BURY Their DEAD
in Front YARDS
OTHER QUEER FEATURES OF
UNIQUE VIRGINIA TOWN
NO MURDERS.

On his cruise down the Potomac
abroad the Mayflower, last Saturday,
the President and Mrs. Wilson visited
Tangier, a quaint old Virginia town,
situated on an island of the same
name near the mouth of the river in
Chesapeake Bay. They passed sew
eral hours there, visiting the places
of interest in the little community,
where fishing is the only industry
The town of Tangier is peculiar in
many ways and interested the Pres
ident immensely, according to those
who accompanied the party from the
Mayfiower, which anchored a short
distance from the island. One of the
oddities, they said, is the fact that
the yards in front of the houses are
the burying places for the family
dead.
The yards are small-not larger
than two good sized rooms-but in
each of them are graves-here four
or five and there nine or ten, with
elaborate monuments and customary
head stones. The lawns are green
and we'll kept, with neat walks and
fences. Flowers grow all around the
graves.
Tangier is one of the few towns in
the country-maybe the only town
which never has had an automobile,
no matter how tiny. There are no
horses or wagons there either. for
there is no place for them. The single
street which the town boasts is only
six feet wide. The only way to get
there is by fiat-bottom boat, for the
water is so shallow that even the
tender of yact cannot be brought to
shore. There are no docks.
There has not been a murder in
Tangier for more than forty years.
The pepole are so good they do not
have a sheriff or any other officer OF
the law.

A Big PRIZE
FOR Pig CLUBS
Offered BY General Coleman
du Pont anda Other
Wealthy Men

In an address to the members OF
the Louisville Board of Trade one day
last week, Gen. Coleman du Pont
praised the movement now on foot by
various wealthy citizens to raise
Big Prize Fund for Pig Clubs all over
the State, which Is 10 be distributed
among boys and girls producing the
best hog at the lowest cost per pound
under rules to be formulated by the
Louisville Board Of Trade and the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
tisn.
Gen du Pont who, by the way, is a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for President. told the audience
that his sense of business efficiency
bad been outraged for years because
NJ the great waste of such fine stock
feed at the distillery plants of the
State, when the farmers could fatten
their hogs on It at a small percentage
of what 1t required TO make the same
number of pounds from feeding corn.
Now" said he, that the farmer
has an opportunity to get this concen-
trated feed at very low price from
the distilleries and that a movement is
on foot to raise Big Prize Fund to
be awarded Pig Clubs throughout the
State where this heretofore waste ma
terial is used as part rations, l am
willing TO contribute $4,000 or more
to said fund"
To this amount was promptly added
another $4,000 by Mr.. James Thomp-
son, Of Louisville, one of the candi-
dates hosts. who. by the way, is using
his good Offices for increasing the fund
10 several thousand dollars, making II
worth while for boys and giris in near
ly every county TO go after a prize.
Several prizes have already been
awarded in Daviess county. where
some $4,000 hogs are fattened annual
ly ON the liquid feed products that
heretofore has been run on into the
streams or dried up and shipped
abroad for cattle feed.

Look to United States.

every leading statesman in South
America with whom talked empha-
sized the paramount Importance of
merchant marine under the flag of
the United States, or under the flags
of the different American nations, If
American financial and commercial
relations ere to be enlarged upon an
enduring foundation. The hope was
expressed in every country and was
voiced in the resolutions unanimously
adopted by the international high
commission that the United States
will promptly solve this pressing
problem, and there was frank recog-
milton that the United States alone
has the financial resources to do so.
Another question of great i'm
portance is the completion of the in
tercontinental railway connecting
North and South America through
the Isthmus of Panama. Outside of
ocean transportation. no other under
taking is more essential to the future
development of North and South
America than the construction of this
great railroad. 1t is not visionary
idea; it is a very practical idea, and
one that can be realized at much less
cost than the Panama Canal.
1.-THE total distance between New
York and Buenos Aires by rail is TO-
800 miles, of which approximately
7,40O miles have been built and are
now in operation, leaving approx
mately 1900 miles to be constructed.
The principal gaps in the intercontin-
entail railway are in the countries OF
Central America and in Colombia,
Ecuador and Peru in South America,
and the estimated cost of construc-
ton is, roughly speaking, $15O,OO0,-
600. With these links completed 1t
would require only relatively small
amount of additional construction to
connect the main trunk line with
Santiago, Chile and Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, and then practically all the
principal capitals of Central and
South America will be connected with
each other and with all the cities of
the United States. "All aboard for
Buenos Aires" when shouted in the
railroad stations of New York City,
will be a thrilling announcement.
Some day, and in the not remote flu
ture, this announcement will be
heard"

FRIENDLY FEELING FOR
UNITED STATES SHOWN
SECRETARY McADOO REVIEWS
SOUTH AMERICAN
TRIP.

