THE PRESENT-AND REMINIS
CENT

Last Sunday afternoon, in company
with my good neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. F. Winslow and Merit league,
went out the Huntingdon road few
miles in the Winslow car, first reach
ing the home of Priest Pearson, who
with his family we found had gone to
the home of Mr.. N. J. Sanders. the
father of Mrs. Pearson, just beyond
Undertake. Driving on, got out at
the gate of my old friend, Sol. N.
Bunch, while the remainder of the
party went on to the home of Mr.. San
ders.
Sol and / moved our chairs out un-
der the big spreading oaks of the old
Z. ]. Undertake home, but before we
sat down to a regular "gabfest" Sol
showed me the garden, his watermel-
lon prospect and told me various
things concerning the Undertake
farm of 400 acres, now owned by
Dick Undertake, who, Sol says, is
one Of the best men in the world.
Again seated in our chairs, we two
"old birds" soon fell into reminiscent
talk for Sol and have throughout our
lives been acquainted with the same
people. First, he told me that my Ia
mented uncle, William Barry, who
lived at that time at the home near
Centre Point, which afterward became
the home of Sol, (the old DR.. McKen-
zie place. officiated at his birth. The
home place of Sol was settled more
than a hundred years ago and it is a
remarkable fact that with the many
people living in the home during the
century there has never been but
three dead people therein.
Sol referred to the good old days.

Point and recalled the knights of the

FINER FARMING
BY n. A. Powers

Fayette Hamlet has been planting
the same piece of ground in corn for
ten years. At the last cultivation he
sows it in peas and the result he Sc
cures better corn each year. We be-
lieve that every acre of corn in Hen
derson county should be treated in this
way even though few peas are pro-
duced. No doubt that our soils need
nitrogen worse than any other ele-
ment. Muscle Shoals can be made to
produce great quantities of nitrates
but every man that gets any of it
must pay for it and the farmer who
grow peas, beans and clovers will
produce his in his own plant on his
own farm for the cost Of the seed and
the labor of planting them.

There was considerable secrecy over
the framing of the current plank that
was to be presented to the st. Louis
convention which nominated McKin.
ley in 1896. Most of the Mckinley
delegates had been gathered from the
West and the Middle West, and these
delegates were adverse to incorpor
alton of gold plank in the platform
because of the silver interests.
Mark Hanna, who had been groom
ing Mckinley for some six years fol
the nomination, was gold man, buI

MOULD ON RED GLOVER.
By George R. White, State Veterinar

During the past few days many
farmers have observed mould or
mildew on the leaves Of red clover
growing in the fields. The daily and
weekly press has carried dispatches
from different parts of Tennessee
which would indicate that this contli-
ton of the red clover is somewhat
general and widespread in its scope.
Some have intimated that in the event
this affected clover was cut and cured
for hay it would be dangerous for
live stock when fed to them. On ac-
count of the alarm that exists among
the farmers some have gone so far as
to abandon entirely saving their clo-
yer hay crop and are allowing it to go
to waste in the field.
Recently the writer's attention has
on several occasions been called to the
existence of this condition of the red
clover. Several farmers have submit
ted samples of the affected clover to
the State Departmnt of Agriculture.
Some have applied for information by
telegraph and telephone, while others
have called in person. In addition to
reports furnished by newspapers and
otherwise, the writer has visited af-
fected fields and there witnessed and
examined the alluded to mouldy
growth and developing on the green
leaves of growing red clover.
Commissioner of Agriculture Peck
has requested me to contribute this
article to the press of Tennessee, to
be published for the benefit of those
who are in doubt as to whether for
age prepared from this mildewed clio.
yer will or will not injure domestic
animals when fed to them.
As the writer understands the con.
dition complained of, it is fungus
growth of low type manifested by
the formation of a mould or mildev
which causes the whitish diseoloratior
observed on the leaves of the affected
plants. This deposit Of whitish down
is without doubt pathological in ma
utre as pertains per sc to the clover
plant. This growth, is incident to OF
, the result Of successive atmospheric
moisture produced by long seige o.

sold a large bunch of hogs last week.
They weighed about $500 pounds.
There is no reason why we should not
sell something besides cotton in the
Fall and Winter. LET US GROW
HOGS ON PASTURE AND MAKE
MONEY. Each farmer should know
how many his farmer can carry and
produce them. Few farms are too
small to support one brood sow. II
the hogs are not finished they can be
sold as feeders to some one who has
plenty of corn to fatten them.

