The. entire force Of specialists sofs
the division of extension, University
of Tennessee will assist in the cam
paign, including J. M. Dean, district
agent, Middle Tennessee, l.. A. Rich
ardson, live stock specialist, G. A.

X +. Peck, commissioner of agricul-' 4
ture, DR.. X. C. Davis of Peabody
College, M. O. Cooper secretary of
the Tennessee Beef Breeders Asso-
citation and ]. A. Brandon, president
of the Tennessee Sheep Breeders
Association will also cooperate in the
drive, and leading dairymen and hog
raisers and all others interested in
working out this important problem
will be urged to lend their assistance.
The plan of the campaign is to
assign three speakers to each county,
a farmer, business man and an agri-
cultural expert. The speakers will
give one entire day exclusively to
each county, they being arranged in
teams and assigned to certain coun-
ties.
By this campaign it is hoped, that
the farmer may be interested and en-
couraged in getting his farm to oper-
ating on a post war basis, which in
the light of new conditions and new
problems is quite different from what
it was previou to 1914.
1t is also hoped that from the dis
eussions planned some points of prac-
tical value to the farmers which will
enable them to meat their problems
more satisfactorily will be derived. /
Another point which it is hoped will
be worked out is the rehabilitation of
the live stock enterprise in order that
the farmer, may more SATISFACTORILY
meet fhe ptofitable marketfng Of his
hay, grain and roughage produced on
the farm through live stock. Too, this
will naturally involve a proper balance
ing of crops and live stock which
have an interdependcnt relationship
in the management of any successful
farm.
