Farmers Who Provide Green Feeds
Make Money With Hogs

Many farmers in Tennessee seeded
rye and crimson clover last August
and several have seeded spring oats
and rape for hogs. Those who have
one this are making profit out of
hogs today, while those who do not
have a crib full of corn, say special
lists of the Division of Extension. The
farmer VIII has green feed raises his
feeder pigs, while the farmer who has
a crib of corn and no green feed has
been buying his feeder pigs hereto
fore. He says today that he cannot
afford to feed hogs What he really
means to say is that the other fell
low will not sell out, for his business
is making hih money. Feeder pigs
are scarce; corn is plentiful, but
these fellows who raise their pigs and
produce greed feed have the inside

FREAK SUGAR NOT VALUABLE
Can Be Made From Corncobs and
Straw, but Poor Food, Says
University Expert.

Lafayette. Ind.-Making sugar from
corncobs, straw, sawdust and other
materials which have been suggested
by chemists at various times recently
is quite possible, but there is ques-
tion as to whether such sugar has any
real food value, according to Presi-
dent w. Il. Stone of Purdue university.
President Stone before becoming
head of the university was a chemist
and was considered an authority on
sugars.
81 prepared sugar from corncobs
from straw and from sawdust in 1895"
said President Stone. "These have an
entirely different constitution and be-
havior from the ordinary sugars OF
commerce. These sugars are not sub
ject to fermentation and the substance
from which they are derived, found
in corncobs and straw, did not appear
to be digestible when fed TO animals,
as some experiments of mine seem to
show conclusiyely. So far as the phys
Illogical value of these substances or
the sugars derived from them, is con-
cerncd the results of the research in
Gicate that they have little value.

Demand for Terracing Increased by
Denomination of it's Value On
MANY Farms

The demand for terracing in White
County has increased more than 300
per cent in the last year according to
County Agent, H w. Andrews.
Every demonstration that has been
held has brought definite results and
farmers have come to me stating that
they were going to terrace all of their
washing lands" he says. Two far
mers in the county claim that a few
terraces which they have been worth
more than 500 to them in the saving
of soil fertility. One of the magis-
trates in his county who had always
been opposed to extension work was
converted to the value of the county
agent by a demonstration on his farm.
Since Mr.. Andrews began terracing
he has been able to get next to some
of the farmers in hiliy sections Of
the country that were opposed to the
work heretofore.
Some of the advantages of terrac-
ing are:
1t saves the soil. The loss thru
soil washing amount to many thous-
ads of dollars annually in West Ten
nessee, large areas being made value
less. Terracing prevents soil from
washing; helps hold and conserve the
moisture; prevents flooding the bot
toms; keeps the hillsides subsoil off
the productive bottoms; controls the
water so that one can lime and ma
nure the hillside without having it
washed away and enables one to build
up the humus content of the soil.
The deserts of Tennessee are the
washing hillsides. They receive water
but it does not soak in, SO to rs per
cent running off, carrying the humus
and soil with it. 1t takes as inches
Of water to grow 6 tons of alfalfa
1t takes II inches of water to grow
SIS bushels of corn. One-half of the
dry matter of plants is made up OF
water and its constituents land sc
per cent of green weight is water
If only 18 inches of water falls anc
one half of that runs off during the
cropping season we should not expect
heavy yield. The terrace turns the
desert lands of Tennessee into pro
ductive areas.
Water controlled is wealth, uncon'
trolled is waste; the evidence Of which
is seen all over Tennessee. Terrac
ing controls water.

Fruit Growers Should Ascertain
Freezes Loss and Spray If
Crops Warrant

Fruit growers in the section affect
ed by the recent freeze should ascer-
tain Immediately the damage to their
orchards in order that they may know
what spraying will be needed, say
specialists of the Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee. With
out this knowledge they may loose
money by failing to spray when there
is enough of a crop left to warrant it,
or waste money by spraying when the
crop his been destroyed.
The extent of the damage must
first be ascertained, it is said. OF
course, as the season advances and the
bud develop it is easier for the grower
to gauge the PROJECT for a crop; but
for some time Immediately after tse
freeze it is necessary for him to make
a careful and painstaking canvass Of
the whole orchard inspecting each va
riety of fruit in every part of the tree
to determine the damage done. This
is done by splitting the buds, the CEN
tiers of which will be blackened and
the stems discolored, if the frost was
fatal.
Where there is enough of the crop
left to Justify spraying, this operation
should by all means not be neglected
as the shortage of the crop will prob.
ably result in prices that will make
the expense unusually worth while
Publication No. SO, "Spray the Or
chard" issued by the Division of Elk
tension, say that for all diseases OF
the peach, plum and cherry, for ap
pie cab, and for Gale insects on frul'
trees of all kinds, use lime-sulphul
solution. For scale insects (San Jost
scale, oyster shell bark houe, etc) th'
concentrated solution-1 part solution
to parts water-is applied while thu
tree is dormant. If the trees are
badly infected, as when the limbs are
entirely intrusted with scale-one ap
plication should be made as soon al
the leave drop in the fall, and sec
ond application in the spring, Febru
airy to March, when the buds swell bu
before they open. This dorman
spray will unusually control the leaf
curl of peach as well as the scale in
sect and at last partially control can
ker of various kinds 5on the apple.

