exposed to injury The walls are low

normal foot, caused by tie arch of the
sole as it rests on the wall, is absent
either partially or altogether in fat
feet. For this reason the weight of the
animal must be supported on the
ground by all the parts on the bottom

Fungus Wit. This disease attacks
the plants thru the roots, and may be-
gin in the plant bed or in the field.
Symptoms: the lower leaves begin to
turn yellow and wilt, and gradually
the whole plant willis and dies, These
symptoms usually appear first when
the fruit is about half grown. The
fungus causing this wilt lives in the
soil.
To control, rotate crops so that to-
matoes will not follow tomatoes.
When a field is infected, leave off to-
matoes for four or five years. Grow
plants in beds free from disease. Re-
place the soil each year with fresh soil
from the woods or from fields where
tomatoes have not been grown. Carry
only healthy plants to the field Dis
eased plants can usually be told by
holding them up to the light. Black
streaks in the stem show that wilt is
present Pull out all sickly looking
plants from the rows and replace them
with healthy ones. Spraying will not
control this disease. The following
commercial varieties are more or less
resistant to wilt. Livingstons Globe,
Hastings Duke of York, and Buckeye
State.
Bacterial Wit. This disease is COM
mon in some sections. The leaves in
the top of the plant begin to wilt first,
and the disease works down the plant
till 1t dies. This disease also lives in
the soil and is spread from plant to
plant by insects.
To control, rotate crops as for Fun
gus Wilt. Spray the plants in the field
soon after transplanting and every two
weeks afterwards with pound of ar
senate of lead in barrel of Bordeaux
mixture to control insects and leaf
diseases.

The Writer Lets His Imagination

That Are Typical
SAYS DRAFT MARES NEEDED
The Farm Hsrs Pictured Can Be pu.

and Therefore the Story viii Inter
! est Many Farmers-po You Have
Draft Mares On Your Farms

by r. N. Murphy, Livestock Special
list, Division OF Agricultural Extsn.
sion. University Of Tennessee, Knox
ville.)
We go visiting to q livestock farm
and ask that we be shown the live
stock thereof We are first taken out
TO the barn for a look at the horses
and there are led out, for our gratif'
cation, specimens" which embody the
perfection Of grace and beauty and
their owner recounts with facility the
noted sires and dams In their lines Of
ancestry, calling particular attention
10 their respective two-minute per-
formances and. by chance. referring to
Brown Squirrel Hal Patch, etc, whose
names we. of course, repeat after him
as an indication that we have con.
versational acquaintance with them.
Frankly, we are not looking for just
this kind of horse and as we admire
them a question occurs and recurs to
our minds as to the use that is being
made OF them in connection with the
operation of the farm. There is no
doubling the pleasure we should have
enjoyed spinning along as result of
their spirited action but we have been
brought out to the farm in Ford and
have made arrangements to return by
the same method.
By chance we observe that the liv
cry stable to which we are directed
for transportation out to the farm has
been converted into garage and when
we express preference for nice
team, we are informed that horses are
no longer used for such purposes and
that Ford will go anywhere.
In the face Of such an argument, we
acquiesce for we can see that from the
stable owners standpoint he is exactly
right. His patrons are more concerned
about quick service than about pleas
ure rides. Their chief concern Is to
make trip and return as quickly as
possible. The horse has been rele
gated to the past and this will occur
with greater rapidity as good roads
come The wonder OF it all is that this
farmer should, because of sentiment
for the things of the past, still cling
to the light horse which he himself
can not use on his farm and which has
been superseded on the highway.
Further inquiry develops the fact
that he is doing his farm work with
big mules, very satisfactorily indeed
and, as they pass forcefully by, their
massive conformation assures us that
their dams were draft-bred mares
Were it only matter of business with
him rather than sentiment he would
undoubtedly be keeping draft mares
instead of light mares, raising the kind
OF workstock he has found best adapt
ed to his purpose and the kind that
the market is demanding

A SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTS
FOR TENNESSEE FARMERS

A uniform accounting system fol
Tennessee farmers has been completed
by the specialists of the Division OF
Extension of the University OF Ten
nessee, Knoxville. The system, which
is adapted to the average Tennessee
farm, is now ready for distribution.
That there is great need of stand
ardizing account keeping in this field
of business is recognized by those who
have come in cont9ct with it. This
system has been tried out on number
of farms, and has proven very salts

The Division of Extension is pre-

and in so far as practicable, to render
assistance thru its representatives ia
farmers desiring its installation.

alfalfa might be several things, as fan

WHAT GREAT BRITAIN DID
WITHOUT FARM LABOR

(By c. E. Alfred, Specialist in Farm
Management, Division Of Agricul
tural Extension. University Of Ten
nessee).
Some have said that food production
in this country will fall below expec
tations because Of a shortage of farm
labor. Great Britain's normal domes
tic production Of wheat is about so,
100000 bushels year, but last yeal
with many Of her men at war. she
raised 64,O00,OO0 bushels.
Many of our farm boys have already
gone to war, but We too must keep "
our production.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY

The Food Production Drive which
took much of the time of the County
Agents during April has proven its
value Farmers were asked to state
on pledge sheets prepared for the pur
pose, the number of acres in certain
staple crops on their farms in 1917 and
the number they planned for the same
crops in 1918. The response was al
most unanimous where farmers could
be reached. The results fer the Gov
ernment will bring Tennessee to "the
front line trenches" of food and feed
production

DO THE THING LATER

That portion of the garden, grown
up to weeds, with nothing good on it,
could not be put to better use than to
plant it to Dwarf Essex rape as VIM
ter pasture for poultry. Hens will not
lay eggs in the fall and winter months
unless they have an abundant supply
of succulent. green food and ample an
lmal protein. Rape will supply the
succulent, green food and commercial
beef scraps the animal protein. Corn
and oats are the necessary grains.

CHECKING Up BREAD
CARD DEL|NDUENTS

Russell Brown, food administra-
tor for Carter county. was endeav-
oring yesterday to find how many
have been delinquent in making ap-
plications for bread cards. He did
not leave his desk all day, but was
busily engaged in issuing cards to
persons who had failed to file ap-
plications. It was believed that all
in the county had filed their appli-
cations a week ago, but they have
been coming ever since. the num-
Der apparently Increasing as the
days go by. These persons never
thought of the card until they were
out of flour, went to purchase it and
found they could not get it without
4 card. One man said that he had
read in the newspapers that the
grocers would be supplied with the
application blanks, but when he
went TO his grocer he had none.
The food administrator said that
grocer had number and was told
to send for more if he needed them.
As a result, the man had to drive
many miles into Ardmore to get a
card. Another man said he was
not worrying, as he had plenty OF
cornmeal, but other members OF
his family did not like corn bread
as he did, so he had to come TO
town and get card. Up to 2
o'clock yesterday the food admins
traitor had issued more than 100
cards for that one day.
