TENNESSEE AT

Franklin County Steers Bring

stock Market at St. Louis
STOCK SOLD THRU ASSOCIATION
Other Tennessee Counties Are Selling
Livestock in Same Way and Reaping
a Part of Benefits that Should Come
to the State from Such Methods.

Tennessee beeves topped the steer
trade in st. Louis one day in March.
Several c%onsignments arrived from
that state, the best being a drove of
1,1S3-pound $16.55 Shorthorn and An
gus, fed by j. o. Gill, and shipped
through the Franklin County livestock
association. Mr.. Gill is banker and
farmer, prominent in his part of the
state and a strong advocate of live
stock in connection with farming op-
erations. He reported he had these
steers on feed for 80 days on a ration
of corn, %cottonseed meal, and molasses
feed with silage. They made an aver
age gain of 3 pounds daily while in
the lots and in the last Is days put
on flesh at the rate of 4 pounds daily.
They originated in that county as
feeders and nearly doubled first cost
when they sold here today.
J.. 1. Kennedy, also OF Franklin
county, marketed cattle on the same
day at a good figure. Mr.. Kennedy is
a farmer and extensive shipper. He
says stock wintered much better than
1t did a year ago.
Franklin county was formerly pretty
much devoted to wheat growing but of
late years farmers have gone in more
for corn and livestock and are doing
better by reason of the change. They
raise fine crimson Glove in that sec
ton, as fine as can be f,s d anywhere.

School teachers throughout the
country are demanding increased
salaries and there seems to be a
sentiment growing favorable to
their demands. That the teach
err is not paid a salary commen-
surate with the profession cannot
be disputed. No profession or
calling so important has ever
been looked upon as lightly as
that of teaching the children.
But the future destiny of the
country rests upon the boys and
girls now in school; and the
teacher is the most prominent fig
ure in preparing them for the
task before them. With such re-
sponsibilities resting upon them,
the teachers should be well paid.
Pay them for what they do and
for the responsibilities they as
sumo. 1t has always been true
that when a state or a county
asks money for educational pur
poses a howl has gone up to the
effect that the schools are failures
that the "peepuls' money is being
wasted on inefficient teachers.
But it never occurs to these fell
lows, perhaps, that they get out
of anything no more than is put
into it. Better school buildings
and better salaries mean more
efficient teachers; and more eff
cient teachers mean a happier PEG
pie, a Weather nation and a bet
ter citizenship.
But conditions will not improve
until the people asa whole get be
hind school authorities and law
makers. Conditions in Tennes-
see, and in Granger county, will
not improve until the citizenship
becomes aroused to the necessity
for increased appropriations for
schools. The per centage of illit-
eracy in Tennessee, and in Grain
ger county, will not be decreased
until the people spend less for lux
uries and more for education.
Within the last ten years TenneS-
see has spent more money for au-
tomobiles than she has on school
buildings in forty years! Not
counting anything for expenses,
it will take a Granger county
school teacher two years to ac-
cumulate enough money to buy
a Ford. Raise her salary. She
deserves it. Place her above the
financial horizon of a chicken
thief and a boot-leggar. 1t will
pay. Try it.

USE GARDEN ALL the TIME

knoXvllle.)
Succession cropping keeps the
ground occupied all the time. As soon
as one crop natures, harvest it, pre-
pare the soil thoroughly and plant an
other.
BY continuous planting the garden
can be made to produce two or three
time as much as where only a spring
garden is planted. A garden well
cared for turnout the year does not
let weeds ripen their seeds; after a
period of several years the control of
weeds in the garden becomes relative
ly easy.
Very liberal applications of manure
should be made. Manure not only
supplies plant food, but greatly in
creases the moisture-holding capacity
of the soil. Thirty tons of manure
per acre will pay for itself in the re-
turns from the garden. If manur in
such large amounts is not available,
use 10 to IL tons of manure and sup
plement with 800 to 1000 pounds of
high-grade fertilizer.
Careful cultivation will a V mois-
ture. Careful cultivation is frequent,
once a week level, no ridges, hills or
beds; and shallow, an inch or two in
depth.
Plant just enough Of each vegetable
at one time to supply the demands,
and plant often. In this way, a pro-
duct will be coming out turnout

class condition for. use. Do not follow
root crops with root crops, leaf crops
with leaf crops, OF fruit crops with
fruit crops. Do not follow a crop with
n of the same family. They take
about the same food from the soil, and
are subject to attack by the same in
sects and diseases. Crops with deep
root system should follows those with

(By j. G. McAmis, Division of Exten.

KnOXville.)
At a meeting of representatives of
various experiment stations from the
southeastern states, at Knoxville, Ten
nessee, April 29-30, the question of the
use of lime on soils of Tennessee was
considered.
The agreement was unanimous that
the soils Of the southeastern states
are seriously deficient in lime, so that
Inning is essential to their most pro
fitable development and permanent i'm
provement.
Suitable agricultural lime materials
are high calcium, magnetism and dOlo-
mite limestone also high grade oys-
ter shells and mari, together with the
burnt products (or the chemical
equivalent of such) of any Of these in
the amounts recommended.
The finer the limestone is ground, the
greater is its immediate availability.
Limestone ground to pass thru a ten
mesh screen, all finer particles includ-
ed, is recommended for the common
application of two tons per acre.
Either very finely pulverized limestone
or burnt lime is recommended, where
an application of only a few hundred
pounds per acre is to be made.
For general use an application of /
to 2 tons of ground limestone per acre,
nr onp-half tina amount IF hurnt lime.
once in rotation of not more than five
years was recommended. For alfalfa
and permanent pasture, ar initial APP
plication of double these amounts
should be made.
Lime may safely be used 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 likely
to be in proportion to the t~horoughness
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 promi-
nent; but, over large areas in these
| states, especially on the heavier types
of soil, lining is profitable for corn,
small grains, and grasses.
With soils poor in potash and phos-
phate, lining gives best results only
when supplemented by materials car
rying these constituents.

In addition to organizing Fair
Association 1t is proposed to also or
ganize horse racing association.
In this connection, J. N. Wyman

respondence with the Kentucky

to how q modern race track should
be built.
Mr.. Wyman has just received all
the data and necessary informatio,s
on this project needed, and 1t Is at
the disposal of an organization which
may wish to take the matter In hand.
Mr.. Wyman will turn over his 20
acre tract In the northeast end Of
town for the purposes indicated, at
the same price he paid for 1t two
years ago, and throw of interest and.
taxes paid. This we consider very
liberal offer, In fact, extremely 30,
when he stands ready to take stock
In the combined fair and racing asso-
citation as pay for his land, the old

Now, all ye gentlemen Of enter

Gossard Stock Show And Accident


Wednesdays Craig Courier says OF
the above event:
THE live stock fair given by the
Gossard Breeding Estates is In full
swing today, although for time
Sunday 1t looked rs though the event
would have to be indefinitely post
poned because of a wreck on the
Motfat railroad. The display, es-
pecislly Of horses, Is pronounced the
finest ever shown In Northwestern
Colorado and while there have been
many larger In the state, there has
been nothing finer.
"A palace stock car loaded with
choice Percheron horses shipped from
the Gossard farm at Preston, Kan,
left the track near Antelope, turning
on its side In the ditch. 1t is almost a
miracle that more Of the animals
were not seriously Injured but as 1t
was only one, a prize winning mare,
is considered a total loss. She was
taken back to Denver In charge OF Il
veterinary surgeon, who stated that
there was small chance for recovery.
Practically all the mares were more
or less damaged, especially In the
hooks, but time will perhaps make
them about the same as before. The
stations show little effects Of the
shaking they underwent"
