COOPERATIVE FARM HELP

When it ONES ii harvesting, the
pooling of community farm interests
is necessary and beneficial, because on
such work the greater efficiency gain
ed through larger crews and larger
machines is a most important factor.
For instance, in a neighborhood
there may be one farm having 16O
acres Of hay to harvest, surrounded b.
three farms having rs to 35 acres each
The present custom is for each man
to do his own work. The small farm
er has two horses and one moving ma
chine. He may do his haying with the
aid of one man, or his wife and chila
rem; but it takes him the larger part
Of the haying season to accomplish
this work. The same is true of the
other small farmers. The farmer with
the large haying has to hire extra
labor from outside sources and these,
with his larger equipment, do his ha7.
ing in about the same time as it takes
the small farmers, or in a period Of
from two to three weeks.
By pooling their interests the three

.PERSHING TELLS BOYS
TO WRITE HOMEFOLKS
Soldiers Are Encouraged to Keep Up
Correspondence With Mothers, Fa-
theirs and Relatives, So That Heart
aches May be Avoided.

Washington, June 8.-The war de-
partment today made public general
order issued recently by Gen. Pershing
encouraging members of the Amerl-
can expeditionary forces to keep up
correspondence with their relatives
and friends at home. Orp Of .the
greatest arguments for a constant
flow of letters between France ana
America, Gen. Pershing said, was tina.
it relieves much distress and anxiety
on the part of relatives and friends
Gen. Pershing's order said:
'First-Duty to ones country does
not end on the parade ground, nor even
on the battlefield, but it consists in 90.
ing everything in ones power to help
win the war. To write home frequent
ly and regularly, to keep in constant
touch with family and friends, is one
of the soldiers most important duties.
Mothers and fathers will suffer if they
do not hear often from sons fight
ing in France. In the present large
companies it is impossible for officers
to write letters for their men, and ev-
cry man must do it for himself.
"Second-When no letters are re-
ceived from overseas the greatest dis
tress is caused to those at home. They
either feel that letters have been writ
ten, but lost enroute, or else they I'M
agine all sorts Of evils, such as sick
ness, wounds, even death. Both a.e
bad for the active military spirit which
every true American man and woman
must possess if our army is to obtain
the real victory that all so eagerly de-
sire.
"Third.-Everyone in the United
States who has a son or brother IL
the American expeditionary forces i:
proud of him, is constantly thinking Of
him, is anxious to hear from him
Letters home will bring many letter;
in reply, and the closer home ties vii
have potent influences for good botf
in France and in the United States
All officers should realize this fac
and both by encouraging their mer
and providing them with proper ia
cilities do everything in their power
to interest them in this vital question
of writing home"

FEDERALIZING RAILROAD
MANAGEMENT

Director General McAdoo will place
in direct charge of each railroad for
operating purposes a representative
to be known as a federal manager.
These federal managers will be chosen
SO far as practicable, from the operat-
ing offices of their respective rail
roads.
The federal manager of each rail-
road will endeavor to avail himself
to the fullest extent Of his railroad
organization. This, it is believed, viii
secure the best results during govern
ment control, and reassure the officers
and employees of the railroads and the
stockholders of the protection of the
just interest of all.
The responsibility for the operation
of the roads will rest directly upon the
regional directors, to whom the Fed
eral managers report, and not upon
the railroad board of directors, though
the latter will be consulted and accord
ed the fullest opportunity to keep ad-
vised of the operation Of the proper
ties,
The regional directors and federal
managers will be required to sever
their official relations with their re-
spective companies and become ex.
clusively representatives of the United
States railroad administration
The effect of this order will be t.
take away the authority Of the prest.

alization Of railroad management.
With this change will come larg,
reduction in salaries, though it is be.
lieyed that most of the regional d.
rectors will receive a greater salary
than Secretary McAdoo himself.
Director General McAdoo states
that the policy adopted will be applied
with the greatest possible regard fol
all the interests affected, and with 9
view to preserving intact, so far al
reasonably practical, the operating
organizations of the railroads.

QUA GOYERNMENT SANS.

The war has served to exhibit to the
country at large, as the country never
quite realized before, its dependence
upon agriculture and the manifold
problems which beset our primary in
dustry. There is reason to believe,
therefore, that during the coming
year agriculture will have the actiys
sympathy and cooperation of all tae
citizens and classes who are in po-
sition to render aid. The farmers Of
the United States will not fail to dc
all they can in this emergency, and
with favorable seasons, they will pro-
duce enough to sustain the population,
to keep our army and navy in full
fighting vigor, and to supplement thl
depleted resources Of the allies.

JUNE GARDEN WORK.


