To start at, the end instead OF the

the pageant will be the distribution
of gifts from the tree. One way. for
the teacher to handle the giving is
to say that no gift should cost over
rs cents Tor whatever amount the
children can afford) and further, that
each child must hand in the names
Of the ones to whom he or she is
giving. In this way the teacher can
make sure, that no child is left out.

receives at least two gifts, since one
Of the givers might fail to bring in his

of this paper and two yards Of the
yarn to tie up his packages. Then
when the gifts are brought in they
will present a uniform appearance.
Red yarn is fully as attractive as
ribbon for tying packagea and much
cheaper. 81 IT,

entrance of two boys dressed as
candles. They will march stiffly to

years by depressed market conditions.
While many Of our livestock farmers

John Hitch, Of Bl0unt county, Is one
Of the most successful farmers IN Ten
nessee. Hundreds Of farmers from
surrounding communities and coan-
ties visit his farm each year to study
his methods Of rotation and to see his
splendid crops and livestock.
Last year when the East tennessee
Farmers Convention held its annual
meeting he addressed the farmers on
the subject of Livestock and Crop
Rotation
Mr.. Hitch stated that he started out
with a small farm, q feeling that farm-
ing wasn't dumping ground but an
Industry made up Of real men engaged
IN great business, and an ambition

lot Of gullies and most of 1t was very
poor, he said. So he saw at once that ne

Increasing the size of bis farm to leo
Rcres which was divided into seven
fields Of equal SIZE
After trying out several different
rotations for d period Of ten years he
hnaliy settled on the following sys-
tenn: Two years clover and grass:
one year corn one year wheat and as
soon as wheat is taken of, prepare
ground, manure, lime and Sow barley; |
then back to clover and grass.
Mr. Hitch stated that this rotation
quits him better as it gives more leis-
IRE, does not require too much plow-
Ing, leaves plenty Of roots and yege-
fable matter to keep. the land from
washing and gives an opportunity for
lining the soil. He said that livestock
played an important part in his rota-
ZION. When be first started farming,
he stated that he did not keep much
livestock, but soon he bought some hill
land on which cattle were kept during
the summer, bringing them to the farm
cor the winter He says that more
feed means more cattle On his farm
and that cattle makes It possible to
grow more feed.
According to Mr.. Hitch, no man
ought to undertake to farm In Tennes.
zee without a well balanced system Of
farming and by this he means the
growing Of several different crops Ii

His advise To the Tennessee farm

This be says the farmer will make
