ant Office in the county and under the
present law he is terribly handicapped
in the performance Of his duties. The
law makes it duty Of the Assessor to
20 on the premises and examine every
piece or realty to be assessed and fixes
q penalty of not less than So and not
more than $40 for each failure to do so.
1t further makes it his duty to see
every taxpayer personally and take bis
statement as to values. And 1t fixes a
compensation that Is not sufficient to

see that the county wouldbe the'gainer
of 1t paid the Assessor q reasonable SAL
airy, and gave him an Office in the court
house and compelled him to givetwelve
months to the work of his office. The
J need OF this action is further emphacis-
ed by the fact that very great many
pieces Of property are now not assessed
at all ana the Trustee finds them By in
quiry from their owners at his office.
OF course he collects such taxes when
the are found, but If property owner
does not ask him about taxes on Atuch
unassassed property the state and coun-
ty lose on i, and the. Trustee advises US
that there are many more such pieces
of unassessed property this year than
ia the past. The work of the Assessor
should be so arranged that he could do
ALL the work himself and shoulder
ALL the responsibility instead Of having
a dozen deputies with as many differ
ent ideas as to values.

To determine the effect certain eco
nomic factors have upon the welfare
of rural communities. the Division OF
Extension, University Of Tennessee, in
cooperation with the National Child
Welfare Committee, made survey OF
fourteen communities scattered
throughout Tennessee in 1920.
The factors considered were tenancy,
diversifcation Of crops, livestock and
soil fertility. One of the most out
standing results determined by the
survey is that the growing Of any one
crop exclusive of others lends itself
readily to the increase In a shifting
tenancy with the resulting train Of
economic and social evils. The first
and most pronounced of these is a dis
regard for the soil and farm improve
ment on the part Of both tenant and
the land owner, and close second is
the Unstable business conditions based
upon a vicious credit system that ex-
lists where onecpp farming is fol-
lowed
\ Tenancy, in itself. is not all bad
There arc always three partners TO be
considered in any tenant contract, the
land, the tenant, and the owner. In
any good system all three are bene-
flted directly. The soil as well as the
owner may be benefited The tenant
may improve his financial condition
and may In time become an owner.
Indirectly the community reflects the
condition.
Almost half Of the land in Tennessee
is handled directly by families who do
not own it and who move bkannually.
There is no incentive or opportunity
for Improvement Of the soil the farm
or the community. The sections grow
ing tobacco, cotton, corn, peanuts, etc..
to an extreme, have suffered most.
There are cultivated crops which are
removed from the land In the fall,
leaving the season when the tenant
leaves. The land needs to be covered
IN winter by small grain ana needs
clover and grass at regular intervals
The existing system Of short tenure
prohibits the growing of these crops
since the tenant cannot move them
when he moves.
For profitable growth soil building
crops require lime which cannot be
applied economically for one seasons
use; the benefit extending over
period of years The moving tenant
Is only interested In immediate re-
suits. Many soils need phosphate In
more liberal amounts, some need ter
racing, and some thing, others need to
be sown to permanent pasture or to
be planted In black locust for post
timber. All need manure. The bene-
fits of these are cumulative over O
period of years and seldom pay for
themselves the first year.

1t ID a mere fact Of disagreement be-

Since an advertisement in these
columns two weeks ago by ye editor
wanting to buy registered Durocs he
has had literally dozens of offers Of "
thorobred" Durocs, but whose sires and
registered dams have not b zen and may
beno ancestor for several generations.
and yet one man asked as $25 each for 4
months old pigs of this kink. The
above places increased emphasis on the
value of a really registered animal.
"Thorobreds" that so many men offer
'assvalaabls are worth just as much
az the veriestl scrubs, ID far as SELL,
Ing. them for registered animals goes,
Many man has lost immeasrrabley BY
not.keeging up his line of registration
on this blooded stock and the sooner
we come to realize the real value in
dollars and cents of these lines, the
better off many. of US will be. The
writer has seen some good locking red
hogs the past week that are worth no
more than any kind of crosses when it
comes to the purposes we want them
for. We don't want to buy any thing
whose sire and dam are nor BOTH re-
gistersd, AMI no bred animal unless she
is bred to a registered sire.
