up the rough feeds of his farm, to
make manure to build up the fertility
of his land and to produce calves to

The important difference between
the dairyman and the beef man is in
the fact that the dairyman's farm is
so situated that he has a market for
dairy products, the beef man does not
have this market so must be content
to sell a less peTishable product

business because they are looking out
for the fertility of their farms first.
men has a supply of milk and butter
for his family. This is aside from the
main purpose of keeping cows. how
ever.
There are thousands of farmers in
Tennessee who do not keep COWS to
eat up the rough feeds on their farms,
who pay no attention to the produc-
tion and value of manurS. who do not
sell milk and butter, but keep cows
for the sole purpose Of having a sup
ply of milk and butter for their fami-
lies. In the fall they sell a bunch of
scrawny calves that are a disgrace to
the community.
They miss the three main purposes
of keeping COWS and feel content il
the old COW gives a gallon of milk for
six months and loafs for the other six.
They should keep COWS enough to
consume all the rough feeds they can
produce.
They should make every bit of
manure they can.
They probably should not try to sell
milk and butter for they have no mar
ket, but they should sell a good calf
for every COW every year. The only
way to do this is to keep cows that
will raise good calves when bred to
pure bred bulls of one of the beef
breeds, Take the COW that you have.
no matter what kind, and breed her
to pure-bred Angus, Hereford, Short

CLINCHFIELD INDICTMENT is
EXPLAINED BY COMMISSION

Washington, Nov. THE interstate
comerce commission made an an
nounccment explaining indictments
by a federal grand jury at Salisbury,
N. c., last Thursday against the Car
olina, CIinchfield and Ohio railway
for granting freight rate concessions
bq extension of credit for approXi-
mately 100000 and against the
Clinchfield Coal Corporation for re-
ceiying those concessions.
The coal corporatio nshipped from
its Virginia mines to itself at Bostic,
Yard, N. c., fro storage 900 tons.
The railways tariff provided that on
such coal the local rate Of $1.95 per
ton should be collected but that when
the coal was reshipped the inbound
charges should be refunded and the
through rate from the mines charged.
THE result of this arrangement"
the commission announced, was to
extend credit to the coal corporation
on the differences between $1.95 and
Is cents a ton on $4,000 tons, or cred
it on $4,000 for more than year.
Similar action was taken with respect
to $4,000 tons. The Indictment against
the carrier charges that by the eX-
tension Of credit for each of the two
periods mentioned the railway was
guilty of granting concessions in yio-
lation of the Elkins act"

DOUBTFUL
THE DRIFT TO THE CITIES

There will probably I ever again be
time in this country when the peo-
pie of he rural districts viii exercise
a controlling influence in the govern
ment Of this country.
When the next census is taken in
the United States, it will show that a
large majority of the population of
tn ecountry will be found in towns
and in cities with a population of ten
thousand and up. 1t will not be that
way in tn eSouth, nor in the Wst;
but it will be so in the East and in
the Middle West.
But while that is all so, and while
one cannot foretell what Influence it
may exert upon the nations govern
ment, it will be easily seen that in
the very nature of things, larger val
ues must and will attach to American
farm lands.
The millions in the cities and towns
of the nation must be clothed and
fed fro mthe products of the soil The
owners of the soil will be the owners
Of that which is the very foundation
of human and animal life, and as the
members Of those to be fed goes on
increasing each yea rand e; ch decade
grows larger, the value of farm lands
viii run higher and higher.
The owner of a farm is the owner
of that which is ofe more permanent
and lasting value than a gold mine.
A sold mine is subject to exhaustion,
and when exhausted it is valueless.
But the farmer who owns the soil
knows how to care for it, VIII be able
to add to its fertility and its pro-
ductiyeness year by year, and its val
ne is beyond exhaustion.
The man who has money and in
vests in farm lands, not for specula-
tion alone, but for production. is max
ing an investment that will produce
paying dividends as long as he lives.
and he will leave to his posterity that
which will add to the enrichment of
life.-Journal and Tribune.

L. $. FOREIGN TRADE FOR

VIII Amount to 0ne-Fif;h of Entire
International Trade of World

New York. Nov. 6.-The foreign
trade of the United States for the cal
endar year 1916 will approximate the
sum of $4,000, 100000, or about one
fifth of the entire international trade
of the world, accordingto estimates
made public here today by the for
eign trade department of the Nation
al City Bank.
It will be so per cent. greater than
in 1915 and double that of 1914. EX-

proximate $1,000 100000 against ST.
768,SS4 900 in 1-15, 1924. .34S, 900 in 1914
and S691 ,422 900 in 1913.
Complete figures for the commerce
of the entire country in the months
ending with September are at hand.
as are also those of this port which
is accepted as an index of the entire
countrys trade for October Figures
for the 8 months ending with Septem-
Der show a total commerce of $780,

corresponding period of 1915 and $2,
S77OO0,O0O in the 9 months of 1914
October figures of the port of New
York indicate that the total trade
will equal and probably exceed that
of September. Both imports and ex-
ports will make new records in the
current year.

Barring some wholly unexpected
turnover in the incomplete states lean
ing towards lson, or a change on

the Democratic column gave Wilson
2G9 electoral votes without New Mex

not believed this advantage could be

Disappointment was felt among many
voters because Sells and Worley were
without opposition, the argument be
ing made that candidote without op-

triotic spirit of the voters.

probably less than a hundred Demo-

spite of this, W. S. Tucker, of that

this unusual victory in Unicoi. How
for the reason that he carried the ad-

PAPER MILLS ARE TO
Use NEW WOODS

Washington, Oct. 7.-As a result of
studies which have been made at the
Forest Products Laboratory on the
methods Of handling wood chips suit
able for paper pulp, it is announced
that Wisconsin paper companies are
now negotiating with the railroads for
shipment to their factories of expert
mental train loads of chips of west
ern woods adapted to paper making.
Previous Investigations by the For
est Service have demonstrated that
good grades Of paper can be made
from number Of western woods The
experts now estimate that some of
these woods, when cut into chips and
dried and baled, can be delivered to
tn emills in Wisconsin at a very small
advance owe rthe cost of chips made
from local timber. If a favorable
freight rate can be obtained, they say
the great quantity of pulpwood on the
National Forests should prove to be
considerable factor in supplying IA
vorably located paper mills with the
necessary raw material. In Wiscon-
sin alone, it is stated. there is an an
nual makot for over 100000 cords of
pulpwood.
