A CRY FOR HELP!

Reports are current in the press
of the country about the misery and
suffering among people of all ages in
the famine and disease stricken por-
ton of Russia and the near east;
thousands are dying of starvation;
the dead bodies OF little children are
found along the road ways as mute
witnesses of the awful conditions.
Whatever may be the sins Of the
adults it is inconceivable that these
suffering and dying infants are re-
sponsible. There seems to be none
to give aid in their own country
and the American Congress has au-
thorized the incorporation of the
Near East Relief; all those who are
willing to contribute to this relief
may send their donations to W. Z,
Stricklin, Treasurer, Wartburg, who
will forward same to the State
Treasurer of the Incorporation.
Respectfully.
H. w. SUMMER,
Chr. Morgan County.

COUNTY COURT.

The Honorable County, Court met
Monday, April 3rd, in regular ses-
sion with Judge John A. Jones on
the bench, and full attendance of
Justices. The regular business of
the Court was transacted, and in
addition several Notaries were elect
ed. Quite q number of men was
released from working the road. It
hardly seems right that men should
ask to be released from working the
road when the upkeep of the roads
is one of the.most important things
in the county. If a man has proper
ty or a small income he should not
ask to be relea- ed from working the
road.

and loaned these nations more than
9 billions for them to carry on the
fight, and in view of all this some
of these nations and it may be all
of them are asking us to cancel the
whole debt or if we won't do that.
they ask us to take Germany for it.
This is really preposterous. 1t is
evident that if these nations will ad-
just their economic conditions in a
business way, this debt can be paid.
1t looks very much like they are
not acting in good faith. If an indi-
vidual goes to the bank and borrows
money he is legally and morally
bound to pay the principal and a
certain amount Of interest for the
loan. Why should not nations do
the same thing? This administra-
tion will not be acting fair and just
toward the people whom it serves
unless it sees that this money is COL
lected, every cent Of it.

THINGS AND OTHER
THINGS.

The question of teachers attend
ing summer schools has been acted
upon by the County Board of Edu
cation. The board thinks, and it
thinks wisely, that in order to i'm
prove the efficiency of our schools it
must have strong and efficient teach
ers in every class room in the coun-
ty. It does not matter how hard
the board and superintendent may
work for the progress and better
ment of the schools; eighty per
cent of the progress of our schools
depends upon the teachers that are
employed to carry on the work in
the class rooms. Any teacher who
reluctantly goes TO summer school
is not the kind we are looking for.
Any teacher who refuses or fails to
go without a reasonable excuse
should not be employed to teach in
the county. The hoard has the well
fare of the children in mind and at
heart when it asks teachers to at
tend summer schools. The schools
of the state are making such rapid
progress that one has to ride in an
airplane to keep up with them. 1t
is the plan of the board to pay a
living salary to the teachers and
make terms of schools long enough
that teachers will get a decent liv-
ing and wear decent clothes and
have sufficient money to attend

MARIE HEIDEL,

ure, they would not allow it to go
to waste or allow it to lose so much
of it's value before spreading it on
the soil. Very few farmers take pro-
per care of the manure produced on
their farms. This is an excusable
loss. Manure cannot be produced
on the farm without live stock, and
the farm without live stock will not
appeal to anyone who has any prac-
tical knowledge of farming in Ten
nessee.
Where all the conditions favor
the production of live stock, and
where we are at a disadvantage in
trying to compete with the grain
farmers of the Middle West, the
farmers of Tennessee should give
more attention to live stock.
Another question with some far
mers is whether the manure or fer
tilizer should be used in the hills or
drills or should be broadcasted. I
broadcast manures always, also fer
tilizers, for corn, sorg hum and like
crops. In seeding wheat or grasses,
I use the fertilizers in the drills.
The reason [ broadcast the manure
and fertilizers for corn is because |
want it where the feeker roots can
reach it when they need it most.
The feeder roots of corn are the lit
tie hairy roots that make a network
from row to row. If the manure was
in the drill where the stalks are
growing the root exposed to the fer
tilizer has become woody and can
not absorb the plant food.
With the intelligent use of barn
yard manures, legumes as cover
crops. and a judicious use of CON-
mercial fertilizers, we can grow pro-
itable crops and improve the fertil-
ty of our soils each year. The diff
ference in labor on an acre cultivat.
ed to get the best results and on an
acre cultivated the way it is ordi-
1arily done is insignificant, while
;he yield can be increased largely.
