Ely Wouldn't Be
Missed--Curly

BOSTON, June IL. (UPl.-
Threat of Former Governor Jos.
B. Ely of Massachusetts, to "take
a walk" from the Democratic
party yesterday drew from his
successor, Governor James M.
Curly, the comment that such &C
ton would have "no damaging
effect on the cause of democracy"
Ely, in an exclusive statement
to the United Press Tuesday night,
had said he would cast his lot
with the Republican party if the
1886 Democratic platform sug-
gests a revival of New Deal pol
icies already declared unconsti-
tutional.
Though both are Democrats,
Ely and Curley have long been at
odds.

Cows MILK Cost
Of Production Is
Cut By Roughage

Good pasture and other rough

of the Bureau of Dairy Industry,
"arc the basis for a low feed
cost in producing milk and but
tcrfat."
There are two reasons why
pasture and other homegrown
roughageS help cut the cost of
producing milk. They are usually
the cheapest crops in which the
farmer can grow feed nutrients,
and the COW can eat enough good
iIgluge to obtain more than
half the nutrients she needs for
her highest milk yield.
In a series Of longtime feeding
experiments Bureau dairymen are

The pest can be controlled, he
declared. The first step in control
begins immediately after harvest
and consists OF a general clean
up Of the orchard and the packing

Al dropped fruit under the

This is important, because the
last brood OF worms leaves the

allowed to lie around, and hiber-
mates in projected places in the
ground. under loose tree bark,
and in cracks, Niswonger pointed
out.
Many worms hide in cracks and
corners of apple containers used
in gathering fruit. They will also
get into the packing house unless
Kept out by control methods. Look
for worms and destroy all found,
he advised.
Scrapc loose bark off the trees,
then gather and burn the chips.
Scout around the edge Of the
orchard for worthless or uncared-
for apple trees. Often these trees
are skipped at spraying time, and
they afford good breeding place
for the coddling moth.

It's success ~ i'm all cases Of in

the fact that the first sire was an

ing fertility OF seriously weaken

The iubrecding trials began i'm
1915. About - grade dairy COWS

mated with his daughters. An in

inbred grandson became herd sire
No. 3. This grandson, mated to
his own dam, sired the fourth
hcId bull. He i'm turn was mated
with this same dam TO produce
bull No. ,. This herd probably is
the most inbred in the country.
Daughters of the first bull and
the foundation COWS averaged an
increase Of TOO pounds OF butter

although il has remained at a
high level with further inbreed-

lighter in weight, Us are the ma

The Bureau concludes that the
only way to find whether a dairy
bull that increases production
should be used for inbrecding is
70 mate him with his daughters.
II the bull has the right factors

Winter Storage
Pointers Offered

If vegetables Sprout and grow
in the cellar, it indicates that the
temperature is too high. Open the
windows on cold nights and close
them on warm days.
Persons who have no furnace
in the cellar find that SQuaShcS,
pumpkins. and onions keep well
in the attic or in Il vacant room
upstairs. These vegetables keep
best at temperatures near frccz-
ing, OF around 81 degrees Fahren-
hcit.
Persons who have no furnace
i'm the cellar find their biggest
problem is to keep certain root
and leaf crops that need cool and
moist storage. A special storage
room can be- built in one corner
of the cellar with waste lumber
and building paper or with insu-
lating boards for the walls. The
storage room should be built large
enough to include shelves for
candCd goods aS well aS storage
spaces for fruits and vegetables.
Il should have at least one win
dow. If good use is made of the
space, storage room, with a
floor area eight by ten feet will
hold about all the vegetables used

Is DENIJ NSTRATlON FARMS
BEING CONDUCTED IN COUNTY
IN COOPERATION WITH IVA
All Are Being Operated Under FveYear Plan Subject
to Change if Changing Conditions Warrant
BY D. W. Bennett
Assistant Ccurty Agent


At the present time Henderson
County has scv"nty-thrcc Demon
station Farms that are conducted
under the Agricultural Extension
department i'm cooperation with
the Tennessee Valley Authority.
These farms all have their farm
management plans planned out
for five wears. Of course. these
plans may be changed to meet
changing situations.
Each farm has a crop rotation
worked out for five years. All
farmers are encouraged to have
4 three or more years rotation.
These rotations usually consist Of
corn the first year followed by
small grain and LcspcGrZa the
second and LespedcZa or Red
Glover the third year. BY follow
ing such a rotation, a crop yields
may be increased to as much rs
10 per cert IS compared to con-
tinuous row cropping.
Farmers are also encouraged
10 improve their pastures as well
- cnlarging them. Poor pasture,
in which it takes four or five ac-
res to produce enough grass for
one cow. may be made to produce
enough grass on two acres for Il
COW if it is properly fortified
with Triple SupcrphOSphate and
lime. Many Of our farmers would
i cmuch better of financially ii
they would stop fighting grass
and put moro of their land in
good permanent pasture. Much Of
our sci! erosion could be control
led if farmers would plant their
steep hillSides in grass and forest
trees. Land with more than fiji
teen or twenty per cent slope
should never be planted in row
crop.
Many Of the Demonstration Far
mcrS are tcrracing the subSoiling

means for conserving the water
in the soil and prevent erosion.
