But why should Tennessee gardens

withstands frost and cold. 1t revels

plentiful supply. But in many gardens
the onion has a monopoly of space

1t just happens that three or four
other very useful early vegetables

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 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 we're maintained in
Tennessee from which we're sent daily
market reports to those desiring such.
The telegraphic reports cost those who
received them the expense of the tele.
graphic service; the reports that we're
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 reports were telegraphed daily
by the railroads, government off,
Gals and others to headquarters
at Washington. They we're 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 IL they asked for It, Through
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 blu.
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.
The Division Of Extension of the
University of Tennessee, Knoxville,
has been cooperating with the Office
Of Markets in the establishment of
better market conditions and knowl
edge and will be glad to take up with
anyone any peculiar problems sur.
rounding his work. The Office OF Mar
kets does not restrict its efforts to per
lshable products, but takes an active
interest in every farm crop.

WHAT MACHINERY
SHOULD BE BOUGHT
High-Prced Machines Lie Idle Too
Much Of the Time-co-operative
Buying Suggested.

(By c. E. Alfred, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee.)
This is the age of machinery. In
fact, machinery enables the small
number of farmers to grow food
enough to support the large number OF
persons who are engaged in the many
other industries. The farmers must
determine what machinery to buy,
what makes are best, and how to han.
die machinery to get the fullest use
Of it.
Whether or not it will pay to buy
any particular machine depends on
~ where the machine is to be used,
(2) the possibility of hiring the work
done at the desired time, and 90
how much the capital is needed for
other purposes.
In every community there are farm.
ers who have too little machinery for
their farms, and about the same mum.
Der who have too much. One extreme
is as bad as the other. 1t does not pay
to keep 800 machine when 1t is used
only two or three days a year, as this
makes the cost for repairs, interest
and depreciation from 81 to $40 day
The work can be hired done for less
than this.
A better method is for two or more
farmers to buy a machine in partner
ship. In order to avoid confusion each
man should understand definitely when
he may expect the use of the machine
Who is to house it and repair it should
be known.
The young man who is short OF
money can often buy most of his ma
chinery at public sales and save con.
siderable of his money for other uses.
If good judgment is used, one may buy
very cheaply in this way. The man
with plenty of money may prefer to
buy his machinery new.

POLITICAL SITUATION
IN CHINA DESCRIBED
Militarism Not Confined to the North
ern Portion.

Picking, July Recent political
strife in China has shown that the ar
bitrary division of Chinese politics in
to northern and southern parties is
decidedly misleading. There are many
factions in China which defy definite
classification. But in a general way
Chinese leaders may be classed as
members of a military and members
of non-military party.
Yuan Shi-kai was the chief exponent
of the views adhered to by the militia
ry clan. He believed in rule by might,
and created a military organization
which became decidedly topheavy.
Many southern men shared Yuan Shi-
kai's views. Liang Shih-yi and sew
eral of the other leaders whose powers
waned with the death of Yuan Shi-kai,
were Cantonese.
Militarism has not been confined to
the north, and geographical lines are
in no way indicative of political views.
Tuan Chi-jui, the premier under Yuan
Shi-kai, who has been reappointed by
Lii Yuanhung, is militarist, but did
not share the imperial aspirations of
Yuan Shi-kai. He is a republican, but
not as radical a republican as Ii Yuan
hung, the president.
While Ii Yuan-hung is primarily
soldier, and has spent practically all
his life in naval and military effort he
is not an ultra militarist. He believes
in popular rule and has never advo-
Gated an immense army.
Yuan Shi-kai's methods were much
the same as those of the old Manchu
emperors and during his administra-
ton north China was kept at peace by
great military forces, which dominated
the political situation and made it i'm
possible for independent figures from
the south to come to Picking. This
military strength has been transferred
to Tuan Chi-jui. The methods of the
military have been so reprehensible
that even now southern leaders are un-
willing to risk their lives in Picking,
and refuse to come here for confer
ence. Shanghai is the center from
which most of the negotiations for a
settlement of the present controver-
sizes are conducted.
The militar party, of which Tuan
Chi-jui is one of the chief members,
is quite willing to disband the north
ern armies and replace the troops now
n Peking with southern soldiers. The
revolutionary leaders insist that this
must be done before harmony can be
re-established between the warning
factions and Picking rendered a safe
capital for legislators of all political
factions.
Broadly speaking the great factions
| in Chinese politics might be charac-
terized as the Yuan Shi-kai men and
the anti Yuan Shi-kai men. The for
mer believe a. tremendous military or
ganization is necessary, and have lit
tie faith in popular control of the gov
eminent. The latter believe a great
army has defeated the development of
the Chinese republic under Yuan Shi-
kai, and favor a decided reduction of
the present military strength as the
only possible means of lettering Chi
nese conditions.

date IS FIXED FOR
DEPARTURE FROM CAMP
TENNESSEE TROOPS TO GO TO
MEXICAN BORDER
Over 160 Cars will be Used in Trans
pOrtatiOn.-Will Leave Between
August 10 and August is
All Plans are Completed.

