dressed to o. j. Simeral, head of

the alteration concerning the

employees as a whole and not the
union.
Among certain Of the employees
there is talk Of placing the mill

Panic Rules Streets.

Panic Rules Streets.
Effects of the explosion were
felt for blocks. A big department
store at Twelfth and Halsted stree's
was the scene of panic when the
conclusion shattered plate glass
windows and startled clerks and
shoppers.
The neighborhood confusion
hampered the police and firemen
until the fire lines were establish
ed, men and women running about
the streets screaming about
bombs. -
Building Demolished.
OF the building where the blast
originated there was left only a
pile of broken timbers and plaster.
Half an hour after the explosion
three bodies were taken from the
ruins and four persons, severely
injured, were sent to the county
hospital. A dozen others were
treated at a neighboring drug
store.
Two more bodies taken from the
ruins brought the known death
list to five. Parts of another body
were also recovered but the corpses
were so badly mangled that the
coroner's assistants were uncer-
tain whether this latter discovery
actually increased the death list.

Need Of System for Operation Of
Farms Urged.

AHdt TIC OIBdulIALIOH OF the farm
so that proper balance of crops and
livestock as they relate to each other
is maintained is basis of, and the
receipt for, a happy. successful and
prosperous farming, was the pre-
dominating thought of forceful
address on farm management de-
livered at the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Institute August 9 by Dean
I. P. Cooper, of the Kentucy College
of Agriculture. This address was a
feature Of the session.
Dean Cooper emphasized the fact
that the same principles must enter
into the operation Of the farm that
enter into the operation Of success
full business. He stated that during
the past 100 years the farmers Of
this country have been too busy con
quering land to pay much attention
to organizing and systematizing their
business. However, he declared that
the time is now here when the farmer
who would succeed must put bust
ness into his farming operations and
that better farm management will
help him to better cope with hard
times like he is experiencing at this
time and enable him to get the best
of the good times. The 100 per
cent. farmer was pictured as the man
who puts individuality, work. pro
fessionalism and business into his
farm operation. The farmer who
neglects anv one Of these lacks Just
that much measuring I'D to his pos
sibilities. Two important things in
farm MANAGEMENT as pointed ont
by the sneaker are manaeerisl ability
and ability to organize. In these. in
dividuality counts just as it does in
operating a store or anv other BUSH
ness, he stated. The farmer must
study his farm. know the soil, what
it is capable Of producing, etc.
The five commandments of sue
cessful farm management are: Con
slider the size of the farm, the yields
of crops, utilization Of pastures, pro-
portion of crops and livestock, di-
yersity of crops and livestock. Where
these points are studied and OBJ
served, the farmer is usually sue
cessful one, according to numerous
surveys and Investigations in all
parts Of the country, according to
Dean Cooper. Investigation also
shows that the medium-sized farm
of about 200 acres, well managed.
brings in the best returns for the
average farmer. He said that the
well managed farm should get its
income from both livestock and
crops-about 60 per cent. from crops
and 40 per cent. from livestock. He
stressed the fact that it is not a
good thing to get all of the income of
the farm from any one crop or live
stock alone. The growing of three
or four principal crops to sell for
cash with livestock fitting into the
scheme are essential for well-man-
aged farm, he declared.

MiddIe Tennessee Farmers HOld

Middle Tennessee Farmers Hold
Annual Meeting at Columbia.
Farmers and farm home-makers Of
Middle Tennessee counties held their
Goth annual institute at Columbia
on August 8, 10 and II, and the ses-
sion was declared one of the best in
the history of the organization.
The attendance at the various
sessions Of both the farmers and the
home-makers was about the same
as previous years, but everyone
seemed to show more real interest in
the various sessions than ever be-
fore. The delegates seemingly came
to get every bit of information that
they possibly could and to hear,
see and to discuss problems that are
of vital interest to them. The spirit
that pervaded the sessions was hope
full, optimistic and thoroughly help
full, and great and lasting good is
expected to result from the meeting.
Able addresses on agriculture in
general, farm management, dairy
ing, sheep husbandry, roads, schools
and tenancy by widely known speak
ers and number of practical demon
strations and open discussions of
live farm topics were the high points
of the program for the farmers. The
home-makers were given a strong
program, consisting of demOnstra-
tions and addresses. A feature of
this section was a bread contest be-
tween county club girl champions to
decide the winner of trip with all
expenses paid to the international
Club Convention at Chicago in De-
cember. This trip was offered by
the Ford Flour Company, of Nash
vile, and was won by Miss Grace
Whitesell, of Marshall county.
That legislation alone can not
remedy the economic ills of farmers
and an appeal for the operation Of
farms on business principles were
the main features Of the resolutions
adopted by the farmers on the clos
ing day.
Col. Harry Berry, of Henderson
vile, was elected president, and C.
G. Buckitt, of Antioch, secretary.

every section Of the state report
either the establishment Of a cooper
alive creamery, a cream station, the
purchase Of good dairy cattle, the
installation Of cream separatOTs, or
that a few farmers have made their
first shipments of cream.
Hogs are another product which
have extended the marketing season
throughout the entire year. 1t is
true that most Of the hogs of Ten
.nessee are still sold during the period
from October to April, but as a re-
suit of the activities Of the county
agents some of the counties will con-
duet cooperative hog sales through
out the entire year.

Horse Power vs.. tractor.

In discussing horse power VS.. the
tractor before the Institute, DR.. M.
Jacob emphasized the need of more
attention to the production of horses
and mules in Tennessee, and the
fact that horse power has been proven
to be the cheaper for the average
farmer of the state. He also stress
ed the great need for production of
larger mules and horses on the
farms and the use Of purebred stall
lions for breeding.
