That no single factor is more i'm
portant in improving lambs than tho
use OF purebred rams was demonstrate
ed recently by an experiment carried
on by the Middle Tennessee Experiment
Station, at Columbia, In a comparative
test Of four different breeds of pure
bred rams used on common ewes.
The station produced 70 lambs In
the experiment which sold for pre-
MUM. They were graded on May II
by a representative of the Nashville
Union Stock Yards, and were placed 10
the three grades. as follows: Prime,
So; good, -. medium, 10. The grader
stated that only two lambs would not
go as tops, and that the entire bunch,
no matter who bought them or who
shipped them, would bring a premium
OF at least 50 cents over the ordinary
run Of Tennessee lambs on the Nash
Vile market, which they did when
shipped, bringing $13.25 per hundred
pounds
The purpose OF the experiment, az
stated by Prof. c. A. Wilson, director
of the station, was, among other
things, to give additional Information
concerning the use Of purebred rams

They were fat and. therefore, quito
smooth They had made an average
daily gain Of 798 of a pound per head
They were the heaviest lambs at birth.
Too, the Hampshire led all breeds In
total average weight, the average
for the 20 head being S1.8 pounds.
The 10 head of Oxford lambs made
the largest daily gains, the average
being STA Of a pound. lsAas>- * a. .
weight was 79.4 pounds per head. The
Oxford breed is the result Of a cross
between the Hampshire and Cotswold,
which combines size and fleece, say
the advocates of this breed.
Each bunch of ewes was weighed.
The ewes bred to Southdown ram
averaged LIT pounds and gained SO
pounds. The ewes bred to the Shrop-
shire ram averaged 100 pounds, and
gained, from August 14th to May 2Sth,
20 pounds. The Hampshire bred ewes
averaged 123 pounds, and gained 22.5
pounds. The Oxford ewes averaged
119 pounds and gained 236 pounds.
All the ewes had the same treat.
ment. Each lot was permitted to stay
in pasture only two weeks; a contlu.
uous rotation was kept up. There was
about the same number of long tailed
ewes, black-faced and yellow and
white faced ewes In each lot. Orig
inaly the ewes weighed ABOUT tho
same.
This information will give Tennessee
flock masters additional information
about breeds of sheep, each breeder
drawing his own conclusions from the
fact presented. 1t can also be seen
from these figures that it only stands
to reason that no sheep owner can at
ford to use an inferior ram.
Tennessee Lan,bs Best.
The market for Tennessee lambs has
been a triumph for sheep growers of
the state this year. Under the mosl
adverse conditions for the last 10 years
Tennessee lambs have brought salts
factory return. selling from 81 to 81
higher than western lambs. Where
proper care is given the lambs pro-
duced in This state are excelled by
none, and only equalled In condition ey
the Kentucky and Virginia crop.
In the light of the remarkable nat
ural advantages, the wonderful adapt
ability OF Tennessee to the business OF
sheep raising. il is difficult to under
stand why sheep are not raised in
larger numbers by more farmers.
Sheep have their place on every we'll
regulated farm. There is scarcely
county in Tennessee in which the
sheep population has not suffered 4
frishtful decrease during the past de-
caGe. which is a condition that should

OF different breeds when crossed on
common Tennessee ewes, and to show
the value Of an abundance of nu-
tritious feed for ewes and lambs.
This experiment created great deal
OF interest among sheep men in Mid
die Tennessee. A meeting was held at
the station, at which sheep growers
from practically every Middle Tonnes
see county were present to see the
lambs. The ewes, the lambs from the
ewes and by particular ram were
placed side by side, thus showing tho
results with the various breeds Of
purebred rams used on common ewes
for the production of grade lambs.
Those attending the demonstration
declared that they had never seen a
better bunch Of lambs, and they were
greatly enthused over the Improvement
which the demonstra ton showed could
be made in lambs by the use of pure
bred rams and plenty of good pasture,
Uniformity of breeding also made IA
vorable impression on the sheep men.
Purebred Rams and Common Ewes
Used.
The methods used for making the
test and the results obtained, which
will be of interest and value TO al
sheep growers in Tennessee, are as fol-
lows:

GREAT FIELD FOR LAYMENl LAY MI NOW OPENED [ )
Plan Inagurated for Laymen
 to Devote all Their Time ] 7. to Church Work.

CHICAGO, August IA plan has
 been inaugurated by l.. F. Bower, oi Chicago, director of Lay Activities of the Methodist Episcopal Church
 which promises to open up a great field of opportunity for laymen who desire to devote all or a large DOT tion of their time to church work according to statement issued to- day by the Committee on Conserva ton and Advance of the Church.
 The idea, according to the pros pectus is to obtain some manaof na- tional prominence ,in, some, field of work, to head the committee of lay men in each area of the church In the case of the Buffalo area, the first to announce a head to their Lay committee, Howard S. Kennedy, a retired financier, and business man, has been obtained.e Es The statement says:
 Tt is the present area admins trative plan which renders possible the formation of a corresponding Laymen' g. rganization and thus pro- b videsya number. of definite positions with. large responsibilities and op- porthnities to which laymen of abil- ity can be appointed and in which large service can be rendered. to the church.
 The activities. of the layman association will include primarily the great program of our church. Particular stress will be placed upon personal evangelism, stewardship and religious education. The great value of the plan will be in the addition to the present administra- tive agencies of d number of able lay executives through whom the Bishops, Area secretaries and Dis trict Superintendents will be able to mobilize and utilize as never be- fore the great latent forces of ourI church.

SOVIETS TRYING TO REVIVE PETROGRAD;

RENAL, Esthonia, August l. The Russian Soviet Council of Labor and Defense has taken urgent steps to revive Petrograd, which even the Bolsheviki themselves have recently termed dying city"

 Az a session of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee held in Moscow few days ago it was de- cided to give. Petrograd preferential privileges in regard to fuel and transport, to place Retrograd in, the same situation as Moscow with re- ference to food supplies, to establish d special district from which food should be drawn solely for the use of Petrograd and to enjoin all of Russia to come to the aid of Petrograd in the matter of food and fuel supply. A special commission, headed by Premier Lenine and in Zinovieff, Governor of Pet roSrod, was named to carry out the work.
 It was declared that only one sixth of the pre-war number of in dustrial enterprises were in opera tion in Petrograd. The population Is said to number less than 100000 | little. more than a third of the prd-war figures.

Haywood Asks Moscow
Reds to Support [. W. W.
Argues Fact That $4,000 Have
Been Killed or Arrested
Proves Their Activity

RIGA, Latvia, July 13 (By The Asso-
ciated Press. D. Haywood,
the American radical, is making fight
before the congress of the Third In
ternationale at Moscow for continued
support by that organization of the
American Industrial Workers Of the
World, according to Moscow news
papers received here. Against him are
representatives of the Communist
party Of America, who desire to fol-
low the plan advocated by Leon Trotzky
and Karl Radek, which involves work
ing through organized unions.
The fact that twenty-five thousand
members of the Industrial Workers of
the World had been either arrested or
killed, said Haywood, was proof that
the organization was persisting in the
class struggle. He argued that it al
ways had been the policy of the In
dustrial Workers of the World to edu-
cate the workers and prepare them not
only for revolt but to lead in the in
dustrial life of the country. Had the
Russian workers been SO prepared, he
declared, there would be no paralysis
of industry such as now existed in the
country.
Representative Marshall, of the Com
nnunist party, contended that an or
ganization like the American Fedora
ton of Labor, with four million mem
bers, was of greater Importance as q
medium for operations
