Whén the electric lights ceased
to burn for a short time Monday
evening, there was one grand scram-
ble for kerosene lamps, “tallow
dips,” ete., in fact any old thing
that made light. One fellow struck
a match and held it to what he
thought was a tallow candle. He
almost took a fit when the light be-
gan running about the room, under
chairs, over the table, here and
there. He held the lighted match
to the cat’s tail.
The Pennsy made one grand mis-
take in its excursion to Niagara
Falls Sunday. They took the
crowd to Buffalo but many re-
turned without seeing the falls as
they were unable to get out of
that city. It would have required
all the trolley cars in Western New
York state to convey that crowd.
For the information of those who
couldn’t get there we would say
that the place is ‘still running.”
Did you notice how many of our
folks had golfitis this summer. Be,
lieve me I've learned a thing or
two. I know that a golf bag on
the front porch means unpulled
weeds in the back yard.

ALABAMA PLANTER SOLVES
A TENANT-FARMING PROBLEM
A serious problem associated
with the tenant-farming system,
that of maintaining soil fertility,
is being solved by a Bullock County,
Ala., planter in a way which is
proving satisfactory to him and
his tenants.. Some years ago,
through a visit to the county made
by the movable school which is a
feature of Alabama’s extension work
with negro farmers, this planter, T.
R. Martin, became convinced that
conditions on his plantation would |
be improved by having the tenant |
boys and girls given some of the |
practical training in farm practices |
which the extension service affords,
in order to help carry out a plan |
for more diversified farming. He |
is, occordingly, paying the
of two of the tenant children in |
attending the extension short course
at Tuskegee Institute, each

summer.
A certain chap in Florin told the |
the ones he |
Another feature of his plan was
| extending his tenants suffi to
[become part owners of small
dairy herd, some purebred pigs,
and a flock of standard bred chick-
fens. These are to be increased with
{the tenants’ ability to feed and
nants and owner
care for them. Te
|share, also, in the proceeds of a
small fruit and nut orchard which
has been established, as well as in
the regular farm crops,
The results of this plan are ap-
arent in the well-kept appearance;
{of the plantation and the flourish-
ing crops in the fields. All of the
tenants’ indebtedness has been’
paid, according to reports to the |
United States Department of Agri-|
culture, and both tenants and land
owner are receiving a comfortable
living and fair profit from a planta-
tion steadily improving in soil
fertility and productiveness.

MOTOR TRUCKS BRING BULK
OF CITIES’ MILK SUPPLY
The motor truck is now the most
important agency for transporting
milk from producer to city distri-
butor, according to the Bureau of
Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
bureau has recently completed a
survey of milk transportation for
eight large cities and has found
that the motor truck, which first
entered the field in 1913, when
most of the milk was transported by
rail and the remaining portion by
wagon, is now the major factor in
the field.
Of the total amount of milk de-
livered to the cities investigated the
amounts delivered by motor truck
were as follows: Baltimore, 45 per
cent; Philadelphia, 20 per cent;
Cincinnati, 97 per cent; Detroit,
88 per cent. Milwaukee, 87 per
cent; St. Paul and Minneapolis, 94
per cent; and Indianapolis, 94 per
cent.
This form of transportation has
been of great benefit in developing
new milk-producing territory for
growing cities and has given the
farmers a more satisfactory means
of delivering their product, The
milk moves directly from the far-
mer’'s gate to the city’s bottling
plant instead of being delivered to
the steam or electric railroad sta-
tion, hauled by rail, and then de-
livered from the city terminal.
In the Baltimore area a farmer's
cooperative trucking association has
been organized with a city ware- |
house, where the milk trucks ecall
for a return load of farmers’ sup-
plies.

From Office.
“MUGGSY” McGRAW.
Seated ir ris office which overlooks
the field of play John McGraw,
manager of the New York Giants
Base Ball Team, recently directed
his players to victory by {:lephone.
Being physically disabled the man-
ager had been prevented from accom-
panying his team to the field for
quite some time.
Determined to give his players the
advice he knew they nceded while
they were playing on their home
ground the master mind manager, as
he 3 called in base ball circles, had
a telephone line installed from his
office to the players’ bench in the dug
out.
This enabled the mahager to direct
hig team both on the offense and de-
fense.
His orders were vecelved at the
other end of the line by his assistant,
who, in turn, signalled them to the
players.
