BEES NEED PROTECTION
ON TENNESSEE FARMS
Government Has Found That Hives
Well Insulated Give Best Results
in Every Case.
(By G. e. Bartholomew. Division Of
Extension, University of Tennes-
saa Knoxville

(By G. e. Bartholomew, Division Of
Extension, University of Tennes-
see, Knoxville.)
Tennessee in 1909 was third in the
number of colonies of bees among all
of the states in the union. She does
not hold that record now Her col
onies have been destroyed, partly by
that dreaded disease, foul brood, and
partly because the colonies have not
been protected from the Tennessee
winters.
On this subject of insulation, the
chief Of the bureau Of entomology of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture has said some things that are
worth the attention of every Tennes-
see farmer.
Beekeepers have repeatedly claimed
that excessive insulation Is even more
detrimental in winter than insufficient
the colony to warm up on bright days.
To test this theory, Q colony was pack
ed, in the fall of 1915, with 16 inches
of sawdust on all sides, top, and bot
tom. Temperature records were made
ct frequent intervals every day
throughout the winter and spring. The
colony remained In excellent condition
in every respect throughout the win.
ter, being little affected by high winds,
and after brood rearing began 1t built
up with great rapidly. Then, 60 CEN
tinue observation on the effect Of In
sulation on the building UP of the col.
ony, the packing was allowed to re-
main all summer. Except for the Inn
possibility of manipulating the colony.
It remained In excellent condition. It
seems clear, therefore, that bsekeepera
need not fear any detrimental results
from abundant insulation.

MIX YOUR OWN
STOCK FEEDS
No Farmer Need To Pay ths
High Prices Asked For
"St0ck Tonnes"
LET HIM MAKE THEM At HOME
A Few WeII-known Drugs and Feeds,
When Put Together In Proper
Amounts, Make Feed Equal to Any
of the So-cailed "stock Foods"

(By DR.. C. d. Lowe, Live Stock Spe-
cialist of the Division of Exten-
sion, Knoxville.)
Thousands of dollars are wasted
each year in Tennessee by those who
buy and use so-called stock foods"
and "stock tonics."
Impartial tests of these materials
have been made by various state ex.
pertinent stations and the results OBJ
tanned which show their worthlessness
should be generally needed.
More than twenty different expert.
ments conducted with over one thou.
sand animals at twelve different sta
tons are sufficient to show conclusive
returns. In no instance did the So
called foods" return their cost and
in several cases their use seemed to
interfere with the proper returns from
the other feeds fed in connection with
them.
These substances do not qualify,
either, as real medicine, because they
contain too small a percentage of
drugs to be effective in the treatment
of disease. They are made up largely
of a "filler," which is usually some
simple feed like cottonseed hulls,
bran or alfalfa meal. In this is car
ried various roots, herbs and banks,
together with charcoal, sulphur, salt,
etc. Sometimes coloring matter is used
simply to disguise the appearance of
the real contents. Practically all OF
them contain common salt, and 1t is
| upon this constituent that they de-
pend for palatability.
| II you think you must use these
foods" for your stock, why not buy
the ingredients and mix them your
self? You can save from SO per cent
to 500 per cent by so doing.
A formula, which is so nearly the
average proprietary stock food that
neither. the owner nor his stock will
know the difference, is as follows:

COW TESTING PROVES
POPULAR WITH FAR MERS
This Is Explained BY the Fact That
Profits Increase-What Cow-Test-
Ing Associations Do.

(By G. A. Hutton, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)
Where there are enough cows to
justify the action on the part of farm
ers, cow-testing associations are de-
sirable. Several communities are al
ready organized and have testers en-
ployed.
Conditions for cow-testing associa-
ton are ideal when there are 400 cows
in about rs herds. Several Tennes-
see counties are coming up to this
standard. t
A cow-testing association will do
much for any dairy community.
1t furnishes an exact record of pro-
duction of each cow in the herd, with
record of the cost of feed consumed
and the net profit per COW. About one
third of the cows in Tennessee are
kept at loss. 1t enables one to weed
out the Improbable cows.
The records of production enable
one to feed more intelligently and
more economically. 1t is common
practice to feed all the cows In the
herd alike. Under these conditions
the poor cows will receive too much,
and the good ones will not get enough.
The proper way is to feed each COW In
proportion to the amount of milk she
gives. When this practice is adopted
1t usually results In greater production
of milk at less cost for feed.
The tester Ia able to advise with the
owner each month In regard to the
most economical feed to use, and also
to balance the rations for the owner.
The members can cooperate In buy
ing cottonseed meal and other feed
stuffs in carload lots, thus effecting o
saving.
Contrasting associations stimulate
community breeding, exchange OF
bulls, and q spirit of friendly rivalry,
and foster better social spirit in the
community.
1t enables one to tell which are the
best cows from which to raise heifsr
calves
The cost il triAs as compared to
the returns.

