ALFALFA IN TENNESSEE

You can't take a good picture OF
alfalfa as it is growing in the field,
no matter how good the crop may be
or how expert you may be as pho
tegrapher. This picture Is really as
good as one ever sees, and yet the
alfalfa might be several things, as tar
as the reader of this paper can tell. 1t
is alfalfa, however, and it Is growing
in Marion county This field is owned
by one of the demonstrators working
under the direction of the County
Agent. A demonstrator, for those
who do not know, is farmer who
agrees to follow the instructions of
the County Agent in the growing Of a
particular crop. He has certain records
to keep. Every now and then meet
ing Is held on the demonstration laad
People can see In that way just what
certain methods of farming will do and
what they will not do. :"
The picture is not printing plain here
but you can see how high the alfalfa
reaches up on the legs of the farmers.

HELD
BY FARMERS NOW
FLOOD MARKET
Prices Way Down and Grow
ers Are Sure to Be
Big Losers

The present supply of old potatoes
which the government is urging the
public to consume in preference to
the new ones which are now coming
in is the result of the refusal of the
farmers to ship stocks last fall.
Provision merchants and commits
sion men declare that the farmers
aSe now paying for their folly
The Federal Food Boards appeal
to the public to eat potatoes is all
right but it has come too late" said
p. Willis Holden. large New York
provision merchant. THE public
must take advantage of the low price
of potatoes to save wheat, of course,
but whether this will be enough to
saSe last years potatoes from rot-
ting on the farms is another mat
ter"
What the public can consume be-
tween now and May rs, when old
potatoes will be out of season, is only
a drop in thee bucket, so far as
saving the potato situation is con-
cerned.
The great influx of old potatoes is
keeping down the price of new ones,
which are coming in from Florida at
the rate of twenty carloads a day.
The present price, $5 a barrel of
three bushels, is. ruinous to the farm
ers.
The Florida farmers expected at
least IS barrel. Last year at this
time they were getting from S11 to
S12. Their season ends on May %.
and there is, no hope of retrieving
their losses.
Last years potato crop was huge.
There were 440, 600, 900 bushels of
potatoes on the farms last fall, and
the farmers held them for higher
prices. Allowing 100,000,000 BUSH
els for seed it meant that every
member of the potato-eating popu-
lation of the United States had to
consume five bushels between Mo-
vember 1 and June 1.
The result is that this years po-
tato planting is so to 40 per cent
less than last years. The banks
are reluctant to finance this years
crops.

Blow on Top Crust

hit staggering blow on the crust
when local Food Administrator Da-

and that there will be drastic pun
ishment for violations Bakers al
ready are protesting that good pie
cannot be made with S3 1-S per cent.
of substitutes in the crust Mr.. Da-
vies replies that this will accomplish
the very purpose sought-to discour-
age the baking of pie.
Notice is given that ice cream
cones, pastry OF all kinds and fried
cakes of all kinds. batter cakes, waf-
files. etc, are included in the new
ruling.

SuGAR Is FOOD

Sugar is a valuable food, power
full stimulant, and a great producer of
heat and nerve force.
Arctic explorers, and other persons
who have to do very hard work un-
der extremely trying climatic condi-
tions, invariably develop an intense
craving for sugar, and eat enormous
quantities of it,
The Klondyke miners even sweeten
their salt pork with it. and it has
been found that those who eat large
quantities of sweets do twice the
work of men who let sugar alone.
The Italian Alpini soldiers. who are
called upon to march and fight at
nigh attitudes. carry a liberal supply
of sugar in their kits whenever pos
sible. Negroes in the harvest fields
grow fat on sugar cane, although
their diet in other respects is neither
varied nor abundant.

ed their occupation. 1t has also been
found that the employer of the man
in many cases fails to notify the local
or district board in authority having
jurisdiction over the registrant that
the man is no longer in his employ.
The regulations provide that when
the reason for which a deferred
classification was granted cease to
exist, a new classification shall be
given.
The failure to give notice that n
registrant has changed his occupa-
ton, does not put him in his proper
place in the draft list.
