies the Canadian.
but to the minds of most people it will
prove a sickly sentiment that is born
more OF foolishness and disregard for
business convenience than anything of
practical worth. 1t is silly to say the
least.

Farmers in some sections claim TO
have done that successfully and he
wishes to learn If that can be done on
this plateau soil. He realizes that such
a course will reduce the phosphorous in
the soil so that few hundred pounds
of acid phosphate will be required
every few years.
The point Mr.. Nelson has in mind is !:
That if it is possible to continue to
improve this plateau soil with crimson
clover and a small amount of stable
manure, whlle producing good crop
Of corn, the problem of successful

MAKING A TEST
Viii Try Turning Under Crimcon Glover
and Corning Land Each Year

Sam Nelson was over from Genesis
Satur lay. Mr.. Nelson Is one of the
successful farmers of that neighbo,-
hood and is always looking for way
to improve his land while producing
good crops.
he now has an experiment on hands
that should prove very interesting to
farmers all over the county. He has a
small held of corn-two and three
fourths acres-that will produce at
least 70 bushels of corn to the acre
this year. He has the field in crimson
clover now and intends to broadcast
manure on at the rate of four to six
loads to the acre and put it in corn
again next year. He plans to keep up
thar method of cultivation for period
of years to determine If 1t Is possible
to grow corn on the same land year
after year and the land constantly i'm
prove, by turning under crimson clover
and top dressing OF manure as stated.

BEATING MAURY COUNTY.
That IsiWhat This County Has Done
the Past Yoar In Fat Hogs.

We recently noticed an article in the
Nashville Banner which told OF farm
er near Columbia, Maury county, hav-
ing sold $5, 600 worth OF fat hogs this
year. Now that was a large amount of
pork to come trou one farm and is a
big performance for any farmer any
where.
Since Maury county IL recognized as
great Central BASIN of Tennessee, that
big. hog sale IS not quite SO much of a
sasRFsa SssH uShe o. n sSs ESsa as hass aaa a1
state. 1t is not likely that farmer
made clean profit Of over ST., 900 on
that bunch of hogs, if he did that.
1t will be surprising to some people
to learn that citizen of this county,
living on this great Cumberland pla-
teau, has surpassed that Maury county
man IN point of actual profit made on
hogs.
Within year X. K Dunbar has sold
$4,000 worth of fat hogs out OF the
woods They did not cost him $l.00
head cash and there is not the slight
est doubt that the net profit to MIR.
Dunbar was fully 81, 500 or even more.
Where does Maury county come in
with such profits as that?
The article went on to state that the
Maury county man had sold all the
hogs he owned, except few he saved
tor home use, and that he had grown
the feed on his farm to tatten all of
them and had raised most of the hOga
on his farm. Big stunt.
In the case OF Mr. Dunbar it cost
him practically nothing to raise or fat
ten those hogs that brought him So, ,OOO
and he now has 200 head or more IN the
woods. With the splendid crop OF
corns-usualy spoken of here as mast
he Will market several hundred dol
lars worth of hogs between now and
next May and they will cost him no
cash outlay worth mentioning.
While no other man in this county
has sold so many dollars worth of hogs
as Mr.. Dunbar, so far as we are aware,
there are very likely more than 100
farmers who took 500 to $500 in hogs
out of the woods last year and did 1t at
about the same small expense as Mr..
Dunbar.
Here are the names, addresses and
amounts that we know of personally
having been sold within the past year.
and there are hundreds more farmers
