On account of SO many dark days
during the past week or two it has
been necessary to keep many of the

We might explain that the pans
found about the building are placed
there to catch the water that finds its
way through the roof during every
heavy rain.
Short Thanksgiving programs were
given in the different grade rooms
Wednesday afternoon. No elaborate
Christmas celebrations will be under
taken by the schools, the children being
released for the practices and exercises

ONE of the southern candi
dates for COVE says Idaho
can be made a taxless state
by selling all the state lands
quickly and letting the pro-
ceeds grow on compound
interest for a hundred years
or SO. A rival candidate says
the lands cannot be sold in a
hurry to any advantage. and
if they could be the interest
would probably be spent each
year for state purposes, thus
Il aving the state still far from
taxless at the end of a hun
dred years. To save the
interest, a hundred years
would mean that the taxpay-
ers would not receive a cent
of benefit from the sale of the
state lands during all that
time.

IT all seems clear enough.
Villa, the bandit, murderer,
general, incensed at the Unit
ed States for recognizing the
government of his erstwhile
chief, Carranza, now his
enemy, crept with his maraud-
ers into New Mexico and per-
petrated an outrage that he
well knew would stir the
American nation to action.
BY a bold stroke he would
bring the troops of the United
States pouring angrily into
Mexico, the one thing that
would make the Mexican fac
tions forget their own quar-
rels and rivalries-everything,
but their hatred for the
American, and unite them in
common cause to repel the
northern invader. In the new
situation, thus created, he
would vault to power, and
Carranza, deserted and dis
credited, would have to yield
to him the craftsmanship he
has SO long coveted. All this
may have been Villas far
sighted purpose when he
made that raid into New Mex
leo last week. Who knows?
Only the developments of the
next few days, weeks or
months will tell.

RED CLOVER AND
SOIL FERTILITY

(By j. C. McAmis, Division OF Expan-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
There is a cornfield in Sewer coun-
ty which contains a surprise for most
visitors. 1t is not the corn itselt,
though it promises an excellent YIELD
It is the stand of red clover growing
in the corn-almost ideal, both in
stand and size. 1t is the only field Oh
the kind in the community. Why?
Why has not the sowing of red clio
yer at the last cultivation become a
common practice throughout the
state? Because it has too often
failed. Why did this particular crop
succeed? There are several factors
involved-late cultivation, medium
thin stand of corn, favorable season,
etc
1t was no mere coincidence that this
clover should be found only in new
ground. 1t just happened that in the
same field there was some old land
where the clover was practically a
failure. The newer the land the bet

A STORY OF TWO
FARMER NElGHBoRS
fBy c. d. Lowe. Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee)

NV q ID. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennesseel
This is a tale of two Tennessee
,armers. They are neighbors. We
shall call one of them Mr.. Lee and the
ether Mr.. Jackson, because these are
not their names.
They each possess rather large
areas of grazing land, which for many
years they have devoted to the pro-
auction of beef cattle, selling their
stock in the fall as feeders"
About five years ago Mr.. Lee pur-
chased a registered beef bull of good
type. Since that time he has used this
hnu and another equally as good on
his herd of grade females.
During the same time Mr.. Jackson
has continued to use grade bulls of
VARYING individuality on his females.
An observation and study of their
nroduct for the past two years at mar
keting time revealed the following:
Mr. Lee had each year carload of
two-year-old feeder steers, that weigh
cd from 500 to 900 pounds, for which
an out of the state buyer was glad to
pay him TX cents per pound.
Mr.. Jackson has also had carload
for sale each of these years, but they
were -year-olds and weighed no
more than Mr.. Lees two-year-olds.
] For these medium grade and scrub
steers Mr. jackson had difficulty in
obtaining cents per pound, for the
past two years.
What does this mean? Mr.. Lee was
able to make his steers weigh as much
at two years of age as Mr.. Jackson al
three years old, thus saving a full
years keep They were also of suffi
GENTLY better quality and type to out
sell his neighbours production by IN
cents per pound.
Moral: Buy better bull.
