OF DISEASE AMONG PURE

HOW TO ERADICATE DISEASES
Or. M. Jacobs, State Veterinarian,
Given ovation at Farmers institute
"Wednesday Nght-Tr'bute to Or.
Dorset.

That tuberculosis is more prevalent
among pure bred live stock than
among grade herds in Tennessee was
the startling disclosure made Wed.
nesday night by DR.. M. Jacobs, state
veterinarian, in an address before
the Middle Tennessee Farmers In
stitute. But he allayed any misinter-
probation Of his disclosure with the
assurance that the reason for this
Is that tuberculosis is more preva-
lent in the states from which pure
bred cattle are imported to Tennes-
see and therefore the diseased ami
mails are brought into the state, that
pure bred animals are no more sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis than the 9th
er kind. He took this fact for the
basis of his insistence that no pure
bred cattle be brought into Tennessee
without compliance with the 9o-day
retest regulation, which will prevent
the importation OF diseased animals.
Or. Jacobs was given an ovation
when he stepped upon the stage,
which he good naturedly accepted, he
said, as a request to please be BRIEF

the objectives Of the farmers on a
definite program pf betterment was
made feature of "Wednesday nights

Farmers Institut I'll w. A. Schoen-
field of the divis extension pre-.
senting the plan Ior such organiza-
tons. The count councils will paral.
lei chambers Of cdnmerce or CONNER
cial clubs of cities with similar func-
tion applied to rural life and affairs.
These councils are designed to get
the citizens OF all classes together for
the consideration of such problems
as better schools, better roads, i'm
proved health conditions and better
ment of all social hnd economic condi-
tions among far1sers.
One thing the pncils will not do

cies for the prod IS of the farm.
Mr.. schoenfeld bid that the coun-
ty councils would work for good
roads, longer and better schools and
better health on the farms. He said
tions is greater than in cities and that
of ill-health in rural sec
tions is greaer than in cities and that
the councils could bring into their
counties outside agencies to aid in
the suppression of epidemics or un-
sanitary conditions among the peO-
pie and also among the live stock.
Such councils, said Mr.. Schoenfeld,
are not new. They have been organ
lied effectively and efficiently for 10
or IL years in a number of states and
are being organized in Tennessee
After sufficient number of the coun-
ty councils are formed, they will be
united into district and state organ
izations. They are worth as much as
schools for educational work.
Mr.. Schoenfeld explained the meth
od of organization, beginning with a
of five or six leading farm
ers and business men directly inter-
ested in farming, followed by. a larg-
er conference and membership cam
paign in which every member would
be required to pay a small fee of 81,
the fee being charged on the theory
that nobody is interested in thing
that costs nothing. There would be
no salaried officials and the county
agricultural agent would act as ad-
wiser. The funds would be used I'M
projects undertaken by the
council, such as live stock sales,
health campaigns and good roads
work. There would be'a board of d.
rectors elected democratically from
all classes of farmers and this board
would elect the officers.
Blount county was held up as an
example of what could be done by a
county council of agriculture, 1t be-
ing declared that that county has be-
come famous throughout the north for
it's black cattle, because of the devel.
opment that thas been made there

THE BIG HOLIDAY TEADE.

This years holiday trade has dis tanced all records. Commercial re- ports mention a great deal of luxury buying. Musical instruments can't be produced fast enough. Diamonds have risen 100 per cent. Never has there been such a demand for ex- pensive articles" says one trade au- thority.
 The merchants would rather see 2 man put his money into a bank than spend it in their stores for something he could not afford But the greater part of the money so freely spent has been well used. Much of it has gone into substantial goods that will wear a long time.
 Many families that have things like pianos and phonographs have made their homes happier and their young folks more contented. The big volume of trade has helped many merchants strengthen their position and provide better service. And so while dep1Or- ing extravaganza, one may feel that the fall trade has brought many benefits to the community.
