Meeting the Labor Problem

There are three or four possible
methods of overcoming the labor
shortage
First, where the land and crops
lend themselves to machine cultiva-
ton, machinery and horses or tractors
may be substituted for hand labor.
This machinery may be purchased CO.
operatively, and so reduce the cost to
the individual.
Second, there is possibility Of CO.
operative employment of labor by the
cooperative employment of two or
three men who will work for num-
Der of farmers.
Third, there is the possibility Of So
curing high school boys and men in
cities, now engaged in other occu-
pations.
Fourth, careful planning-that Is,
better farm management-will reduce
the amount of labor required.
1t is really time for the farmer to
plan efficient methods. We are vast
ing tremendous amounts of labor at
the present time.

"In the event both Gen. Charles T.

come candidates fqF the United States
Senate in opposition to Senator John

former governor recently told a num-
Der of friends in Nashville and Mem
phis of his intention to seek the
Democratic nomination if Senator
Shields has more than one opponent
"Local Democrats have been taking
it for granted that Gen. Gates will
be in the race, as it is known that
Senator Shields will seek a second
term, and for this reason they have
been figuring on a race between these
gentlemen, with a strong possibility
that Gov. Rye might become can-
didate. Rhe announcement that for
mer Gov. Patterson expects to enter
the lists will come as a distinct sur
prise, and possibly put some new an
giles on the situation.
".Gen. Gates has just returned home
from Nashville, where he conferred
with friends regarding the situation.
"In the event that Gen. Gates, Gov.
Rye and former Gov. Patterson enter
the fight against Senator Shields, it
is not believed that the situation will
be greatly changed in East Tennessee,
since it has been conceded that the
fight in this division of the state
will be between the present senator

Reasons for HOG Raising

Hog raising gives man larger,
better and more regular food supply.
Practically every farm keeps some
set of animals, and hogs are among
the best to keep.
During the last half century ami
mails have not increased in numbers
as rapidly as the inhabitants. The
value Of animals has decreased rap
idly.
Hogs make use of farm products
which would be entirely or partially
waste. In fact, the usefulness of a
given animal may be judged by the
economy with which he converts these
otherwise useless products into food
for man.

hogs will be raised in the section
where they can be raised cheapest
and that farmers will dispose of

Tennessee should produce more

Loyalty

Planting big food crops is the great
est thing that these men can do for
their flag. If they are not willing
to do it, then / have no hesitation
in saying that they are disloyal. There
are only two sides to this question
now: A man is either for the flag
or he is against it. If he is for it,
he is willing to do anything in his
power for his country. If he isn't
willing to do anything in his power
he might just as we'll be frank about
it and come out openly on the side
of Germany.
1t the supply merchant is patriotic
he will urge the farmer to plant food
stuffs, even though he himself suffers
a financial loss. Is it any great thing
we are asking these men to do when
we are asking our boys to enlist in
the army and navy, possibly to be
shot up for their flag?

country equally with the soldier, who
