Great Little Annihilators.

| UFedt G1ttlt hnulu11dLOTS.
Having until the past few day
scoffed at the idea that there were
enough American troops in Europe Il
deserve anything but derision anC
contempt from the Germans, the Ger
man agencies which supply informa
ton for the uniformed have now
changed tactics and while admitting
that there are many Americans or
the battlefront, are reporting regu-
larly their humiliation"
The semi-official Wolff Agency, as
usual, is the leader in this lying
Two or three days ago it sent forth
the news that the Americans in one
engagement had been slaughtered by
the hundreds of thousands, and when
this was received even by the guilt
BILE as too exaggerated for CREDIBLE
ity it followed with a correction,
averring that it had meant tens of
thousands instead of hundreds of
thousands. Since then it has con-
tinued assiduously the work of ami
hilation. Thus on Wednesday this
Agency of Me and Beelzebub, re-
porting the fighting on Clignon
Brook, near Chateau Thierry,
wherein various villages repeatedly
changed hands, ultimately remain
ing in German hands (the fact be-
ing that there are now in those viii
lagos no Germans except dead Ger
mans) said "it was particularly the
Americans who bled most heavily.
Heretofore the Americans only have
fought together with white French.
The result of their present mixture
with white men and blacks was that
the Americans suffered literally an
Inhalation losses in our fire. At
many points mountains of American
corpses lowered before our lines"
Another chapter in the Agency's
humiliation" serial was thus
added:
During the useless enemy at
lacks, on the goth, at Ploisy, the
backward flowing enemy masses,
among which were particularly
Americans, were seized by our con-
centric humiliation fire which clean
ed up amongst the enemy"
This is the sort of news" the Kali
ser's Agency is supplying, especially
for home consumption. Having long
told the people that there were vir-
tually no Americans in France and
that it would be impossible to get
them there, and the German war cor
respondents having reported that
there are many Americans partici-
pating in Foch's counter stroke, Ber-
lin Is now busy announcing the an
initiation of those Americans, cal
lous to the inevitability that as it
was impossible to conceal that there
are formidable forces of Americans
on the French battlefields it will be
equally impossible to conceal that
the real annihilating which the Teu-
tons have been doing is annihilcting
the distance between the pursuing
Americans and safer ground back

EXPENSES.


When he had subtracted the ex,
penses from the receipts he had $56 to
pay his own wages and the interest on
his investment of IS $50. II it had been
necessary to pay interest at SO on this
investment he would have given his
own time and lost 1922 besides.
What to do? How to decrease the
expenses and increase the receipts?
Jones knew both were necessary.
Jones knew that his labor was worth
as much as that of any hired man in
the neighborhood, and that if he had
paid himself wages his labor bill would
have been, not $500, but at least $3.50.
It was perfectly evident that he must
cut down the labor or do more bust
ness. To increase business such as
Jones requires either large imme-
diate investment or time for natural
growth. He chose to go slowly. AS a
first step towards making his labor
cost balance properly with his bust
ness he dropped one of his men.
Desires Some Money Crops.
1t seemed to Jones that in spite Of
the fact that he had one less man,
there would still be considerable time
when the labor on the farm would not
be used for that which brings in
money. He arrived at the conclusion
that labor could be profitably employ
ed in raising crops that could be sold
at a profit. He decided to grow to-
bacco, wheat, and soy beans in linn
tied way. To add to his sales and
make further winter work, he mate
rally increased his poultry business.
By feeding his skimmilk to pigs and
calves he would be able to turn this
by-product into cash. He felt that
these changes, together with the work
he was doing to increase the yield of
his cows, would at once turn the loss
into profit and constitute steps in the
building up of larger and more salts
factory business They did.
The second years business looked
like this:

hat Ne had cut out over $500 OF his
.abor expenses and had slightly re-
,uced his total expenses he had nearly
doubled the value of his receipts.
Jones is not stopping. He realizes
hat he has simply taken the first step
coward placing his farm on a sound
business basis. AS q result of his &C
counts and his second years study he
is preparing to continue along the lines
ne has started and TO make few other
changes.
Making Plans for Next Year.
His dairy records thus far have been
laily records of the production of his
COWS. Since he is selling butter, it is
lust as important to know how rich
this milk is. He is making arrange
ments to have his milk tested from
time to time SO that he will know ex-
actly what each COW is producing. In
order to build up his herd and to con-
tinue to increase his production, he
has already purchased and will use a
purebred bull He feels that without
increasing his labor expenses he can
carry a few more cows and expects to
purchase them. He is also planning to
increase slightly the money crops
which his farm is producing. Jones is
contemplating one other change this
year in his business management. His
horses, a great deal of the time, are
not busy. During the winter, he plans
to have these horses worked at outside
work when they are not busy at farm
business, if this can be done without
interfering with the regular farm work.
AS stated in the beginning, Jones is
not an exceptional character, but a
working farmer on an ordinary Mont
gomery county farm. To the casual
passerby or to Jones neighbors there
is very little to indicate that there has
been any particular change in Jones'
business. He has bought little new
machinery, built no new barns, nor
remodeled old ones. He has simply
thought and observation and has kept
accounts and carefully studied them.
Jones is a scientific farmer. He
doesn't know it, and his neighbors
don't know it. But Jones is putting
into practice the very best business
methods that are making farms sue
cessful all over the United States. He
is studying his farm business as every
man must study who is to succeed per
manently. The soundness of the con-
illusions that Jones has reached and
put into effect are verified by the fol-
lowing facts regarding 66 farms in
Montgomery county, the figures for
which are on file at the Tennessee
College of Agriculture, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville.
