West Tennessee Experiment Station
This Year Resumes Instructive
County Days.

terested in the Henry County Day at
the West Tennessee Experiment Sta

pertaining to agriculture in Henry
County will be discussed, and ex-
periments of Henry County agricul-
tural problems explained.
These county experiment days,
which proved so popular and bene
ficial to farmers of West Tennessee
in 1915, 1916, 1917, were discon-
tinued the past three years on ac-
count of the war, but widespread
demand has caused them to be re-
sumed. 1t is lEely that number
of farmers from this county will go
to Jackson July 8, to attend the
event
In a circular letter which Mr.. H.
s. Nichols, district agent, is sending
out, he has the following to say
about these County Days:
"On account of the war, we were
obliged to discontinue County Days
at the West Tennessee Experiment
Station during 1918, 1919, 1920. We
are now reviving them and we are
expecting you, your family, your
neighbors, and other farmers of your
county to be with US on a day above
set aside for your county.
Arrangements have been made
to secure the specialists of the Divis-
ion of Extension for this occasion,
and we are planning to put on all
or most of the following practical
demonstrations: Grading sweet po.
tatoes; treating both sweet and Irish
potatoes for disease, such as scab,
black rot ETC.; treating grain for
smut; inoculation clover seed, spread
ing lime; tractor plowing; terracing;
Judging hogs, cattle and horses;
spraying and pruning fruit trees;
handling bees; and preparation of a
| field each day for alfalfa, showing
every operation including testing soil
for acidity. You will also see the
construction of sweet potato stor-
age house, hay rack, concrete, a
poultry house, and we hope to have
good farm implement display,
Besides the above, some interesting
| features will be arranged for the
women and girls.

you can come to the Experiment
Station and see all the work of this

All of this will be explained.

pleasant day. You can bring your
dinner or it can be bought on the

thoughtful consideration by public

who feel that the school question"
is perhaps the biggest question fac
ing this county today.
Prospective candidates for election
on the school board are doing much

.STORER VOICES
FAREWELL HOPE
TO YOUNG FOLKS
Concludes Pastorate and Delivers
Farewell Sermon Here Next
Sunday Morning,
KEEN REGRET AMONG
PARIS YOUNG PEOPLE
Makes Plea for Encouragement of
Ideals and Ambitions of the
Young People Here.

DR.. j. w. Storer, who will deliver
his farewell sermon here next Sun
day morning as pastor of the First
Baptist Church of this city, having
resigned to accept charge in
Greenwood, Miss, where he goes
the first of July, has won his way
into the hearts of the young people
of Paris, and it is they particularly.
outside his immediate devoted con-
gregation, who regret his departure
1t is the same little story of what
made the lamb love Mary so, be-
cause Mary loved the lamb, you
know" because DR.. Storer Is espe-
cially interested in the young people
of Paris, and upon leaving he ex-
presses himself to this paper about
some things that he would like to
see done for the young people of the
town.
'Above all, let the Christian men
and women of Paris, drop camou-
flage and live a shining example
for the young people," says DR..
Storer, who suggests a Big Brother
Movement here for the boys of
Paris. Let this be an organized
movement among the Christian busi-
ness men to foster and encourage
worthy ideals and ambitions among
the boys of Paris" he explains.
Let each man designate, say two
lads, for whom he would seek to be
responsible, not to spy upon, but
to be ready with a lift and advice,
and above all, with interest particu-
larly in them.
THE results, for the boy, would
be feeling of pride in the man
who was helping, and a sustaining
knowledge that he cared for the
sponsor, a straighter walk, because
some lad was watching"
DR.. Storer struck a key note, when
he said in this interview that "some
of the wealth that goes out of
Paris over seas for foreign missions.
might be well spent for home mis-
sions in Paris" and that Paris
ought to have a rest house and
recreaticnal club for her young men,
with reading rooms, shower baths
and etc"
Nothing is done here for the
single fellows, who work for the
l.. q N. now, except take his coin.
(What truth DR.. Storer speaksD
If he goes wrong he is blamed-we
bless him out-but we do precious
little to lead him away from tempta-
ton" 1t is DR.. Storer's opinion that
these railroad boys mean great
deal to the town, and that the town
ought to do more for them than
take their coin earned by the sweat
of the brow" He says, broadly
speaking the problem of the girl is
the problem of the boy, but seems
to think that the boy in Paris is
the immediate problem of the
future.
DR.. Storer wants to see the Boy
Scouts here reorganized with an ac.
tive leader, who can devote great
deal of time to the lads, and he
suggests summer Boy Scout Camp
for two weeks, say at White Oak.
He thinks the Rotary and Lions
Clubs will ultimately mean much to
the town, and suggests among other
things that they sponsor the library
and make it one to be proud of.

CIVIC PLAYERS WILL PRESENT
TWO PLAY READINGS IN HIGH
SCHOOL AUDITORIUM TONIGHT

Two plays, in the form of play-read-
ings, will be presented this evening
at Sis O'Clock, at the high school au-
ditorium, by the Civic Players of the
Warren District. The production OF
these plays is one of the regular Fri
day evening entertainments for the
University of Arizona summer school,
and the public is invited.
In play-reading, the play is stag
ed and acted in normal manner ex-
cept that the actors have manuscripts
with them and read the parts. This
is done to save time and to enable
the players TO tamiliariZe themselves
with, and to present, dramatic works
that would take otherwise a vast
amount of preparation. The p:ay
loses little if any of its effectiveness
by this method, as the presentation
of other play-readings by the civic
players has demonstrated.
The first play, 1.-The Person in the
Chair" is dramatic work by Frances
Shaw. 1t is problem play that holds
the interest of the audience ~ tie
unusual but tense situations present
ed. The second play, Joint Owners
in Spain," is a comedy by Alice
Brown. The setting is an old ladies'
home. The comedy is brought to
climax when two inmates of the Home,
who are uncomfortable to everybody,
are put together and left to fight II
