vance steps being taken by the farm
ers of Tennessee. He says the agri-
culturists of this state are reading.

fore.
In view Of the fact that the College
of Agriculture, University of Tennes.
see, at Knoxville, will on January /,
1917, open its short course, to run for
six weeks, he is anxious to have all
who contemplate taking this course
send their names at once to Prof II. A.
Morgan at Knoxville. No fee or en-
trance are required, and the course
Is open to all, old or young-women
as well as men. The railroads will
make reduced rates to those who at.
tend the course.
The subjects to be taught at this
short course include: Soil and crops,
dairying, live stock. truck and fruit
and fruit growing, and general farm
management. The commissioner says
he feels that this Is an offering to the
farmers that has no parallel. since II
requires so little time and small ex-
pense with such beneficial results.
Highway Department Is Busy.
Among the activities OF the state
highway department mention may be
made Of the fact that II has recently
taken over for maintenance that part
Of the Dixie highway running through

built by the citizens of Tullahoma and
the people living along the road. The
