With this issue of the hide
pendent" we wish to introduce
this special column of news that
will apply strictly to the farm
folk and farm news.
County Agents work is not en-
tirely new to this county. This
work has been conducted before
with certain degrees of success.
And just here we wish to impress
upon every farmer that the sue
cess of this work and the good
you are going to derive from it
depends upon you and the support
you give toit. No agent, itmakes
no difference how good he may
be can come into McNairy county
and make a success of County
Agents work without the support
and cooperation of farmers. AL
ways remember that county
agents work is your work, the
work of the farmer, and if it
succeeds you have had a big part
in it; and like wise if it fails you
have had your part. So lets all
work together, stop knocking and
join the boosters and help make
this the most successful under
taking in the county.
The County Agent stands ready
to help anyfarmer in the county
who may have a problem to solve.
Five days will be spent in field
work every week and one day.,
Saturday, will be spent in the Of
flee at Selmer for the purpose Of
comforting with farmers and plan
ming the work to be carried out
the next week.
Farmers are invited to visit the
agents office. You will find the
latest farm papers and also bulle-
tins on various subjects that will
prove interesting. These are for
your use.
We want to know each other
and there is no better way than
for you to drop inand let's discuss
your problems.
Quite a number of farmers are
interested in cooperative ship
ping of live stock. This part of
the work will be given immediate
attention. Live stock, especially
cattle is bringing very low price
and the farmer is entitled to the
best possible price. Through CO.
operative shipping each farmer
gets the highest possible price for
his products. If you have any
live stock for sale, even if only |
one head see the county agent and
list it with him.
Boys Club Work will be given
a good share of attention for the
next few months. The practical
teaching and training gotten from
this phase fthe work has more
than proven its worth. We want
100 boys and girls in our agricul- |
tural clubs. Lets get busy and
see what community will be first |
to organize q club.

These paints are black and give
the tire a glossy, smooth finish

required in the application, The
use Of a protective coating on
the spare tire is desirable, for 1t
is often exposed to the action Of

time 1t is slowly deteriorating so
that its mileage is gradually cut
down. A suitable coating, there

In an interview concerning the
appointment, Capt. Peck said:
Tn my mail every day are letters
inquiring about opportunities in
Tennessee for homeseekers, for
dairying and live stock produc-
ton, poultry raising, and for the
location Of industrial plants of
various kinds. Some inquiries
recently.r received want informa-
ton about opportunities for the
packing and preserving of horti-
cultural products.
''The Department of Agricul-
ture is giving, in response to such
inquiries. all the information that
is available, consisting of a map
Of the State, with description by
counties, and containing graphics
showing the production of the.
principal crops. The only maps
available now for distribution are
a-few printed during my first.
term of Office as Commissioner Of
Agriculture, and some little hand
books, Facts about Tennessee, /"
printed about the same time.
Several thousand of each of these
were printed, and they had a
wide distribution, especially in
the Northwest and the North.
Two editions Of each were printed
and there was a big demand for
them, not only from outside of
the State, but also within the
State. These publications are
practically exhausted now.
The Department Of Agricul-
ture should have more informa-
ton available as to what the var
ious sections Of the State have to
effer in the way of inducements
to capital and homeseekers. The
Legislature of 1907 made provi-
sion for a Department Of immi-
grafton, but provided only So, 600
for the biennial period. The ap-
preparation was SO small that the
Commissioner of Agriculture at
that time, under whose direction
it was to be expended, refused to
useit. During Governor Hooper's
administration a Board Of Immi-
grafton was appointed. They did
excellent work, and materially
aided in advertising the resources
Of the State ia the congested sec
tons Of the North and East, in
ducing many homeseekers to
come and considerable capital to
invest in the State.
while the appropriation is
meager, sufficient oply to pay for

literature concerning the re-
