Old Idea Of Gulf Stream,
Once Taught in Schools,
Changed by Later Study

1t is only by speaking loosely that
the shippers of several incoming ships
can say as reported, that the presence
of many sharks along the coast was
due to a shifting of the Gulf stream.
What they mean was that the northeast
drift of warm water is greater than
usual, broader, perhaps, or closer in
shore, or possibly degree or two high
er in temperature than is customary at
this time in this latitude says the New
York Sun.
The Gulf stream as a distinct cur
rent cannot be identified north of the
thirty-second parallel of latitude, which
It crosses between the Bermudas and
the Carolina coast. There it divides
into small streams. The westerly winds
blow upon it and break up it's surface.
It's warm waters become mixed with
the colder ocean and it becomes an ele-
ment of the northeast. At the same
time the warm currents are recOgnlza-
bic as far north as 40 degrees latitude,
q trifie south of New York beyond 40
degrees north and 60 degrees west
longitude no test of temperature, salt
ness, color or motion serves to distin-
guish them from the rest of the ocean
drift
Who does not remember having 1t
impressed on him in his schoOldays
that the ministrations of the gulf
stream alone made habitable the Brit
ish Isles? 1t is not true, as patient
study has shown. The southwest
winds bring moisture from the ocean
to Europe, and this great blanket of
moist air contains much more latent
heat than dry air at the same temper
allure. From the moist air come
clouds, fogs and rain, which condense
heat and water upon the Old World
and prevent the loss of ground heat
by radiation. That Is why there Is
such striking difference in temper
atures upon single line of latitude
cutting the two continents.
While the warm water flows north
east from the Mexican gulf the cold
water on the north is finding its way
sOuthwesterly, deeper down. When
the cold current strikes the tropical
zone it becomes heated and rises to
flow northeast again. The Gulf of
Mexico is like the coil of pipe in a
gas water heater; it supplies intense
heat in n small area and adequately
tempers half the seas.

SEPTEMBER VEGETABLES

by c. A. Refer, Division of Exten
sion, University OF Tennessee.)
Mature bulbs of any variety of onion
planted in September will provide
salad onions during the winter. Among
the best kinds for this purpose are:
Multiplyer, Potato and Yellow Danvers.
Long-standing spinach and German
kale can be sown up to the middle of
September,
Small quantities OF radish and let
luce should be sown with the other
vegetables, because they are only in an
edible condition for short time BY
protection from frost, endive can be
used from the garden until late De-
cember.
Kale and spinach will furnish green's
from the garden throughout the win.
ter, except in the coolest parts of the
state.
Beets and carrots should be dug just
before severe freezing weather and
stored by covering with straw AMI a
good layer of soil.

BUY MORE LIVE STOCK
RATHER THAN MORE LAND

(By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension
University of Tennessee, Knox
ville.)
That live stock pays on the farms OF
a nearby state may be seen by the fol
lowing figures secured from eighty-one
farms in one community. The farms
were not selected farms, but we're
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount OF live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
were found to have over 20 head each
OF cattle, or their equivalent Tin
amount of feed consumed) in hogs,
sheep or other productive live stock !;
one-third had between IL and 20 head
each; one-third had less than IL head
The heavier stocked farms returned
a profit for the year of $774 more than
those with the small amount of live
stock.
Another community selected at ran.
dom showed nearly the same proper.
ton. Live stock furnishes a way to
Increase the volume of farm business
without increasing the farm area
Through live stock much of the poorer
grades of feed may be utilized to bet
ter advantage than by selling 1t, In
fact much roughage that is ordinarily
wasted can be made to give good re
turns. The manure obtained is essen
iol In int mi coil fartiIify
The above figures offer some food
for thought, If you are thinking OF
purchasing additional land, consider
first whether the purchase money
should not go into more live stock foi
the land you already own.

Only In This Way Can Greatest
Profits Be Expected From
Your Herd
keep COWS THAT MAKE MONEY
It May Be That You Can Take the
Cows You Have and BY Using a
Pure-bred Beef Bull Greatly Increase
Your lncome-Think it over.
(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten
ton, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.)

What are you keeping COWS for?
The dairyman keeps COWS to eat up
the rough feeds of his farm, to make
manure to build up the fertility of his
land, to produce milk and butter to
sell. The beef nan keeps COWS to eat
up the rough feeds of his farm, to
make manure to build up the fertility
of his land and to produce calves to
sell.
The important difference between
the dairyman and the beef man is in
the fact that the dairyman's farm is
so situated that he has a market for
dairy products, the beef man does not
have this market so must be content
to sell a less perishable product
calves. Both of them are in good
business because they are looking out
for the fertility of their farms first.
OF course, incidentally each of these
men has a supply of milk and butter
for his family. This is aside from the
main purpose of keeping cows. how
ever.
There are thousands of farmers in
Tennessee who do not keep cows to
eat up the rough feeds on their farms.
who pay no attention to the produc
ton and value of manure, who do not
sell milk and butter, but keep cows
for the sole purpose of having a sup
ply of milk and butter for their fami-
lies. In the fall they sell bunch Of
scrawny calves that are disgrace to
