Chapel Hill Cooperative Creamery ex-
hibit arrived in bad condition on &C
count of warm weather. All of the
seven cheese factories, five of which
are in Johnson county, had exhibits.
"This was the finest dairy show
that has ever been given in the
United States" says c.. A. Hutton,
dairy specialist with the Division of
Agricultural Extension, University of
Tennessee, "and Tennessee, it is not,
sent the greatest number of visitors
of any southern state. Thirty-five
men, most of whom were from Middle
and West Tennessee, were there"
The Southern exhibit of cheese
which was prominently displayed in
the front of the large dairy products
building, attracted a great deal Of at
tention, especially from those who
had no knowledge that this com
modify was being manufactured any
where except in the northern part Of
the country. Mr.. Hutton is greatly
pleased with the splendid advertising
that southern manufacturers received
thru the display. He is also pleased
with the creamery exhibit, altho it
was generally known, on account of
previous exhibits, that Tennessee pro-
duces much fine cream and butter.

LAMB VS..

Lamb meat altho almost as edible
as chicken has not been used a great
deal by housewives. One reason has
been that the price of lamb was on
siderably higher than chicken. Mar
ket prices of the two are about equal
now however, and many experts on
meat flavors and other values, urge
thatmore lamb be used.
The price of lamb is around fifteen
cents a pound, live weight. This in
sures that the dressed meat ordinarily
does not cost more than twenty-five
cents a pound, a very reasonable
price considering the quality of the
meat.
Farm killed lamb often exceeds in
quality that which is to be bought
from the butcher, because of the fact
that a slow demand for the meat
compels the butcher to keep it so long
that it loses freshness and flavor.
Mutton is another meat that gen
orally is unappreciated, and for this
reason many farmers send their ewes
to market when they are no longer
useful in the herd. Such animals
can be made to produce excellent
meat if they are fattened rapidly, and
if the meat is prepared as mutton and
not as lamb. If the ewes are slaugh-
tered while they are thin the meat is
tough and unsavory. Present prices
should make both of these meats
staple articles of diet.

made money by saving the commits
sion that they would have paid to a
dealer, had the load been sold to a
local man.
G. C. Wright, county agent of
Lawrence county, has assisted the
farmers in cooperative shipment of
livestock, and in making purchases of
farm supplies. They have arranged
for the cooperative purchase of 1900
bushels of soy beans for $3.50 a
bushel, against S.. a bushel on the
local arket. They will purchase Is
bushels of crimson clover seed at a
saving of SO. a bushel, and 200 bush
els of rye at a saving of $0.72 a
bushel. Thus they will effect a saw
ing of $3,605.
From numerous sections of the
state come reports of increased net
returns from cooperative sales, and
savings in purchases. The coopera-
tive plan of buying and selling is as
profitable to farmers as cooperation
in the conduct of schools, churches,
and other recognized community

ARE SOLDIERS GOING
BACK TO THE FARMS

Fifty-siX county agricultural
agents, who are in daily touch with
the farmers in all sections of Tenn
essee, were asked to investigate and
report on the following question
"To what extent have the farmers
been benefited by the return from
military service of men enlisted or
drafted from the farms?" In almost
every case their replies have brought
out the fact that most of the boys are
again taking up farming on the same
farms they lett when they wenSH rto
the army. The thing that misled so
many people was the fact that the
boys do not want to go to work i'm
mediately after they return, but want
a few weeks to visit around and get
settled again. This applies especial
ly to boys who have been overseas. 1t
seems that it takes them about three
months to get over that "restless
feeling" Also some of them return
ed during the winter months when OPP
portunities were not SO abundant On
farms as they become later.
Boys whose fathers are farm own
ers are returning to farming in very
large numbers. Our reports indicate
that almost all of these boys have
again taken up work on the farms.
Many of those who worked as hired
hands on farms have also taken up
farm work again, but the proportion
is not nearly so large as that of the
former class. There is some tenden-

LIME, LIME, LIME

Experiment station directors are
unanimously of the opinion that lime
is greatly needed on the FARMS of
Tennessee and other southeastern
states.
They agree on many points which
are as follows:
Soils are seriously deficient in lime,
so that lime is essential to their most
profitable developent and permanent
improvement.
Suitable agricultural lime materials
are high grade calcium and magnesia
limestone; also oyster shells, and
high grade mari, together with the
burnt products (or the chemical
equivalents of such) of any of these
in the amount recommended.
The finer the limestone is ground
the greater is it's immediate avail
ability. Limestone ground to pass
thru a ten-mesh screen, all finer pro-
ducts included, is recommended for
the common application of two tons
to the acre. Either very finely pull
verified limestone or burnt lime is
recommended, where an application
of a few hundred pounds to the acre
is to be made.
IOI SClCId al use, OHS w CWO LOlS VI
ground limestone to the acre should
be applied, or one-half of that
amount of burnt lime, once in a rota-
ton of not more than five years. Fol
alfalfa and permanent pastures, an
application of double this amount
should be made.
Lime may be used safely 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 in p
ton to the thoroness 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
prominent; but over large areas in
these states, especially on heavier
types of soil, lining is profitable for
corn, small grains, and grasse.
With oil poor in potash and phos-
phorous, lining gives best results on
ly when supplemented by materials
carrying these constituents.

cy for the hired class to go to north
ern factories to work.
A fact that is noted in some of our
reports is that the boys who did not
get overseas are able to get down to
work much more quickly than are
those who were on the firing line.
This, however, is to be expected.
Many of the boys who were in the
camps in this country are now going
to work again with but little delay
after being released.
There is no decided movement of
soldiers who were not farmers be-
fore entering the army to take up
farming. We have an occasional
instance of this, but in general they
are not interested in farm work. A
very large number of this class are
seeking clerical positions in the
towns and cities. Most of them say
point blank that they do not want a
position on a farm. A few will con-

turn it down. And farm owners, of
