alkS to Farmers
BY T. F. PECK
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
RAISING CATTLE.
BY T. F. Pee

Agriculture throughout the en-
tire country is facing serious prob
lens. The complaint about pre-
vailing low prices for all farm pro-
ducts ia a familiar cry. Cotton
farmers of the South have been
hurt by the low prices their pro-
duct has been bringing, and added
to this they are having 10 combat
the boil weevil. They realize that
they must diversity their crops so
as to have something besides cot
ton as a money producer. Many
of them are considering live stock
production as an industry.
For cattle raising the South has
many advantages that other Sec
tions do not have, and now is an
opportune time for the Southern
farmers to take up this industry
more extensively, as the big ranges
of the West are disappearing, the
land being devoted to the produc-
ton of the grain crops. We have
an abundance of pure water in the
South, and especially in Tennessee.
Much of our land is not suitable
for extensive grain farming with
heavy farm machinery, but is we'll
suited for growing grasses aid the
best of hay, while the bottom lands
can produce the grain crops for To-
cal consumption. We are in easy
distance of the meat consuming
centers. No more practicable or
profitable method of restoring fer.
tility to the soil can be practiced
than growing live stock, beef and
dairy cattle.
The State has been for some
years free from the cattle tick, and
the work of bovine tuberculosis
eradication is we'll under way.
The pure breds, both in the beef
and dairy breeds, are rapidly TAX
ing the place Of the scrubs. The
experience of our breeders who
havs gone into the show rings in
competition with the world, shows
what our State can produce. Any
one who questions our ability to
produce as good as the best any
where has only to 60 to the big
State fairs to be convinced that
nature has been liberal in her pro-
vision in Tennessee for the cattle
industry.
Our climatic conditions are most
favorable. We have fine grazing
lands and our soils will grow a
wide range of forage and grain
crops. Tennessee can in truth be
made "the stockman's paradise" "
With the right kind of live stock
associations, our live stock can be
marketed to advantage. Those en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits have
been slow to appreciate the benefits
of cooperative effort, but they are
now rapidly waking up.
If we fail to develop the live
stock industry, especially cattle
raising in the State, we will be do
ing an injustice to our soils, neg
lecting God-given advantages for
the industry,
We avethe best favored section
Of the country for the profitable
production of live stock. Let us
prove that we have the capacity to
profit by the favors and advantages
SO bountifully bestowed on US. We
will be unjust to ourselves and to
the future of our State If we fail to
profit by our great natural ladvan-
tages for the production of live
stock of all kinds.

WHO is THE
QUEEN OF SHEBA2

QUEEN OF SHEBA2
L heard man say not long ago
that the whole country had gone
crazy on the subject of education.
This was was an influential citizen
"a man of intelligence, man Of
means, an honorable man.
His statement worried us some-
what. did not ask the gentleman
to explain exactly what he meant,
but from his remark [ gathered
that he thonght too much was be-
ing spent for education. After 1

was right about it. | began to
look over some statistics to see
what | could learn. After [ looked
a bit came to this conclusion: If
spending money for education is q
sign OF craziness, the "whole coun-
try" may be crazy, but Benton
County is approximately sane.
Look at these figures and see
what you think about it.

as buildings, libraries, desks,. etc.,
per child enrolled:
United States, 1918. -. $95
Tennessee, 1921. 49,. Al
Benton County, 1921. -. Is
By the above figures it may be
seen that Benton County has less
than one-ffth as much invested in
school property per child AS the
United States average of 1918, and
the average for the United States
is doubtless much greater now.
And further, Benton County has
only little more than two-ffths
as much invested per child as the
State average.
If the whole country is crazy on
education, then it must be an indi-
cation of said dementia to invest
S95 per child in school houses and
equipment. If $95 represents to-
tai insanity, then Benton County
is four-fifths sane.
If group of alienists should ex-
anime us we might not be able to
prove our sanity with only one ex-
ample, SO let's go little further.
Annual cost of all schools-city,
country, elementary and the high
schools per child enrolled:

does it?

BRAINS OF NATION
ARE BEHIND GREAT
new YORK. EVENT
Ninety-two Manufacture
ers Will Display Their
Beauties Jan. Z.

