ca HaY on Poor Lands

Use cowpeas or soy beans for hay,
for they yield more and better hay
than grasses. Of course red top is
the best poor land grass, especially
where it is seeded in the spring. Tall
meadow grass does well when sown
in late summer. Provided the land
has been lined, it will grow red clo-
yer sown with the tall oat grass.
Sow two or three bushels Of tall oat
grass to the acre, along with ten
pounds Of red clover.
For grazing purposes in poor land.
sow rye this fall. If the rye is sown
early, say before October 1, one could
sow red top with it, using about IL
pounds to, the acre. If the rye is
sown SO late in the fall that the grass
would likely freeze out, sow red top
in the spring at the same rate per
acre. In either case, sow five to ten
pounds Of Japan clover to the acre
about the first of April. This is
good practice in most parts Of Ten
InesSee.

WOULD SEND PLANES OVER
WITH CHAIN OF FLOATS

Two hundred thousand airplanes
are to built in the United States in
1919 and flown to Europe under their
own power, aided by chain of floats
every twenty-five miles across the
Atlantic. is the vision Of Alfred W..
Lawson, general manager Of the Law
son Aircraft Corporation, Of Green
Bay Wis, says dispatch from New
York.
Lawson has laid his scheme before
the authorities in Washing ton in de-
tail as the best and quickest method
Of winning the war. Lawson said the
war department officials examined
him for three days on every angle Of
his plan, and that they are giving
it favorable consideration.
"We can build all the airships that
we need, we can transport all that
we can build, we can fly an that we
can transport, and we can land ali
that we can fly he said.
Eve need 100000, but we have not
the bottoms in which to ship so many
across the Atlantic. We must there
fore send them over under their own
power. The only safe way to do this
IS to establish q line Of floats from
the United States to the coast Of
France"
BY floats Lawson mearS the hulls
Of discarded vessels from 200 to 500
feet in length, from which masts.
stacks, cabins, etc, have been cut
away, and smooth deck for landing
purposes substituted. AS it would
be impossible to anchor these in mid
ocean, they would be navigated UNI
der their own power at certain long
itude and latitude designed by the
war department.
Each float would be equipped with
fuel for the airplanes, food supplies
and repair shop. Lawson said
there would be little fear Of subma-
rines, as every float would be equip
ped Mth long-range guns and nets.
Lawson also proposes to send the
United States mail over by this route.
The air time for mail to France, he
said, would be one day against three
weeks by ships as at present, 1t
also would be used by officials in
making hasty trips to Europe and
back.
All American airplanes used at the
front this coming winter viii be heated
by means patented by Lawson. He
was not at liberty to describe in de-
tail the apparatus that will be used
for this purpose.
American aviators win be equipped
with powerful glass of Lawson's in
vention. With this they will be able
to observe enemy movements from
a height of five miles. They will
drop bombs wherever they please
from this height, practically immune
from enemy attack.

Better Tenant Houses? Yes.

The farm labor situation will be-
come more acute from year to year.
Better tenant houses and better living
conditions would help secure a better
class of men.
Due to the high cost Of living, some
men with families prefer to live on
a farm rather than in town, or to
work at public works. Providing a
good house would help in securing
some Of the best Of these men.
You may prefer to rent to men who
have families to help them. Such
families win not often be satisfied
lin bad living conditions.
Many farmers have spent very little
on tenant houses in the past 20 years.
Materials are high in price, but would

Our Patriotic Opportunity

We must be a self-supporting state
as long as the war lasts.
The government has taken over the
management Of the railroads that
the people may more fully realize
that part that transportation plays in
the winning of the war.
The movement of troops and sup
plies has the right of way-nothing
must interfere.
The farmers should use wood for
fuel, and get it from nearby sources.
We must grow our own seeds wher-
ever possible; soy beans, cowpeas,
sorghum, corn, wheat, barley, rye,
red clover, crimson clover, timothy,
red top, tall meadow oat, orchard
grass. All the seeds we plant in
field and garden should be grown in
our own neighborhood this year that
we may relieve railroad congestion,
and have our seed on hand at plant
ing time.
We must produce our own feed
stuffs. The hundreds of cars that
were used for shipping hay and feed
into Tennessee before the war cannot
be had this year-the army needs
them. We must grow our own hays,
and reduce the need of concentrates
by feeding well-cured legumes.

SOME CHANGES N
FUEL PROBE DATES


Owing to the fact that Fuel Adj
ministrator Myer had been called
from Nashville to Washington a few
days ago to confer with other officials,
the schedule Of hearings of the fuel
situation and needs Of manufacturers
during the coming winter by the war
resources committee has been chang
ed. The revised schedule calls for
meetings as follows;
Memphis, Tuesday, August 27;Jaek-
son, Wednesday, August %; Nash
vile. Thursday, August 20; Chatta-
nooga, Friday, August 30.
A number Of prominent government
officials and Representatives Of the
war resources committee viii attend
an Of these meetings, among them
being w. E. Myer, state fuel admin
istrator; Prof. G. H. Brown, fuel en-
gineer; T. H. Aldrich, Birmingham,
Ala, regional director on war in
dustries board; j. f. Edgerton, Leb-
anon; Lee F. Miller, Johnson City, and
Charles G. Gilbert, representing the
war resources committee of Tennes-
see.
AT these meetings it win be ex-
planned to the manufacturers what
they must do in order to receive coal
in the event a shortage materializes.
1t is not enough for a manufacturer
to say that he has laid in his supply
of coal and is not interested in the
matter for the reason that Fuel Adj
ministrator Myer has decreed that
where two manufacturers in the same
town have both endeavored to lay in
a supply Of coal and one Of them sue
ceeds and the other one does not.
and there should come a shortage, he
will issue an order compelling the
man having a supply Of coal to di- !
vide with the other manufacturer. It
IS necessary that all manufacturers
cooperate with the war resources
committee in Tennessee in order that
their plants might be placed on gov
eminent contract and thereby be en-
abled to operate during the period
If the war.

for what purpose they care to travel

There has been less work done on

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft.
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blackheads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently. minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo Is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, S1.0O. It will not stain, Is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