Washington, May S.-Secretary
McAdoo, back from the Buenos Aires
meeting of the international high
commission, declared in a statement
that leading South American states
men agreed with him that quick de-
velopement of a merchant marine
under an American flag and compile
ton of a pan-American railway are
the most important factors to be con-
sidered in plans for closer unity
among American nations. The sec
rotary and the other members of the
United States section of the commits
sion reached Hampton Roads on the
cruiser Tennessee early today and
Immediately came to the capital. ,
Mr.. McAdoo, as head of the sec
ton, reviewed the work of the Buenos
Aires meeting at length and announc-
ed that in all countries he visited on
the way back from Argentina he
found a most friendly feeling toward
the United States.
81 had the honor and privilege of
meeting and conversing with the
presidents of Brazil, Uruguay, Ar
gentina, Chile, Peru, Panama, Cuba
and Haiti, and / also met many of the
leading statesmen of South America
with whom l discussed questions of
national interest" said the state
ment. Everywhere found an earn
est desire to strengthen commercial,
financial and political relations with
the United States, and everywhere
we went there was a genuinely
friendly attitude and a complete alb
sence of that suspicion and distrust
of the United States which has, until
recently, existed to more or less
degree in some, at least, of the Cen
trail and South American countries.
This is a very fortunate develope-
ment. It is due primarily to the
policies and utterances of President
Wilson and to the suggestions made
by the United States for mutual guar
antees of the territorial integrity and
political independence of all the
American republics.

COOPERATIVE BUYING OF
FERTILIZERS ESSENTIAL
Farmers Are Asking Everywhere,
"How Much Can We Afford to Pay
for Phosphate 7"-If We Buy Singly
We Pay the highest Price.

(By ]. c. McAmis, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee)
The price of phosphate fertilizers
has gone sky high. 1t is retailing in
many places for $500 per ton and
over. Farmers are asking every
where, How much can we afford to
pay for phosphate?" 1t depends upon
conditions.
Experiments and field practice has
amply proven that phosphate can be
used under average conditions with a
greater chance of profit than any of
the commercial fertilizers. Soils and
crops which are in need of the ele-
ment phosphorus will justify $4,000
per ton for acid phosphate. We can
afford to pay it if we must. But must
we? Phosphate must be used, but is
it necessary to pay $4,000 for it? II
we buy singly we pay the highest
price: II we buy collectively we have
every advantage in buying at the low
est price.
One hundred Knox county farmers
bought collectively during the past
year 10 tons of acid phosphate at
$14.90 per ton, when it was retailing to
individuals for $3.50 per ton. There
was an actual saving of $3.50 per ton.
Besides, the fertilizer was delivered in
car load lots to the nearest railroad
station. Instead of having to haul 1t
by wagon from Knoxville, it is esti-
mated that they saved 1900 miles
haul, which was an even greater ad-
vantage than the reduction in the first
cost.
The first essential in such co-opera-
tive relations was mutual confidence
They obtained it by frank, open dis
cussion of the phosphate problem
They determined the amount that they
needed and agreed upon a spokesman
who should correspond with number
of wholesale fertilizer dealers and OBJ
tain their bids.
It would seem to be a more profita-
BILE thing to launch and put over"
such an enterprise in a community
than to bubble about the chance OF
profit or loss from the use Of phos-
phate. 1t is a necessity if 1t Is de-
ficient in the soil.

COST OF KEEPING
THE BREEDING COWS
on siiase and cottonseed
MeaI--summering on Pasture.

(By C. d. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
Twenty head of registered beef COWS
were used in a recent three-year ex-
periment at the Pennsylvania Expert
ment Station. They were fed for
period of 40 days during the winter
on silage and cottonseed meal. They
consumed on the average approximate
ly 60 pounds of silage and one pound
Of cottonseed meal per head daily.
During this period they gained IN
weight an average of over one pound
per day per head.
The silage was fed twice per day
and the meal once. These COWS were
allowed to run loose in well-bedded
open shed, with free access to water
II required four tons of silage to win
ter each COW, which at rate OF $2.50
per ton would make silage for each
COW cost $1,000.
The cottonseed meal at $4,000 per
ton would cost per cow about $500
for the winter.
Total cost of feed per cow was then
$1,000 for 140 days.
It is interesting to note that nearly
five tons of manure was produced by
each COW during the period, which at
$500 per ton would be worth $1,000
Also each COW gained in weight 1854
soI, Of Re
would be worth $500, but of course
this is of no value unless the animal
was marketed, excepting that 1t in
sures that the cow goes on grass in
good condition.
When these cows were turned on
grass in the spring they continued to
make satisfactory daily gains, indicat-
ing that silage, even when fed in rath-
err large quantities, is in no manner in
furious,
This experiment was carried on for
period of three years and the re-
suits noted here are an average of the
three seasons totals. The whole ex-
neriment was carried out as nearly as
possible like on the average farm, so
that no doubt the results can be dupli.
Gated there.
Pasturage was charged against each
COW at $3.50 per summer, making an
average yearly feed bill of $3.50. The
pasture land was valued at $4,000 per
acre.
These cows were regular and salts
factory breeders during this period,
showing that conditions were faVora'
bile to the purpose Of the plan.
Such experiments give fair idea OF
feed costs on beef breeding herd and
are an interesting study.
