Alfalfa and Cattle
In Alabama,

The Home and Farm af May is,
had a fine article on Alfalfa and
Cattle in Alabama" in which it
shows that several Southern States,
in particular Alabama and Missis-
sippi, are rapidly taking high rank
among the states producing beef
cattle and much Of the progress is
due to the introduction Of alfalfa
both as pasture and a hay crop. M.
C. Crabb near Demopolis, Alabama,
three years ago put in three acres
Of alfalfa and today has 100 acres
on which he pastures 1870 head Of
cattle all the year around and gets
three cuttings of hay. Where there
is no grazing the alfalfa yields five
or six cuttings, but the cattle thrive
all the year around on that pastur-
age and the plan Of Mr.. Crabb pays
best. 1t has been demonstrated
that alfalfa can be grown in Tennes-
see as well as in any of the South
ern States, as shown by the fact
that some sections all other clovers
were abandoned several years ago.

Platform For New
Road System.

The democratic platform, for the
first time in the history Of the state,
declares against leasing any con-
victs and in favor Of working them
on the roads instead of in the coal
mines. This will be an important
advance. Recent experiments in
the use of convicts on the roads in
counties have proven that the work
may be well done, and certainly the
men are better off. The state should
dispose Of its coal property and
build the general system Of roads
needed A tax must be levied for
these intercounty roads, The state
must force certain counties to coop
crate in road building. Nation,
state and local communities are in
terested now in roads. Tennessee
is Tagging behind in this respect, de-
spite all our conventions and talk.
Our highways so far largely are on
paper. The democratic party should
Oct behind road building.

Tennessee Politics
Friendly to Shields

Thomas Fountleroy, staff CORE
spondent Of the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal, at Nashville, is Of the
opinion that the present governing
body in Tennessee politics is friend
ly to the influence Of the Senator
John X. Shields crowd. This may
be true and for a time Senator
Shields may be the boss manipula-
tor Of politics in the Volunteer
State, but the Senator must know
that at best this power is but a
fleeting one and will add nothing to
the sum total Of whatever honors
may come into his life. Senator
Shields made a good name on the
Supreme bench Of the State and he
has ample opportunity to make a
Senator whose name will shine on
the future pages Of Tennessee and
Democratic history, but as a faction
al boss neither he or any other man
can win any permanent honor.
