Will Teach Budding.
Farmers HOW To
: Work Machinery

Mississippi A, & college at Stark
vile, sets a precedent for the nation
with the first course in junior farm
mechanics which has ever been plan
ned in the United States The course
will be given from Aug II TO o. ac-
eording to information received by the
Chamber Of Commerce Farm bureau,
from c. A. Cobb, assistant director OF
extension, of the Mississippi college.
The course will be given for corn and
pig clubs and rural community club
boys and Is designed to teach them the
fundamental principles of modern farm
equip> ,ent and it's care ana manage
ment, 1t will consist in instruction in
tieing knots and splicing rope, and In
handling and caring for plows, harrows,
packers, pulverizers, planters, culti-
vators, haying machinery, fertilizlne
machinery, gas engines, engine trim
ing, miscellaneous gas engine WORK
tractor, fencing and belt lacing
This is all preliminary, Mr.. Cobb
states, to a better farm implement
drive that the entire extension depart
ment is planning to stage in the fall
mo need is more apparent at the
present hour than that for modern farm
machinery" declares Mr.. Cobb. Many
of our people, because OF lack of train
ing and lack of familiarity with these
machines have been prevented from
even trying them. As one of our boys
stated 1t they are bluffed Shortage
of labor, however, demands that ma
chinery be substituted for labor OF
else we will not be able to progress as
rapidly as we should to keep up with
the times.'

today by members Of the Nashville
citizens committee to welcome soldiers
and sailors, seeking to compel the
state to pay 10 the committee the sum
of S12500, a. propriated by the gem
eral assembly. The comptroller re-
fused payment of the full amount ten
dering the sum Of $4,000 claiming that
the appropriation was made contingent
on the raising of a certain sum by the
citizens of Nashville. The REALTORS
claim and show that no contingencies
were placed on the original appropria
tion as passed but that certain pro-
visos had been attached when the sum
was included In the general appropria-
tion bill unknown to the REALTORS who
had made certain heavy expenditures
for the reception of the Tennessee
units, above and beyond what had
been subscribed by local citizens In
anticipation OF the receipt of the state's
part of the money. The suit Is brought

ment, today over the league of nations,
