oF MoIsTURE
(By 7. F. Peck, Commissioner Of
Agriculture

(By 7. F. Peck, Commissioner of
Agricultural
Nearly one-half Of the year 1922 is
past and is history We have had
practically 25 inches Of rainfall to
date. Our average rainfall is Az rs
inches annually. The rainfall has
been SO distributed as to keep the
ground too wet for working great
pant Of the time.
We may expect a dry season during
the cultivating period and during
August. So it hehooves us to be pre-
pared for it by getting dust mulch
on our land in crops and maintaining
It. By doing this we can conserve the
moisture in the soil for our crops.
II we have properly prepared our
soils before planting, thorough shall
low cultivation at frequent intervals
will serve the purpose. Conserve the
moisture and kill the weeds as soon
as they terminate and prevent them
crowding the crops we are growing
or taking up the plant food that the
growing crops can utilize.
Do not be in too big hurry to Clay
by your crops because the surface
should be kept stirred to preserve the
dust mulch through the dry period
we usually have during August. 1t
is claimed that 81 per cent. Of the
weight of our crops comes from the
air and water and three per cent.
from the soil proper, so we should not
take any chances on not conserving
the moisture in the soil.
i heard the statement made bv a
speaker as to the part water played
in the growth of crops, and farmer
in the audience said: II have spent
thousands of dollars in draining my
swamp lands and, according to your
statement, have wasted my money"
The speaker explained to him that his
land needed drainage; that the water
was dead, inactive. and had soured
the land so it could not produce
crops. We must have drainage to
avoid dead water, and we must have
humus in the soil to make it porus so
the air and water can penetrate it.
The dust mulch prevents evapora-
tion. II we have deep soil well sup
piled with vegetable matter we can
conserve more moisture than with
thin layer. The subsoil is not porus.
When we have heavy downpours of
rain, if our ground is broken shallow
the loose surface soil gets overloaded
with water and sloughs off, leaving
the subsoil bare, while if the ground
had been broken deep and vegetable
matter turned under, the soil would
have taken up the water and pre-
vented the land from washing.
For the present season, all we can
do is to provide the dust mulch and
keep it stirred. But as as fast as we
can we should break deeper, increase
the vegetable matter in the soil. It
pays in many ways. With our soil in
proper condition, with constant stir
ring, we have little to fear from the
dry seasons we have to contend with
in this state.

Keep the Hens Laying and Young
Chicks Growing.
"The chief work Of the poultry
raiser in June is the feeding of the
laying hens to keep them laying and
the feeding Of the young chicks to
keep them growing, says Kate MI
Wells, poultry specialist. Extension
Service, University Of Tennessee.
The hens should have a mash feed
always before them and a grain feed
morning and night. Plenty of good
water is also very necessary to keep
up the egg production. If the egg
basket shows that the supply is GO
ing down, wet mash fed at noon
will help to keep it up. Take some
of the dry mash, mix with milk or
water to a crumbly mass and feed
what they will clean up in Is or 20
minutes.
Summer feeding Of young chicks
is very necessary if pullets that will
begin to lay by November are de-
veloped. The young cockerels must
also be kept growing 50 that the best
can be selected for next years breed
ing pen, AS they grow and develop
through the summer study them care
fully and be sure you select the best
one or two in the fall to keep for the
breeding pen next spring. The rest
of the cockerels need to be well fed
so they will grow off as quickly as
possible, so you can get them on the
market before the price goes down.
You will be well paid if you fatten
these brOilers for two weeks before
selling Shut them in small house
or yard after dusting them with
sodium fluoride, or a good lice pow
der, and feed the fattening ration:
Fifty per cent. corn meal, 20 per
cent. ground oats, 20 per cent. wheat
bran, 10 per cent. low grade flour,
one-half pound fine table salt to each
100 pounds mixture Mix to slop-
py mash with sour milk or butter
milk and feed in troughs. If semi
solid buttermilk is used dilute with
water at the rate of four gallons of
semi-solid buttermilk to five gallons
of water, Do not give any grain,
green feed or water. They will in
crease in weight better without
these"

Farmers Make Big Saving on Wool
That farmers throughout Tennessee

operative pools than they would have
received otherwise is shown by reports
Of farm bureaus and county agents
that are being received by the mark

Service Of the University Of Tennes-

The Maury County Farm Bureau
estimates that not less than $1,000
was saved by farmers Of that county
by selling through the county pool,
which was the first ever attempted.
Similar reports are coming in from
number Of other counties, but Bed
ford county led again this year with
the largest sinble pool Of any county
in the state.
Over $4,000 pounds Of wool were
placed in the pool and clear brought
42.3 cents per pound; light bury, 37.3;
medium bury, 30, sand hard bury,
20. The total Of the sale was over
900, of which $1,000 represented
what he farmers received above what
they would have gotten had they sold
individually on the omen market.
Twelve different wool dealers made
bids and all were very close, four be-

