MANY COUNCILS OF
AGRICULTURE FORMED

The county council Of agriculture
movement seems to have taken a Arm
roofing in Tennessee. Eighteen coun-
ties have already perfected permanent
organizations and a dozen other coun-
ties have temporary organizations
which will be made permanent In q
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 organized effort. The county
councils of agriculture are advocated
by the Division of Extension of the
University of Tennessee and the work
ers of the organizations are aiding in
their formation, the various county
agents being especially active in the
work. The organizations are starting
on a splendid foundation with the idea
OF expressing no one but for the good
81 every citizen.
Membership campaigns that are be-
ing conducted In . number Of counties
Of the state show that the farmers
have faith in the county council Of
agriculture because it gets at the farm
ers' problems from the viewpoint Of
the farmer. 1t Is doing for the farm
ers what q live Chamber Of Commerce
acting thru committees does for the
business men Of q city.
Stated briefly a county council OF
asricuiture is an organization for the

HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE ENLARGED
Democratic Caucus Selections APP
proved-Row Imminent Over Pro-
posed New Legislative Method.

The House today approved the &C
ton of the democratic caucus yester-
day in nominating their seven new
members for, the enlarged appropria-
tions committee. All of the new
democratic members will retire from
session. They are: Representatives
Small of North Carolina, from the
rivers and harbors committee; Dent
of Alabama, from the military affairs
committee; Rubey of Missouri, from
the agricultural committee; Holland
of Virginia, from the post Office COM
mittee; Hastings of Oklahoma. from
Indian affairs; Ayres of Kansas, from
naval affairs, and Smith of New York,
from foreign affairs.
Action of the House at the last
session in deciding to refer all money
bills to an enlarged appropriations
committee today showed signs of de-
blings were heard from several quar-
tiers and committee chairmen par
Iticularly were represented by their
associates as now feeling that the move
had been in the wrong direction.
Inasmuch as most of the legislation
which will finally get through the
House at the present session is ex
pected to consist Of appropriation
measures, committee members who
for many sessions have aided in
formulating these bills were said to
see no opportunity to assist in this
work.
Chairman Butler of the naval af-
fairs committee declared today that
the House action means that thirty
five men (the membership of the en-
Iarged committee) can now run the
House for this session and the rest
Of US can go home"
THE change" said Representative
Butler. has simply made useless
about $50 men who have worked hard
on these committees. They might as
well be given a time table and told
to go home and come back to vote.
Maybe the thirty-five men on the APP
preparations committee would take their
proxy and they wouldn't have to come
back at ALL"
The naval affairs committee chair
man indicated that various members
of the House were preparing to voice
their objection to the plan and the
whole question might be brought up
again for caucus action by the re-
publicans.

there are more silos in proportion to

ALFALFA wEEvIL CHECKED

The alfalfa weevil in some sections
not only causes financial loss, but
even threatens actual ruin. Hereto
fore the control methods were only
partially successful. Flooding the al
falfa fields, cultivating them when dry
and dragging them with q brush har-
row, seemed to check this pest only
in a measure. Also the growth Of .
second cutting was so delayed and
often SO short that the crop as q whole
was much reduced.
Work by the Salt Lake City Bureau
Of Entomology, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, showed that the
best results came from spraying the
alfalfa fields with a solution Of arsen-
ate of lead when the larvae of the
weevl were doing the greatest dam
age on the first crop. Demonstrations
were held in various sections of the
great Salt Lake Valley in cooperation
with the county agricultural agents.
During 1919, this work was extended
and the demonstrations carried for
ward by the county agents indicate
that IN effective and cheap method Of
stopping the destructiveness Of the
nest has been found.

alfalfa were treated by spraying. and
| il is estimated that the net saving on
these demonstration fields totals $41.-

hay is saved. The cost is only about
$1.50 an acre, as but two pounds Of
