SHEEP PRODUCTION

The Food Administration asks tlat
farmers raise a few sheep for the
market. They are also asked to retain
the ewes or to sell them to tanners
who will keep them for breeding pur-
poses.
The governemnt is appealing to the
people to increase the sheep crop for
both meat and wool purposes. Each
soldier demands about 65 pounds Of
wool per year and the great demand
has caused a shortage in the crop For
particulars relative to sheep produc-
tions write or see Mr.. A. D. Knox at
the University of Tennessee, Knox

TO THE GRANGER
COUNTY TEACHERS

We will have shortage of efficient
teachers in Granger county for the
coming year. | would suggest that
all teachers who mean to attend
school during the summer in order
to have their certificates renewed, GO
to the State Normal School at John.
son City. 1t is our own East Tennes.
see Normal where teachers are being
trained and prepared for better work
in the school room.
The county board of education will
pay better salaries to the teachers
who attend the summer term at John
son City than will be paid to those
who do not. 1t will be better for
Granger county teachers to attend
the summer term at the Normal
School than to attend the Summer
School at Knoxville because the sum-
mer term at the State Normal will
close before the schools open in Grain
ger county, while the Summer School
at Knoxville, will not close until af-
ter our schools have opened. Hence,
those who mean to teach should go
to Johnson City in order to be ready
for work when our schools begin.
Teachers who hold certificates that
will expire June 80, may have them
renewed for two years by attending
the summer term at the Johnson City
Normal, and doing satisfactory work
in at least three courses. This you
must do and file your grades with
me not later than the date of our
county institute which will not be
later than July %.
ANY teacher of experience who has
made good and who holds state
certificate, though it be out of date,
may have same renewed by attending
the State Normal during the summer
term this year. There will be no other
examination held in Granger county
in which applicants might have an
opportunity to qualify in time to
teach the coming year.
Yours for better schools,
H. G. Farmer, County Superintendent
