Unlimited Dairying Possibilities
And that's the sort of breeders
we have here" remarked County
Agent Dooley as We walked about
that field. Mr.. Duncan is one of
the best judges of livestock in Tenn
essee, but along with it he's a good
judge of soils, and soil management
is just as much of a speciality with
him as is herd management. The
two together mean livestock supre-
macy"
Beginning with a few cows of pure
ored Angus some five years ago, to-
day Blount County has seventy
breeders. There are now $50 regis
tered females in the county and
more pure-bred registered Angus
than in any county south of the Ohio
River! And Blount County has
more than 500 silos-a record which
gives it the reputation of being the
first silo county in the state
Though Angus predominant in this
county and undoubtedly will con-
tinue to do SO, it does not follow that
the Angus predominates in East
Tennessee's scheme for advancing the
pure-bred. AS matter of fact it is
likely enough that taken by and
large, the Shorthorns outnumber the
Angus in this region. But Blount
County is typical of the progress
many of these counties are making,
and for that reason | have dwelt up
on its status at length.
The basic argument of East Tenn
essee breeders, bankers and county
agents for putting in more and more
pure-bredS is that these will do better
IN cheap, rough land than the scrubs.
Breeders and agents alike are de-

,pring, grazed until fall, then fed
through the winter on ensilage, cot
'onseed meal and hay, and turned on
the market for top prices. Sale ami
mails, however, are fed a bit more
freely.
Dairying has unlimited possibilities
in this country, but in some sections
behind beef raising. One chief rea-
son for this is that the country is
pre-eminently beef country and for
scores of years the farmers have
been sending their scrubs to the hills
and taking them off in the fall by a
sort of rule-of- thumb custom.
But in Blount county, for example,
the Holstein has its followers and
they are planning to put on a county

hirty head or more all winter with

three or four days, when he fills the
racks in an old open barn with the
hay he has cut from some of this

His practice is 10 take the cattle
off certain areas along about the
middle of July and let the grass grow
nigh. This is mowed-a mixture of
orchard grass, native blue grass,
white clover, red clover. Japanese
clover, sweet clover. The cattle
come Gown from the mills whenever
they care to and help themselves to
this rough hay. Then they go back
to their grazing,
This knob land, which is proving
the greatest natural asset to Eastern
Tennessee livestock development, is
commonly known as "black slaae."
Grass and the clovers grow in it TO
rank luXuriance. We walked over
some knobs knee-deep in these mix
tures-knobs on which in March,
1918, John Hitch turned a bunch of
thin, light steers, which when they
were taken off the first of October
were heavy and fat. They got not a
mouthful of anything but this graz
ing.
There is another Angus breeder in
BlOunt who followed closely John
Hitch's pioneer work with that breed
S. N. Yearout, of Maryville. He
brought in three or four pure-bred
cows shortly after the Hitch herd was
established in nucleus. To-day his
herd numbers ninety as fine animals
as one usually finds in the famous
long established Angus sections.
Ground limestone and pure-bred cat
tie, l found were the secrets of Mr..
Yearout's success.
Last spring Mr.. Yearout's home
sale totaled forty-nine head, to which
Juyers from Tennessee, North Caro-
ina, Alabama, Kentucky and Georgia
came in force. They paid $19,950
'or the forty-nine head. His female
B'ackcap Georgia 2G26O9. calved in
September, 1917, went to John Hitch
for $1250. He held one sale of 100
animals which averaged him $3.50 a
head; another sale averaged $268.
Henry Duncan, another Angus
breeder, who was among the first to
introduce the Angus to Blount
County as well as to East Tennessee,
and who is secretary of the Blount
County Angus Breeders Association,
instead of showing me his herd,
which then was wandering at sun
down among the knobs, took me to