Citizens Of WeakIey County
Can Be Proud of the
Work They Did
DO IT THE GREENFIELD WAY
Any Town Can Take the Leadership
and Can Conduct a Genuine Educa-
tionaI campaign-Greenfield's TWO
day chautauqua Sets the Standard.
(By Charles A. Keffer, Director, Divi'
sion of Extension, University of
Tennessee.l

sion of Extension, University Of
Tennessee.)
Weakley county, Tennessee, is work
ing out the problem of town-and-coun-
try unity, and November meeting in
Greenfield, an enterprising little town
of that county, marks forward step
in community development. The
Greenfield preachers and the Green
field business men put their heads to-
gether, and with the assistance of the
Greenfield women, planned and car
ried out a two days Farmers Free
Chautauqua. The worst thing about
the affair was its name, for in the
public mind the Chautauqua move
ment is largely matter of entertain
ment, while the Greenfield meeting
was in the best sense educational
The preachers opened their church
es and one of them presided, making
an admirable leader. His church,
which seats five hundred people, was
crowded throughout the sessions. In
the mornings there was general pro-
gram for men and women. The after
noon was devoted to separate meet
ings for men and women, two church
es being used.
Throughout, there was inspiring mu-
sic, furnished by quartettes from coun-
try churches. The subjects discussed
were of the most practical nature:
Cooperation, good roads, live stock,
seed selection, diversified farming, the
relation of the town to the surround
ing community, extension work in az
riculture, the rural church, education,
crop rotation, soil building, canning
and corn clubs, civic improvement and
rest rooms, home, school and church,
parent-teachers associations, eugen-
ics-a wide range, handled by men
and women who knew what they were
talking about. Two excellent ser
mons were delivered by visiting cler-
gymen, and the other speakers were
about equally divided between men
and women of the county and visitors.
An interesting feature of the Chau-
tauqua was the dinner; 1t was pro.
vided by the business men and served
by the ladies of the town. A big dou.
BILE store room was utilized and five
long tables with places for $50 guests
were filed more than twice each day.
The dinner was good example OF
what organization can accomplish
the great crowd was served quickly,
quietly and we'll.
Who was there? Everybody; the
town was full of vehicles-autos, wag.
ons, buggies-hundreds of country
people had accepted the invitation OF
the churches and business men OF
Greenfield
And the best part of the occasion
was the get-together spirit every
where manifest The merchants were
not trying to trap purchasers, the
preachers were not PROSECUTING, the
farmers were aloof, the women were
not "uppity"; all came to learn, to en-
joy, and to know one another better
1t was great success.
Let every town in Tennessee try II
the Greenfield way.

TO ELLEN SATTERFIFLD

James P Satterfield vs.. Ell n Satter
The Glenwood post., 1917-04-21

in spite of the high prices obtained by
the growers last season. This is dus t.
several causes:
In the east, the question Of obtaining
fertilizer, especially potash, is difficult,
if not impossible. Even were it obtain
able, the price for this fertilizer is too
high to warrant its use for the pro-
duction Of crops.
The seed situation is another serious
problem which is especially felt in
Colorado and other western potato pro
ducing sections. The high price Of the
potatoes have induced the growers to
part with their available supply to the
extent of curtailing the normal amount
reserved for seed. This is particularly
true with reference to the better grade
of seed, which at present is not obtsin-
able at any price.
| The war situation confronting The
/ country makes it especially importsnt
that our growers and farmers plant
the production of this important food.
When We consider that, acre for acre.
potatoes will produce more human fool
than any other crop, we should put
forth every effort to grow the maxi
mum crop that is possible to grow.
In view of the seed situation, we
,n1 H.
nature and from every obtainablc
source, disregarding to this extent, the
former high standard of seed set by the
association. Much can be done in the
way of Improvement by treating the
seed against diseases like scab and
Rhizoctonia and thus eliminate possible
losses from these diseases
In a crisis like the one we are facing,
we should do everything possible to
produce th.s maximum crop of potatoes
Potato seed of the ordinary kind may
be obtained on the market, and we ad-
wise that everyone plant who has soil
that is capable of producing crop.
A committee appointed by the gov
ernor has assured us that the question
of financing growers, who are not in n
position to rurcrase high priced seed,
will be arranged for.
viii you .not, as a grower, do your
share in aiding the country in the
largest possible production of this im-
portant food?
