MARKE TING WOOL

When to Shear-As soon as the
heather becomes warm and danger of
cold rain is passed Some good shep-
herds say, "as soon as blackberry win
! Ter is over"
How to Shear-With the hand shears
Or clippers. When using hand shears
Sc sure to clip with blades level with
the body of the sheep. This avoids
making double cuts of wool and pre-
rents ridgy appearance of sheep
when sheared. If the clippers are
ssed, be careful TO have them adjust
ed so as not to cut too close. When
tut too close, the hot sun will blister
The back, and flies will annoy the sheep
sefore the wool makes the necessary
growth to protect its skin. Always
imooth the skin toward you with the
eft hand, and let the wool roll natur-
ally from the sheep. Never pull the
wool down with the hands.
With the average farm flock the
aand shears are preferable to the clip
GERS on account Of the purchase cost /;
he cost Of operating, and the ease of
teeping them in condition.
Rolling and Tying FIeece-Each
leece should be kept intact-rolled
and tied in a neat bundle. To roll a
seece properly, spread it out evenly
On shearing table, clipped side down,
Aeck-end toward you place belly wool
On fleece and fold in sides until they
,lightly overlap; begin at neck-end
and roll in a neat compact bundle; tie
aeece around both ways with a paper
firing. Do not use Irvine string.
.Marketinc-Market wool in standard
~ feet wool bags.
Grades-Three grades are recog-
aized ON our market, viz: Gear, light
aurr, and hard burr. 1t is advisable
some cases when there are only a
lew burrs, to pick them from the
ieece, but this should be done before
is clipped. When packing wool in
rags, grade it roughly into the above
grades.
Tags, Dead and Black WooI-"Tags"
lhould be separated from fleece in
hearing, and marketed separately.
The wool from dead sheep and all
,lack wool should he marketed as such,
md not mixed with other wool.

irish POTATO IS
A SPLENDID CROP

The Irish potato is a splendid crop
for the boy who lives on the noun
tain. The open sandy soil of such sec
tons, when improved by growing
clover and other legume crops, is the
best potato soil in Tennessee. Pota-
toes like the mountain climate, and
some day the Cumberland Plateau is
going to be known thruout the land
for its big yields and fine quality of
potatoes. This time will come when
our boys learn to improve the soil by
the use of phosphate, lime, legumes
and livestock, so that it is rich enough
to grow big crops.
In 1918 Tennessee grew 100000
bushels of Irish potatoes valued on
the farm December l at $5,715,000.
Many mountain counties in East
Tennessee are adapted to growing late
crops of Irish potatoes.
Tennessee produces $500 600 bush
ELS of Irish potatoes valued at So,1Io,-
900. She annually consumes 100000,
for which in 1918 she paid $9,96O,00O,
This means that Tennessee consumers
paid out money to northern growers
who ship South during winter and
spring months. Other southern states
do not groW enough late crops of Irish
potatoes to meet consuming demands
during winter and spring months any
more than Tennessee does but puc-
chase from New York, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Minnesota, Maine and Col
Drado shipping points. Tennessee
farmers, where potatoes car be eco
nomically grown, could protitaby help
supply this demand, as well as their
own.

1t will be seen in checking over some
of the tables that the county agricul-
tural agent has more than earned his
salary on the marketing work alone.
These figures represent actual gains,
and with the exception of sweet pota-
toes which are based on estimates,
they are based on the records kept of
transactions.

they weigh 60-S0 pounds and are fat.

'Loath to Ofer!"

The latest issue of the Vocational Summary,
published monthly by the Federal Board for Voca-
tonal Education, reprints the following from an
ancient pamphlet entitled "Roger Ascham's School
MASTER" bearing the date 1865:
"And it is pity that commonly more care is had,
yea, and that among very wise men, to find out
rather cunning man for their horse than a cum
ming for their children. They say nay in
word, but they do so in deed. For to the one they
will gladly give stipend of 200 crowns by the year
and loath to offer to the other 200 shillings.
God that stteth in heaven laugheth their choice
scorn and rewardeth their liberality it should.
For He suffereth them to. have tame and we'll
ordered horses but wild and unfortunate children"
1t is interesting to note that this matter of in
adequate pay for "schoolmasters" was satiricaIIy
burning question $50 years ago
Even then there people who thought a
child, as a representative unit Of not only mental
but also moral force, more precious and funda-
mentally powerful as regards the state than-a
means of joy riding.
The wages for grooms in 1865 seems to have
been about TRANSLATED into American money! $40
year against $48 "1oathingly offered" to edu-
Gators. The stable boys stipend close to three
times much the schoomaster's
Today the minimum wage for cunning man"
who tinkers with the insdes of automobiles is $I2s
hour approximately $1,000 year. The mimi
mum pay for men and women who spend many
years and more dollars preparing themselves for
the position of educating Americas future voting
citizens is according to current tables around ST
a year.
And so, after three and one-half centuries, the
ratio remains the same. The fact is rather start
ling. Especially when it is remembered how trip

ton, economic evolution, ct cetera-et 'cetera ad

FOREIGN MILLS HIT
BY FUEL SHORTAGE

Spinners and textile mills in Ger
many, Czechoslovakia, Austria and
Jugoslavia are working only twenty
to thirty per cent of their full ca
pacity, due to lack of fuel and raw
cotton, according to advices to the
Department of Labor.
Unfavorable rates of exchange in
Central Europe make it impossible
for the spinners and textile mills to
buy raw cotton. except when they
are able to market the converted
goods for export simultaneously.
This is very difficult as the raw cot
ton does not arrive until from four
to six weeks after it is purchased.
and mills cannot be sure as to the
cost of labor that long in advance.