the pride of his years operations.
He did this to show me what this soil

estate SO long as they worked their
poor lands in general farm crops.
Then" he explained, I'm sure it
was the Lord Himself who put the
knobs in my mind l just figured
that We could buy some of this cheap
hill land, raise stock on it and in that
way bring down money for our poor
er level lands.
Eight years ago he brought into
B.ount County one registered Angus
COW. She was then two years old.
The COW is still on his land and has
given him eight calves. And she be-

are making money for John Hitch
and making him famous as we'll.
This knob land he referred to
you know its kind, common, to the
mountain sections of Tennessee, Vir-
GINA, West Virginia and other
states. It's steep and covered with
timber. Fourteen years ago John
Hitch bought 1870 acres of it for
$1,000. He peeled off his coat and
bucked the staggering task of clear
ing it of timber. The timber itself,
John told me, was sufficient to pay
for the land if one cut it for timber.
But cattle were on his mind and he
was playing for better stakes.
So he burned the slash, sprinkled
grass-and-clover mixture in the ashes
then let Nature do the rest. The
grasses and clovers grew and spread;
the cattle took to the hills by their
very instinct To-day these knobs
are without timber or brush, terraced
with winding cattle trails and in
places knee-deep in grass and clover.
amy man who studies his knobs
and watches the cattle on them"
said John as we toiied through the
hills, "and can't see that these old
knobs were just naturally created by
the Lord for fat cattle-that man
hasn't got soul, much less a vision"
Everywhere in Eastern Tennessee
now the common rule Of farming is
to cultivate the bottom lands and
Craze the knobs. And this same sort
of land which John bought so cheap
some fourteen years ago is bringing
forty dollars on acre to-day. He
paid that price for some two years
ago.
Natural Shelters For Snowfall
In this portion of Tennessee,
where official government records
show that over a twenty-year period
the average annual rainfall runs be-
tween forty-fve and fifty-fve inches,
pasture grows luxuriantly. 1t can be
grazed through the winter, even
when snow covers the hills, for there
are always the protected coves to
which the herds go where the wind
and snowfall are broken and where
the grass grows green. On two or
three little knobs John Hitch keeps

One may seek the answer to this
question by observing the conduct
and condition of these peoples today,
observing the currents Of thought in
these several countries, and inter-
preting the course of events. But
this method is full of pitfalls for
even the most experienced observer.
In the daily record of developments
the unessential, theunimportant, the
transitory often loom unduly large.
A surer answer to the question may
be had by reflecting upon the con-
duct of those peoples during the
great ordeal which we have just
passed through and by a considera-
ton of the qualities which the terri
fc test of the Great War revealed IN
them.
We have not space now for a de-
tailed study of this sort nor is there
need for an exposition of the details.
The result tells the story. The char
acter of the wars ending, the COM
plete and decisive victory over Prus-
sianism is the best promise we can
have of the ability of the great peo-
piles who won that victory to meet
successfully whatever the future
holds in store. The victory was won
mainly because those peoples demon
trated a degree of devotion to ideals,
of courage and of national intelli-
gence such as was never before wit
messed in the world. 1t is impossible
to believe that peoples who were cap,
able of what those. peoples endured
and accomplished are now doomed
to fall as unfortunate Russia has
fallen.
Hence, though our chief concern is
the, future and not the past, it is well
to let the mind dwell on the record
of the five years just ended. In that
record of noble sacrifice, of sublime
heroism, of amazing achievement
we shall find the best assurance OF
victory over the dangers ahead: lhe
Great War was the most striking IN
stance in human history of the oper-
alton of the biological law of the
survival of the fttest-the fittest not
only in a physical and material sense
but the fittest spiritually and men
tally. 1t revealed in the peoples upon
whom now chiefly depends the safe
ty of civilization qualities of great
ness transcending even the utmost
hopes of those who had faith in
them. Only the blind will minimize
the seriousness of the problems be-
fore use; but the pessimist who has
no hope that those problems can be
met has missed the significance of
the Marne, of Ypers, of Verdun, OF
the Argonne and of the Plave.-
