MANY COUNCILS OF
AGRICULTURE FORMED

The county council of agriculture
movement seems to have taken a firm
roofing In Tennessee. Eighteen coun-
ties have already perfected permanent
organizations and q dozen other coun-
ties have temporary organizations
which will be made permanent In .
short time. Many other counties now
have plans on foot TO organize. This
Is indeed significant Of the progressive
spirit of the farmers of the state, who
apparently very keenly appreciate the
fact that much can be accomplished
thru c.ganized effort. The county
councils Of agriculture are advocated
b. the Division of Extension Of the
University of Tennessee and the work
ers of the organization are aiding in
Their formation, the various county
agents being especially active IN the
work. The organizations are stariin,
on splendid foundation with the Idle
Of depressing no one but for the good
OF every cltlIen.
Membership campaigns that are be-
Ing conducted in q number OF counties
Of the state show that the farmers
have faith in the county council OF
agriculture because ii gets al the farm
ers' problems from the viewpoint Of
the farmer. II Is doing for the farm
ers what lire Chamber of Commerce
acting thru committees does for the
business men Of e city.
Stated briefly a county council Of
agriculture i an organization for the
mutual benefit OF all. who live from
the land A farm bureau promotes
better agriculture, better homes, and
better community life.

Believe in Lime

G c. Wright. County Agricu tural
Agent in Lawrence County, states as
evidence that the farmers of Lswer-
ence County b heve IN lime for sgri-
cultural purposes. that 3 carloads have
been ordered within the last 10 days
and judging from inquiries turnout tae
county the amount used this year will
be double that of last.
One farmer used 6 tons on his clover
last year and he is so well pleased with
results that he wants carload this fall.
Another farmer 10 this County used 10
tons last year and this year he is plan
ming to use 80. Still another progressive
farmer Of the County will spread 40
tons this year on his farm and only re-
Gently he stated that be believed this
would be worth more to bis farm thaa
any other one thing that he has done to
improve it.
Lime corrects acidity in the soil; i'm
proves the physical condition; renders
clay soils more open and porous, there
by making them easier to cultivate and
easier to drain. Lime stimulates the
decomposition of organic matter in the
soil and of msnurts added, enabling
plant food to become more available.
However, lime is not plant food and
should not be considered as a fertilizer.
There is a tendency for acid to form as
crops are grown on land. In order TO
correct this lime is used. When clover
refuses to grow with other conditions
favorable, it is pretty good indication
that the land needs lime. Under the
direction OF Mr.. Wright the farmers of
this County are ordering their lime
comparatively and are making a nice
saving on it.

MEMORIAL BEING SET UP BUT

SERVICE POSTPONED
PROBABLY UNTIL JUNE
City Federation Committee Advised
That Vases Ornamenting Monu-
,ment Not Yet Finished-Will Not
Be Shipped Until Next Month
Date to Es Announced Later.

Plans mace by the committee o.
the City Federation for the dedica-
ton of the memoi ia monument to
the countys dead of the world war
Memorial Day have been given up.
Instead of dedicating the monument
rhat day the ceremony is to be post
poned until probably some date in
June. The reason fer the postpon-
ment, Mrs. d. K. Jackson. chairman
Of the committee, said. was because
he monument would not be COM
pletel until probably next month.
Workmen now are setting up the
memorial. They found that not
Ill of the parts are here so that the
monument cannot be completed at
this time. 1t developed that the two
granite vases. that top the columns
at the ends OF the monument. are not
here. The bronze tablet. which is be-
ing held at the foundry for correc-
ton of names. was not expected to
be delivered until next week. and
perhaps may not reach here by that
time.
Inquiry at the office of the Capital
City Monument Company. Des
Moines, where the monument was
purchased. brought the information
that the vases had not yet been fin
ishe1 and would. not be until next
month. 1t also developed that the
speaker, who was asked to dedicate
the monument, could not come here
Memorial Day. So. rather than at
tempt to dedicate the monument
while it still was not completed, Mrs.
jackson has decided to postpone the
ceremony to some date that will be
announced later.
