Th1s has been another profitable
week in the Farm Demonstration
work according to j. A. Patrick, the
county demonstration agent. The
visit to j. W. Tyson was very
interesting and Mr.. Tysons' farm and
home showed many evidences of pro.
gressiyeness. Mr., Tyson installed
water in his home and premises sew.
en- years ago. A windmill has fur.
nished water for his place at no more
expense than little grease. Mr.
E. Tyson has country home with
city conveniences. He is saving 9
nice lot Of red clover seed and is us.
1 ing every precaution to keep it free
Of weeds.
His coen was cu:,,; atcd just right
The las. cultivation was given with
the hoe attachment on his cultiNat1i
instead of the disc. Mr.. Tyson is OF
the opinion that the disc goes toe
deep and cuts the roots too much
He is discarding the disc for the hoe
and spring tooth attachments. Mr.
Tyson had good results from spraying
his orchard.
There is still a possibility for the
development Of the lime in the Elk.
horn community owned by Mr.. c. III
Williams, known as the lime kiln fol
agricultural purposes. Of all the
riches beneath the soil in Henry coun.
ty this is probably the most valua

Mr.. Peyton Wynn received reg
istered ram from East Tennessee

last week or so.
Nearly all the transformer
have reported this seasons thrash
ing. There are four thrashermen
who have not yet reported. 1t is Of
the utmost Importance that those mer
who have not yet reported to do Sc
at once. The county agent is indeed
thankful to those reporting for theil
promptness and for the care in which
their reports are made.
Judging from reports made Henry
county is doing her part in the pro.
duction of wheat. Reports to date
show 42,820 bushels produced this
year. Reports yet to be made will
raise this amount to $4,000 bushels
and probably more.
We are asked for an increase Of
seven per cent in 1919. Farmers
are urgently requested to keep this
in mind and plant this fall not only
to reap harvest that will give us an
increase of seven per cent, but even
more than the increase asked.
Look out for seed Try to get seed
from variety of wheat that is sue
ceeding here in this country. DR..
Charles Rogers, of Como, makes a
good report on the use of phosphate
on his wheat On land that had been
in wheat two years an application of
800 pounds of 16 per cent. phosphate
per acre resulted in an increase Of
five bushels of wheat per acre.
Henry county was honored last
week with visit of Professor HI. A..

culture and State Food Administra-
tor. Prof. Morgan is the founder

tension work in Tennessee. He has

man in Tennessee.