OF course there viii be much plant
ing in the garlen in June, bit then
planting alone never did make a good
garden, and June is the month of
tillage.
Hoe without ceasing, except to let
the ground get dry enough after a
rain.
Hoe shallow ard hoe every bit of the
surface right up to the base of the
vegetables, so that the soil is fine all
over when the job is done. Hoe even
where there are no weeds to kill, if by
chance any such place should be dis
covered in a garden.
Hoeing is means of garden gracs.
Hoe often.
But hoe intelligently.
Don't hoe beans in the early morn
ing when they are wet, it will injurc
their leaves. And never hoe any
thing deep enough to injure the root;
of the plants.
June is the month of garden activ-
| ity. Plants grow. Bugs eat. Can the
gardener afford to be idle?

the selected man or soldier may be-
come menace. A duplicate notifica-
ton should be made by the local author
tiles to the state board of health au-
thorities.
off there are no health authori-
ties having jurisdiction, the physician
should notify (by telephone or tele-
graph if necessary the senior medical
officer of the camp or post to which
the selected man or soldier is about 70

3-The notification shall be eXplic-
it, giving name of selected man or
soldier and other Identification data
together with his address and the ma

tiles should be in addition to the pres
ent procedure in such cases"

THE UNIFYING INFLUENCE
OF THE WAR

"In my own mind am convinced
that not a hundred years of peace
could have knitted the nation together
as this single year Of war has knitted
it together, and, better even than that
if possible it is knitting the world to-
gether. Look at the picture: In the
center oft he scene four nations engage
against the world, md at every point
of vantage showing that they are seek
ing self aggrandizement; and against
them twenty-three governments repre-
senting the greater part Of the popula-

in 1918. Food and feed valued at
S4,O19,121 was the total production Of
boy-club members in the south last
year, according to compilation recent
ly made by leaders in the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture. The report
shows that 115,745 were enrolled in
the regular clubs in IA states, Alaba-

regular members probably 100000
it is estimated, were reached and were
helped in food and feed production

small farmers could assist one another
and do the haying on each farm in
two or three days by reason Of more
equipment, more teams and more la
Dor, together with the greater eff
cheney from larger crews in hayins
operations. In the same way this
group of small farmers, having been
able to complete their harvest in a
much shorter period, would be able tt
assist the farmer with the large hay
ing, either by hiring to him, or by in
terchange of work. Such an arrange
ment would permit of all the harvest
work on these farms being carried on
without hiring additional labor which
has been the usual custom in a great
many instances.

GEORGE BERRY HEEDs
THE CALL OF DUTY
Able President of Pressmen's Union
Refuses to Withdraw His Active In
terest in War Program to Accept
Honor Friends Would Bestow.

Rogersville, Tenn, June S-George
L. Berry, president of the International
Printing Pressmen's and Assistants
Union, has just returned here after
his recent trip to England and France
as member of the American war mis-
sion. During his absence friends u
Mr.. Berry qualified him as candidate
for governor of Tennessee. In tel
egram from Washington Thursday Nh.
Berry declined to make the race, stat
ing that he would make public his rea-
sons for this action when he reached
Rogersville. Mr.. Berry had stopped
over in Washington for conferences
with President Wilson.
In his statement declining to make
the race for governor Mr.. Berry gave
another instance of his red-blooded
Americanism by emphasizing the fact
that all personal ambition, no matte.
/ how laudable it may be should ba
swept aside at this time in order that
/ the energies of the people may be con-
centrated on the war program.
This position is in keeping with the
past performances of Mr.. Berry. 4
4 leader of unquestioned ability, loyal TO
the union cause he has for many years
so ably represented, he sweeps aside
all political and industrial differences
for the time, declining preferred hon
or that he may do his full duty ii
making the world fit abode for the
living and generations to come.
Mr.. Berry's statement follows:
II appreciate fully the action taker
by my friends in qualifying me as .
candidate for the democratic nomina'
ton for governor during my absence
and also the many friendly solicitations
| find from friends all over the STATE
urging me to make the race for gov
ernor.
"Aside from the utter impossibilit.
Of my making a thorough campaign
of the state within the few weeks pre-
vious to the primary find it impossl
BILE for me to withdraw my interes
; in the prosecution of the war. To m
the furtherance of the war program
of our government and the untirini
support to the president of the Unite
States is of the greatest Importance
Certain duties have been assigned t
me which will probably take me t
France within the next six weeks tina
are Of such a character that will no
allow me the opportunity of particl
pating in the campaign.
at will be my purpose during ia
war to put forth every effort at m
command to assist in crushing milital
ism abroad and Prussian propaganda
everywhere. Our military operation
! have made every American soldiel
? and everyone who directly or indirect
ly, whether he be in the trench or q
! home should give comfort to the enem
is at raitor, not only to his country bu
to the cause of world democracy. Ey
cry unit of our national society has It
: junction, and it must be carried thr
l to fnality There is no sacrifice to
great for us to make in supporting on
allies in crushing the Hun and h
, sympathizers. f"
