DAIRY TALKS
The small dairy herd of the diversified farm is the big divid end payer.
Mo-. lO6

You seldom hear of a crop or business fail ure on a diversified farm.
 Likewise the banks will tell you that loans to farmers on diversified farms preferred to all others.
 The reason can be traced to the one fact, that the diversified farmer is not carrying all his eggs in one basket" That while one crop might be short low priced, or a complete fail ure, his other crops will undoubtedly yield sufficiently to pay interest on the investment and living besides In the case of the dairy farmer, conditions even more staple.
 In the distribution of labor on the farm, the cow is again felt. The cotton farmer, the grain farmer, or the orchardist, who is ambi- tious and anxious to do as much as possible, is confronted at certain seasons of year with shortage of help in caring for the crop.
 Crops must be cultivated or harvested at a certain time, and being unable with the nomi- nal amount of man, mule tractor power to do the work the farmer must hire help. Very often such help is not available, and heavy loss is sustained.
 The farmer with diversified crops is free of this big handicap. His crops are coming on'' turnout the year, and likewise his income. He can keep his men, because they have steady work, and the monotony is varied by working with different things about the farm. There are no long periods of idleness, to be followed by heart-breaking spells of overwork.
 If the diversified farmer keeps cows, there is the everyday work of caring for the herd (not an arduous task if properly arranged), and a nice cream check at the end of the month. Then from time to time turnout the year. there are the returns from the various crops which will be found to have been pro- duced practically speaking lon velvet.'
 Take for example the we'll improved 4O- or 5O-acre ranch, herd of 20 cows with their increase can easily be carried, and the greater part of the acreage cropped" at the same time.
 The yield of cream from these cows should approximate $500 per month throughout the year, there would be little added work, the land would be greatly enriched by fertilizer, thereby increasing crop yield, and there would be no failures.
 The cream yield from a small herd is usual ly greater per cow, because more individual attention can be given to each cow and be- cause the "slacker" is more evident in a small herd is therefore more quickly eliminated. A wonderful opportunity exists for the man with comparatively small acreage to embark in the dairy business.
 Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business.
 Our farm experts practical men who KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to as- sist any farmer dairyman free of charge.

Tennessee CreIO
Makes Excellent
Training Record

Two hundred and sixty-six Tennes-
scans are now a little more than halI
through their training period at the
Newport training station, and are not
only continuing the excellent record
which marked the first two months OF
their course, but are adding new laurels
daily. Their disciplinary record is still
the highest ever attained by any COM
panies trained here. Only one man has
fallen by the wayside, he having placed
the black mark of desertion opposite
his name on the score board. This
mark shows only the blacker as every
other name is clear Of any mark or dis
obedience.
One hundred and twenty-six men are
still in the regiments studying for their
future duties on deck and at the guns,
After four months these apprentice sea-
men are expected to graduate as sea-
men second class but 20 men have
shown such aptitude for the work that
they have already succeeded in gain
ing this rating. One hundred and
seventy-six men are studying in various
schools for duties in other branches,
and an idea of the many opportuni-
ties offered the men can be seen at a
glance.
These men are divided as follows:
Fuel oil burning firemen rs, electricians
rs, gunners' mates Is, ,signalmen IL,
line petty officers Z, radio electricians
7, buglers 3, yeomen Us, hospital corps
men 2, cooks and bakers 8, musicians
2S, artificers 4, torpedo gunners mates
| 10.
Every school reports fine progress by
| the men, and though examinations have
| not been held in all the schools, those
| which have completed them show some
| men forging ahead. The Is signalmen
have been advanced to the seamen
| second class rating, as have also the
seven students in the line petty officers
class. Three electricians are now wear
| ing the rating badge of a third class
petty officer, while in the gunners'
| mates class, eight men have been pro
| NOTED to the rating of a seaman, and
seven have advanced from apprentice
| seamen to seamen second class.
The music furnished by the Tennes-
see band, which is being trained by
the expert musicians of the band school
| faculty, is improving every day. Right
now this band can hold its own with
| the best in the service, and it seems
| almost certain that the newest ship
will have the finest band.

ALABAMA LAD WANTS
TO SEE SOUTH SEAS

Having heard First Sergt. C. R.
Baumgras, of the local U. S. marine
corps recruiting station, tell some in
teresting tales about the Philippines,
Harold Hicks, of Eutaw, Ala, declared
that he had heard enough and wanted
to go to the land of the South Seas.
After having passed the rigid physi-
cal examination conducted by Lieut.
Samuel e. Johnson, medical examiner,
he was accepted, and a telegram was
sent to the headquarters of the marine
corps, requesting permission to re enlist
Hicks for duty in the Philippines. This
was granted.
Young Hicks was in the army during
the war and re-enlisted in the marines
for special limited service in France.
He was discharged in February, 1920.
Private Hicks left for San Francisco,
Cal, via Ell Paso, Tex, and upon his
arrival at the former place he will en-
bark on an army transport, and will
sail for the South Sea islands
This is only one of many special
assignments that the marines are Civ
ing men who have had previous SER
vice." stated Sergt. Baumgras. I'VE are
sending them to Peking, Cuba, Haiti,
Santo Domingo and other foreign ports,
and all other applicants for original
enlistment are joining the marine corps
in order to obtain a free education at
the Marine Corps institute.
