Berea is the best school in the
South, and is doing the greatest
work for the young people of our
country of any college of its kind.
We have many great Oppor-
tunities and advantages here, that
other students Of other colleges d.
not have.
Any course Of study that any
one could wish TO take is taught
here. There are five departments:
College, Academy, Normal Founda-
ton and Vocational. In the Voca-
tional department, Business courses,
Home Science courses, Agricultural
courses, and all kinds Of trade
courses are taught also.
Berea is not an expensive school.
In fact il is the cheapest school in
the country. Every one has a
chance TO work a part Of his way
II you do not feel able TO pay your
expenses you can be a half day
student. The half day students
work half Of the day and go 10
school the other half. They pay
all Of their expenses, and have time
TO take several studies in school. Oh
course il takes longer 10 go through
school if you work your way
through, but any boy or girl who is
ambitious will do il rather than
stay out Of school.
We have plenty 70 amusements

he believed needed most TO be done
first. This was TO bring together

lional and the religious forces Mt
work in the field, and inform the
leaders Of the real needs Of the
more destitute sections as he saw
them. lie knew in large way
what some Of us have long known
in n less degree, that the work Of
developing the splendid human re-
sources Of the mountains can never
be done by any one institution or
one dcnominational body. He also
knew that a great deal Of the cifor:
spent in many educational projects
is wasted. He did not feel free to
tell church boards so, for church
boards like the rest Of us are little
sensitive about their favorite en-
tcrprises, but he did inform them
indirectly and pointed the way to
more effective work and more far
reaching service.
In order to carry forward this
work OF instructing the leaders and
focusing attention upon first needs
and effective remedies he organized
the Mountain Conference which
held annual sessions at Knoxville.
IN these meetings were gathered
most Of the leading social and re-
lgious workers among the noun
tains and also many distinguished
people from elsewhere who are
especially Interested IN the de-
Velopment Of the Highlands. Peo-
pie talked Of their common prob
lens. exchanged ideas and got ac-

commended all for the good they
are doing. His infinite tact and
patience and sympathetic interest
won the confidence Of the confer
cnce people, the people Of the hills
and the constructive educators and
social workers Of the country. He
knew no creed except practical SER
vice, and worked with all men for
bringing the Kingdom nearer to the
doors Of the mountain homes.

JOHN c. CAMPBELL DIES

News recently reached here OF
the death of John G.. Campbell, sec
rotary of the Southern Highland
Division Of the Russell Sage Foun-
dalion. The cause was heart fail
ure. His death occurred at Hotel
Latham, New York, while he was IN
the city on business connected with
his work in the Southern High
lands.
His death is a distinct loss to the
people Of the mountains, and even
to the entire South. II removes
from active service one of the most
farsightcd, constructive social
engineers Of the day.
Mr.. Campbell was very great
friend to people Of the Southern
Highlands. More than a dozen
years ago he began his work in the
mountains as special student of
conditions and needs, and organizer
of constructive welfare forces, and
continued this work 10 the end.
The work was Of his own choosing.
He loved the highland people AMI
saw great possibilities of growth
and development in them. To him
was given more than TO most men
the power and the desire to eVal-
uate properly the mountains ana
the mountain folk. He never
thought of the people Of the High
lands as being in class to them
selves. He thought and spoke OF
them as an integral and very i'm
portant portion of the American
people. To him no man or woman
was ever a mere "mountaineer.
They we're all southerners, Ameri-
cans. comrades in citizenship and
national development.
He never exploited the land or
the people. In his survey OF con-
ditions among the mountains, a
task which began over twelve years
ago. he travelled thousands of miles
nv rail. wagon. horse, and even on
foot. visiting schools, villages
homes of all classes, talking with
all sorts Of people and sharing the
life of all classes in order to learn
what life among the rich and the
poor really is. He was not looking
for material for books or magazine
articles. but was searching for the
truth about things mountain that
he might tell others the truth an
be helpful to those who need help
ful directing. His speech was not
characterized by quotations from
the speech Of unlettered folk. He
appreciated the simplicity and di-
rcctness Of the language of the I'M
educated class, but he did not use
his knowledge Of quaint phrases to
make merry with his friends. He
did often laugh at the foolish mis-
conception which so many people
have of the life Of the highland
people.
On all his trips OF investigation
he was accompanied by Mrs. Camp
bell whose interest in the work
and the people and whose knowledge
Of real life among the hills was no,
excelled by his own.
When he had spent some years
studying the life Of the people and
the agencies at work among them
he set about doing the thing that

