FARMERS AND STOCKMEN
SHOULD NOT DISPOSE OF
THEIR FEMALE AMI

The prices obtainable for cattle
and hogs at the present time Of.
fer a strong inducement to sell,
even the female stock, which is
difficu lt to overcome. And yet, ii
owners will give a little thought
to the future, their better judg-
ment will certainly suggest the
retention of a sufficient number
of the younger female animals,
to maintain the supply and meet
the demad for next year at least,
If not for longer. which will un-
doubtedly be great owing to war
conditions.
1t is a fact that, while many
cattle have recently been brought
into Louisiana from the drouth-
stricken sections Of Texas. great
numbers Of both cattle and hogs
are being disposed of, irrespective
of sex. due no doubt to the prot
liable prices that at present can
be had for them There is an old
saving that Money counts. But
how long is it going to count
if our stockmen dispose Of their
female foundations, and after
wards find out. when too late.
that they have deprived them
selves of the necessary females 10
breed from, and are short of
stock to sell another year when
prices will be just as high, if not
ligherY
8 If this practice is persisted in
1T is going to result in a shortage
of meat animals when they may
be needed even more than at the
present time. In other words. 1t
is not going to conserve the meat
supply for ourselves and our al
lies, nor is it going to be the most
profitable to stock owners them
selves.
1t may be quite permissible 10,
get rid of reasonable number OF
the old and improbable female
stuff, but there should be a rigid
line drawn at the younger female
stock, if we hope to maintain and
increase the supply. and meet the
future demands for meat animals,
which is not only common sense
proposition. but a profitable one,
and patriotic duty demanded OF

Don't "Jiggle" the Hook

There are two ways to recall the tele-
phone operator when you ale making a tele.
phone call.
The wrong way is to ''uggle" the hook
so rapidly that the tiny electric lamp that sig
mails the operator in the Central Office does
not remain lighted long enough to attract
the operators attention.
The right way is to move the receiver
hook up and down slowly, SO that the light
will glow and the operator will know that
you are calling her.
The right way saves your time and pa
tience. 1t adds to the speed with which the
operator can serve you. 1t helps improve

Experience has shown that from

give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes a firm seed bed just below
the surface. II the land is quite loose
the roller should be used The in
crease in yield from the firm packing
Of roller will often pay for the roller
In one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out all
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can be
increased five bushels If one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly whole year to grow a crop of
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. 1t does not cost any
more and the profit is so pleasing and
satisfactory. Do your best this time

In the fall months is the best time to
get the vegetable garden ready for
planting. Turnout Tennessee, in all
attitudes Of 1900 feet or less, planting
should begin in January, and from jan
uary to September the garden should
be a place of planting. And so the
time for planting is the late fall
months.
II there is only q little manure, by
all means put 1t in the garden.
Crimson clover, lime, phosphate, and
q little potash can be used to main
tain the fertility of the fields, but we
expect much greater yields of garden
than Of field crops. The quantity of
vegetables depends largely on rapid
growth. There is nothing like manure
to make vegetables grow well.
We have had two gardens at the
Experiment Station. In one CONNER.
cial fertilizers alone were used. In the
other, nothing but barnyard manure
was applied to the soil. The MANFRED
vegetables grew more rapidly, pro.
duced better, were of better quality
Especially was this true of the leaf
and root vegetables. but 1t was clearly
apparent in all.
Manure heavily and plow deep
Then spread fine manure over the
blowing and disk it in, leaving the
land rough until ready to plant; the.l
make perfect seed bed by repeated
use of the spiketooth harrow and
planker.
In January, Irish Cobler, Quick
Lunch or Triumph potatoes should be
planted for first crop, and Alaska peas
should be pat in. There is apt to be
too much wet weather in January for
blowing the garden. Do it earlier.

FARMERS INCOME TAX

The United States Revenue Collec.
tors have sent out blanks that the
farmers are expected to fill, and then
appear before one OF the deputy col
lectors for personal consultation. The
important thing to be done by those
who suspect that they may be subject
to this tax Is to gather all the informa-
ton which they may be called upon
to furnish For example. they should
make careful records of everything
sold from the farm, together with the
total sum received. Then they should
make similar reports Of everything
bought which entered into the conduct
Of the fam. as, for example, feed and
livestock OF all kinds. The ordinary
family expenditures are not to be de-
Quoted from the gross income.
The man who has complete record
Of all his business transactions will
be much better able to answer the
questions which will be asked of him
by the deputy collector; and, mas
much as the income tax law imposes
a very severe penalty upon any indi.
vidual who should make a return and
fails to do SO, and upon any individual
who makes any false or fraudulent re-
turns, farmers should prepare to pro.
tect themselves by being able to fur
nish promptly and satisfactorily any
information which may be demanded

Second CROP OF
IRISH POTATOES
How to Handle Potatoes in Order
to Get High Yields
per Acre
CULTIVATE TIL: SGu WELL
A Soil That Has the Power to Hold
Much Moisture Is Better for Pota-
toes Than Others-Potato Bug, an
Enemy, Can Be Defeated.

Second-crop potatoes do not make
their best growth until the cooler
weather of fall, several weeks before
frost. In the vicinity of Knoxville, Au-
gust first is about the right time for
planting second-crop potatoes. For the
southwestern half of Tennessee and
FOR the vicinity of Chattanooga, the
date may be twelve days later. On
the Cumberland Plateau and for high
East Tennessee counties, Johnson and
Carter, only the spring planted crop is
grown.
Amount of Seed Needed.
Plant in rows 80 to SO inches apart
and IL to IA inches apart in the row.
Planting at these distances will re-
quire from 10 to II bushels of seed for
an acre. In good potato soils, those of
medium texture, plant about four to
five inches deep. In heavier soils,
plant three to four inches. To prevent
the furrow from drying out, as well as
the Seed at the time of planting open
only one furrow at time and plant it
and close 1t before planting the second
furrow. This should be done espe.
cially when early crop potatoes are
used for seed. Drop the seed so that
1t lies with the cut Surface pressed
slightly into the soil. Cover with a
shovel pillow run on each side of the
furrow.
In dry weather, seed will lie in the
ground several weeks before coming
thru the surface. Seed from first crop
potatoes will frequently lie in the
ground from five to six weeks before
the plants break thru the surface.
When the rows are visible, cultivate
at once, throwing the soil up well over
the rows. To kill weeds and break up
the surface crust, the rows should be
cross-cultivated with light scratch
harrow, or weeder This should be
done several times, as often as the ap-
pearance of the soil shows the neces.
sity of it. Don't give the weeds a
chance to grow, or the soil to dry out
below the surface mulch. When the
rows become visible again, cultivation
should follow the rows again. The
five-tooth pillow cultivator and 14-tooth
harrow may be used for this. At least
three cultivators with the rows should
be given the crop. Use the five-tooth
pillow or other cuftivator with the wide
teeth attached and work as close to
the plants as possible without injur-
ing the roots, throwing the soil well
up about the plants. If cultivation is
done on small areas with hand hoe,
pull the soil up about the plant with
the hoe at this time. A two-horse rid.
ing cultivator will save labor and do
more efficient work than any other
kind of cultivator. Three or four

Cut and shock the corn in rows as
soon as it is sufficiently mature.
Disk thoFoly both corn land and COW.

In the absence of distributor, place
the lime in small piles in straight rows.
In corn land. place the piles in about
every twelfth corn row with the piles
about twelve .steps apart in the row.
Throw about wheelharrow load in
each pile, using as nearly as possible
