The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-07-06

Being a lifelong Democrat and a
citizen and taxpayer of Upton county
for a number of years, and feeling
keenly the burden of taxation under
which our people are now laborlng
and clamoring for relief. and being
urgently solicited by numerous tax
payers and personal friends from
different localities in the county, |
do hereby announce myself as a can
didate for direct representative for
Tipton county in the next legislature
Of Tennessee before the Democratic
primary election to be held on the
3rd day of August, next. In making
this race | desire to be perfectly cam
did in my position on some Of the
questions which concern our people
most.
First | am opposed to any extra
pay or bonus for legislators not al
lowed by law.
Second-I am for the repeal of all
laws now on our statute books which
allow the issuance or sale of any sort
or kind of bonds-state, county or
municipal unless approved by ma
jority Of the qualified voters Of the
county at an election to be held after
sixty days have been allowed for dis
cussion and consideration Of the same.
Third favor the passage of a
law allowing each civil district to
manage and control it's own roads, ex-
cepting the estate highways" And
for each district to elect an assessor,

No Excuse For Scrub Ram
Is there any excuse for the use Of
a grade or a scrub ram on the farms
Of the sheepmen of Tennessee? If
we will permit present and past mar
ket prices on No. 2 and lambs as
compared to No. 1's to be the judge
the verdict will be NO. Just think

the following on the value of the pure

scrub ram and II bred to fairly

lambs were sold at three months Of

WHAT CAN THE FARMER EXPECT
FROM A PUREBRED SIRE
BY L. A. RICHARDSON
Livestock Specialist, Division Of Extension,
University of Tennessee

What can / expect from purebred
Hires? This Ia a question which has
been asked by thousands and thou
sands of farmers for centuries, and
one that every test has answered in
favor of the purebred, yet nearly 30
percent of the farmers Of Tennessee
WHO have livestock of one kind or an
other, because of Indifference or lack
of appreciation of the results which
their neighbors have secured, have not
sought to take advantage of the pure
bred sire. 1t is high time that we
stop this leak in our livestock system
of farming BY the use Of good purebred
sires, and place the hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars which is today being
lost to the farmers by the use Of infe-
rior males to his credit in the county
bank
A survey completed during the fall
of 1921 by the j. S. Department of
Agps9lture among 525 livestock farm
ers owning 25,G9O head of livestock in
three middle western states recorded
the fact that the Increase in financial
returns traceable to the use Of pure
bred sires on their farms was 4S per
cent These men had used purebred
sires for a period Of nine years, so
here can be no mistake about this data
being authentic.
Again we come to the question of
Farmers Bulls, what is he? He is

cage, with quality in his confirmation

of gain on the lambs sired by the
scrub ram.
"The lambs were sold at East st.
Louis yards. The Hampshire lambs
sold for $735 per 100 pounds, and the
scrub lambs sold for $3.50 per 100
pounds The well-bred lambs We're
! thickerheshed, smoother broader in
back and tighter in pelt than the
scrubs"

were good tops. OF "a scrubs which
were given the same treatment only 4
were tops The combined weight Of
the Hampshires was ? 49, pounds while
the scrubs only weighed 1,70O. Moral .

Animals Appeal To Children
Eugene Davenport in the Country
Gentleman says: Though most chill
dren love flowers, and though boys
take to trees as ducks to water, yet in
general it is not vegetation nor SCENERY
that most impresse1 children. 1t is
animal life that makes the great APP
peal.
There is something about animal
life to which childhood instinctiveIy
and instantly responds. 1t is a pow
erful asset in development, for it lasts
out of childhood into youth; out of
adolescence into manhood and woman
| hood. Besides, the society of animals
is clean. Intimate association with
animal life is not only the best anti
dote against evil companions but the
very dependence of animals brings out
the fundamental instincts of service
as against selfishness. The pig must
be fed and the calf must be watered.
The animal pet is about the only living
thing that can extract willing and con-
tinuOus service from the small boy"
Better livestock means:
Better Soil. To grow good crops
the soil must be fertile. The live
stock will help to make the soil fer
tile. This means good farming.
Better Crops, Good livestock must
be well fed. Good crops must be
grown to feed good livestock.
Better Work. When we commence
to improve our livestock we Will do all
our work better
Better Homes. When we have good
livestock we win clean up the farm.
1t will be better place to live.
Better Folks. When we improve
our livestock we will live better. We
viii have better homes.
Better Buildings. Good livestock
must have good shelter This means
good but not necessarily expensive
buildings.
Better Fences. Good livestock must
be kept at home. This means good
fences.
More Profit. When we have good
livestock we will read and write and
keep reeords-we wiz make mors
profit

to insure his making an Improvement
on the common cattle when mated
with them. The pedigree of this ami
NAL carries two important things
with it; first the uniform type Of the
animal means that his ancestry has
been subject to a certain amount Of Sc
lection in mating. In the second place,
his pedigree fSnns the possession of
useful economic traits which the breed
is known to possess over and above
ordinary cattle. This enables the
farmer in possession of a pedigreed
animal to feel that he has more than
an even chance to secure these useful
traits in the offspring. In heifers the
ancestry of a purebred sire has been
standardized and the farmers who use
purebred sires may expect standard
lied results in uniform progeny.
Value In Beef Production
A Washington farmer gives the fol-
lowing report on two calves dropped
on his farm One calf was sired by a
purebred bull and the other by scrub.
The calves had dams of equal merit.
The calves were grown and finished
on the same kind Of feed and with
the same attention and care At ma
turity the calf sired by the purebred
bull weighed 1410 pounds and sold
for S112S0 The calf sired by the
scrub bull sold at the same time weigh
Ing 900 pounds and sold for $59.40, a
difference of $53.4O in favor of the
purebred sires. The survey among

At tho annual meeting of the Handi-

years Of its existence.

largest yacht-racing classes in the
United States, and from the interest
shown even moro boats will be at the

A new class that will be Of particu

The Prlncetonian," however, saws that
the abolishment of early fall practice
will operate to shorten schedules by
eliminating what is now the only
athletic preparation made outside Of
the college year, and that no increase
in early season injuries will result.
The suggestion to do away with the
so-calcd interscctional games has, con
trary to expectations, aroused little OPP
position, In speaking OF the proposal
"The Prncetonian" says:
with the abolishmcnt Of interscc-
tional games and all contests outside
Of the three home grounds, few early
season games Of any Importance will
come unnecessary. Pripceton's visitors
will have to accept the no return game
basis
"Alumni urge the strongest argu-
ment against this proposal They want
TO see their team in action, and being
unable to go back in the fall, en-
Enthusiastically welcome games taken to
them. They are quite jus tilted in their
position, except that the trips they
advocate tend TO disrupt the fall term

Der of students that arc bound 70 &C

Importance of football and appear to
the world at large as rather luxurious

"The coming exodus to Chicago
should never have been planned, albeit
great many graduates will see a
Princeton team play FOR the first time
since they left college. Football is
the most important of college sports,
admittedly; but does that warrant it's
being carried abroad on expeditions
that necessitate several special trains
Does that warrant it's being carried d
outside the university at all?
ut is also argued that such a move
would awaken the old hue and cry
about Eastern provncialism; about
Harvard and Princeton retiring into
their shells. 1t will be said that VIC
fear invasion, fear loss of reputa
tion. We reply that what concern,
the three is no business of others. If
we want to restrict our relations to

"This talk Of broadening our con-
facts in the college world is senti-
