advantage in late summer. fall or early
winter. 1t will seldom, If ever, pay to
put on less than ton to the acre, and

BIG VALUE OF FOREST TREES
Material Supplied for Use on Farm,
Such as Poles and Wood-Pro-
tect Live Stock.

Forest trees grown on the farm add
to its value and beauty. They supply
material for farm use, such as poles,
posts and cordwood; and they afford
shelter for live stock, and protect
crops and buildings from the hot
winds of summer and the cold winds
Of winter. Moreover, they often can
be grown successfully on soils too poor
or on slopes too steep for the success

tural crops.

INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY
Element May Be Added by Proper
Soil Treatment, Rotation Of
Crops and Phosphate.

The supply Of nitrogen, the most
costly element of food for plants, can
be increased through proper soil
treatment, rotation Of crops. the adj
dition Of phosphate and limestone and
the growing and blowing under Of
legumes. All stable manure is to be
utilized, and on the older, worn soils
of the East and South some CONNER
cial nitrogen may be profitably used.
Following crop that is heavy nitro
gen consumer with one that is light
user is good farm practice.

Keeping Account of Feed Given to
Cows Is Necessary to Determine
Cost Of Producing Milk.

fairly representative of many Middle
Western cities.
The investigation covered seven
companies, which sold about 16,5OO,OOO
quarts of milk and cream in 1920, or
approximately IS per cent Of the total
quantity consumed. The companies
ranged in size from very small one
wagon concern up to the largest, which
operated 40 milk routes.
From the point Of view of the farm
er and the consumer. the important
question is, What does 1t cost to han
die the milk from the farm to the
consumer? The cost of raw milk was
between 63 per cent and Is per cent
of the total cost Of the milk as it
reaches the consumer.
During the period under study the
retail price Of Grade A milk in Co
lumbus, as quoted by the dealers in
vestigated, ranged from Is cents to
14.5 cents per quart, though during
1920 the two small dealers sold their
milk, which comes from tuberculin-
tested cows, for Is cents per quart.
At the same time the wholesale price
of milk ranged from IL cents to 12A
cents.
The average number of customers
per route in 1920 ranged from 1859 to
297, and the number of quarts per
wagon ranged from 17S to 1878, the
average being 262. It is noteworthy
that the most profitable company was
the one having the largest average
wagonload.

TEACH YOUNG BULL TO LEAD
Calf Can Be Halter Broken With
Little Effort II Taken In Hand at
Right Time.

A bull that is to be kept for service
should be taught to lead while he is a
small calf. He can be halter broken
at this time with few minutes effort.
He should not only be taught to lead
without a tight rope, but also should
be taught to stand. If given this les

is led out for visitors to look over or
to be photographed, he makes a much
better appearance.

MAY BE TURNING POINT

With the pitchers showing real
stuff for the first time this season,
it looks like the Moleys are off for
some consistent winning, now, If
the attacking power can only hold
up. Gallagher has gotten a couple
of brilliant games out of his sys-
tenn the past two starts; Phil Nor
rison showed some sensational
pitching Sunday and Doc Newton,
who has been steadier than any
of them all season shows no signs
of weakening. If either Whitley or
Eberhard can round to form, the
Barons should keep above the 500
mark for the rest ot the stretch.
Moley has good ball club, and If
they stick to the business of play
ing ball, they will be away up there
at the finish, providing of course
the pitchers come through with the
consistently they have been show
ing the past few days.
In Sumpter Clarke Moley has the
most valuable utility man in the
league, and player any manager
in the circuit would be glad to get
hold. Stump is not the most brill
liant outfielder in the world, but
he is sure. He has played third,
first and second on the infield.
Monday he subbed for Stuffy
Stewart, who was out with a broken
finger, and he looked after the key
stone in fine style during Stuffy's
enforced absence.

Appeal for Charity

My attention has been called to
the destitute circumstance of
some people in the county. Some
are widows with children, and
some are cases where the father
and mother, besides being desti-
tute are in wretched health. In
behalf of them / ask the good
people of McNairy county who
are blessed with health, happiness
and greater prosperity than these
unfortunates, to donate to them
clothing and shoes that you do
not expect to wear any more. In
many cases you have good cloth
ing and shoes which your child
rem have outgroWn. These can
be used. Many children use the
old schoolbooks which your child
rem have completed. Send any
thing te me that you want to do
nate and will keep a record of
it. ! am sure application from
worthy people will come in great
er numbers than we can fill.
The surplus in the home of
those able to help is big enough
to warm the feet of every little
child, to clothing them comfort
ably during the winter and to
keep all from going hungry.
Start your donations and keep
them coming.
Yours truly,
TERRY ALTERNATELY,