Harrow and Cultivate

HdTTOW
Every practical farmer realizes
the Importance of killing weeds and
grass coming in the young crops
during May. II is well-known
fact that if the crops can be Kept
clean during this month they stand
a much better chance of producing
maximum yields - also that the
later civilizations will be less dill
ncult. Nothing will accomplish so
much in cleaning the land and cul-
tivatng the growing crop as the
section harrow and light cultivator.
II you want TO be sure Of a tull
crop at the least expense use the
harrow freely, even if it requires a
little extra high-priced help. 1t Is
sure TO pay in the long run.
Time to Plant Soy Beans and
Cowpeas
Although soy beans and cowpeas
may be sown during a period from
early spring until midsummer the
time of planting depends largely on
the latitude and the use TO be made
Of the crop. As a main grain or
hay the best time for planting L,
about the same as for corn. or when
the ground has become thoroughly
warm. The plants will then start
quickly and make a rapid growth.
The plants grow slowly in cool
weather, and ordinarily there is M
advantage in planting earlier than
corn. Experiments have shown that
the soy bean may be planted earlier
than the cowpea, being able to
withstand more cold in the early
spring. For pasture. green manure,
soiling. or even for hay crop,
both the soy bean and the cOwpea
may be sown as late as July 1.
Care of the Pigs
Observations indicate that in
many of the Southern States too
many hog raisers follow the prac-
tice Of weaving their pigs too
young. In many localities it is
found that they are weaving them
at the age of five and six weeks.
There is no better or cheaper feed
for the young growing pig than its
mothers milk, and hog growers
should take advantage of this feed
to the greatest extent possible. This
can be best accomplished by feed
ing the sow everything she will eat
during the sucking period and not
weaving the pigs until they arc ut
least ten weeks old. 1t is preferable
TO have them nurse the sow longer
probably until she would wean
them herself.
IL is realized that under certain
conditions this plan cannot be fol-
lowed, but it is quite possible that il
could be followed to a much
greater extent than it is in many
instances. Before the pigs are
weaned they should have access to
a self feeder filled with corn, some
good protein feed. such as tankage,
fish meal, shorts, middlings, or
ground oilcake.
Best results in hog growing are
going to be obtained by pushing the
pig to the greatest extent possible
from the time il is born until he is
driven over the scales. Never let
the hog lose his pig fat. Proper
feeding and care is the only way
this can be accomplished.
Hitch En- UP Right
Now that hot weather will soon
be here, il is important that teams
be hitched up with care. A little
thought and care in hitching to
pillow, harrow or culitvator will save
many a sore shoulder or bacF
which might be source of trouble

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE
Conducted by Mr. Farm Demonstration and Special
investigator"

See that the line OF draft makes
the pull come from the names and
not from a badly placed backband
u is also important that animals
are not overloaded during the first
hot weather. Watch your animals
closely to see how heavily they
have TO 60 against their collars and
II necessary put another animal in
the team.
Bury Them Deep
Buzzard or dogs will soon dispose
of a dead hog at this season Of the
year: but they will carry infection
to all portions Of the surrounding
country. A dead hog is dangerous
to all the other hogs on the same
farm and 90 every hog in the state
The College Of Agriculture at
Lexington recommends that all dead
animals should be thoroughly burn
ed or buried deep. As burning a
body until only the ashes remain
is a difficult matter, burying IL
much simpler. However, the farm
err should remember that a shallow
covering Of earth will not keep dogs
from the dead body At least four
feet of earth should cover the deal
animal after a liberal supply Of
uuicklime has been sprinkled over
the carcass.
Preserving Eggs in Water Glass
A good method for the preserva-
ton OF eggs is the use of water
glass or sodium silicate. If the
price of water glass Sodium sill
cate) is about thirty cents a quart
eggs may be preserved at a cost OF
approximately two cents a dozen.
10 is not desirable TO use the water
glass solution second time.
Use one quart of silicate to nine
quarts of water that has been boil
ed and cooled. Place the mixture
il, five gallon crock or jar. This
will be sufficient to preserve fifteen
dozen eggs and will serve as a guide
for the quantity needed to preserve
larger numbers OF eggs.
4. Select a five-gallOn crock and
clean it thoroughly, after which it
cry.
2. Heat a quantity of water to
boiling point and allow it TO cool.
3. When cool, measure out nine
quarts of water, place it in the
crock, and add one quart of sodium
silicate, stirring the mixture thor
oughly.
1. The eggs should be placed in
the solution. II sufficient eggs are
not obtainable when the solution Is
first made, additional eggs may be
added from time to time. Be very
careful to allow at least two inches
Of the solution TO cover the eggs at
all times.
5. Place the crock containing the
preserved eggs in a cool, dry place
we'll covered TO prevent evapora-
ticn. Waxed paper covered over
ard tied around the top Of the crock
will answer this purpose.
