COOPERATIVE BUYING of
FERTILIZERS ESSENTIAL
Farmers Are Asking Everywhere,
"How Much Can We Afford to Pay
for Phosphate ?"-lf We Buy slngIy
We Pay the Highest Price.
(By ]. c. McAmis, Division OF Exten'
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division OF Extcn.
sion, University of Tennessee.)
The price OF phosphate fertilizers
has gone sky high. 1t is retailing in
many places for $500 per ton and
over. Farmers are asking every.
where, How much can we AFFORD to
pay for phosphate?" 1t depends upon
conditions.
Experiments and field practice has
amply proven that phosphate can be
used under average conditions with a
greater chance of profit than any Of
the commercial fertilizers. Soils and
crops which are in need of the ele-
ment phosphorus will justify $4,000
per ton for acid phosphate. We can
afford to pay 1t II we must. But must
wef Phosphate must be used, but Is
1t necessary to pay $4,000 fer it? If
we buy singly we pay the highest
price; II we buy collectively we have
every advantage in buying at the low
est price.
One hundred, Knox county farmers
bought collectively during the past
year 10 tons of acid phosphate at
Sl4.s0 per ton, when 1t was retailing to
individuals for $3.50 per ton. There
was an actual saving of $3.50 per ton.
Besides, the fertilizer was delivered in
car load lots to the nearest railroad
station. Instead OF having to haul It
by wagon from Knoxville, 1t is esti-
mated that they saved 1900 miles
haul, which was an even greater adj
vantage than the reduction in the first
cost
The first essential In such co-opera-
tive relations was mutual confidence.
They obtained It by frank, open dis
cussion OF the phosphate problem.
They determined the amount that they
needed and agreed upon spokesman
who should correspond with number
OF wholesale fertilizer dealers and OBJ
tain their bids.
II would seem to be q more profita-
BILE thing to launch and put over"
such an enterprise in a community
than TO bubble about the chance OF
profit or loss from the use of phos-
phate. II is necessity II 1t is de-
ficient in the soil.

County Agent w. K. Upton, Of VIII
son county, reports that the Baird's
Mil Lamb Club sold Its lambs for de-
livery in Lebanon, May 30, at eleven
and q half cents q pound.
That fact should set every farmer
In Tennessee to thinking.
A West Tennessee farmer owned 10
swes last winter, from which he raised
30 lambs. This Is far above the aver
age, but put these two facts Of higA
price and high possible production to-
gether and nothing in the whole range
Of agriculture is richer In suggestion

In the eleventh census every county
In Tennessee but one reported some
sheep, Wilson county leading with &c.

56,59S; Maury, Williamson, Lincoln
and Sumner counties following, each
having over 10000. 0bion county led
West Tennessee in sheep production
with 1868 and Hawkins headed the
list of East Tennessee counties with
1854. The total number of sheep in
the state was 795,O33
Wilson county farmers got eleven
and a half cents a pound for lambs
sold in May.
These lambs we're raised largely on
pasture. The pasture was the fall
sown fields and crimson clover. In
the case of the grain the fields we're
not pastured close enough to interfere
materially with the grain crop, The

crimson clover can be followed by

(By c. D. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee.)
Observations made over this stats
indicate that our live stock shelters
are largely of the two extremos-thAt
Is, none at all, or too costly character
OF course the latter class are few In
number.
Somehow most of US have had the
idea that because we lived in Sunny
Tennessee, our live stock needed nc
shelter and that such things we're for
the up-north stockman. Never were
we more mistaken.
The prime necessity for live stock
shelter is not so much for protection
against extreme cold, as many believe
as against cold rains, sleet and soft
SHOWS. Sufficient feed of the proper
constituency together with heavy win
ter hair-coats of animals offer enough
resistance to mere dry cold in any
temperate climate.
Our winter rains, sleets, etc, are
heavier and more frequent than in
many sections of the North. There
fore, we do need the proper kind OF
shelters, more, even, than many north
ern locations.
However, the protection needed Is In
expensive. Anything that provides q
waterproof overhead covering and
breaks side-drafts is sufficient Such
conveniences may be found in mere
open sheds with roof, and one side and
one end boarded up leaving southern
exposure open. Such structures need
only to be sufficient size to accommo
date the stock while eating their feed
1t is also necessary to give some at
tention to the conservation of the
manure. Retaining walls of concrete
or even solid concrete floors in feed.
lots are often advisable.
Tight barns or poorly ventilated
barns are perhaps worse than none
since 1t is now evident in many places
that such structures have become sim.
ply incubators for diseases as tuber-
culosis.
Good barns will make surer the
health of the animals.

University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is

Division is at the service of any citi-