Those fortunate folk who found
a beautiful shining automobile left
by Mr.. Santa Claus at the front
door this Christmas may appropri-
ately give q thought or two to one
potent fact
That is, that one reason why that
car is so charming and runs so
beautifully is that twenty-one ma
tional automobile show seasons
have preceded IL. Furthermore that
the forthcoming National Automo-
bile Show in Grand Central Palace
the week OF January 7-l4 and IN
Chicago, January 2S-February 4.
represents the elimination to date
of all the brains and ingenuity of
thousands of inventors, designers
and engineers who have contributed
TO the industry since its inception.
Every year since 1900. when the
first automobile show was held in
New York City, the motor car in
dustry has set a new record for its
eNpositions. Particularly is this
true since the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce sponsored
the annual event. and the display
that will open in the Palace, prom
ises even to eclipse the show of
previous years.
For the 1922 show no less than
9. manufacturers have taken space,
a total which exceeds the best
previous year, 1921. by four. Incl
dent and also important is the fact
that twelve new makes Of cars VIII
be exhibited at New York. This
goes far to prove that although
automobiles have been practical for
more than two decades, capital is
still available to back legitimate
ventures in the motor car field. II
also proves that the automobile in
dustry has a future which is GER
tain and that there will be no re-
progression. This Is because the
motor car has become a necessity
not only in business and social
lines. but is absolutely vital in the
commercial life OF the country.

SAYSSILENT CHAIN
WORKS SMOOTHLY
Advises Owners to Adjust
Drives So as to Get
Proper Tension.

With silent chain drives coming
more and more into prominence as
means OF driving the camshaft
and the accessory drive shafts on
the modern automobile engine, it Is
well for the garage and repairman.
as well as the car owner to be for
titled with an understanding of
the conditions under which such
chains operate to best advantage
and the ways and means of Erecting
adjustments and requirements.
The silent chain runs best and
is most efficient only when so ad-
justed as to operate at the proper
tension. For this reason. with mod
ern silent chain installations prop
er provision is always made for ad-
justfng the chain to compensate
for wear. stretch and sprocket tooth
wear which tend to cause slackness.
1t was the failure to provide
means for proper chain adjustment
on the original installations which
for a time some years back caused
the chain drive to be looked upon
in somewhat Of an unfavorab1e light
since when wear occurred with nu
means provided for adjustment II
was essential that new chain
be provided and in some cases new
sprockets before the drive could
be returned to its original state OF
quiet operation.
True, many repairmen effected
adjustment on this type of drive
by the simple expedient OF remov-
ing the timing gear casing cover
and inserting a block of lignum
wilma or fiber, so shaped as to bring
just enough pressure to bear on
the back of the chain to take up the
slack and provide quiet action again.
But the restored silence lasted onfy

tact-and with a rough chain that
was not particularly long.

to find that the means provided FOR

ENGLISH BUSES
PROVE POPULAR
Says Char-a-bane Models
Find Prominent Place
In London.

In England the char -banc, or
motor bus. is taking the place Of
the low priced automobile for many
people of average means. reports
an automobile expert, who has just
sent back an interesting report on
the London automobile show.
The char-a-banc came into gen
eral popularity Immediately after
the war and has developed rapidly
in popularity. 1t is principally used
for special excursions to the sea-
shore and countryside. The char-a-
banc carries from thirty to thirty
five passengers On the average.
They have had a very good year
in 1921 due to an unusually early
spring and late fall and a very hot
summer. which drove people to seek
the out-of-doors as often as pos
sible Most of the char-a-bancs
have no tops as the Englishman
likes plenty of fresh air. There ap-
pears to be a development, how
ever. toward an "all-weather'' top.
The usual type is split up with
long cross-wise seats. each holding
five passengers with entries by side
doors opposite each eat. One rather
unusual body exhibited at the show
had permanent tops at the front
and rear of the car, while the CEN
ter portion was open. This center
-~--i"~. ''"r.-"ver had windows
which could be lowered into the
sides and a top that could be rolled
back. thus providing either open or
closed driving.
Another type of. passenger-carry-
ing vehicle which Is growing In
popularity is the motor which Is
used for regular trips between
towns or for extended tours, such
as up into Scotland or over into
France.
These have closed bodies and are
quite well appointed. One Of the
finest cars at the show was a motor
coach built to carry twenty-siS
persons; the interior was finished
in veneerea walnut and divided into
two compartments. Seats were not
arranged in a fixed order. but con-
sisted of ather-upholstered chairs
arranged as they might be in a
drawing room: each compartment
also had a folding table.
