reports a greater acreage than
ever before. E G. Miller re-
ports that this is his fourth year
with the crop, and that he has
averaged nearly five tons each
season to the acre. A 36-acre
red clover field, near the alfalfa,
was one of the best, if not the
best in the county. yet lite yield
was no more than half that made
by the alfalfa, according to al
falfa enthusiasts.
The plan of development in
Dyer County is indicated by
these recommendations; plant
peas to be turned under about
July Is, and apply three to five
tons of limestone to the acre.
Inoculate the ground and the
seed, and sow about twenty-five
pounds of seed to the acre.

of any amusement enterprise. And
word from the Ringing Brothers, who
are the directors of this gigantic super
circus. is to the effect that those who
attend the performances will witness
the greatest program ever presented
in America. This is likewise true of
the mammoth street parade, which
will positively take place showday
morning. the mammoth menagerie and
all else connected with this biggest of
all amusement institutions. The fam.

survey of both the great circuses and
merged the finest and best of each into
one. Hundreds upon hundreds of per-
formers will appear in the gigantic
main tent. There will be scores upon
scores of the cIeverest dumb actors. A
gorgeously costumed pageant Of stu

Great companies OF characters, repre-
senting the best-loved stories of fable
and nusery lore, will appear. There

co OPERATIVE SHIPPING
BENEFITS FARMERS.

Farmers of Decatur County
havu completed their first CO.
operative shipment of livestock,
and they are well satisfied with
results. The shipment was
made under supervision of Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent L. H. Hal
ton.
One carload was shipped to
Nashville, and one to ST. Louis.
The farmer received 80 cents a
hundred pounds more in St. Louis
than they did lat Nashville, lbut
the shrinkage was greater. Ex-
penses practically were the same.
Every COW that was shipped to
Nashville gained oAer the home
weight. One bull. however,
lost slightly.
No accurate idea of the not
profit over the local price, if the
cattle had been sold in Eecatur-
vile, could be had because of
the fact that there were no large
buffers in the county at the time.
Those men who purchase cattle.
do so only for the home market,
They naturally pay what Jat
cattle are woIth on the market,
but do not want the poorer grade;
consequently they are shipped.
Decatur County farmers are
greatly pleased with the work of
County Agent Halton, and of the
specialists from the Division of
Agricultural Extention, Univer-
sity of Tennessee.

ment voluntarily and is regarded
by the Publicity Directors as one
Of the clearest and most valuable
statements that they have re-
ceived from any quarters. Mr..
Seay says:
Personally, have Nothing
but words of commentator and |
praise for the work the ~" has
done. is doing and is planning to
do in the future. What the ''Y"
has meant to our cities and to
the army, it will mean to our
country districts. affording them
education thru the good literature
furnished, and other phases of
the educational program now
contemplated; social intercourse,
by bringing the people together
to hear lectures; and for religious
meetings, and for wholesome re-
creation and amusement in the
form of competitive games of
various kinds, good music, and
the many other advantages the
Association will be able to offer.
1.-The young people of the
country, like the younger gener-
alton of the cities, crave and de-
serve amusements which will in
a measure disturb the monotony
of every day life. Hence the Y,
M. c. AS. movement into the
rural sections. The fact that the
country districts lack the means
of amusing their young people in
the proper way is in large
measure responsible for their
migration to the towns and cities.
Il believe that the Y. M. G. A.
if established in a sufficient num-
Der of centers, will prove a po-
tent factor in solving this prob
lem of keeping the young people
of the country districts at home.
1t will be an important factor in
the Stay on the Farm, and the
Back to the Farm" movement.
Il hope the time is lot far
! distant when these Y. M. C. A.
! outfits will be scattered thruout
the length and breadth of our
country. There is no set of peo-
J pie under the sun who need help
ana encouragement more than
!, the breadmakers of our country,
and the countsy people will stand
in their own light if they do not
give all the assistance possible to
the campaign now being launch
ed in their benefit. If they can
be led to see the help that the Y.
M. C. A. can and will lead to the
advancement and progress of the
country districts, | am confident
that all support necessary. moral
and financial will be forthcom-
ng."