THE HOME OF THE SOUL

In the olden times, it was believed
that the seat of the soul was the stom-
ach, most likely for the reason that
man is never so completely used up as
when his stomach is out Of order. For
the cure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions natur-
ally. Give them trial. They only
cost quarter. All druggists.

On the farm of G. c. Sellers last
week we found piece of cotton that
had been section narrowed twice.
There was enough cotton left for
three of four stands. The land had
been well prepared and a good sup
ply of seed put into the ground. On
nearby farm rough preparation was
no doubt responsible for a poor stand.
The first mentioned field of cotton
had also been terraced and due to the
fact that these great soil conservers
had been built long enough and high
enough so that they would not break
the rows had been run as though the
terraces were not there.

S. N. Bunch hands us an ideae that
we feel worth passing along. Instead
busting mellon and similar vines for
bugs with arsenate he makes it into
a solution and sprinkles it on the
vines so that it will run down the
stem of the plant and little into the
soil. We rather like this idea on &C.
count of the habit of the bugs have Of
eating on the stems and underground
parts.

Eligee Lewis reports that he treat
ed an acre of water MELONS with ar
senate and killed them ALL Wherever
all directions are followed as we give
them and the right things is used at
the right time we know that there is
no danger because we have used il
and had it used too much. We mention
this to warn every one to follow di-
rections absolutely. One of two
things killed the above crop; the ar
senate was applied to the vines after
they had been wet by sprinkling with
water instead of applying when the
dew is on; the bugs themselves might
have kolled the MELONS before pois.
on took effect. We report this in or.
der that we may have others to re-
prot their adverse experience as vel
as successes.

| for surprise. He is just the oppo-
| person, a siX-footer, broad-shouldered
| and as easy and graceful as man
! trained in the fine points of politics.
although this is the first time he has
been candidate for any public office.
His voice is big and round and
musical; his enunciation almost per-
fect, and every word carries on. He
s exceptional as a public speaker,
| inc in style, but not too fine; simple
| N the sense that his appeal is direct
and straightforward, and in words
| that reach home. Like other great
orators he speaks the language of the
people, not from the clouds, as might
| be expected of college president, but
| from firm and familiar grounds. II
he is impressive on platform, he Is
not less SO in the informal moments
when he meets people along the street
or in front of halls where he is about
TO speak. He shakes hands after the
fashion of a man who really likes plain
folks, and is happy among them. Peo-
pie seem to warm to him.
Old-Time politicians have been in
clined to the theory that no man not
widely known could hope to be elected
to public office, but they have come
to learn in this campaign that the
people like new faces and new per-
sonalfties, particularly a man who has
something to say that is worth listen
ing to.
Garfield is particularly interesting
because he is going against biff bang
campaigner, one of the best in the
business, Senator La Toilette. Some
may have thought it was like sending
lamb to slaughter, but Garfield has
dispelled this impression, for he is
hard-hitting, driving campaigner him.
SELF
He starts out with this initial ad-
vantage, people are interested in him,
first, because he is a new man in Wis
consin politics, second, because he has
something to say that really counts.
He is big card every where he goes.

work, which was carried on with a
bout $4,000 of the Department of
Markets appropriation, has proved
to be of great financial benefit to the
industry as whole.
Prices of Wisconsin potatoes in Chi
cago during the season ranged from
$1.40 to $500 per cwt. with the gen
eral range during the major part of
the season being $3.50 to $500. Prices
received by farmers during the year
ranged from 90c to $3.50 per cit. with
prices during the greater part of the
season ranging $1.00 to $3.50 per cwt.
In 1921 there was planted $4,000
acres of potatoes as compared with
100000 in 1920. Adverse weather
conditions reduced the crop so that
this past year the shipments were
lighter than for some years past. Last
year about 10000 cars were shipped
whereas the past year the shipments
amounted to about II, 900 cars. Ship
ments were heaviest in October, the
November and December shipments
being extremely light. Large guam
titles were held by farmers for high
spring market but this did not mater
