CRIMSON CLOVER
IN TENNESSEE
How One County Grows II With
Good Success Every
Year and Why
GOOD METHODS NECESSARY
The Reasons franklin County 0Ivsa
for Growing Crimson Clover Are
that Il II Winter Grazing Crop, .
Sell Builder, and . Money Crop.

Crimson clover was first grown In
Franklin county in 1850 by John Buch.
Belvidere, Tennessee. In 1914 1t Was
estimated that there Was 100 acres In
the county. In 1915 the estimated crop
was around 400 acres. In 1915 the
acreage had increased to about 1000.
In 1917, the acreage fell of, due to
severe winter weather. Much OF the
clover WAS killed because of late seed
ing. In 1918 about 5000 acres were
harvested.
The farmers prepare their land In
July. They prefer grain stubble land
They subsoil and disk. They SOW In
August, using Is pounds good, clean

There are thnae distinct reasons for
growing crimson clover:

the best of all winter crops. II seeded
early and plenty of seed used. II will
furnish a good sod 50 that II may be
pastured 6 to 3 weeks after being seed

with the clover may be fed with good
results. Rape added WIN be all right
for the pigs. After the crimson clover
is harvested, the red clover may b
pastured within two weeks. Six pounds
of red clover Is often sown. too. Ind

Right now the government is rushing them across the sea to do their glor- ious share in the preservation of our freedom. Many of them will pay in blood, and they will gladly pay. What does their sacrifice mean to you? Turn that question over in your mind a while before you answer it. It is the fundamental question, the vital question. What does their sacrifice mean to you? They pay in blood; how will you pay? What are you going to do to help the boys?

KILL EIGHT WOLVES

Last Sunday two grown and six young wolves probably about a week old were killed in the Sheepneck neighbolhood.
 Dogs ran the wolves into their den in Cedar Hollow on the farm of l.. N. Hilger. A crowd of the young men of the neighborhood quickly gathered. Three blasts were made with dynamite but they failed to dislodge the wolves. Wiley Carruthers then crawled into the cave, shined the eyes of the wolves and shot them. The capture was two old ones and six young ones. One

WHAT ARE YOU
 GOING TO DO?

What are you going to do to help. the boys" This is the re- frain of the new official song of the Liberty Loan Campaign, and 1t Is as personal as it is per tlnent. In every city and hamlet in the country the work will be started with greater earnestness and greater assurance than in the two previous campaigns. Ev- erywher, no doubt, the campaign has been better organized. The governments call is for $3,000,- 100000 on this war loan.
 The American people will go over the top in it's third financial drive against the Kaiser. This is an offensive attack-very of- fensive to Gelmany-and it is one in which all of us can carry a bayonetted gun, so to speak. Men and women, old and young, Republican and Democrat, Prot estant and Catolic, Gentle and Jew-all of us, without distinc- ton of sex or condition, can and should take part in this attack on the intrenchments of Pruss- ian autocracy. And it is up to you-youwhose eyes are read ing these words, to say just how hard blow to strike for your country and for the advance ment of mankind. It is your task; it is your obligation; it is your duty. What are you going to do to help the boys?
 It makes no difference who you
 are,
 Or whence you came or how; TOUT Uncle Sammy helped you
 then, m
 And you must help him now. Your brothers will be fighting
 For your freedom over there; And if you love the Stars and
 Stripes,
 Then you must do your share.
 It is not an obligation that can be shirked without loss of sell respect. It is not a duty that can be conplacently left for some one else to do. Each and every American must do his part in the work of this war, and the financial help that Uncle Sam

Wilson to Attend
Peace Conference?
Is Being Urged to

Washington, Nov. Messages
from high sources in Europe are
reaching President Wilson, urging
that he personally attend the great
peace conference that will settle
finally the issues growing out of the
war. The president, it was said to-
day, has given no indication of how
he regards the suggestion, though
some of those usually well inform
ed believe he has an open mind on
the subject and may give it con-
sideration-
Members of the presidents offic-
ial family are understood to be
strongly advising against the step
There are no definite constitu-
tional obstacles to the presidents s
participation in a peace conference
in Europe or at any point outside
of the United States. On more than
one occasion the chief executive
has gone beyond the territorial linn
its of the United States without
thereby ceasing to exercise his
functions. President Roosevelt Wis
tied the canal zone; President Taft
crossed the st. Lawrence into Can
ada, and President Benjamin Har-
rison crossed the Rio Grande to
meet President DiaZ of Mexico.

same terms of internment as other
high officers of the German army.
He has taken the name of Count
William HohenZollern and is ex-
pected to buy an estate and remain
in Holland, according to an AM
sterdam despatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company.
The Telegraaf of Amsterdam
says that he was allowed TO take

to an Amsterdam dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph. His departure
from Germany was actuated by a
desire to facilitate the work of the
new government
London, Tuesday, Nov. 12-HoI-
lands hesitancy in dealing with
William Hohenzollern is ascribeI
to the extremely indefinite state Of
public opinion in Holland, by the
Amsterdam correspondent OF the
Mail. He says that the revolution
ary soldiers along the Dutch from
tier say that they were strictly or
dered to prevent the former en-
peror and his family to escape into
Holland.
Late Saturday night and shortly
after 9 o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, he says, the sound of cannon
could be heard from German terri
tory. 1t was reported that a fight
had taken place between revolu-
zionist and royalist troops and that
both sides had used artillery.
Amsterdam, Tuesday, Nov. L.

the former German emperor is
staying, told the Handelsblad to-
day that it was only yesterday
