MONTPELIER
City Council Takes No Action on Trac-
ton Co. Rate Matter.

A special meeting of Montpelier city
council took place last evening but no
action was taken on the matter of the
new rates to the traction company be
cause none of the employees of the
company were present to present the
matter formally to the council, the
Interpretation of the council being that
the statement made by its representa-
tives last week was not a formal prop
osition. The matter was left until the
next meeting. However, there was some
discussion about the matter in which
Alderman Yeti thought the committee
had fooled with the matter long
enough Alderman Bowers said that he
had asked for some new information.
Finances were discussed at some
length and each department was looked
over with the idea of having the clos
est supervision follow for the remain
der Of the year 1t is expected that
with close scrutiny of details, the coun-
ell will be able to carry work through
the rest of the year without dipping
into the $1,000 set aside for the month
Of February. The finance committee in
making its estimate has not allowed
certain income that It is known will
be derived but this will be used to
offset certain expenditures that it is
felt will be greater than is now esti-
mated.
Only three persons appeared in OPP
position to the assessment for dust
laying by use of water and oil. Peter
Madar and Charles Theriault objected
to paying for such on Jay street be-
cause they knew they had not either
and it was voted not to assess any
abutter on that street Rawson My
rick appeared, asking for reduction
on River street because this assess
ment is again unimproved land. The
assessment was refused one-half.
The sidewalks on River street and
Mather terrace was called to the street
committees attention. Because of the
lack of proper use Of the requisition
blanks in making purchases, the coun-
Gil instructed the heads of departments
to stop using blanket form OF requi-
sition supplies The mayor reported
that an estimate OF a retaining wall
on Mortified street was being obtained
by the civil engineer

A. Balance grains fed, with pas
turage, silage, roughage and concen-
trates.
5. Harvest crops with livestock in

6. Make best use of men, teams,
and implements.
Z. Grow higher crop yields to the
acre; use more fertilizer and better
tillage.
8. Increase fertility; grow clovers,

9. Save expenses; grow everything
possible at home.
10. Have a productive orchard, a
year-around garden, laying hens and
good cows.
II. Avoid waste everywhere; save
food, feed, labor end machinery.
II. Invest surplus earnings wisely.

Give small grains a regular place
in the rotation. Tennessee as whole
needs many more acres of small
grains for food, feed, winter pasture,
cover crops for the soil and nurse
crops with which to SOW meadows
and pastures. Properly balance the
crop rotation; have each year not
less than one-fifth of the cleared
farm lands in Gmell grains followed
by meadow and pasture. This does
not include woodlands, permanent
pastures and continuously cropped
bottom lands.
The average farm in lower East
Tennessee, on the red hills of the
Highland Rim, and in the northern
counties of West Tennessee will
double it's acreages of winter grains
as nurse crop and for grain pur-
poses before a proper balance is
reached. Mountain lands of East
Tennessee, gray soils of the Highland
Rim and cotton farms of lower West
Tennessee should buy machinery CO.
operatively and gradually increase
their acreages until they have sup
piled their home needs for food and
feed grains and have met the soils
demand for the seeding of meadow
and pasture crops. After food de-
mands are met, certain counties of
upper East Tennessee and the Cen
trail Basin which are growing ex-
tremly heavy acreages of small
grains, may well reduce until prop
er balance with pastures and other
crops is reached.

Should Do With Wheat.

A 20 per cent wheat increase in
the fall crop of 1918 was splendid
patriotic effort; it was also q good
thing for the soils fertility. The
worlds hunger must be satisfied /;
after that other small grains may
take the place of part of the wheat
but the total acreage of small grains
must be increased on farms not al
ready balanced.
Sow wheat following legumes such
as beans or peas, on tobacco lands,
on good lands where corn has been
removed early.
Prepare the soil as long as possible
before seeding time.
Carefully save the farm manures
and apply to wheat in winter and
early spring instead of saving it for
corn or other crops.
Lime the soil.
Phosphate literally GOO to 800
pounds to the acre. where needed.
Sow the best seed obtained from
the highest yielding fields.
Use the tanning mill to remove all
light seeds.
Use standard varieties; Fulcaster
and Stoner on uplands; Fultz, Early
May and Economist on fertile low
lands.
Sow wheat as early as the danger
of Hessian fly has passed.
Treat wheat seed for smut where
loss has occurred.

The Soldier.

He was a brave young man,
And he, like the others,
Did all he could,
And fought for his colors.
He helped run Kaiser Bill off his
throne
And put him on tho run.
He killed the Germans one by one,
That the French might have back
their homes.
He did all he could
To help win the war;
For it was liberty and loved ones
He was fighting for.
On, at last the war is won,
But the one / loved so we'll
Cannot come home,
For at the last he fell.
He helped to win victory,
He did we'll his part;
But oh, on the 18th of October
A bullet went straight thru his
heart.

That was so good and true,
Fought and bled and died
Fighting for the red, white and

World Must Be Fed.

Peace is at hand, and problems of
reconstruction demand the attention
of all the world. Until normal con-
ditions can be restored in Europe
the American farmer must put forth
continuous effort in food produc-
ton. The war disturbed our farm
operations, confronting us with ur-
gent emergency demands for food
products that had to be met under
increasing labor difficulties. Every
where the patriotic farmers of Amer
let met their problem. Our armies
and our allies were fed; our working
population at home was fed, but the
oven tenor of our farming was in
terrupted.
1t is time for careful reflection
and conservative action. Farm prod
ucts sell for more money than at any
time in our history. There will be
a strong temptation to speculate, to
plunge heavily in farm as in other
enterprises. Study tho situation.
Study the agricultural needs of the
country, and your own necessities.
The Tennessee Farm Program for
1919 is based on safe farming. 1t
seeks to increase the fertility of the
land while providing for increased
crop and livestock production. 1t has
in view varied lines of farming, pro-
viding different sources of revenue.
1t endeavors to establish proper
balance of cultivated and pasture
crops, and of livestock and food pro-
duction. 1t considers farm and house
hold needs es we'll as money returns.
1t should be studied carefully, having
in mind the experience and possible
equipment of him who would try to
follow the suggestions it's contains.

Killed In Action, But
Health Is Excellent

Hickman, KY, sFeb. ITO be Off
cially notified by the War Depart
ment of the death of ones son and
mourning him as dead, then to have
him walk in home looking fine and
well, and without any previous no.
tice is very unusual, but such was
the experience of j. c.. Butler, of this
county, when his son, Thomas c.
Butler arrived home.
Mr.. Butler had received notice
that his son was killed in action in
France on Sept "a. Being an official
notice, he naturally resigned himself
to the sorrow of the loss of his boy,
and so he could hardly believe his
eyes when the boy walked in in ex-
cellent health.
