Things to do on the Farm in Jam
uary

Things to do on the Farm in Jan
uary
Behind every industry of business
that prospers there is certain
amount of planning ahead and sys-
TEN. One of the great needs of the
farming indusTy at the present time
is more farmers who can and will
plan ahead, keep accounts and put
system into the business. In other
words the farmer should put the
same business principle into practice
on his farm that the merchant does
in running his store. The begin
ming of the new pear is a good time
to begin putting business into farm
ing. The specialists of the Division
of Extension make the following sug-
gestioDs Of things to do on the farm
in January:
With the crops-Put system into
your cropping. Get on the solid
foundation of lime, phosphate, le-
gumes and manure for profitable
crops. Grow big crops and not
small ones; the heavier the top
growth, the more roots and stubble
are left for the soil. umper crops
well lined, fertilized, and rotated,
add vegetable matter to the SOIL
the bigger they grow the more they
add. You can start the crop rota-
ton almost any time of the year.
Why not the first part?
Buildings ande kEquipment1~eee

ing plans for the year Repair, paint
and get machinery in order. Saw
lumber for new buildings, tie and
lace betting.
Livestock-Give stockers abund-
ance of roughage and to 2 pounds
of cotton seed meal per head daily.
Give plenty of salt and water mot
ice water) Breed cows, which are
to fresh in the fall, to purebred bull.
Keep dairy cattle well protected from
cold winds and rains. Weigh and
test milk each month. Study feeds.
Add variety to liberal rations. Pro
vide a few individual lambing pens
feet square. To insure strong,
healthy lambs, exercise and proper
feed for ewes in winter are essential.
Plan to feed out a carload of steers
for the Annual Fat Stock Show,
Nashville, Tennessee next December.

Agricultural Committee Urges Coun
ty Agents

The agricultural committee of the
Tennessee Bankers Association met
recently in Nashville for the purpose
of discussing methods of encouraging
and extending the development of
agriculture in the state. The com
mittee agreed that the employment
of county demonstration agents was
the most effective medium through
which to interest the farmers. In
certain counties where the courts
have been unwilling to appropriate
sufficient funds to pay the agents,
the banks have advanced the differ
ence.
The committee also discussed the
foreign tenant problem. The en-
couragement of good tenants to be-
come land owners was approved.
The meeting was presided over by
G. P. Adams, vice-president of the
First and Manufacturers Bank of
Hartman.

Community Affairs-Join county
council of agriculture. Attend COM
munity meetings, short CT rses and
institutes.
A good book---George Washington,
Farmer-Haworth.
Marketing-pisee orders for fer
tilizer, seeds, hampers, crates and
other materials that will be needed
in spring and cary summer. Railroad
transportation and labor troubles of
the manufactures make deliveries un-
certain. Delay in ordering may mean
inability to secure supplies which are
vitality necessary,
Home eeonoTnics-Arrange the
kitchen to save steps. Plan the
housework by the day or the week,
so that you can economize in time
and labor. Replenish the supply Of
household and table linens at the
January white sales.
Your health-2Investigate the san
itary conditions surrounding the fam
ily's drinking water to be sure It is
pure. Have the mater tested.

Chicago, Jan. 1-Several scattered

made and small quantity of liquor
was seized.
For the most part, the observ-

for its lack of boisterous revelry

1920, but has spent most of her life
in the state Of Georgia.
She remembers very distinctly
when the STARS FELL" Nov. IL, 1888,
and says it was one of the most beau
tiful and exciting events fher life.
She also remembers what was term
ed as "The Cold Saturday." Feb. Ia

known in the south. Very large
trees froze from base to top and
when they broke it sounded like the
report of cannon.
She was we'll acquainted with the
