tions Of America. We believe that
this is the best government ever de
vised by the mind of man under the
divine guidance. Whatever reforms
may be necessary or advisable in gov
eminent can be made without doing
violence to the eternal principles upon
which this nation was founded. What

The resolutions deprecate any ap-

They favored larger appropriations
for roads and schools and for the re-
organization Of the state department
of agriculture to take it from politics
and vest its control in the farmers.
Immediately after the opening of
the second days session of the Farm

on permanent organization reported.

SANITATION Of farmers of Middle Ten
nessee. 1t was shown that popular
sentiment of farmers of this grand di-
vision, favored such an organization,
following conferences held at Cooke
vile on December 9, Tullahoma on
March 2, Dickson on May 4 and Co.
lumbia on June @ Attending these
meetings were more than 200 farmers,
representing twenty-eight of the forty
counties of Middle Tennessee.
The report sets forth the fact that
these conferences reached the conclu.
sion that the county council of agri-
culture is the accepted form for coun-
ty organization. Conditions seemed
right for immediate organization for
the farmers of the whole division of
Middle Tennessee.
The report then sets out the pur-
poses of the organization and says
These changes present various prob
lens which this organization must

ders for the sake of maintaining prof
liable working relations with those
outside of our division"

TRUSTEE BURNS LEO
TICKET LAST week

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
With three boxes unreported,
Timmons in the second, Bigbyville in
the sixth and Hampshire in the
tenth, the county election commits
sioners met on Monday afternoon to
canvass the vote of Thursday cleo
ton and declare the result.
]. Ross Burns, running for election
as trustee had the honor of leading
the ballot in the county with total
OF 1872 votes with the three boxes
urreported. Gabriel X. Howard was
second in the list with 1901 votes
with Webb Williams eight votes be-
hind. The smallest vote was polled
by Thomas B. Lyle for chancellor
with 1882 to his credit. Judge Whit
thorne received 1888 votes.
With the spoiled ballots and the
returns from the three missing dis
tricts it is probable that the vote of
the county was around 1000, one of
the smallest ever cast -.
The fact that no candidate had any
opposition and that district contests
were scarce accounts for the small
vote.

In the winter red clover hay is the
best roughage when the sheep are run

steadily. Sheep should be rotated
from pasture to pasture, unless the
field is very large, and sheep should
not be housed in the winter time.

There was a much larger attend
ance at the afternoon session OF the
institute on Tuesday than was pres

were several hundred additions dur
ing the noon hour from all parts Of the
division, a big addition coming from
the counties of Davidson, Montgom-

ing session during the afternoon,
many matters of practical information
to the farmers being discussed by
men who have made success in their
especial lines of endeavor.
Devotional services were conduct
ed by DR.. T. f. Dixon, followed by
several musical selections consisting
OF familiar songs and melodies.
The subject "a proper balance Of
crops and live stock for the average
farmer, was most Interestingly dis
cussed by j. c. McAmig, using the

1t was the general opinion of all the
speakers that the most successful
farmers were those who used live
stock.
/ l.. A. Richardson, live stock expert
spoke On the sheep situation, making
al earnest plea for more live stock
on the farms of Tennessee. The
sheep men should get together and not
only produce more sheep but better
sheep. Practical experience running
through many farms and over long
period of years had shown beyond
question that sheep We're by long odds
the best, investment on the farm. Not
only did they yield a big direct profit
but. they were nnexcelled when it
came to- cleaning fields and enrich
ing the lands. 49,. ss IA
Mr.. Richardson was followed by Ho.

of the best practical farmers of Mid
die Tennessee, and farmer who has
made a practical success of sheep
growing. Mr. Hancock has been en-
gagged In sheep growing for many
years and he knows "the game" from
long experience. Mr.. Hancock dis
cassed the several different breeds
that were used in this section.