Nashville, July 3O-The Tennessee
troops are going to the border. This
is an assured fact, both as to their To-
location upon their arrival at tie Dor
der and the time they will depart frnrr
Camp Tom C. Rye. The specified tire
is given as between the 10th and 18th
of August" but it is generally belisv-
ed that this means that the Tenr assee
troops will entrain about the 18th.
A camp site is being laid ont for the
troops near FL Paso by members of til.
Thirty-ninth infantry, U. S. A. Hereto
fore no intimation has been given the
military authorities at the camp rs to
the time of departure because the pc
riod was indeterminate as to the time
consumed in equipping the me-. and
getting material from the government
depots. However the men az n)w
considered reasonably equipped and
are well trained for the short time
they have been in camp. No informa-
ton has been given the men because
of the fact that the officers themselves
did not know for a certainty, and did
not wish to bolster up the spirits Of
their men by false reports. These
kinds of rumors have been cir: alated
far too much now for the good o. the
camp.
The railroads prepared a route for
the troop trains some time ac) ard
sufficient coaches are available as well
as kitchen cars and other rollinc stock
necessary for conveyance of TIE reg
iments.
The fact that the Tennessee trosts
are going to the border is expe' led to
prove a great stimulus for recruiting
men for the national guard. Re ruit
ing parties from Camp Rye ar now
over the state mailing a statewide
campaign for new material. They ar
called the flying squadrons" by some
of the military authorities, beca Sc #
the fact that they are not allowed
much time to furnish men befo'c TIL
troops leave. The cities of Nashville,
Chattanooga, Memphis, Knoxville
Jackson and Johnson City are to be th3
home stations of the parties left be-
hind when the guard departs for tn
border.
The troops are expected to be en-
train on the L. & N. siding near the
fair grounds. Details will be ASSIGN
ed to remove camp luggage to the cars
Where others will place them in the
trains. Other details will handle the
loading of the quartermaster's stores,
and system has been worked cut so
that the breaking up Of camp Tom c.
Rye will be done in record time. The
wagon trains will take up a great
deal of space in the trains, which will
average fifteen cars apiece. -Four
trains will be required for the First
Tennessee regiment and four for the
third. The field hospital companies
and Troop B are expected to be sent
in one train of twenty-four cars. This
is known as the separate company ces-
ton, including the ambulance compa-
ny from Memphis. In all from 1872 to
165 cars will be needed to transport
the guardsmen to their destination at
Ell Paso.

STATE FIGHTING
PINE TREE PEST
Five Men Have Been Put in
Charge of the Activities
of the Department

Five fieldmen of the State division
of Economic Zoology have started q
systematic survey of the State to as
certain in what districts the white
pine blister rust is prevalent and to
take immediate steps to give advice to
halt it's spread.
Zoologist ]. G.. Sanders who re-
Gently took charge of the Bureau of
Zoology has made a special study of
the white pine blister rust and he says
that it is very important that every
effort be made to prevent the spread
of the disease in the State. In Eng
land where the blister rust has had a
great spread, it is impossible to grow
white pines in many sections and
should there be a spread in Pennsyl-
vania many thousands of dollars of
timber would be lost.
Already there are six places in the
State where the blister rust has been
found on white pines and both the
Federal and State Departments of
Agriculture are making every effort to
stamp it out.
The five fieldmen assigned to the
work have recently returned from the
Federal Laboratory at Providence, r.
l., where they studied the habits of
the blister rust and methods to be
used for it's determination. The De-
partment of Agriculture is working
IN conjunction with the State Depart
ment of Forestry which is making
every effort to keep blister rust from
the forest preserves of the State. on
cultivated lands the blister rust
spreads to currants and gooseberry
bushes and it may be necessary to de-
stroy these bushes for a considerable
distance where an infection is found
The men assigned to the work and
their districts are:
