add little kick to their cider.
A farmer in Fairfax county, Va,
is authority for the statement that
from time to time his bees, either
firing of their regular work of fill
ing honeycombs or from pure
devilment, drop down upon the
ground under apple trees and drink
themselves drunk from the oozing
liquid from decaying fruit. He
has made it his business to verify
the statement by close study of his
buzzing honey producers.

SlLO AS IMPORTANT IN SOUTH
AS IN NORTH

Some few European farmers have
the idea that the silo is distinctively
a northern institution, designed to
help the northern stock and dairy
farmer carry on his business at a
profit during the long cold northern
winters. With prices of feed soaring
higher and higher and the price of
beef just holding it's own, the modern
farmer is forced to turn to a cheap
err food and instinctively he turns to
the silo. 1t is not northern institu-
ton any more than corn is a north
ern crop, Says H. B. Bliss, Rural
Engineering Specialist, Division of
extension, University of Tennessee.
In the spring before pastures are
good, it implies the needed green
food. During the dry weather in
summer and fall it keeps the milk
cows up to their standard, and fur
nishes just the feed that is needed
for those cattle that are going into
the fatening lot. Then in winter with
little or no pasture bad rainy weather
and soft or frozen ground, the silo
furnishes a succulent food that is
needed to keep up the flow of the
dairy COW and keep the stock grow
ing. They not only eat it but they
, like it, and keep in good flesh on it,
and the milk cows continue to milk
longer on it than they possibly could

boys have planned to go to the club
camp in August. This camp will last
four days. The Commercial and Ro.

Recreation and instruction will be

something. The boy scouts of Clarks-

a part of their program and a picnic

LAWRENCE COUNTY MEN BE-
LIEVE IN LIME

G. c. Wright, County Agent for
Lowrence County, states as evidence
that the farmers of Lawrence Coun-

purposes, that 8 carloads have been
ordered within the last 10 days and
Judging from inquiries turnout the
county the amount. used this year
will be double that of last.
One farmer used s tons on his
clover last year and he is SO well
pleased with results that he wants a
carload this fall. Another farmer in
this county used 10 tons last year
and this year he is planning to use
so. Still another progressive farmer
of the county will spread 40 tons
this year on his farm and only re-
Gently he stated that he believed this
would be worth more to his farm
than any other thing that he has
done to improve it. ..

improves the physical condition; rem
ders clay soils more open and porous
thereby making them easier to cul-
tivate and easier to DARN, Lime slim
ulates the decomposition of organic
matter in the soil and of manures

come more valuable. 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 refused to grow with other
conditions favorable, it is a 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.

SUGAR SHORTAGE TURNS
CANADIAN FARMERS TO
SUGAR BEETS

Winnipeg, Man, Aug. 2.-Short-
age of sugar, with accompanying
high prices has turned the attention
of Canadian farmers to the profits
of sugar beet production.
Sugar beets grown in Canada and
used in the manufacture of sugar in
1918 totaled 204,017 tons. The crop
sold at the sugar factories for ST.
593,715, or S12.22 a ton. Canada
had $4,000 acres in sugar beets that
year, which averaged over eleven
tons to the acre, The acreage in 1919
was $4,000 and the average yield
was 9.S tons to the acre. Sugar price
was around IL cents pound in 1919
They recently touched 2S cents.
Ontario has produced the bulk of
Canada's sugar beets in the past. Elk
perts declare, however, that agricul-
tural conditions are favorable to the
cultivation of beets in many parts of
Western Canada. The financial pos
sibilities of Western sugar beet pro.
duction are especially interesting just
now in view of the recent decision of
the Hudson Bay Company to close
out to farmers all it's remaining land
in the prairie provinces. A consider
able acreage is being planted to beets
in these provinces and in British
Columbia.
