Farmers Urged To Attend
The Short Course in Agri-
COlture AT U. of I.

Inc ONOfI course III ARTlCul-
ture given by the University OF
Tennessee Knoxville, will begin
January 2 and end February IL.
1t is free to all TennesseanS.
While a considerable number
of young farmers have attended
the Short Course in the past
years, many more are urged to
attend DR. TAFT Butler, editor
of the Progressive Farmer, says,
There are few farmers who
would not find it a good invest
ment to attend one of these
short courses. No farmer is too
old to 90 to This sort Of practical
school. The average man is apt
to think there is nothing of
practical value he can get from
one of these short courses at an
agricultural college which will be
of real value in dollars and cents
but he is mistaken. Those who
have never attended such a
school are not good judges of its
value. The best judges are
those who have taken such a
short course, and they almost
universally agree that the invest
ment is a good one. Helpful
instructions will be given on
soils, crops, fertilizers, injurious
insects, and crop diseases. In
animal husbandry breeds of live
stock ond Judging, feeds and
feeding, growing of forage crops.
and diseases of livestock will be
studied. Special attention will
also be given to dairying. includ-
ing breeds of dairy cattle, forage
and silage crops milk and milk
testing, dairy machinery and
butter-making. Ti.ere will also
be a course in horticulture, in
cluding a study of truck and
fruit csops, and their cultivation
and management, Grating,
pruning, spraying, diseases, etc.,
will also be taught.
In short, the value of such a
course is, it seems to US. so ap-
parent that it is strange that
1000 farmers do not go to it
every year. Never before in the
history of the world was it so
necessary to have accurate and
definite knowledge of any busi-
ness to get the most out of it.
and this is. becoming more par
ticularly true of farming as the
years go by.
But the best part of a short
course in agriculture to the aver.
age young farmer is that he
learns something of what there
is to be known about his business
and he also usually gets a desire
to know more about farming and
learns how he can do this by his
own efforts. He simply gets the
desire to know as much about
his business and make as great
success of it as anyone else, and
the wonder is that anyone should
have less ambition than this in
his life work.

BIG FIGHT TAKES PLACE
in YUBY DAM, XMAS.
Chief of Police and Marshall
Killed. Mayor Owens
Seriously Wounded.
Yuby Dam, U. S. A.

Special to Sentinel:
This place was slightly Jared
early Xmas morning by the sud-
den advent of a squad of gun
men and desperadoes from Blue
Cut Ruin, who tanked up on
wood alcohol and bootleg liquor
and pounced down upon our
town, it seemed for no other
purpose than to intimidate and
tterrify cur citizens.
They fired the lower end of
town as they came in, and then
entered upon a general killing.
The town marshal and chief of
police were killed outright, and
a dozen others fatally wounded,
that didn'tlive more than a min
ute. Bare. Footed Owens, the
mayor, was beaten into apricot
jelly and otherwise maltreated.
Little Jimmy Slim. his assistant,
had billed shirt" stamped off
Of him, and a score of others
have failed to answer the roll
call since the fight.
OF course in the general mix
up several of the Blue Cut Ruin
gang bit the dust, and about q
third of the gang was cut of
from the others and crowded
over on the northern tin of the
Sink-Hole Farm and forced to
jump into Sink-Hole No. Q to
keep from being shot.
This is not the first time that
gang has broken in upon us and
tried to depopulate our town.
We usually divide the fun with
them, but we are getting tired
of the game. The people Of
this town are getting very sore
toward the hoodlums of Blue
Cut Ruin. They are becoming
