HOW SHEEP AND WOOL ARE
HANDLED IN TENNESSEE

The sheep breeding business asspur
sued in Tennessee is, first, an early
market lamb proposition in the basin
and better rim land sections Of the
state; and, second, eve and wether
production business In the mountain
and plateau sections Of the state.
For early market lamb production,
the farmers buy the ewes from the
mountain and plateau sections West
ern range ewes and southern ewes
breed to mutton type rams to wean in
January, February, and March. Aim
to have bulk Of lamb crop come in
February. The tiOcks are wintered
principally on winter-grOwing cover
crops-wheat, rye, barley, winter oats,
and crimson clover, with some Of the
leguminous hays and little grain dur
ing the most severe part Of the winter.
The lambs are sold from the ewes in
June, and are mostly handled by tho
local stock dealers.
In some four or five counties Of the
state there are good, live, active CO.
operation livestock shipping ass0cia-
tons that are getting good results for
the farmers thru their shipping 0rgani-
cations. The wool is handled in much
the same manner as lambs. There are
few good registered fOcks Of the
mutton breeds Of sheep in the state.

Field Twenty Tractors.

Yes. tractors do pillow, and they DO
the work we'll. This was shown at
the tractor demonstration held in
Franklin county, Tennessee, April q
and "a, 1919.
This was the Arst county tractor
demonstration held In Tennessee, ac-
cording to the tractor manufacturers,
and others went 30 far as to say that
it was the first held in the country.
1t was distinct success, they say.
Eleven companies were represented
with something like twenty tractors.
A field of fifty acres was the scene of
the first work. Each tractor was al
lowed one hundred feet Of land clear
across the field. At IL 100 o'clock in
the morning the blowing began, and
even tho the noon hour was taken for
dinner, the field was completed by
S 100 o'clock. 1t was not level field
either, but the tractors went right
along at their task as Systematically
as if they had had level ground
Crowds came and went At no time
during the first day were there less
than 100 people on the grounds, and
many times there were more. The
county agent arranged for the event
and saw that the crowds were handled
with ease and to their satisfaction.
Twice was II necessary to postpone the
event because of rain, and some crit
icism was heard at the start because
of the delay. But when the event was
actually under way, there was no crit
icism Everybody was satisfied, and
the farmers of FRANKLIN county and
many from adjoining counties knew
what might be expected from a trac-
tor, where, without such close-at-
home event, they would never have
known.

FINELY GROUND LIMESTONE
Two Tons Of Ground Limestone to the

Some Farmers Use Heavier AppIiea-
ton Than This With Profit, Espe-

(By ]. G. McAmis, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee,
KnoXville.)

At meeting of representatives OF
various experiment stations from the
southeastern states, at Knoxville, Ten
nessee, April 1880, the question Of the
use Of lime on soils of Tennessee was
considered.
The agreement was unanimous that
the soils of the southeastern states
are seriously deficient in lime, so that
lining is essential to their most pro-
fitable development and permanent inn
provement
Suitable agricultural lime materials
are high calcium, magnetism and dolO-
mite limestone; also high grade oys-
ter shells and mari, together with the
burnt products Cor the chemical
equivalent Of such) of any Of these in
the amounts recommended.
The finer the limestone is ground, the
greater is its immediate availability
Limestone ground to pass thru ten

application Of two tons per acre.
Either very finely pulverized limestone
or burnt lime is recommended, where
an application of only few hundred
pounds per acre 10 to be made.
For general use an application OF ]
to 2 tons of ground limestone per acre,
or one-half that amount of burnt lime,
once in rotation of not more than five
years was recommended. For alfalfa
and permanent pasture, an initial APP
plication Of double these amounts
should be made.
Lime may safely be used at any
point In the ordinary farm rotation
without serious loss of the material.
If applied in connection with titled
crops, its mixture with the soil will be
insured The effects of lime are likely
to be in proportion to the thOrOughness
with which it is mixed with the soil
in which the crop roots develop.
Lining is most profitable in those
rotations in which legumes are promi
nent; but, over large areas in these
states, especially on the heavier types
Of soil, lining Is profitable for corn,
small grains, and grasses.
With soils poor in potash and phos-
phate, lining gives best results only
when supplemented by materials car
rying these constituents.

LLTE COIN CROP
A Few important POiuts in This
Connection

Moody says the corn crop in Carroll
county will be exceptionally late
this year. and it behooves US To
make the very best al our OppOr-
tunity to make the best possible
yield under the circumstances. 1t
will be well to bear in mind few
important points in this connec-
ton.
1. Don't get in hurry and
break ground too wet. Dry
weather following will do untold
damage to the land. Wait until
dry enough to work, then keep
surface narrowed to prevent bak-
ing if it seems too wet.
9. Plant a quick maturing var
ity of corn. A few men have some
of it in nearly every community.
The large-eared varieties with big
cobs will not have time to mature.
The smaller varieties may be
planted until the latter part of
June.
3. Plant good seed to a full
stand. 1t is too late to take chances
with poor seed or to replant after
a skippy stand. 1t is easier and
quicker to thin corn than to re-
plant it, so let's plant it thick.
4. Plant on a well-prepared
seed-bed. 1t pays to take time
for another diskiag or narrowing
to get rough ground in better
shape.
5. Use plenty of commercial
fertilizer. A crop planted late
needs to be pushed from the start.
Good fertilizer will do this. Fer
tilizer prices have not increased in
proportion to the price of corn. 1t
will pay we'll to use it literally |
this year. Remember on land with
a red clay soil or subsoil we need
very little potash, but on all of il
we need phosphorus. Sixteen per
cent acid phosphate is fine for
most Carroll county soils, with
about 2 per cent nitrogen added
on thin land. A fertilizer analAz
ing about IL 2 0 is fine for corn on
medium thin land. A side appIi
cation when corn ia about a foot
high or more is very profitable,
1t is easy to run the fertilizer drill
close along one side of each row
lust after a shovel cultivation at
his time. This is not practiced
n Carroll county very much now;
)ut it will pay especially we'll this
year. 1t has proved profitable all
over the south,
6. Plant the land good first, as
asst as it gets dry. Perhaps we
won't get in a full crop, then it is
more profitable to cultivate the
more productive land and let the
hiuner land, if any, lie idle.
Z. We must not forget that we
AN grow a lot of feed from soy
Deans. They stand extreme wet
weather. or extreme drought better
han corn. Plant in narrow rows,
ross harrow when they are we'll
Enlightened up and beginning to
row off we'll, cultivate once or
vice, leave level and let grass
row up with them and NOV for
ay when the beans are forming
hey yield rich hay with which
title corn is needed.
s. Save time in cultivation by
ross narrowing small stuff with
teel section harrow. Every work

8. There is no occasion for IN. t
