RAISE A LAMB
INSTEAD OF A PUP

This is the slogan for the farmers
of the United States. The United
States Food Administration is urging
upon its people increased production
of sheep and wool, and to further
this industry they are urging dog
owners to keep their dogs confined
particularly at night.
Mr.. A. D. Knox, in charge of the
sheep campaign for Tennessee, says
Il am advised that dealers have al
ready, or are endeavoring to con-
tract for lambs arranging 40 ship
them out as promptly as they can
secure deliveries. 1t would be a ca
lamity to our state if We should allow
ewes and eve lambs to be shipped to
later find that our farmers wanted
them. | want to urge the dealers
from patriotic standpoint that it is
their duty to hold back the early eve
lambs to be shipped to farmers who
are anxious to get into the sheep bu-
siness."

NJ. c. A. work during the period Of
the war. The resignation was referred
to the committee on foreign missions.
The question of union with the North-
ern Presbyterian church reached the
the southern Presbyterian General in
the report of the assembly conference
committees, which had met during the
year with a similar committee from
the the northern church.
The report showed the northern
church in favor of a union, while the
southern committee recommended a
federal union of the twelve Presbyta-
rian churches of the country under a
supreme. general assembly. Organic
union, if pressed at this time, woulsi
cause split in the southern church,
the report continued. This, the COM
mittee stated, would grow out of doc
trinal differences in referring to the
fact that men have been licensed to
preach by the northern church who do
not believe in the plenary inscription
of the scriptures, the virgin birth
miracles and the resurrection of Christ
Jesus.
Another reason charged the failure
of the northern church to carry out
its aims as to the counties where the
two churches overlapped, as in New
Orleans, Ell Paso and Springdale, Ark.
Differences of opinion on the negro
question was another reason cited.
Still another was the question of
church and state, the southern assem-
bly, holding that a church court had no
right to make a deliverance on civil
matters, while the northern church, it
was said, does this. 1t was also said
that the combined church and assem-
bly, would be too large and unwieldy.

GERMAN TANKS BEATEN
BY THE BRITISH TANKS

London, May 1S,-German tanks
which made their first appearance Oh
the western front during the recent
German offensive, came off second
best in their encounters with the more
powerful and better managed British
tanks. Full accounts have just reach
ed the British general staff of the first
pitched battle between German and
English tanks, in which a squadron Of
six German landships was routed by
the British on April "a near Villers
Bretonneux. Six German tanks APP
peared in front Of the British line and
started to roll up the TANKS of the
British infantry positions. A call for
help was sent to the nearest British
tank camp end squadron, including
both male" and female" tanks,
shortly appeared on the scene. A rough
and tumble combat ensued. 2
The British also brought up seven
of the new fast cruiser type, called
"Whippet" tanks, which attacked the
enemy's infantry positions on a ridge,
rolling up the German line from the
north. 1t developed that this line was
held by machine gun posts, while be-
yond the crest large German force
was massing in the open for an attack.
The Whippets ran from shell-hole to
shell hole, inficting terrible casualties
and completely disorganizing the enc
my's preparations for attack.
These seven tanks, each with a full
crew Of twenty men, inflicted more
than 400 casualties on the enemy in
this engagement, while the casualties
or board the tanks were only five men,
An officer of the general staff, COM
menting on this engagement . the
Associated Press said:

WHY MORE SHEEP
MUST Be RAISED

The food committee at Washington
estimates a world decrease of $4,000
900 head of sheep since the war began
1t requires the fleece Of twenty
sheep for each man in the service.
The entire wool clip of the United
States, if suitable for military purpo-
SEES would only clothe 100000 fighting
men. Much of the American wool is
not suitable for army purposes.
Every fleece of American grown
wool is direct contribution to increas-
ing the shipping tonnage available for
carrying supplies to Europe.
Only ten per cent of the farmers of
the United States are now keeping
sheep. One eve for each three acres
on one fourth Of the farms that have
no sheep would double the number
now in the country.
Tennessee has only 674,0OO head of
sheep today, This represents a de-
crease of twenty per cent since 1910.
1t would be possible to keep one sheep
on every three acres of improved land
in addition to the livestock already
maintained. On this basis, improved
farm land in Tennessee would care
for 100000 head of sheep with a to-
tai value, on basis of present prices,
of ST2,0OO,OOO.
The above does not take into consid-
Grafton something over 100000
of unimproved land, most of which
could be utilized as sheep pasture, and
would support one sheep to every six
acres. This would give US an addition

al number, approximately 100000, or

That mutton and wool production
in this country can be greatly increas-
ed admits of no doubt. This can be ac-
eomplished by developing sheep hus-
bandry on farms, especially u the east
ern and southern states. Steps should
be- taken in the east and south TO do
away with the sheep-kilhng dog meii-
ace by state or local legislation. Large
results can be secured BY improving
methods of breeding and managing
on the range; by securing the restocis-
ing of improved farm lands with
sheep; by the larger use OF forage
crops and pastures; by encouraging
sheep and lamb clubs; by the elimina-
ton of parasites, by protection against
losses from predatory animals, and by
having lambs ready for market at
from 70 to so pounds weight, thereby
requiring minimum of grain to finish
them and making possible the mainte-
nance of larger breeding fiocks.

First Discovery Of Gold in Montana.

The United States Geological Survey.
Department of the Interior, has for
distribution copies of Professional Pa
per rs, which describes the geology
and ore deposits Of the Phlipsburg
quadrangle, an area west of Anaconda,
Mont. Mining is by far the most i'm
portant industry in the PhilipSburg
district, and silver and gold are the
metals of chief commercial value, but
much Of the ore contains copper, which
is Of commercial value in some depoS-
its. The agricultural industry in the
region consists mainly of the raising
of live stock, for only the harder veg
etables can be successfully raised, and
the climate is too cold for fruit grow
ing.
The first discovery Of gold in Mon
tana is accredited to a half breed In
dian, who in 1852 found "colors" in
gravels near the mouth Of Gold Creek,
a small stream that rises in the north
east corner of the Philipsburg quad
rangle, and the first workable placers
discovered in Montana were found on
this creek in 1862. A small quantity
Of gold was taken out Of these gravels
by means Of sluice boxes on the creek
near the present site Of Pioneer. The
deposit afterward exploited by the Hope
mine was discovered in December, 1864,
and in 1865 Philipsburg was founded
just south Of the mine. Since that
time the Philipsburg district has pro-
duced about s50,000,000 in gold and sill
yer.
