Decline in Hay Crop.

G.. l.. Morris. field agent for the
department of agriculture, in his
crop report issued recently, says
that there has been considerable
decline noted in hay crop, as to con-
dition, since the first of May. This
was brought about by several weeks
dry weather in the eastern part OF
the State, where grasses are the
principal hay crop, and in the middle
and western parts of the State, where
excess moisture caused many fields
to become very foul and weedy. The
acreage Of clover for hay remains the
same as last year while there has
been very small reduction in the
amount of alfalfa.
Mr.. Morris says that it is useless
to disguise the fact that conditions
of most of the crops of the State are
considerably below last year, and, in
most instances considerably below
InC uCn yCul dNCi dSC. AllHOoL SOhLIh-
uous rains for nearly eight months,
over two-thirds of the State, so
percent shortage of farm labor COM
pared with the requirements, with a
very backward season has caused all
farm operations to be greatly de-
layed. A considerable amount of the
corn crop is yet to be planted and
the planting of summer crops such
as 'cowpeas, soybeans, etc., has hard
ly commenced. The present condi-
tion of the wheat crop, with very
much reduced acreage, would indi-
cate total production of about 81
100000 bushels for the State. The
condition of the oat crop, which is
better adapted to such conditions as
we have had, is showing up well.

Te.,nss.es Hog Breeders. .

This is the season OF the yea
when a little work along sanitar!
lines and proper care and attention
to the feeding and management o.
hogs will prevent large percentage
of loss from hog cholera and othel
diseases of swine. Farmers should
make every effort to keep their hog
in good health, free from condition:
that lower their resistance and make
them more susceptible to disease. say
animal husbandry specialists of the
Division of Extension.
Hogs kept in clean quarters with
good feed, fresh water, sufficient
amount Of mineral matter, free from
lice, mango, worms and other con,
ditions caused by unsanitary pens
and yards, it is pointed out are bet
ter able to resist hog cholera and
losses are not as heavy should an
outbreak occur.
Special attention should be given
the sows at narrowing time. Clean
and frequently disinfected pens help
materially in producing good filters
of strong, healthy pigs. Hog cholera
spreads easily and travels in differ
ent ways from farm to farm. At first
signs of sickness in the herd, a COM
petent veterinarian should be called
The county agricultural agent will
be of help in giving advice concern
ing the latest methods in preventing
this disease. In preventing losses
and controlling cholera 1t is of i'm
portance that its presence be deter
mined promptly. Anti-hog cholera
serum is the only preventative
known at the present time. This
must be used early to save the hogs
and CONTROL the outbreak.
Other recommendations made by
specialists for the care of hogs dur
ing this season of the year are the
free use of pasturage, red clover,
rape, oats and alfalfa being good for
this purpose; sowing of sorghum
broadcast, 80 to 100 pounds per acre
up to June Is which will carry s to
IL hogs per acre during July and
August; planting of more corn and
soy beans, which will make good
late summer and fall feed Shade
should be provided in hot weather.
Pigs should be kept free from lice.
All sows and gifts should be safely
bred by June Is for for fall pigs.
Keep accurate breeding records and
dates.

ment to close tight and fast for one

same boat with the mills and whole

proposition will not be given an air

altogether practical by embracing

Wanted--a Man.

We rather think that Congress,
more than anyone else. is to blame
for the unbusiness like methods of
the U. s. Government. However it
is not a very good idea to make an
exception of the Administration. The
suggestion of good business comes at
time when there is strong talk of
the Democratic party going into the
race handicapped. The Government
needs more than anything else in
the world a business man to take
care of its finances. A real man is
needed who cares nothing for re-
election and the rancor of profess
sional politicians. A tall man, sun
crowned and sunkissed (not quoting
from a demagogue) afraid of moth
ing, who will wade in and slash right
and left the pap suckers. grafters and
time-servers. Senator Harding be-
longs to the standpat Republicans.
He is probably fine man personally,
but politically he cannot get away
from the politicians who nominated
him. He is from the same old polit-
zeal circus. Then who is the man?
The man who has more of the right
symptoms than anyone yet named is
Herbert Hoover. Let him be English,
Republican or whatnot. There is in
dication of combination of qualities
honesty and independence-that
the others do not Geem to have He
wears no collar, il the signs are
right.
If the Democrats want to switch
the elephant off let them offer Mr..
Hoover the nomination and take a
chance on one man being big enough
to order and call halt on Govern
ment recklessness and incompetency
This paper suspected Mr.. Hoover be-
fore the Republican convention. He
seemed to be practicing on the politi-
cal wires. But the fact that the G.
o. P. would have none of him is the
very best evidence in the world that
he is not to be bought and controlled
II the Democrats won't have him,
then we are in favor of an independ-
ent ticket to run Hoover for Pres
ident. There is one boiler right here
in this office If that thing takes |
place.

