ty, who was already keeping books on
his farm opration, assisted material
ly, give him new recognition because
of the publicity gwen him as farm
er who uses real business methods.
One man on passing by Mr.. Alleys
farm-which, by the way, is not a
large one-stopped and said: 81 I'M
derstand that you are doing things
right, out here. Tell me about your
farm and how you run it."
In making surveys in the interest
of the campaing Mr.. Stout found a
number of farmers who were practic-
ing poor business methods. On one
farm he found a potato house that
cost $75 to build but no potatoes
were grown on the place. He found
another farmer using 8 to 10 tons of
crushed limestone per acre when a
more economical application would
bring about the same results. He ex-
planned to the farmers that there was
nothing criminal about it--just bad
business. With this start agent Stout
hopes to spread the idea very substan.
tally in January next year. MI
Stout states that publicity given the
campaign through the newspapers was
great help in putting it across.

rhinr. To Do On the F.rm in April

Things To Do On the Farm in April
April is a busy month for farm
ers in Tennessee. 1t is planting
time for MANY crops and the farmer
who has spent most time during the
winter months in making plans and
getting everything about the place
in readiness for this period will find
that things run much more smoothly
than the farm1r who has put every
thing off to the last minute.
The following activities for the OPP
erations in the field, with livestock,
ETC., are suggested by specialists of
the Division of Extension:
In the Field
Plant silage crops near the silo
to reduce the haul You need two
fields, one for corn and sorghum,
and the other for barley followed
by crimson clover. ) Alternate these
crops on the two fields. Plant corn
a little thicker than you would for
grain growing and add to pounds
of sorghum per acre in the same
row. AS soon as silage is cut, SOW
barley. Work the other field very
thoroughly and sow crimson clover
to be pastured and turned under il
preparation for silage crop mex
spring.

With Good And Large Results

With Good And Large Results
More and more farmers are realiz-
ing that they must keep some kind of
a record on their farming operations.
Hundreds are finding that farm book
eeping is essential to efficient farm
management.
Here again the county agent now
employed by many counties in cooper
alton with tine Division of Extention
University of Tennessee, are render
ing valuable service to the farm
ers. During the month of January
Agent D. Sout conducted "Put Bus
mess Int Farming" campaign in
Hamblen county with very gratifying
results.
Twenty-Five farmers agreed to keep
record this year and Mr. Stout assist
ed them in taking inventories and in
making a general survey of their
farming operations. The bankers of
the county took an active part in the
campaign. They supplied Mr.. Stout
with very simple book in which the
farmers can keep a record of their
RECEIPTS and expenses. One year from
the date the inventories were made
the business of the year will be ena-
lized according to the bank provided
in Farmers, Bulletin No.1159.
This will bring the work of the year
graphically to mind so that the farm
ers may see all the sources of their
income what nets Most, where their
labor goes and where the week places

Hyattsville, Md.-John Bonac-

rooster that can "shimmie' and

make many human jazz devotees
envious, according to Mr.. Bon

have music to do his best, like
any other dancer.
Accompanied by little jazz
the "Old boy" can tear off a nice

said today.
1.-THE farmers Of the west are
greatly concerned over present ruin
ous freight rates." said Capper, they
want something done to reduce them,
they say. The rates go up and rail
roads continue to assert they are un-
able to put them on a paying basis.
The present rate means the small
shipper can't send his products to
market and make any money.
"Thpre, is much sentiment among
the farmers for repeal of the guar
antee provision or the railroad law
and for an amendment to appoint the
interstate commerce commission to