Flowering Shrubs Need Pruning as
Much as Fruit Trees

Flowering Shrubs need pruning as
much as fruit trees, says Charles A.
Keffer, Director, Division of Exten-
sion. The early blooming shrubs
such as the deutzias, mock orange
Towering current, callicarpa, caiycan-
thus or sweet shrub, white fringe, for
sythia of golden bell, Kerria, the bush
honeysuckle, all varieties of roses, gol-
den elder, the snowballs, the spiraces
and Weigela, all require heavy prun-
ing for best results. The best time to
prune them is as soon as the bios
some fade. If pruned now they will
have the entire season in which to
make the new growth that bears the
flower buds. If pruned heavily in
winter much the greater part of the
new wood is cut away, and all the
shrubs named produce their flowers
on shoots made the previous season.
1t is never best to cut back orna-
mental shrubbery to a fixed line, I'M
less it is planted as hedge. Instead
with most of the varieties named,
some new shoots should be encourage
ed from the ground and the remain
der should be pruined at varying
heights, so that the entire shrub will
be covered with new growth
The following qunincea or aponica
has been unusually beautiful this
spring. 1t is related to the apple, and
it's Towering habit is the same, pro-
ducing its bloom on short spurs dis
tributed on wood more than one year
old. Hence this shrub should be
thinned SO as to jermit light to reach
every part freely without making any
large openings in the shrub.
The lilacs bloom on the new wood,
but the blossom buds are at the ends
of the shoots, and care is required in
their pruning. The best plan is to
have each shrub made up of several
main trunks from the ground, the
oldest trunks being five or six years
old, and from one to three trunks Of
four, three, two, and one year When
the oldest trunks become enfeebled
cut them off at the. ground, and cut
away all new ground shoots except
two or three each year. The lilac
/, can be trained tree shape, with sim
gle trunk if desired; in which case
the branches should be thinned just
after blooming.
! Roses require very heavy pruning
AS soon as the hybrid perptuals, such
as Paul Neyron and Gen. Jacequemi-
, not, have bloomed, cut them to the
! ground Immediately after blooming

POTATO SHOW
PROMISES MUCH
First Steps Towards Standard
ization of Industry in North
west to be Taken in Spokane

A variety of remarkable construc-
tive detectives are interviewer in the
Pacific Northwest Potato show at
Spokane, December 14-16. When these
are grasped many will be at loss
to understand why the live business
men engaged in the production of
potatoes have allowed matters to lag
in regard to organization and edu-
cation on lines so vital to the perm
anent success and expansion of their
great industry.
1t seems difficult to understand why
the Pacific Northwest should send four
millions of dollars annually to east
ern states for seed potatoes when sec
tons Of this country have soil, alti-
tude and climatic conditions to pro-
duce the finest seed potatoes in the
world. This is a fact, demonstrated
by years of practical experience.
The juncture is ripe for expansion of
the seed potato industry in the Pacific
Northwestern states on huge scale.
Another anomaly is the effort by
dry land potato growers to compete
in the production of table potato stock
with producers in irrigated areas
whose yield is normally four or five
times greater. Thousands of acres
of these dry lands raise superb seed
potatoes and the limited production
will net the grower larger return
than the highest producing acre-of ir-
rigated stock. The irrigation grower
needs high grade seed, the dry land
grower can produce this seed, and
both will profit hugely as result of
the proposed Encouragement of activ-
tiles.
To stimulate the best practice in
potato production it is desirable that
producers of seed potatoes and buyers
should have actual personal contact.
The show viii afford that opportun-
ity.
Commercial growers will find in
the show wonderful opportunity to
educate the consumer as to the diff
ference between high grade healthy
potatoes and the common type of in
ferior quality. Once the public is adj
vised on this subject there will be
unanimous demand for high grade
table stock with satisfactory results
from the growers standpoint.
These are among the advantages
to accrue from the Pacific Northwest
Potato show. 1t will be new and po-
tent factor in a rapidly growing
northwestern agricultural industry.