Eggs in Warm Weather.

BOOSTERS should be confined and
infertile eggs produced during hot
weather, says poultry specialists OF
the Division of Extension, University
of Tennessee. Infertile eggs keep
better and should bring more money
than fertile eggs. Other suggestions
are: Keep the nests clean and pro-
vide one for each six hens. Gather
eggs twice daily or oftener, and mar
ket them twice weekly. They should
be kept in cool, dry, well venti-
lated place and never near kerosene,
onions or other odoriferous material.
Eggs should be protected from the
sun when being taken to market. 1t
would be well to learn to candle
eggs and sell to buyer who will
pay for infertile eggs.

Trying to Regulate
Rent Profiteering
In. Chicago

Chicago, April 15-This city is at
tempting to prevent rent profiteering
by regulating increases in rates and
by organizing s100,O00,0O0 corpora
! ton to build homes and sell them on
, easy payments. Meanwhile Chica-
COS fiat jewellers have been forming
unions to wage war on alleged prof
| iteering landlords and committees in
! the city council have been investi-
eating increases in rents ranging up
to 100 and even 200 percent.
! Several hundred families have
solved their individual housing
, problems by making their homes in
houseboats moored in the branches
of the Chicago river. the Calumet
and lakes in south Chicago. Once
in possession of a house boat, the
| owner only has to pay 81 Il month
| for the privilege of mooring his craft.
If he docs not like his location he
can move his home boat elsewhere.
Many of these boats cost $1,000 each
and have five rooms, parlor, dining
room, kitchen and two bedrooms.
In some cases groups of tenants
have solved the rent problem by
! forming co Operative companies and
buying the apartment houses in
which they live.
! The housing corporation, which
has been financed by banks and
, business men, has under considera-
; ton a plan to build a row of model
. Do ri
front Examples of many types of
standardized homes would be erect
ed, furnished and surrounded by
! settings of trees and shrubbery so
! that a prospective purchaser OF
! new home could look over the styles
before placing his order.
Attempts have been made to check
rent profiteering by cooperation of
the city council and the Cook Coun-
ty Real Estate Board which lnves-
tigated complaints and, when in
} creases we're found to be excessive,
advised the landlord to withdraw his
demands. In general the investiga-
tors have allowed an increase OF
about 80 per cent over last year
rentals.
A proposal was made to erect
scores Of portable houses but the
= carpenters union declared its oppo-
sition to that plan even if the houses
came from union factories.
I The recent tornadOeS which de-
stroyed 100 houses and damaged 4oo
more in Chicago and its suburbs
have augmented a housing short
age which had already become acute
through suspension of building oper-
atoms in the war and long drawn
builders contracts.

Our Wild Birds
What About Them
Lecture This Evening

The lecture of wild bird life by Mr..
Herbert K. Job at the First Baptist
Church under the auspices of The
Ball Conservation Bird Club. FRIDAY
evening. April 16. promises to be a
rare treat for bird lovers.
Mr.. Job has made much Of unusual
opportunities for careful study of
bird life in their favorite haunts and
has probably the finest collection of
photographs Of wild bird life of any
author or lecturer. He uses in this
lecture five reels Of pictures to illus
trate a very interesting and pleasing
description.
He is in charge of the Audubon So
cieties department OF applied ornith-
ology and is a member of the Amer
lean Ornithologists Union and was
formerly State Ornithologist Of Con-
necticut, possessing q rare fund of
information and very pleasing
method Of imparting it.
The Ball Conservation Bird Club
was organized in this city in Janu-
airy. 1919. with fifteen members, by
Rev. and Mrs. Dwight A. Ball. Since
that time the club has steadily grown
in membership and much interest
has been awakened in this COM
munity in our wild birds. Different
members by feeding the birds
throughout the past severe winter
have attracted more birds. than ever
before known here. A feeding sta
ton has been established in Monu-
ment Park. Those interested in this
work will find the lecture not only
one Of fascinating interest but also
a valuable source of information re-
specting methods for increasing the
