RENOVATION OF
APPLE ORCHARD
Valuable Suggestions Made by Prof.
Watson.

According to Prof. O.. M. Watson,
of the University of Tennessee, Ten
nessee is particularly fortunately
situated for making money in the
production of apples. He points out
that the apple growers of the north
west who are making money out of
apples and who supply the great
bulk of apples offered on the mar
kets of the country are more than
5000 miles from the great markets
while Tennessee growers are within
500 miles of them. In view of this
Tennessee apple growers ought to be
able to make a good profit on savings
in freight alone, he says. He empha-
sizes the fact that just as good apples
as can be produced in any section of
thu country can be grown in practi-
d tly every county in the State. Prof.
Watson does not advocate the launch
ing of big exclusive orchard projects
but says that instead every farm
should have a few acres in apples and
other fruit trees as a side line and
that good money can be made in this
way provided the trees are properly
cared for by pruning and spraying.
In the renovation of the old or
chard Prof. Watson says that the
first thing to do is to clean it up. Not
by letting cattle and other livestock
pasture in it but by cutting down the
briars, weeds and dead limbs and
burning them, thereby getting rid of
insects and diseases which harbor in
such places. He advises against u.s.
ing the orchard for pasturing live
stock as they damage the trees more
than they do good by cleaning it up.
The next step in making over the
old orchard is the pruning out of
part of the top in order to let light
in to the inner branches of the trees.
Plenty of light in all parts of the tree
is necessary for the growing of fruits
as sunlight kills disease which at
tacks the branches and fruits. The
next and one of the most important
steps is spraying. San Jose scale
can only be controlled in this way
and is one of the worst orchard pests |
known.
For further information on spray
ing the orchard write the Division of |
Extension for Publication 96, SPRAY |

valuable pointers.

WHY BABY'S FIRST YEAR
is so IMPORTANT

Have you ever thought why SO
much attention is given to baby's
first year of life? The reason is be-
cause the baby's body develops faster
than at any other time of it's life.
Just compare the tiny new life, help
less, pink, soft and sleepy, which is
put into the mothers arms during
the first hours after birth, with the
sturdy. Growing, laughing child who
greets its first birthday. They scarce
ly seem the same at all, end this is
Natures method of development; it
is so wonderful, so delicate, and yet
so rapid that any interference with
Natures laws often means the loss
of the precious little life itself.
Sleep is baby's best time for devel
oping and growing, and so it needs
cheerful attention given to its sleep
ing places, and every sacrifice should
be made to have it's small bed sani-
tary, comfortable, and placed in
we'll ventilated place both day and
night. A separate bed for baby is
a NECESSITY even if it is home
made from a packing box.
Every baby should sleep alone.
Many babies are smothered by older
persons lying on them during the
night, and it is particularly wrong
for the baby to sleep with the
mother and thus by smell and touch
be kept awake often by the sugges-
tion of it's feeding time. OF course,
the baby must be made comfortable
in every way; kept dry, properly fed,
it's clothing loose but warm enough
in winter and cool enough in sum-
mer, and then it should be put in it's
crib alone in a quiet room, and left
to go to sleep. Rocking or jolting
it in any way is wrong, and no baby
will want this way of being put to
sleep if the practice is not begun.
In fact, the normal healthy baby will
go to sleep quite naturally if it is
trained to do so.
For the first few weeks, the baby
should sleep eighteen or twenty
hours out of the twenty-four; from
one month to one year it should
sleep at least sixteen hours, and, of
course, this means a regular day
time nap. This nap should NEVER
be interfered with, and baby should
never be kept awake" or wakened
up for any purpose whatever. Often
it is we'll for the baby to sleep out of
doors after he is month old, but he
should always be protected from flies
or MOSQUITOES by netting placed
over his crib, and he should be |
shielded, too, from any sudden drop
in temperature. Too much attention
cannot be given to the baby's sleep; |
it ranks in Importance with food as
a means of preserving baby's health |
and even its life.-Contributed by |

GOVERNMENT TO HELP FARMERS
High Glass Land Clearing Explosive
to be Furnished.

