SOIL PREPARATION FOR
"CORN LAND" WHEAT
(By ]. C. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee)
Whatever may be said against the
practice, it is common in many places
in Tennessee to follow corn with
wheat. The soil is often prepared sim
ply by discing thoroughly where, after
the corn is removed, the land is left
reasonably clean because of low fer
tility, dry seasons and late cultivation.
Usually on richer land, stalks, weeds,
and grass will not permit a suitable
preparation by only discing, so that it
is necessary to turn the soil.
All grains need a deep but firm seed
bed. To obtain it some notifications
to each of the above methods Of soil
preparation are necessary. If the land
Is rolling and prepared by discing
alone, there is danger of washing, be-
cause there is not sufficient depth to
absorb the abundant winter rains. The
wheat is s0wn too late, the preceding
crop has left the soil with too little fer
tility and moisture to form a cover
sufficient to hold the land. If it is
turned, there is little time for settling
by rains before the wheat is sown.
Breaking with the subsoil pillow is
the way out of the first condition.
Depth may be obtained and yet leave
the soil reasonably firm by running
the suhsoil plow under each corn row
and once in the middle. Then follow
with disc The depth obtained will
prevent washing until the crop is well
established.
Sometimes the stalks and grass
must be turned. The soil is left rea-
sonably loose with layer or more of
loose vegetable matter, which decays
slowly between the top soil and the
subsoil. Wheat roots naturally go
deeper into the subsoil than we think,
but they can not cross this space.
Therefore, if turning is absolutely
necessary, disc we'll beforehand to mix
the vegetable matter with the soil and
follow with the roller in order to give
firmness.

SUCCESSFUL COMMUNITY
BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
by R. NJ Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By R. NJ. Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
On September 8Oth the Campbell
vile Shorthoru Breeders Association
held their second annual sale of regis
tered Shorthorn cattle. Campbellville
is o small town located in the center
of a good farming community, in Giles
county, fifteen miles from the county
seat. Pulaski This Association is of
the type that promises to do much to-
ward the Improvement of livestock.
II is a community organization, the
outgrowth of the efforts of a few men
in the community who realized the I'M
portance of organic ION. They have
a fine grazing country, excellent pas
lures. good water and they wanted
good cattle. Instead of every man
buying a different breed as his fancy
might have suggested, they got to-
gether and decided that as a commu- ,
nifty they would breed Shorthorns. AS
a result, they already have a good /,
start and are getting excellent adver-
Using at a minimum cost. None of
the members have herds sufficiently
large to attract very much attention,
and yet, by combining their offerings,
they are able to have an attractive
sale annually. The herds vary in size
from fifteen breeding cows down to
two or three, their intention being to
grow into the business as they can
afford to.
The foundation animals were not
fancily bred and bought at high prices,
but now that they are getting started
they have purchased for the use of
the community an excellent young
herd bull. No one of them could hard
ly have afforded this young bull for
his own personal use, but as a COM
munity they can have him available
at but a small cost to any one. In
this way they are taking advantage
of the most rapid and most economical
method of Improvement. AS the years
go by the value Of this association
will greatly increase. The community
will gain a reputation for good cattle
Their cattle will become more and
more uniform, unlike the average COM
munity, which has a general mixture
of every breed and reputation for
nothing enviable The need of finding
market will disappear, the market
will be hunting for them.

SELLING A THICK CREAM
(By G. A. Gilbert, U. S. Department of
Agriculture)

(By G. A. Gilbert, U. S. Department of
Agriculture.)
Whenever cream is sold on the basis
of butter fat 1t contains, there are many
advantages of separating it so that it
tests from 300 to 40%, rather than
from POO to 800. One should under.
stand first that good separator takes
the fat out of the milk just as com
pletely when it is set for thick cream
as when set to separate a thin cream.
We may look at it in this way-all the
fat is thrown out of the cream spout
of the separator in either case, and the
test of the cream depends upon the
amount of skim milk that comes out
with the fat to dilute it.
SO in separating thick cream more
skim milk is left on the farm for feed
ing, in a years time this will amount
to considerable extra skim milk.
With a thick cream there is less to
handle, haul to the creamery, or ship.
Fifty pounds of 1919 cream contains
as much fat as 100 pounds of 2O%o
cream. Besides, it means smaller or
less cream cans. Cream should be
cooled Immediately after separating.
A thick cream is less bulk, so requires
less cold water or ice, and the cooling
is easier and more quickly accom-
plished.
A thick cream can be delivered to
the creamery in better condition. 1t
is we'll known that it is easier to keep
high-testing cream sweet, and one can
win a reputation Of always bringing in
a nice quality cream.
Aside from the advantages to the
farmer, the creameryman always pre-
fers a thick cream. 1t enables him to
make better butter, and to make it at
less cost This in itself finally results
to the advantage of the patron The
creameryman and patron should CO.
operate in every way possible, and
there is no way by which the patron
can help the buttermaker, and at the
same time directly benefit himself,
than by selling a thick cream.