Farmers Wife is Real Partner

Farmers Wife is Real Partner
"There is no other business in which
the wife nters directly and positively
into full partnership with her hus-
band as on the farm" said Mrs. G.
W. Sewell, Of Ottenbein, Ind, in an
address before the recent East Ten
nessee Farmers Convention.
"The farm housewife is a real
partner, taking live interest and re-
sponsibility in every incident Of the
farm operation. She is directly af-
fected by the sunshine, the rain and
the storm. Loss and profit affects
her directly. She knows when the
reaper is out Of order She drives the
pigs from the potato patch in the
absence of her husband or the hired
help. She mends fences and assumes
a full share Of the responsibility on
the farm, knowing that she should
share in every mishap of good or bad
fortune.
"Men, you should take your wives
in your confidence. You should see to
it that your wives have a full share
of the blessings of your success.
Make the farm home a paradise for
your wives and your children"
Mrs. Sewell painted the farm life
and the farm home as the real and
only true life Of modern times. She
declared that while the farmer and his
wife can now provide not only the
necessities on the farm, but can have
many of the Injuries. "But, Of
course, all this takes work. the es-
sential Of all successful business, in
this as well as in any other age" she
declared. "There is opportunity for
more real happiness on the farm than
in the city, where so many people
strive to live on an automobile life on
a wheelbarrow income"

Gaffney. Sept. 22.-Another in

the controversy between DR.. +.
c. Hickson and the members Of

Hickson was requested more than
one week ago by deacons of the
church to tender his resignation as
pastor, following statement pub
lished over his signature to the
effect that he was supporting Co:c
l.. Blease for governor. Now comes
the doctor in a communication TO
a Gaffney newspaper, and states
that the deacons Of Skull Shoals
church exceeded their authorits, in
demanding his resignation, in that
only the entire congregation of a
Baptist church has that power, and
he asserts that he will continue to
occupy the pulpit at Skull Shoals.
When advised of DIR. dickson s
statement, deacons Of Skull shoals
church are quoted as saying THAI il

Man in Anderson
Victim Of Attack
Found Unconscious in Car sAf-
ter Having Been Struck
Blow on Head

Anderson, Sept 23-Robbed
and sandbagged at late hour
last night and found by city oiI-
GERS in an unconscious condition
at / o'clock this morning, lying
in an automobile near Orr mills.
on the extension of south Main
street, /. 6. Watson, about s.
years of age, a well known local
timer. was today in state Of
sen1i-conscieusness and told Off
GERS that he knew absolutely moth
ing of the attempt to take his
life.
That robbery was the motive Of
the party who struck Mn. Watson
is indicated by the empty pocket
book belonging to Mr.. Watson
which was found III the automobile
and had apparently been rified.
When examined it was found
that Mr.. Watson had sustained a
terrific blow on the back of his
head, and while it is not known
how long the man lay unconscious
in the automobile, it is believed
that two hours or more had clap
sed between the time he was struck
until his discovery this morning at
1 O'Clock. When found his wounds.
were bleeding freely and it was
stated that a portion OF, his head
was heafen info a. piiln. a Sa md bag
or some other similar instrument
having beef employed.
The ear IN which Mr.. Watson
was found was not his own and
the police department has been in-
formed that the car belonged to
Frank Burriss, a local electrician.
whom Mr. Watson stated he had
been doing some work for. While
Burriss had not been implicated in
the affair late today, officers say
the automobile was his property.

RAILROADS
FACE CAR
SHORTAGE
Supply of Surplus Freight
Cars Exhausted For First
Time Since November

New York, Sept. 24,-The rail-
roads have exhausted their surplus
cars for the first time since No
venber. 1920, owing to increased
industrial activity. throughout the
country, the Association Of Railway
Executives announced today
The increase in the movement
Of crops, fuel and other commod-
tiles always brings. a heavier de-
mand fer freight cars in the fall, a
statement said. SO that the present
situation is considered seasonable
and normal.
ION September 8 there were a.
1s6 surplus freight cars. 2,2S7 few
er than on August 81" the state
ment said. "At the same time there
were requests from shippers for
67.S99 cars, which could not be
compiled with just at that time.
This was 1929 cars more than on
August 81.
Surplus coal cars numbered S4,-
6S5 on September s, reduction OF
1854: since August 81, while un-
filed orders for. cars on that date
totalled 1854 cars.
while the action of surplus
freight cars began in November,
1929, the peak was not reached ul1-
til April s, 1921, when there We're
5o7,427 cars. Since there has been
a steady decrease.
The demand upon the carriers to
haul Bumper crops combined with
the emergency movement :of coal,
has .eentered attention also on the
depleted motive power equipment
of the roads. which has, been af-
iected by the shopmen's strike:
The associations last report placed
the number Of locomotives unfit
for service at more than 80 per
cent. in August; since then a large
number Of locomotives have been
retired for repairs, some railroad
officials admitted today, estimating
that approximately one-haH Of the
roads motive power is unavailable
for use.
The need for more locomotives to
move the congestion Of freight on
nearly every railroad is giving
greater concern to railroad Off
Gals, it was said. than the possibil-
ity OF a car shortage:
With more motive power avail
able Officials said they could cas-
lily secure a turn over of freight
and coal cars that would tend to
nuiify the car shortage, or at least
prevent it from assuming large
,proporfions.
