TWO TYPES OF SILOS
FOR TENNESSEEANS
Experience Is Showing That Either
the Tennessee Wood-hoop Or the
Concrete Slo Is Good

r,o .,,o .,,nJloe .;,os ,oat odontod
to Tennessee are the cheap, temper
airy silo built of wood, and the per-
manent type, or solid wall, concrete
silo For farmer who wishes a cheap
silo there is nothing better than the
Tennessee WOod-hoop type. This is
built of 1"x4" pine flooring, which
should be of good quality heart pine,
free from knots and sap, matched,
planned, and tOngued and grooved.
The hoops are made Of 11"x4" green
white oak, or green elm boards. They
should be bent around a form and
made four-ply thick. The TX A.
slaves are set upright inside of these
hoops.
This makes the cheapest and best
type of wood silO, and one OF the
easiest to build. The average cost of
such a silo is $1O0 per ton capacity
where all the material Is purchased
and all the labor hired.
For a permanent silo there Is moth.
ing better nor cheaper for Tennessee
farmers than concrete. 1t can be
built for an average cost Of $3.50 to
$500 per ton capacity, and if properly
constructed will last indefinitely. 1t
should be built Of good material with
n solid wall, six inches thick, proper
" reinforced, and made smooth and
slick on the inside-C. A. Hutton,

POPULAR NAMES FOR FARM
HOMES.

Considerable interest has been man
ifested in the selection of popular
names for we'll known farms. This
has been especially true in counties
where the local papers have published
lists of farm names as announced by
the owners.
Some well-selected farm names.
many of them widely known through
out Tennessee for years past, are:
Lespedeza Farm, Silleba Farm, Fair
Acres Farm, Ames Plantation, James
Farm, Meadow Brook Farm, Bonno-
hut Farm, Protumna Farm, Sunny
Brook Farm, Poplar Hill Farm, North
cliff Farm, Greystone Farm, Knob
ley Farm, Hill Top Farm, Woodbtne
Farm, Waddington Farm.

BANKERS ASSIST FARMERS
IN ESTABLISHING THEIR
FARM LOAN ASSOCIATIONS

There can be little question as TO
the benefits of long time loans to
farmers at more reasonable rates than
they have been paying in some local
tiles in the past. The bankers them
selves, some of whom at first were
prone to criticise the propTiety OF the
Farm Loan Act, are now taking very
favorable attitude In many local.
ties a local banker is acting as secre-
tary-treasurer of the local loan asso-
citation. This, it seems to me, is quite
desirable.
The local banker usually has not
only the confidence of the local people,
but he has had the right kind OF bust
ness experience to handle the affairs
Of the association in the best manner.
And fully as important as these
reasons. | believe, is the fact that by
being in such close touch with the
members of the local farm loan asso-
citation he will be in the very best pos
sible position to advise with prospec-
tive borrowers as to the most prob
table use of their funds.
County agents will undoubtedly be
of much service in shaping farm loans,
and in advising the farmer as to ways
in which he may use his new capital
to the best advantages, to secure the
largest possible returns.--C. f. Alfred,

This will be undertaken by cutting
down the margin between producer

executives under the central admins
tration, each to study means OF short
ening the speculative chain that hand

staples to be studied probably will be
grain, flour, meat and sugar.

FOR GRADUATES Day SEARCH FOR OUTLAWS
Armed Guard Now Scours Noun
tains in Virginia for Gang.

Roanoke, Va, May 3O.-With rep
| resentatives from the department OF
Justice and officials of the Second
Virginia regiment securing the
mountain section about st. Paul,
Va, for further evidence to connect
w. V. Mccoy and J. w. Phipps,
who are in Jail here charged with
conspiring against the United States
government, that may develop into
the worst case of attempted treason
in the history Of the country since
the present crisis. The plot to
destroy bridges, tunnels, residences,
Kill military men and confscate their
rifles and ammunition and to slaugh-
ter all the wealthy land owners
grows in seriousness daily.
1t has now practically been def
nitely established that McCoy's men
were were responsible for the theft
of over 1000 pounds of dynamite
from the Dupont Powder Company
at Norton last Thursday night, after
plans are thought to have been made
that afternoon whereby the whole
sale blowing up of bridges would
be accomplished and that tad
blowing up of the new river bridge
was to be the signal for the gen.
eral outbreak.
Conspiracy against the government
seems now to have been reached in
to the mountain. region of West
Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, accord
ing to statements said to have been
made by Mccoy to men he induced
to join him, that he had over 5000
men in the mountains of these states
who would be ready at the signal.
Men who were supposed to have
been with Mccoy in his plans, but
who had been forced to join him on
account of fear of physical violence,
are said to be responsible for the in
formation being given to the officers
of the Second Virginia, who then
reported the matter to the depart
ment of justice.
Captain Waller, of Company D, !
Front Royal, who was stationed at
Cedar Bluff, first came into posses
sion of oaths and declarations of |
war and turned them over to Colonel
Leedy, who transmitted the informa-
tion to the department of justice
with the request that it send men to
cope with the situation, otherwise
he would be forced to use his men to
run down the conspirators for the
protection of the troops them
selves.

GRIPPING RIVER SERVICE.
Trade on Potomac Seriously Handl-
capped by Withdrawal of steam-
boats.

Under the terms of the charter
of the steamer St. Johns to the
limited States naval authorities, she
was to have been ready for service
Yesterday. Repairs to her could not
be completed in time, and the steam
er Majestic yesterday left for Nor
folk to take the place OF the 81.
Johns in the government service un-
I'll the St. Johns is ready for duty.
There is a report in circulation IN
marine circles that the Majestic may
remain in government service, and as
was stated in yesterdays Gazette,
the matter has been taken up by
the Virginia corporation commission
on the ground that the withdrawal
of the Majectic from river service
would do injury to the Virginia ter
ritory she serves. 1t is claimed
that the service of the Majestic Is
the only means of communication
that a large portion of Westmore-
land and King George counties, Va
have with the outside world, and that
her being out of service would work
a great hardship. The steamer
Wakefield has taken the place of the
Majestic on the river, but usually
at this season of the year, 1t is as
serted, both the Wakefield and Ma
iestic are running on river routes,
making six round trips each week.
Recently, when steamer line out
of Richmond, on the James river
to Norfolk, chartered the steamer
Pocahontas to the government, the
James river landings were left
without steamboat service. The Vir-
einia state authorities brought the
matter to the attention of the gov
ernment authorities and the charter
of the steamer was Cancelled.
