New York City.-The training

This is the opinion of Vivian
Marlowe, who has captured New

comedy, MERRY Merry"

TT was rather thickly populated for
a mountain community, this broad
valley that lies between the Big Bald
and the bigger Ironhead, and it had
been know for decades as "Helps
Kitchen" because of the small but bit
ter wars that had been waged within
it's rims The teachers Of the newly
established Presbyterian mission
school sought to call it Maplewood
Valley, but the masculine half of the
hill-folk laughed at them and limited
at softening of the brain. Then the
teachers offered to compromise by
calling it "Satan's Kitchen" and the
people met them halfway. So Satans
Kitchen it became, and Satan's Kitch-
en- it is yet.
The Buckmasters didn't live in the
Satan's Kitchen valley. If they had,
the picturesque original name of the
place wouldn't have suited worth a
cent; it would have been altogether
too mild Few in mountainous east
ern Tennessee but have heard the
name Buckmaster without thinking
at the same time Of rifles and pistols,
highway robberies, killings and hang
mems ropes. A thousand mothers,
no doubt, have made bogy men Of
those Buckmasters and thereby
frightened their unruly children into
more or less abject submission. The
Bear Creek Buckmasters bucked the
United States Government, and they
had to lose. They went down with
their boots on, true to their false
principles; all the same, they lost.

Gated, his family history trailed along
on his heels, and the angel In him
went down in utter defeat for three
years. His comrades were exceeding

were afraid of him, and this made
him but more bitter. All through his
term of enlistment he was lone
man, man apart, with the devil In

heaven from the very upper ramparts
of his soul. He reached home to find
people wondering-and not wholly in

Then he changed his name and
went to work with logging outfit

and they discovered his identity; he
was suspected Of having held up and
robbed a payroll messenger, and he
was discharged forthwith He went
to other camps with exactly the same
result-he was Bear Creek Buck

Better Soil Fertility
by Using Rotation Plan

The Ohio experiment station has
doubled the average acre yields on its
farm during the last 25 years. For
a number of years that institution has
been getting an average of ~ bushels
Of corn, 80 bushels Of wheat and %
tons of clover hay per acre. These
crops have been obtained on fields that
have been in three-year rotation for
a quarter of a century, consisting OF
corn, wheat and clover. Prof. f. E.
Bear of the soils department OF that
station says that not only must a rota-
ton of that sort be faithfully carried
out in order to obtain such yields, but
that a lot of other things must be done
as well. This is expressed in the fol
lowing words: '"rhe rotation must in
clude clover and alfalfa or some other
legume at least once every third year
The crops must all be fed or enough
concentrates must be fed to compen-
safe for the hay or grain sold. The
BARNARD must not leak. All liquids
must be saved. Hot fermentation OF
the manure must be stopped. Acid
phosphate must be used regularly
Limestone must be applied as required
Then high yields are guaranteed"

Manure Should Be Taken
Directly to- the Fields

There is only one place where ma
nure can be exposed to- rains, and yet
not lose its value. That is on the
field. If the manure is comparatively
free from noxious weed seeds, this is
the very place for it. hauled and dis
tributed direct from the barns, and If
no field is ready for it, manure will
benefit the pasture. While pIling ma
nure in the field puts the plant food
there, it gives the spots that the pile
covers, the major portion. l saw one
wheat field where this method had
been used and the wheat at the spots
was much higher and deeper green,
says a writer in an exchange. Every
farm should have manure spreader
ready to receive all the manure as
taken out, and 1T should be under a
shed.

Striving for Large
Increases ofFrops
Of Importance to Recognize
Three Factors.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1t Is frequently pointed out by the
bureau of soils Of the United States
Department of Agriculture that the
nation will have to depend upon the
cultivation Of the soil for about one
third of it's combined wheat, corn and
! oats produced; upon crop rotation for
another third, and upon the use of
manures and commercial fertilizers for
the other third. 1t is logical that Gull
zation, that rotation aids in rendering
fertilizers more effective, and that fer
tiliZers increase the value OF rotation.
Recent experiments in Illinois, how
ever, bring out the fact that rotation
and the use of fertilizers, when prac-
ticed together, may interact to the ex-
tent that their conjoin effects, as meas
ured in terms of crop increases, may
be not only equal to but greater than
the sum of their separate effects.
The average yield Of corn obtained
without fertilizers and rotation in this
particular experiment. was pa bushels
per acre. The gain due to using fer
tilizers and lime was 81 bushels per
acre, and the gain due to rotation
alone was 27.S bushels. or practically
three times that obtained from the fer
tfIfzers and lime. The total increase
effected by conjoining rotation and the
use of fertilizers was 44.2 bushels per
acre, or 7.2 bushels greater than the
sum of their separate increases
Other experiments have corroborat-
ed these results. which emphasize the
Importance of recognizing all three
factors I'm striving for permanent soil
productivity.

Straw Contains Much of
Phosphorus and Potash

Straw contains a great deal of phos-
phorus and potash as well as organic
matter. These are all essential ma
terials for plant growth. Their con-
tinual destruction or loss through
burning straw stacks will finally ne
cessitate replacing them through COM
mercial fertilizers-and commercial
fertilizers are expensive.
The only time a straw stack should
be burned is when it is full of weeds.
In such cases more damage is often
done by returning the weed seeds to
the land than the benefit derived from
the straw as fertilizer.-Extensio

Decrease Seen
i1tnsovine TB.
Million "Reactors0 Have
Been Eliminated in Va
rious Sections.

The Department of Agriculture,
through the bureau of animal indus
try, has just announced that federal
Inspections show tuberculosis among
cattle and swine has decreased gen.
orally. According to the report, since
to the bovine tuberculosis tests have
been removed from the cattle of the
United States. Because tuberculosis
poultry have been injecting swine,
the report says, fowl tuberculosis is
now receiving special study.
Text Of Announcement.
The full text of the announcement
follows:
According to charts prepared in the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, boz
vine tuberculosis has shown gen.
eral decline since 1916, and tuber-
culosis of swine has decreased since
1924 The charts, which are based
on records of federal meat inspection,
cover sufficiently large number of
animals to be considered representa-
tive of conditions in the cattle and
swine industries.
Though the improvement of the tu-
berculosis situation Is shown, infec-
ton among cattle and swine received
at federally inspected packing estab-
lishments is still rather extensive.
Records for the fiscal year 1926 show
that nearly II per cent of swine
showed tuberculosis to some extent,
though LESSONS were of minor ma
ture in large proportion of the cases.
The corresponding figure for cattle
was 1.3 per cent for the same period.
in 1916 about 90 per cent of cattle
showed infection, per cent more than
last year. In 1924 about 1872 per cent
of the swine inspected were diseased.
Reports from field workers indicate
that the large extent Of infection
among swine is caused partly by tu-
berculous poultry. Accordingly, fowl
tuberculosis has been receiving spe-
cial study by Observation-Disclosures
officials.
Coincident with the decline of this
disease among cattle and hogs, a de-
creasing human death rate from tu-
berculOsis is shown by recent re-
port of the Department Of Commerce.
The low death rate Of children under
four years may be attributed in part
to the aggressive campaign for test
ing tuberculous cattle and disposing
of reactors. Since 1917, when the
present tuberculosis campaign was
undertaken, more than a million reac-
tors have been removed from the cat
tie of the United States

8. Thou shalt not permit thy seed
to fall on poorly prepared ground, but
be wise that thine efforts fncreaseth
thy yields.
9. Thou shalt cast new seed upon
thy pastures and disk them also that
