His Armless Joke,

That all misfortune is only relative
is indicated by the philosophy of the
armless man who, for many years, has
been carrying copy from down
town news agency to the uptown news
papers at night. An editor on his way
to his midnight luncheon had washed
his hands when he discovered that the
towel was missing. AS the armless
copy" carrier passed he heard the ed
itor say something more forceful than
elegant. You ought to be like me,
and then you wouldn't need any
towel" said the armless one, laughing
contentedly.-New York Times.

The interest in alfalfa is still
growing and the experience of
John Rust, of McLemoresville,
give the industry a new boost. He
had poor stand on two acres last
year, which he reworked with disc
harrow and scratchers, and re-
seeded after the fourth cutting, Sc
curing a good stand, despite the
unusually dry fall This year he
cut the first crop April 30 and
hauled off six loads of hay esti-
mated at 800 pounds each, total
! ing 5000 pounds for the two acres
or two and a quarter tons per acre,
At $50 per ton this represents a
financial return of $3.50 per acre
in April. The second crop aver
aged about ten inches high when
seen BY the county agent just two
weeks after cutting. Three or four
more good crops will be secured
from the field this summer. Will

Poultry Notes

Mr.. H. B. Moseley, poultry
specialist of the Division of Elk
tension, spent the week in the
county visiting the poultry clubs
and organizing pure-bred poultry
associations with Miss Vivian Haw-
kins, the home demonstration
agent.
The government has selected
this county as the West Tennessee
county to specialize in poultry
work, and every aid possible is 60
ing to be give the people to make
it a success.
One hundred hens on every
farm and one hundred eggs from
each hen is to be the slogan. Get
busy and take care of your young
chickens, as they represent your
future egg supply, Be sure they
are not infested with lice and mites,
if they are, use a small pinch OF
sodium huorid on their heads and
a small pinch under their Threats.
If you are through Matching for
the season, dispose of all rooster>
or pen them. Don't allow them tc
run with the laying hens, as you
want to produce infertile eggs fol
sale now. Gather eggs twice daily
now and keep them in a cool place
until sold.
These directions, if followed
will mean lots more and better
eggs and better prices for your
eggs.
Mr.. Moseley will be back here
in four weeks to finish organizing
the county. If interested come
and see him.
He wants to help build a mode
poultry house. Who wants one
