GREAT
LIVESTOCK SHOW

The management of the Weakley
county fair is planning the greatest
livestock show for the Weakley coun-
ty fair, to be held here on Oct. 9, 10,
II, IL and 10, ever witnessed in this
section.
Special emphasis will be given this
important feature of the fair this
year. Livestock breeders of this and
adjoining counties are becoming
more and more interested in live
stock, and the Weakley county fair
association is proposing to encour-
age the livestock industry. The live
stock exhibit at the fair here in Oc-
tober will doubtless be the leading
feature, as it should, under present
conditions.
While this feature will be given
special attention, other branches of
the fair promise to excel previous
years. For instance, the Canning
Club girls and Corn Club boys will
have exhibits worth a great deal to
see.

nesday, Thursday and Friday, Sept.
I12, 10 and IA. The program is be-
ing revised by telegraph so that the
excellent discussions, which had been
planned, may still be anticipated.
Enough answers have been received
at this date to indicate that only few
changes in the program will be nee
essary. Plans for the institute are
being made by the state department
of agriculture, of which H. K. Bry-
son is commissioner, and the Divis-
ion of Extension, University of Ten
nessee, of which Chas. A. Refer is

Good Tobacco Prospects.

The first tobacco cutting in this
community that we have knowledge
of was that done on last Monday
morning by Esq. Harry Butts, two
miles west of Dresden. This is
accredited to be one of the finest
crops in the entire county-large,
we'll matured and appears to have
the proper weight.
Growers tell us the recent cool
nights, accompanied by the heavy
dews, have been very beneficial to
growing tobacco, which is rapidly
taking on the weight. The outlook
is good for big crop Of fine to-
bacco, and, no doubt, growers will
use extraordinary care in the cur
ing.
Indications are that the best pric-
es in recent years will be paid for
the present crop,

Gus In the New England states about
twenty-five years ago. 1t has now
spread to a greater or less extent
throughout the middle west and Is oc-
casionally found in the south and on
the Pacific coast. Blackhead OCCASION
ally affects grown turkeys, but 1t most
Iy occurs among young turkeys be-
tween the ages Of six weeks and four
months. When Il flock becomes IN
fected and nothing is done to prevent
its spread so per cent or more OF the
turkeys in the flock usually die.
The symptoms of blackhead are such
that unless the bird is killed and an
examination Of the internal organs
made it is difficult to tell whether the
disease is blackhead or some other all
ment. The bird drinks a great DEAL
but refuses to eat and grows steadily
weaker until Its death. which usually
occurs few days or week after the
weakness Is first noted. Diarrhea
commonly occurs. and the droppings
vary in color from white to brown, but
are usually bright yellow. The head
of the turkey sometimes turns dark,
and it is from this symptom that the
name blackhead originated. This is an
unfortunate term, as the head often
does not turn dark, and even though
1t does it merely indicates that the
bird Is sick from some ailment that
may or may not be blackhead. On
opening a turkey that has died OF
blackhead one or both Of the coca, or
blind CUTS" are found to be enlarged
and plugged with cheesy material,
and the liver is more or less covered
with spots. varying in color from gray
ish white to yellow.
No positive cure for blackhead has
been found. Az la tue case OF all 9TH
err infectious diseases, the sick bird
should Immediately be removed from
the flock to prevent further spread
of the disease, and If very sick 1t is
best to kill It and burn the body. Clean
out the roOstlng place and spread nne
in places most frequented by the tur.
keys Keep disinfectant in the
drinking water. Potassium permanga-
nate IL a good antiseptic, a sufficient
quantity OF the crystals bcing added to
give the water wine color, which for
every gallon of water will take about
as much of tho chemical as can be
placed on a dime. II the turkeys are
being fed heavily their ration should
be reduced. as overlooking predispOses
to the disease. The feeding Of sour
milk has been found of advantage in
keeping turkeys In good health and In
reducing the activities Of the organism
causing blackhead.

ufacturers, lumbermen and timber land
owners, headed by W. II. Brown, who
Is a member of the lumber committee
Of the Council OF National Defense and
a director Of the American Forestry
association
This committee was appointed by the
Massachusetts Committee Of Public
Safety, which a short time ago re-
ceived information that England was
experiencing difficulty in securing suf-
fcient timber for its army operations.
Because of lack of shipping facilities
for lumber 1t was proposed that New
England raise mill units to be sent over
sea. The offer was cabled and was
promptly accepted by the British war
office.
Coupled with the acceptance was all
offer of transport for the units. Armed
with this acceptance and with the un.
official approval OF Secretary OF War
Baker, the Massachusetts committee
received the cooperation Of the COVER
nOrs of all the New England states and
placed the details Of raising the units
In the hands Of the committee Of which

Unless a pOstmortem examination Is

are misleading. A bird SO afflicted is
Enthusiastically sick, but it is difficult to
distinguish this trouble from other
forms of disease. When examined
after death the liver is found to be