| Arrangements have been com.
pleted by the Bureau of Public
Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture with the Division Of
extension, University of Tennes-
see, whereby farmers of the State
will be furnished picric acid, high
class explosive surplus from wal
time at the cost of cartridging, box
ing and shipping. The total cost to
the farmer for picric acid per pound
laid down in Tennessee will probably
not exceed 10 cents per pound. This
is less than one half the present cost
of agriculture dynamite. At this
price the farmer will be able to clear
the land at one third the usual cost
of clearing land of stumps
All orders will be procured thru
the county agricultural agent or
thru farmers or business men ap-
pointed by him, therefore in order
to secure this explosive it will be nee
essary for the person wanting it to
place his order with the local county
agent or men appointed by him so
that cooperating, the people of the
county may have sufficient orders for
carload. No less than minimum
carload lots will be shipped. Persons
living in counties where no agent is
employed may place their orders with
the county agent in the adjoining
counties, and thus secure the picric
acid in his shipment, provided there
is carload order made up in his
county. No person will be allowed
over 1000 pounds.
Parties ordering picric acid should
accompany the order with check
covering the cost of the amount or
dered at the rate designated by the
agent. The check should be made
payable to the bank designated by
the agent and the order sent to the
county agent.

At Rest.

The path of life has ended for a
noble man, Edward Carlyle Ownby,
our kinsman, to me, from my earliest
recollection a brother. The news of
| his going. away was very great
shock, while we knew that his health
had been greatly impaired and his
giant mind thereby weakened we
were unprepared for the sad news of
his death. Ed will be missed by ev-
cry man, woman and child in Union
City, for every one was his friend.
He was easy of manner, very courte-
Gus, and while SO, was kingly in his
bearing. He had the soul of a poet,
his verses were ever ready to help
the bowed and broken hearted. He
was a musician of rare and excep-
tional genius. but like Stephens Col
Inns Foster, Americas premier bal
ladist," who was the author of one
hundred and seventy songs, includ-
ing The Old Folks at Home where
he tells us of the little Suanee River
here in our sunshine land where
millions of copies of his songs were
sold, his life was tragic one. He
has found rest from his labors, and
methinks when the day of resurrec-
ton dawns no soul will be purer or
more worthy to 'partake of the tree
of life and enter in through the
gates into the city" than Edward
Carlyle Ownby. B. e. c.

High Labor Costs
Cause Trade Loss
TO Jap Factories
BY CLARENCE DUBosE

Omitted Press Staff CoTespondent.)
Tokoyo, Dec. 2S.--The increasing
slump in Japanese exports is caus-
ing much worry in business and
commercial circles.
The foreign trade in silks, cottoh
goods and other important items Of
japanese manufacture has fallen off
greatly and the business men say
the end is not yet in sight.
The reason is that japanese
prices are so high and the reason
Japanese prices are so high is that
cheap labor here aas almost ceased
to exist.
In some lines, such as silk, artifi-
cial stimulation or maintanance OF
prices by government pools, or by
pools backed by great financial
groups, has been practiced. However
business men are working with con-
siderable alarm, whether this policy
is wise, how much longer it can
last and what will happen when it
ceases.
They face the fact that they are
losing trade while the initiation is
maintained, but that they will lose
much money with deflation.
The wave of lower prices that has
set in throughout the rest of the
world has not touched Japan. Liy-
ing costs are higher than in any
part of the world today. Laborers
refuse to return to pre-war scales
and are securing still further increas-
es in pay. Holders of merchandise
bought at boom prices refuse to
stand the loss" of readjustment and
hold out for a profit on the hign
prices they paid. The manufacturer,

REOPEN LIBRARIES IN
THE SOVIET CAPITAL
BY EDWIN w. HuLLINGER,

BY EDWIN W. HULLINGER,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Moscow, Dec. 2S.-Despite all its
difficulties Of civil war, the Bolshe-
vik government has opened 1000
public libraries in Moscow alone, ae-
cording to Citizeness Levchenskoya,
chief Librarian of the Moscow Cen
tral Workers Library.
These libraries which are organ
lied on the American plan, range
from tiny branches with only 1000
books, to Institutions with two and
three hundred thousand volumes,
she said. Russia has the distinction
of being the first European country
to adopt thee American library sys-
TEN.
The new libraries have not sue
ceeded thus far however, in their
original purpose of interesting the
proletariat in culture. Fewer work
men patronize the libraries now
than during the days of the Gar,
she said, owing to the fact that they
work longer and harder and have
less opportunity to read.
"The majority of our book borrow
ers are still the old intelligencia, {"
she explained. "The only difference
is they come less frequently. They
have neither time nor place to do
much reading. Their rooms are too
cold in the evenings and they are
generally too tired after the long
days work.
Citeness Levthchenskova said the
books for the Libraries were obtain
ed partly from confiscations of pri-
vate libraries of the rich, partly
from the few public libraries of the
old days, and partly by purchase
and donation. The libraries are
open six hours asday, six days a
week.
