TWELVE COUNTY COUNCILS
ARE BEING ORGANIZED

County Councils of Agriculture are
being organized in twelve counties in
Tennessee, and within twelve months
it is anticipated that at least thirty
will be completed.
Organization of such councils is be-
ing fostered by the Division of Agri-
cultural Extension, University of
Tennessee. Blount county complet-
ed it's organization about three
months ago, and has already held a
big get-together picnic, and plans a
big cattle sale, October / at Mary
vile.
Duties of the council will be to
promote interests of rural people IN
the same way that chamber of COM
merce promotes interests of city.
The whole duty of the council is to
do just the needed things which anti
cipate betterment for the people. who
live in the country. Plan of organi-
zation is simple. No one draws a
salary, the county agricultural agent
acting in an advisory capacity for the
unit. Money received from member
ships generally is used with which to
pay for an office, which makes place
for the farmers to meet when they
come to town.

trolls 1900 acres of land, in discussing
these questions at the West Tenn
essee Farmers Institute said that the
first move is for the landlord. He
speaks from experience. He began
by making a better home for his
tenants. Good tenants live in good
houses. He heightened the term of
leases, and required his tenants to
plant winter crops as we'll as summer,
to grow pastures as well as cultivated
crops. He promised his tenants they
would be paid for permanent i'm
provements made if the leases should
be Unexpectedly terminated. He
testifes to the results. His old ten
ants became better satisfied, their
winter crops held them from one sea-
son to another, and they stayed lons
err except that some of them bought
farms for themselves. He was able
to replace those moved by others who

was not only good business for the
tenant, landlord, and community, but
was simply giving a partner square
deal.
H. S. johnson of Henderson county
has been tenant on one farm several
years. He presented the tenants
view point and told of few things
that he had done. He did not claim
to have done any marvellous things
on this farm. He did only those
things that every tenant could and
ought to do, but most of them had
not. He had sown land to pasture,
he kept some livestock, he planted
some winter grain crops, he built
fences, and ditched the land. He i'm
proved the home. He did these things
because he knew that he could stay
on theafarm for a long period of
time, and that he, as we'll as the land
owner, would get the benefit. Not
all tenants are willing to take this
view, he said, but those who are try
ing to make better living for them
selves, and for the landlord, are will
ing to make improvements and do
good farming if given an opportunity.
Frank Hayden, Memphis banker
and a member of the agricultural
committee of the State bankers as
ISOLATION, also took leading part in
this discussion. Mr.. Hayden stated
that the bankers are concentrating
their thought and effort in solution
of the tenant question. 1t is a part
of their program for the year to help
both the landlord and the tenant in
any way they can to bring about
better lease system. They stand
solid for any rental system which will

System Will Ruin Farmers"

Are you interested in farming-the
production of food and clothing? If
you are, then you must be interested
in the tenant question, the kind of
leases, the effect on the soil, the
crops, and the livestock. Nearly half
of the land in Tennessee is farmeo
by tenants. Nearly every organiza-
ton, commercial as well as education
al, is thinking in terms of better
tenant system. They realize now
that it is live question, not only for
the farmer, but for the banker, mer-
chant, and in fact every other citizen.
1t is life and death question TO the
soil, the silent partner in the whole
business.
Why is tenancy growing so rapidly,
and is it healthy growth? Why do
tenant farms produce less than farms
operated by owners? Why do nearly
half of the tenants move every year
from one farm to another? Is it
possible to have an efficient farm
system under these conditions? What
are the steps necessary to remedy the

buyer may desire. According to the
committee in charge of arrangements,
such a sale affords an excellent OPP
portunity for individual feeders to
come to place where lot of cattle
will be assembled, buy direct from
the producer and see what they are
buying. 1t is thought that this num-
Der, with variation in breed and
weight, will make it possible for a
prospective feeder to secure just
what he wants.
Blount county is one of the best
cattle counties in Tennessee. On &C
count of its many purebred herds and
the high "grade" cattle raised, and
sold as feeders, it has established a
wide reputation turnout the south.
Every year men desiring cattle to
feed for the market come here from
many parts of the country to visit In
dividual farmers and to purchase for
feed lots.

"LET THE HOGS DO THE WORK

B. ]. Wade, practical farmer and
banker of Rives, Tennessee, is a
strong believer in letting the hogs do
the work" of gathering corn. He says
that he turns his animals on his corn
field when the grains reach the
dough stage, and sits back and
watches them grow.
He says further, however, that a
small group of hogs should not be
turned on big field, especially at the
season just mentioned. Hogs are
greedy animals" he said, "and will
not be content to eat all of each
pulled down ear. They will continue
to go after new ears, while ones from
which they previously have taken
bites will sour and decay from effects
of sun, and RAIN"
He urges the planting of soy beans
in the row with corn to make more
balanced ration" "The beans will
yield great deal more in food value
than they will prevent the corn from
making" he said. They will save
one bushel out of five in this way.
AS the season progresses, greater
number of hogs can be turned on
field he explained, for the simple rea-
son that grains of corn have further
matured, and will not "sour" so
quickly if exposed. 'If the hogs are
tearing down too many of the ears,
the grains of which may go to waste,
you can make them clean up, by
gathering the ears still standing.
"You should not force fat hogs to
hunt for scattering grains, though"

APPLE JUICE BECOMES
NATIONAL BEVERAGE

New York, Nov. 26.-Prohibition
has bred national thirst for cider,
so irresistible that apple juice
promises to become the great Amer
lean drink, according to DIR. Eugene
Fl. Porter, state commissioner OF
food and markets.
But, says DR.. Porter, the supply is
small. The present crop of cider
apples is about one-third that of
former years and the big dealers
are scrambling to get enough to sup
ply their customers"
Much has been written and said
OF hard cider" he says, ''but in most
cases it has been soft cider wearing
VOLTS pelt Hard cider with a
natural kick is difficult to make
and more difficult to keep"
He adds that seeking consola-
ton in yeast-treated cider is unwise
as its effects on the drinker are far
from salutary."

over the counter in New Orleans
Wednesday night after Federal

Less than an hour after Judge
Foster had enjoined federal author
tiles from interfering with the sale
of bonded whiskies in compliance
with the petition of the Herman
Lesser Liquor company, barrooms
we're serving liquor in steadily varied

Later, however, it will be possible
to obtain practically all of the widely

taurants served claret with dinners.
Judge Foster, in granting the in
junction, ruled that the war came to
an official end when congress ad-
journed recently without rejecting
the peace treaty with Germany. He
maintained that when President
Wilson vetoed the Volstead war
time prohibition enforcement bill
October 2S the president declared
the army and navy forces demobi

announced that should they combine
to charge high prices for drinks
they would be prosecuted for proh-'
