NEW GARDEN VEGETABLE

The women of Tennessee will be
interested in the new vegetable Dash
cen. This vegetable comes from the
tropics, but because a number of far
mers in the colder states have grown
it successfully it is thought that in
Tennessee gardens it will not do 50
well. One thing is sure, it does make
splendid dishes for the table.
Miss Virginia P. Moore, assistant
director of the division of extension
of the University of Tennessee, who
supervises the educational work for
women, has been in correspondence
with the United States department Of
agriculture concerning this vegetable
While the officers of the department
Just recently brought the Dasheen into

cooking for the division of extension
has tried out the Dasheen in various

DECREASE IN NEW
RAILROAD MILEAGE

The year 1916 was another lean
wear in the matter Of new railroad
construction in the south, although
the aggregate of the new lines built
for the year was SO miles more than
for the previous year. In 1912, how
ever. Just four years previous the new
railroad construction in the south was
over 1000 miles, and in 1913 the new
mileage was over 1,70G miles. Las
year in Tennessee, a little more than
40 miles of new railroad was built,
with a little over 30 miles in Kentucky
69.54 miles in Georgia and 81 miles
in Alabama
According to statistics compiled by
railroad, manufacturing and CONNER
cial publications, not quite 60 per cent
of the contemplated mileage of 1916
was built. 1t was thought at the be-
ginning of the year that 1916, would
make a much better showing thar
1915 in railroad construction, but there
were many factors against the embar-
kation of capital in such enterprises
for instance, the investigations of rail
roads, the threatened nationwide
strike of trainmen, the passage of thy
Adamson law, and other matters which
had a tendency to unsettle condition:
and alarm investors.
Increasing costs of operation anc
materials-labor and supplies-are de
priving the roads of profits. Not
withstanding the fact that the rail
roads have shown decided gains in
gross revenues for the past year, sta
tistics show that the return upon the
investment in railroad capital during
1916 was less than per cent
The outlook for 1917, however, espe-
cially in the matter of proposed new
railroad cnstructin, is better

PRODUCTS OF COTTON SEE

Many of us do not have much idea'
what comes from ton of cotfonseed
when manufactured. The oil mill man
gets several products from the seed.
The most important two being, Of
course, the meal and oil. From 40
TO "A gallons of oil are secured from d
ton of cotton seed. The oil content Of
the seed, however, varies quite . bit
from year to year. Some varieties of
seed carry more oil than others. The
weight of a gallon of oil is about z
1-2 pounds. All of the oil can't be
gotten out of the seed cake with the
pressing machinery; on an average
5 to 6 per cent of oil is left in the
cake. The time may come when much
of this will be extracted, as constant
improvement in machinery is being
made, says Orange Judd Southern
Farming.
From a ton Of seed there comes ion
an average 20 pounds of hnters. A
few years ago only 80 to rs pounds
were secured. This Inter cotton US
ually sells for little more than !,
third the price of ordinary staple cot
ton. This varies quite a bit, however
Some mills get as much as SOC
pounds of meal from ton of seed
others considerably less. Eight hun
dred and sixty-eight pounds is abouj
the average. One hundred and sixty
pounds is lost on an average from 9

LOW GRADE COTTON SEED MEAL

The results of recent Inspections of
feedstuffs all over Tennessee have
clearly demonstrated the fact that
the stats marts are being made the
dumping ground for low grade cotton
seed meal, By actual count the state
chemist finds that One-half of the
meals recently inspected show a de-
fciency in feeding value, which figured
IN money ranges anywhere from 80
cents to $6.40 per ton. 1t should be
borne in mind that the lots of cotton
seed meal inspected represent only a
very small proportion of the amount
on the markets, and if those inspect
ed are criterion, it might safely be
stated that at least one-half of the
meal being consumed in the state is
of lower grade than claimed by the
manufacturers, and if the deficiencies
were figured in dollars and cents, it
would amount to hundreds and thous-
ands of dollars in the course of a

AMORTIZATION FARM
LOAN PLAN
How Loans Under the Farm Loan Act
Are Designed to be Helpful to
the Borrower

It has always been recognized that
the most effective aid one can get is
that which enables him to help him
self.
Some critics of the federal farm
loan act have charged that this act
makes it too easy for farmers to get
into debt and that there will be ten
dency to overborrow.
A careful reading of the bill will
show that this objection is met by
very carefully limiting the use to
which the borrowed money may be
put and by the requirement that far
mers gradually each year must reduce
their Indebtedness.
The farm loan act was designed to
be helpful to the farmer of average
operations who has heretofore been de-
MED adequate credit. 1t wisely limits
the loan to so per cent of the apprais-
ed value of the security, because this
limitation makes the security of a
high character, thus satisfying the in
weston, and therefore results in a low
er rate of interest.
The use of the money is caefully
limited to the purchase of land, to pay
off existing Indebtedness, to purchase
live stock, or to make any productive
improvement such as fencing, drain.
age, buildings and machinery.
When money can be borrowed cheap,
ly for productive use, a mortgage be-
comes an investment rather than q
handicap. The farmer is enabled tx
get money to put his land to better
use, so that the profits of his invest
ment will pay off his Indebtedness
Hereafter judicious borrowing on the
part of the famer will be regarded a;
business enterprise, Just as it is nov
considered beneficial for large com,
I mercial institutions to borrow.

year. This money is coming out Of
the pockets of ten consumers, and
needless TO say that such a condition
of affairs should not be tolerated, nor
should the consumer be required to pay
for something that he does not get?
1t is the function Of the department
of agriculture to protect both the con-
sumner and the honest manufacturer,
and it is the earnest desire of every
official of the. department to afford
all possible protection to both, but
without cooperation the department
do very little toward the accomplish
ment of this end.
The inspection force is limited, as
well as the funds available for carry
ing on this most important work, and
unless the retail dealers and consumers
lend their assistance, the department
can render only small fraction of the
efficiency that can be attained by in
telligent cooperatio between the con-
sumner and the department of agricul
ture.

the farmer to borrow to the limit Of
safety, provides that he must put his
borrowed money to productive use7
