THE COUNTRY PAPERS
POWER FOR GOOD
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Some weeks ago l had something
to saw in regard to the newspapers
of the State, and the great power
thew exercised for good in their COM
munities, and the duty OF the cltl-
zens of these communities to give
their papers their whole-hearted
support. | feel that a few more
words on this subject would not he
amiss, lust now at the time when
the country papers are calling at
t-ntion to "Home Paper Week.
For sixteen years ! published II
county weekly newspaper, and dur
ing that time learned many tlnags
about its possibilities and its llnlta-
tons. I came to understand how
much is expected Of the county
paper, and how, in many cases.
scant appreciation is shown OF the
work done by the newspapers
The newspaper in every commun-
ity does more gratuitous work than
any individual or organization IN
that community. The newspaper
man is a natural booster-it is his
natural inclination. You may go
into any community and make IN
ouiries about the location OF new
industries, and you will find that
the newspaper has been the chief
factor in inducing new capital and
new business 10 come into the con-
munity. 1t is often the case that the
newspaper man is so interested IN
boosting everybody else's business
that he neglects to boost his own in
the degree that it should be.
The newspaper mans vocation Is
one he can we'll afford to be proud
of, and one which he is justified IN
boosting Oilers will respect the
newspaper and give it support some
times when some of the, boosting
spirits evidenced in the interest OF
the newspaper.
The newspaper is the moulder OF
public opinion it makes and un-
makes politicians, and it is the
power above all others that makes
for the progress and prosperity OF
community. The industrial devel-
opment in Tennessee during the
!, last few decades has been phenom-
email, and it has been brought about
largely by the spirit of the news
papers of the State in advertising
our great natural resources in coal,
iron, phosphate and other minerals.
And in a similar degree the great
agricultural development of the
State is largely due to the spirit OF
co operation shown by the press OF
the State in cooperating with the
Department of Agriculture and the
Division of Extension in the speed
of knowledge of the best methods in
farming. But there remains great
deal to be done. and l am sure that
the newspapers of the State will con-
tinue to cooperate in the develop
ment of the agricultural interests OF
THE State, because they realize that
agriculture is the basic industry,
and unless the agricultural classes
of the nation are prosperous there
can be no permanent prosperity FOL
the State and Nation.
J We are all interested in the az
ricultural development OF the State

INCREASE IN ALFALFA CROPS
Larger Yields Secured by Oregon and
Washington Farmers by AppiI-
cation of Sulphur.

Farmers in Oregon and Washington
have greatly increased their alfalfa
crops by the application of sulphur.
This prac-i ice is based upon the re-
suits of investigations by the expert
ment stations In these states as well
as upon demonstrations of the use Of
sulphur on alfalfa conducted by the
county agricultural agents in co-opera-
ton with specialists from the agricul-
tural college. In Deschute county last
year 2S5 tons of sulphur were used,
at a total cost Of a little more than
$4,000, and the increased yield, reck-
oned at $40 a ton, was $4,000. In
Jackson county 277 tons, costing
about $4,000, are estimated to have
increased the yield $4,000. In Kla-
math county 90 tons, costing 5000.
gave an estimated increase of SAC, 1000.
reckoning alfalfa at SIS a ton. Dem
onstrations In Josephine, Wallowa and
Wasco counties give a similar ratio
of results. The first experiments in
sulphur fertilization in these states
were made in 1912. Rapid develop
ment of the innovation was made pos
sible thrcIgh the system of county
agents ond key men who were practi-
cal formers.

Day
FAVORED BY HEN
Poultry Flock Given More Time
for Eating and Exercising
During Winter Season.
INCREASES EGG PRODUCTION
Many Farmers Find il Profitable to
illuminate Houses for Severa
Hours Each Day to Encour-
age the Pullets.

Domestic fowls originated in the
tropics where the days and nights are
of about equal length. AS a result OF
this, the reproductive and digestive
systems of the hen are developed TO
Iii the environment of a 12-hour day
and a 12-hour night. For this reason
she Is somewhat like al alarm clock,
except that she must be wound up
about every u hours instead of every
"a. In the winter in the North, her
digestive system strikes al about 3 or
4 O'Clock in the morning. AS she is
unable TO locate food in the dark h
has no alternative but to wait until
daylight or until the caretaker gets
around to feed her.

Between these pens and n row Of
four stock pens Is a cross aisle also
provided win a carrier system. These
stock pens have removable partitions
the size at will. Immediately to the
rear Of these pens are large double
sliding doors.
The rear aisle or the barn leads

leads to the pit. This shed'is "a feet
long and 16 feet wide.
Another of the important features
of this building is the ventilating sys-
TEN. This consists of ~foul-air flues,
installed at various intervals around
the barn to draw off the foul air. Mod
ern ventilators on the roof provide a
continual source Of fresh air which
Is essential for healthy animals and
profitable production. Lightning rods
placed at intervals along the roof pro-
tect the barn against the fire menace.
Fortified with a dairy barn of this
type, a farmer can consider himself
very fortunate. It will be an invalu-
able asset because 1t accomplishes
two important results, increased milk
production and increased satisfaction
among the hired help, which obviously

HOMEMADE HIDES
ARE TOO UNCERTAIN
Ii Does Not Pay Farmer to Tan
His Own Leather.
Packing Houses Have Considerable
Advantage Because Of Ability to
Carefully Grade Skins-Holes
Are Avoided.

Apparently it doesn't pay the farm
er to tan his wv leather. The bureau
of chemistry, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is conducting
leather-making experiments upon the
scale To which the average farmer
would have to adjust his work, and
specialists say that the results OBJ
tanned thus far do not warrant gem
eral practice. Good leather can be
made in individual tanneries, but the
results are too uncertain to give re-
liable profits.
The work IA taken up by the de-
partment when IL became evident that
the farmers were feeling the injustice
of a transaction wherein they sold q
whole cowhide for less than they paid
out for a pair of work shoes-an oc-
currence not at all unusual. lnvesti-
CATION shows that the leather dealer
is not entirely to blame for the low
prices that the farmer receives for
his hides. Too often the hide from
the farm COW is taken off in a care
less ann hat leaves the skin full
of cuts and holes-farm hides are new
er as uniform as those bought from
the packing houses, where the animals
are carefully graded and the skins
removed by expert SINNERS. For that
reason the hide buyer is always will
ing to pay more for the packers prod
net than he can offer the farmer.
Then. too, the farmer sells his cow
hide to the junk dealer, who deducts
his profit from the price he pays.
Whenever 1t is possible to collect a
number of hides and skins 1t will pay
the owner to deal directly with a
large dealer, the specialists say.
