Germans Object
to Peace Treaty

OF course the Germans will object
to the peace treaty as submitted, The
chief reason is for the first time the
leaders have a chilling realization of
the ruin they have wrought in their
own country. All their boastings are
contradicted and all their ambitions
are thwarted by the document which
was submitted to them. They will
naturally attempt to avert the wrath
of the people from their own heads
by alleging that the terms are in
human and cruel.
The terms that Germany placed on
France in 1871 were then regarded
as inhuman.
The terms that Russia forced on
Denmark before 10 were cruel. The
treaty that Germany forced onRussia
two vars ago was inhuman.
If Germany refuses to sign
the treaty the allied army will march
into the country and take it over.
Just as soon as the Germans find
that Foch issues the order for the
march to begin there win be recon
sideration. Foch wisely provided for
an event of this sort when the arms-
tice came. He took away from Ger
many all of its effective weapons.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

Almost as important as the build
ing is the location. For US to have a
good building hemmed in on all sides
so that the only outlet is upon the
streets is a great mistake.
The principal criticism now is
that students are too much on the
streets, yet we have furnished no
other place for them. Students from
a distance are expected to live in the
dormetories. They must have some
place for recreation. For school girls
to be continually on the streets ere
ates gossip and the best parents will
not stand for it.
Let u have twenty or twenty five
acres at least. There must be ample
ground for campus, play ground,
gymnasium and athletic field. Boys
and girls can not keep their health
while in school without proper
amount of exercise. All this recre-
alton should be taken on the grounds.
How can this be done if we do not
furnish the space.
The school which does not prepare
its pupils for that which they intend
to follow, misses its calling. The
great majority of our students are
farmers and home-makers, hence we
must have taught in our schools Ag-
riculture and Home Economics. This
requires demonstration plots adja-
cent to the campas. These plots with
a small amount of other equipment
must be furnished by US if we receive
aid from the ith-Hughes Fund.
If this is provided by the school
authorities, one-half of the salaries
of the Agricultural and Home Eco
Monies teachers will be paid from
that fund. We can i'll afford to lose
81 200 or $500 a year for the life
time of our school. The authorities
will certainly see that we do not lose
the. above amount.
We are looking for and expecting
the interest of our boys and girls
to be taken care of by those whose
business it is to select the location.
We are hoping for plenty of room.

THE OLD ART or TERRAClNG

Considerable field terrscing has been
done in Tennessee, but some Of II has
not proven satisfactory, mainly be-
cause the work has been poorly done
and little attention has been given TO
the work after 1t has been finished.
Some terraces are holding well and
will prove very valuable. In West
Tennessee, where terracing Is most
important, county agents are equipped
with field levels and are devotlns much
time TO terracing demonstrations. Most
terracing failures are due to the fact
that the low places were not filled In
sufficiently and terraces are too mar
row. In some fields too few terraces
have been built, and they have not
been able TO handle the water without
overlapping,
Unless terracing is done right, II Is
better not TO attempt II, There IL
plenty of evidence to show that work
Is wasted unless II is well done.

are the pink type tomato, globulsr in

tough skin, all of which qualities make

the farmers In community agree on
one variety. In order to get In on a

necessary that rather large plants be
