Tractor Hits Stump;
Driver Painfully Hurt

Painful injury about the chin and
other portions of his face, and the
loss of several teeth, were sustained
yesterday by Lee Autry, driver of
one of the county's big caterpillar
tractors, while doing road grading
near Plains. The tractor on which
he was riding and which was drawing
two heavy scrapers, hit stump and
the impact threw him against the
machinery, lascerating his face badly.

QFFICER CLEARED
[ IN ASSAULT CASE
Shooting at Speeder Is
Justified by Court
Decision Friday.

In q hearing before Justice S. G
Maxey yesterday. Eugene Layman OF
Red Fork was released from the
charge of assault with n deadly
weapon upon Archie Schultz, a mo-
torist.
Layman who was a traffic officer
at the time OF the affair testified
that Schultz was travelling at the
rate of 35 miles an hour, and that
when he tried to halt the car Schultz
crowded him from the road and
continued on toward Tulsa. Layman
then drew his revolver and fired one
ghot, he says, at the tire Of the flee
ing car. The shot struck Schultz In
the shoulder.
Justice Maxey I'm commenting on
the case said that he was convinced
that Layman was indiscreet in fir
ing from a moving motorcycle but
that he could see no reason to be-
iieve that Layman had any other
object than to enforce the law. THE
motorists are getting more reckless
and wanton every day, he said. and
are slaughtering our people on the
highways everywhere. Something
cgst be done TO help our officers

PRODUCTION AND CARE OF
EGGS IN WARM WEATHER

BOOSTERS should be confined and
infertile eggs produced during hot
weather, say 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 ventilated
place and never near kerosene, on
ions or other odoriferous material.
Eggs should be protected from the
sun when being taken to market.
1t would be we'll to learn to candle
egg sand sell to buyer who will
pay more for infertile eggs.

TENNESSEE
FARM NEWS
TIMELY SUGGESTIONS FOR TEN.
NESSEE HOG BREEDERS


This is the season of the year
when a little work along sanitary
lines and proper care and attention
to the feeding and management Of
hogs viii prevent large percentage
of loss from hog dealers and other
diseases of swine. Farmers should
make every effort to keep their hogs
in good health, free from conditions
that lower their resistance and make
them more susceptible to disease, say
animal husbandry specialists of the
Division of Extension.
Hogs kept in clear quarters with
good, fresh water, sufficient amount
of mineral matter, free from lice,
mango, worms and other conditions
caused by unsanitary pens and yards,
it is pointed out, are better 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 chol-
era spreads easily and travels in diff
ferent ways from farm to farm. At
first signs of sickness in the herd
a competent veterinarian should be
called. The county agricultural
agent will be of help in giving advice
concerning the latest methods in pre-,
venting this disease. In preventing
losses and controlling cholera it is of
Importance that its presence be de-
termined promptly. Anti-hog chol-
era serum is the only preventive
treatment known at the present tins.
This must be used early to save the
hogs and control the outbreak.
Other recommendation made by
specialists for the care of hogs during
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 broad
cast, 80 to 100 pounds per acre up
to June 18th which will carry 8 to
IL hogs per acre during July and
August; planting of more corn and
soybeans 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 18th for fall pigs. Keep
accurate breeding records and dates
of all your hogs.

CONSIDERABLE DECLINE IN HAY
CROP SINCE MAY NOTED

G.. l.. Morris, field agent Tor the
department Of agriculture in his
crop report issue recently says that
there has been considerable decline
noted in hay crop, as to condition,
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 west
ern parts of the state, where excess
moisture caused many fields to be-
come 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
fof most, Of the crops Of the state are
considerably below last year, and, in
most instances considerably below
the ten year average. Almost con-
tinuous rains for nearly eight
months, over two-thirds of the state,
a 80 per cent shortage of farm labor
compared with the requirements,
with a very backward season has
caused all farm operations to be
greatly delayed. A considerable
amount of the corn crop is yet to be
planted and the paintings sof summer
crops such as cowpeas, soybeans,
ETC., has hardly commented. The
present esnaition q the wheat crop,

BUILD UP THE SOIL BY FEED
ING CROPS ON LAND

Specialists of the Division Of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee,
state that from ten to forty per
cent more Of the fertility contained
in crops can be left on the land by
pasturing or feeding in the field
than by feeding around the barns,
even where the most careful methods
Of saving manure are employed. Va
rious experiments show it to be
economical to produce pork and NUT
ton by pasturing corn and by feed
ing grain in connection with the pas
turing Of forage crops, they say.
The manure from hogs and sheep
is very difficult to collect and haul
back to the land, Moreover, these
animals ar usually the better types
to use for psstpring crops in the
field. When pastured about seventy.
five per cent Of the plant food in the
crops will be directly returned to
the soil.. This method also saves
much labor and time. Where hogs
are fed in pens very little of the
solid manure, and practically none OF
the liquid is returned to the land in
this state, it has been found. Anoth-
err good plan for saving manure from
these animals az well as beef cattle
is to establish temporary FEEDING
yards ON the thinner spots in the
fields. THIS sends tO-nsNke the fer.

CULTIVATION DOES WONDERS
FOR GARDEN

Cultivating the garden accom-
pDshes other purposes than merely
killing weeds, good gardeners realize.
For one thing, it forms surface
layer of loose earth, which hinders
evaporation and keeps the soil under
meath moist. 1t admits air into the
sol, and d well-aired soil favors the
growth Of beneficial bacteria and
those chemical changes which set
9lant food free. The surface of
ars soi should be worked as soon
ftae a rain as ii ceases to be sticky.
If not worked at this time it tends
to harden or "ba}e." After tho
garden becomes well started cultiva-
ton should be shallow in order to
avoid injuring the roots of the plants.
which come close to the surface.
For best results keep the weeds out
and the surface of the ground
loose.
