PLANT DELINTED COTTON SEED

When the soil and air are warm and
the soil is in good condition, the plants
from delinted seed will come up sew
eral days earlier than the plants from
ordinary seed. When the soil is damp
and cold, dry and cold, or poorly pre-
pared, good stand viii frequently be
secured from delinted seed where land
planted with common seed will have
to be replanted. Replantino is seldom
profitable. 1t means failure where
there is boil weevil. One weeks diff
ference in earliness often means
difference Of quarter of bale an
acre.
Delinted seed drops evenly like corn
or grain. There are no skips. 0rdi-
nary seed mats up in the planter and
the skips are frequent. This evenness
of planting from delinted seed in
creases the yield 10 to rs per cent.
When hard crust forms on the soil
after planting, the plants from delint-
ed seed are so thick and evenly placed
that they will usually lift the crust
and grow The plants from seed hav-
ing short lint generally start unevenly
and are spaced unevenly so that they
die before they can get through hard
crust.
Many oil mills will delint seed for
planting for the lint. Several gins in
Eastern Arkansas have put in de-
limiting machines.

legislators who hire help, keep down
salaries, overwork employees in the
postoffice department, will vote twen-
ty to fifty million dollars for battle
ships that never do any good. Battle
ships serve US as stage setting for
gilded uniforms and a place for pink
teas.
When your statesmen think peace,
talk peace, encourage peace, there will
be peace; but when we send our peace
ambassadors abroad in S12,000,000
battleships, the other fellow builds
S13,000,000 battleships Just let the
United States lock arms with Eng
land, Russia, Germany, and some 9th
er countries across the sea, and unite
in a chorus, "All for one, and one for
alp; and let the battle cry be "Arbi-
tration" The time is ripe, the condi-
lions favorable, for gigantic world
wide stock company for peace pur-
poses. The United States can organ
lie that company, every nation can
have a share and a representative, all
disputes to come before the general
stockholders meeting and all differ
ences settled by a vote, which shall
be final When we have this world
wide agreement and final court, there
can be no war. If two nations flare
up and want to fight, the world will
sit on the case and settle it. The dis
gruntled nation has to accept the find
ing of the court. 1t can not fight the
other stockholders.
Battleships are merely outlets for
pent up barbaric animal fighting pas
sions. So long as we prepare for war
in times of peace, we will have war.
In this time of war, let us prepare for
peace. The pictures we have before
us-the rivers of blood, the trenches
of dead, the starved women and child
ren-are so appalling, SO vivid, that
the world is ready to subscribe stock
to a binding, peace-compelling, law
abiding, legal, arbitrating stock com
pany, and every president, king sui
tan, kaiser, chef and ruler will be a
charter member,
In times of peace, the world pre-
pared for war and the world got war.
/, for one, am going to plead, preach,
practice and promote peace, so far as
] can. If you go in, and your friends
go in, therewill be no more $12,000,000
battleships, no more battles, no more
wars, waste desolation, death, shred
ded hearts, no more soldiers homes or
pensions; the military schools of the
future will be used for agricultural
schools; swords will be turned into
plows; we will win wealth by plows
and not powder War, waste, wretch
edness, are the answers to the new
slogan, I'm this time of war, let's pre-
pare for peace, and let US make that
peace stick"

TIMELY FOR TREE PLANTERS

A friend of ours who has had much
experience in transplanting trees call
ed our attention a few days ago to the
necessity Of wrapping newly trans
planted shade or fruit trees with bag
ging of some other kind of wrapping.
It is necessary, he said, thus to pro-
tect the shade trees from the fact that
they are generally taken from a thick
ct, where they have more or less pro-
lection. Being in tender state when
they are transplanted, the sun of the
summer following their removal
shines down on them with all its fury
and often blights and kills them,

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO Dor

Farm loan associations are being
organized in various communities
over Tennessee. 1t is well for farm
ers to think of their bushes interests
In some places, however, it is the
belief that associations have been
formed without purpose behind them
Let every man ask himself, what
am l going to do with the money
after | get it?"
The man who enters loan asso-
citation is simply hiring another labor
er-money. Can that laborer be en-
ployed proftably? Have you def
mite use for him?
What are you going to do?

FARMERS PROFIT FROM FRUIT

Brownsville, Tenn, March 29.--An
orchard on the farm of prominent
farmer of this county had not been
made to pay tie cost of upkeep until
last year, according to Benton M. Ell
rod, county agent of Haywood county.
In 1916 the farmer was persuaded to
do some pruning and spraying. This
was the first attempt at work of the
kind in the orchard. There are eight
acres, all to apples. Last year the
owner sold 81 500 worth of fruit, even
after a considerable damage by blight.
His clear profit from the eight acres
last year was $1,100. AS a result of
this experience he is going in heavily
this year with pruning and spraying,

This is an axiom with those in

That is the theory upon which the
Community Sing idea, which is away

The plan, as 1t has been worked
out by the Teachers Federation and

JURY IN MOE
CASE UNABLE
TO AGREE
Contract and Lease Held
Illegal in Detroit
Saloon Case

The jury in the Moe case has been
out for over twenty-four hours and is
still unable to decide upon a verdict
1t is probable that Judge Nye will ex-
cuse them from further consideration
Of the case during the afternoon.
A divided verdict was returned by
the jury in the case Of the Perham
Holding Co. VS.. Ole HI. Col and Carl
Sivertson. The attorneys for each side
moved for a directed verdict after the
testimony had all been introduced.
Judge Nye held the contract to be
illegal as the saloon was located in
territory covered by the Chippewa
Indian treaty in which the sale of
intoxicating liquor is prohibited AS
the defendants retained possession of
the building for two months after the
officers Of the u. S. government, in
the enforcement of the Indian treaty,
raided the saloon, and conf1Scated and
destroyed the defendants stock of
liquor, the court held them liable for
the rent during that time.
A verdict for defendants was direct
ed in the other cause Of action where
in payment of several promissory
notes for $125 each were given to secure
one of the monthly instailments of the
$1,500-advanced by the plaintiff COM
pany in payment of the local liquor
license.
The ruling of Judge Nye in the case
will dispose of several other actions
now pending.
Pfeffer & Pfeffer represented the
plaintiff and Chas. S. Marden the de-

day will be Finch Bros. VS.. the Chi
