Col Hanford MacNider, national
commander of the American Legion,

official statement, following confer
ences with Senate leaders.
Through the courtesy Of the press
! wish to let veterans of the World
War and their friends know that the
adjusted compensation bill will be
passed by the Senate this week, 3"
said MacNider's statement.
"The House of Representatives
last spring approved it by the I'M
precedented vote of 333 to 20. In
June it was reported favorably by
the Senate finance committee and
made the special order of business
following the tariff bill. The ma
jority party in the Senate at that
time pledged itself neither to recess
nor adjourn until our bill has been
disposed of.
"The tariff bill is now out Of the
way and the Senate will take up the
adjusted compensation bill Wednes-
day. have just completed a per-
sonal canvass of the situation here,
which shows that a majority of the
Senate, including both parties, IA
vors the bill and is pledged to vote
for its passage. The American
Legion has complete confidence in
the integrity and good faith of these
senators, 1t realizes that they be-
lieve in the justice Of the cause Of
the soldier. The legion knows that
they will keep the faith they have
pledged and pass the bill now"
Legion officials stated Monday

showed that the bonus bill would pass
by more than two-thirds majority,
there being SO votes lined up for the
bill.

their 2Ist annual meeting at Column
bia August 8, 8 and 10. A splendid
program was carried out ard several
hundred farmers returned to their
homes with many new ideas Of value
and q renewed interest and confidence
in the business Of farming.
One of the notable features Of the
meeting was the renewed interest the
farmers showed in livestock topics,
especially in hogs and cattle. The
sheen industry in Middle Tennessee
has held up well in the face of the
depression which has lowered over
the livestock world, but hog and cat
tie production in the section has ex-
perienced slump and it is signifi-
cant that the farmers of this section
Of the state are turning with interest
back to these.
One Of the important facts for
farmers that was brought out by
every speaker, including a
number OF successful farmers and
livestock producers was that the man
who gets ahead sticks to the game, be
it raising hogs, cattle, sheep, clover,
fruits Of what not, regardless of the
ups and downs in prices and that the
surest way to fail was to jump from
one crop or kind of livestock every
time it looked little more promis-
ing to do so. The farmer who does
this is doomed to failure Decide on
a definite farm program and stick to
it was the keynote of the various
messages given to those attending the
meeting.
While the program was the strong
est that has ever been given, still
the meeting was not as we'll attended
as in previous years, which was one Of
the disappointing features.

"Boarder" Hens.

In Hawkins county last spring a
farmers wife had IS hens and was
getting Is eggs a day. She decided
to sell the flock. A neighbor who had
learned how to Gull poultry from the
home demonstration agent proposed
to buy 20 Of the hens if she might be
allowed to select them This was
agreed upon and the neighbor bought
the 20 hens. The next day she got
Is eggs from the 20 hens, while the
owner got none from the re-
flock of 65 hens She had
been feeding 65 "boarders." How
many boarders are YOU feeding?

Red Top and Japan Clover For Light
Gravelly Land.

"For light gravelly land know Of
nothing better to use for permanent
pasture than red and Japan clover"
says j. C. McAmis, crop specialist,
Extension Service, University Of Ten
nessee. "Sow the land in rye this fall,
using 200 pounds acid phosphate to
the acre, and then sow II pounds red
top, either at the same time that you
sow the rye or in early March. In
late March sow 10 pounds Japan
clover to the acre.

only objection to it is that after Ber-
muda has established itself well cuI-
tivated crops grow with difficulty.
Instead of sowing the seed, lay off
the land with a bull-tongue pillow
about three feet apart, drop small
bits of seed in these burrows about
two feet apart, then cover lightly
with a pillow. The planting of Ber-
muda should be done in May"

That failure to replenish the soil,
ignorance of the basic principle of
nature in the production of crops
and lack of knowledge OH the part OF
the average farmer of the fundamen-
tai is the thing that is holding pros
perity from the farmer of today, was
the keynote Of the message brought
Middle Tennessee farmers by George
R. James, Memphis banker and
farmer.
AT the annual session of the Mid
die Tennessee Farmers Institute
recently Mr.. James drove home the
fact that the greatest problem that
c0nfronts the farmers today is the
question of soil fertility and their
ignorance of same. CAS- Che soil, so
the people, and he emphasized the
fact that rich, prosperous people is
never found on poor land, vet in every
community some farmers are going
right along robbing the soil of liv-
ing, taking every thing and return
ing nothing. That is why farming is
going backward instead of forward
from a productive and profitable
standpoint, he declared. "The green
is used out of the soil and the crops
are coming up yellow. Farmers can
not continue to do this and get away
with it. Nature, unaided, fails to
meet the requirements of man. The
human mind must take charge and
bring out and make useful the things
in natures stOrehouse. That is the
basic law and man will suffer if he
ignores it. Most of our farmers are
working against this law instead of
with it, and any man who will rob
his soil, numbering his crops thereby,
will suffer in the end. On the other
hand, the man who will make land
rich will be made rich by the land.
The population is ever increasing
and that means more food stuff must
be produced to feed them. If the
farmer of today and the farmer Of
the future does not leave his land
richer when he passes on than it was
when he took it this nation is doomed.
The law Of the survival of the fittest
IS ever on the Job and the day is COM
inc when the man who will not re-
plenish his soil will have to step down
and out and see the man who will 20
on to success and prosperity. The
person who is capable of rendering the
greatest service in the form of use
fitness will be the one who will reap
the rewards.
In eva'Y community you will find
q successful and prosperous farmer,
and if you will investigate he is a
man who replenishes his soil, studies
his land and livestock. He uses lime,
legumes, crimson clover and grows
livestock for the lands sake. Changes
are continually confronting every line
of industry and the business man and
farmer who succeeds must be on the
alert to adjust himself to these
changed conditions and the man who
fails to do this will fail and that lis
why 50 many farmers are going down
hill"

The first carload of poultry sup
plies coming into Caldwell destined
for single producer was handled this
week through the Caldwell Produce
company, according to A. B. Cooper,
of the firm. Another car for
general distribution, based on orders
already received, is to arrive shortly.
As a result of the activities of the
COOPERATIVE Poultry Producers as
sociation, there is a marked increase
in this business, according to Mr..
Cooper. The potential popularity Of
lettuce production is reflected already
through the purchase of 100 pounds
of seed through this firm for planting
next summer This quantity will
plant almost 100 acres.
