DRAIN THIS LAND AND
MAKE PRODUCTIVE

There should be movement
started by the citizens of this
community for the organiza-
ton of drainage district
southe asst of Newark for the
purpose of digging a large
drainage ditch from some point
near town into Black river.
There is a large area of good
farming land lying idle IN this
section that should be drained,
cleared up and put into cult
walton.
Idle land is Improbable
land. 1t is not only unprofit-
able, but it is a drain upon the
community that maintains IL,
in the way of taxes and n
terest.
If we had big drainage dis
trict through that section and
all land from Newark to Black
river cleared up and in cult
walton, the improvements then
made would be worth mil
lion dollars to this community
in a very few years time.
There are vast agricultural
and commercial possibilities
lying dormant right under our
feet in this community.
Lying idle right at our door
are 1000 to 5000 acres of
good land that should be pro-
ducing $50 to $50 worth of
farm products every year.
ms means easily a quarter
of a million dollars lost to this
community every year that this
land is permitted to remain in
idleness.
This is a matter of serious
Importance for the upbuilding
of this community and is one
that is worthy of the serious
thought of the best citizens of
our county.
Some of our citizens of a
constructive turn of mind
should get together and dis
cuss this mat er and start
movement to drain and open
up this vast area of good farm
ing land that is now lying idle
and doing good for nobody.

An Agricultural Club in ev-

WHY WE WANT THEM
First: it is the patriotic duty
of every American boy and girl
to do their Bit in helping to
end successfully this awful war
and if given an opportunity we
believe they will do it. We
know of no better way for the
farmer boys and girls to do
their bit than by joining soms
of the Agricultural clubs above
mentioned which are being or
ganized in every county in the
State by the county agents and
the object of which is to grow
food for themselves and for
their brothers by blood or
brothers by allegiance to a
common cause.
Second: Aside from the OPP
portunity to serve their coun-
try in this time of great need,
which within itself is sufficient
reason why every boy and girl
should join some club, there is
very great educational value
to this work for the boys and
girls. They learn to do by
doing-not unusual things but
usual things in an unusual way.
Third: 1t is a good business
proposition. They are taught
he values of farm bookkeeping
which enables them to Know
whether they are farming at a
profit or at a loss. 1t shows
up the leaks in their system
of managing and shows them
how to stop these leaks. Then,
too, these boys and girls make
money which they can call their
own and which they can use
and spend as they please, but
most of which, we are glad to
say, is being wisely used, put in
savings banks or, better still,
invested in War Savings
Stamps, which is another way
of showing their patriotism.
For further information in
regard to the clubs, see your
County Agent or write to w. J.

which the conception here expressed
OF this early leader Of democratic
thought and purpose, has shaped and

character of his great disciple.
The visible and concrete evidence
of this guiding principle of his thought
and action which Mr. Wilson has
given in all his official and diplomatic
dealings with the governments of
the Central Empires, is truly remark
able, and so apparent that any con
fail to observe it. He has spoken al
ways to the peole concerned, show
ing them the trua character Of their
rulers and calling upon them unceas-

equality. He has spoken over the
heads of rulers, and direct to the
common man. And now his. patience
and continuity of purpose are find

and purposes expressed, that the very
governments which he has so severe
ly castingated in all his utterances,
now turn to him for peace. And so
unselfish has been his course and con

all the nations of the earth, friend
and foe alike, look TO him to name the
conditions of peace, and make dis

Reduce Your Grain Purchases

There are more cows in Tennessee
that fail to pay a profit because of
not being properly fed than there are
cows that fail to nay because Of being
poor individuals. The cow-testing as
ISOLATION is of great value in detect
ing the low producers, but it is of
equal, or greater value as an index
to proper feeding. In some of the
Tennessee associations about one
fourth of the cows have been sold
during the first year as being unprof-
table. Many of these cows were
near the. border line Of profit and
loss, and doubtless some Of them
were sold too hastily. In many cases
the COW did not have a fair chance
because of unbalanced rations or under
feeding. In such cases the fault was
not the cows. but her owners, because
he insisted on giving her feeds pur-
chased at high prices. This is es-
pecially true with regard to pro-
tein, part, at least. Of which should
have been grown on the farm, in the
form Of legume hay. Such practice
uniustly penalties the COW for poor
management. If liberal allowance
Of good legume hay had been fed
in connection with good silage only
small amount of grain would have
had to be purchased. Many 'sborder
line" cows would have been put into
the profitable class and the profit
from the herd materially increased.

Miss M. A., Dear Miss:-Just re,
ceiyed your letter of April 9th, and
was sure glad to hear from you and
to hear that you were well. we are
having a hard time. Guard duty IS
heavy. We have to take the Yanks
out to get wood to do their cooking.
Our regiment has to furnish about
100 men each day as post guards and
that many more to take the Yanks
out to get wood. Each guard takes
out five men to get their load OF
wood, take them in and get five more.
IL is getting warm down here, so my
dear. write often and give all the
news. | do wish the war would
close and we could all return home
to stay. Your Uncle George is well
and says your Aunt Classy is coming
to see him before long Do hope
YOU will be sure to send me long
letter by her if she does come.
So goodbye, my love. AS ever,
yours in much love,
S. w. FOWLER.
