you have my permission.
As have not written to you ii
a long time, will drop you a few
lines to let you know how ! an
getting along.
The life OF a soldier is a grea
thing if you don't weaken. | feel a:
though had done my bit towards
winning Of the war. We did moi
get a chance to 60 over the top but
we sure obeyed orders.
| think the 42nd Com. holds a!
good a record as any Com. in the
10th Engineers. and now that it !:
all over we are ready to come bach
as soon as possible.
We get plenty to eat three times
a day and our camp is one Of the
best in France from a sanitary
standpoint.
Our shacks are made OF slabs
lined with building paper and we
have real stoves to heat them.
| think that the Germans GOT
just what was coming to her, only
maybe not enough Of it.
We came over on the u. S. S.
President Lincoln which was sunk
on the return voyage. 1t was some
pleasure trip there was $500 men
cooped up on the ship for 16 days,
and every move an M. P. would
tell US you can't stand there" or
you cant do that" 1t was some
trip.
Lots Of the boys have a lot OF
Boche souvenirs and | have a few
myself.
Our hunks are make of one inch
boards with hay mattress and plenty
of cover with the exception Of 7
days when on pass. ! have not
slept on real bed since we landed
here 10 months ago.
We have a good bunch Of officers
and a good bunch of men. We en-
listed as a road and bridge battalion
and were as good an outfit for that
work as ever left the U. S. A.
1t is certainly a cinch that this
isno place for a Stacker, they prob
ably think that they will get our
girls and all the good jobs but we
will show them different when we
come home with the gold service
stripes sewed on our sleeves and
Mr.. Stacker will be as we say in the
army S. O. L.
The weather here for the last
three months has been just one
rain storm after another and now
once in while we have day when
it don't rain On those days it is
great to get up in the morning,
Lots Of rain but very little sickness.
Now that Tennessee is dry it may
be Of interest to you to know that
We can get all we want to drink
without sneaking behind the barn
to take shot of bootleg. How
does that sound to you people at
homer
Cant think Of anything more Of
interest, so will close with best
wishes to you all.
Sinceraly yours,

FINER
FARMING
By H. A. Powers.

Carl Edwards and Homer Joyner
say that the demand for soy beans
Is enormous this spring. There are
yet few hundred farmers that are
not awake
Are yon interested in making your
community better? II so get behind
at least one movement in the inter-
est Of better things. You can find
plenty of them, too most any where
in this county.
l.. s. Austin started to spray his
small home orchard last Thursday
at little after l p. m. About $3.50
he had the spray solution-self-
boiled lime sulphur and arsenate OF
lead-made up and applied to his
small peach orchard.
Wesley Essary has some spring
lambs which weigh from so to 80
pounds. Look up the lamb market
and think over the possibility for
money in the sheep business Not all
farmers can afford to keep sheep In
this county but there are many that
can and will now that there Is dog
law which provides for the payment
Of the value of sheep killed by dogs.
Did your neighbor grow any soy
beans last year? II he did and turned
his hogs on them 1t is pretty certain
that he will have more this year.
Every few days some one tells us
that they want to get few hogs
ready for that September market.
Hogs grown until August the 1st and
then turned in on corn and soy
beans will offer the best market for
the season and il will be hardly
possible to produce cheaper gains.
A. II. McCollum, Cane Greek, sowed
soy beans last year with a wheat
drill and did nat cultivate them.
He secured good yield of hay,
Soon after the hay was removed the
field was dlsced and let lie few
days. Then it was sown to wheat
II has been pastured lightly the past
winter. His prospects for wheat
crop are excellent. How many far
mers could have done the same but
would not?
We have had two men recently TO
tell us that they were securing un-
satisfactory results from feeding
tankage to hogs. This was the big-t
gest surprise that We have had In
some time. SO many men have told
us that they have made such good
money this winter with hogs we had
about concluded that everybody was
agreed that this proposition was a
$good thing" ]. F. Richardson was
not one of the above and he has been
feeding it for three years.
: e
VIII II pay to feed hogs at the
present prices OF corn? Here i.
what one farmer did. Shorts anC
cotton seed meal were bought to tn,
value of s32.55. The hogs would
have brought $3.50 a; s14 per hun
dred. The latter price was NOR,
than the market would have justified
any buyer paying at that time fol
pigs which weighed 100 pounds ant
less. He fed them from about tn,
middle of January until the eth o
March. He sold these hogs 10
slS932 The corn which he fed II
other words brought him s227.77
This farmer knows about how mucl
corn he fed sach day. He is pTstt.
certain that il does not exceed 10
bushels. How much per bushel dit
he get IL 1t was the latter amount
