days late this week.
I-ast week the paper appeared late,
due to the fact that a mail sack containing

train and carried to either Atlanta or
Knoxville. and did not return until
Tuesday night ol this week. The

THE FARMERS TUNE IN
For the farmers radio has ceased
to be a novelty and has become an
important utilitv. Tn-dav tho u.v.?d*r?
largest user of radio for informational
purposes is the United States Department1
f Agriculture. Daiiv it
broadcasts from 100 station its educational
programs lasting for a half
hour or more. In addition it broad
caits market news service and weather
forecasts.
Secretary Jardine says a potential
million farmers are bei^ig reached
daily by the department's educational
programs. "Within a few years. Secretary
Jardine adds, it will be pos-!
sible to have the attentive ear of almost
every farmer in the United 1
States.
Regular and careful guidance by ;
tadio can place agriculture in a
strong and secure position. A lack
of unity in thought and action has !
worked to retard agriculture. Radio
can serve to weld the fnrrr.ers into a
strong unit. ^
Secretary Jardine declares this
welding process is going on today.
He points out that day by day each
fanner and each group receives the
same counsel. Gradually, all agricultural
interests can be expected to
ihare more equally correct knowledge
o: production and marketing piinciples,
thus mobilizing their strength.
The possibilities for constructive
organization and concerted action
were never so good before the advent
of the radio.

JUST AN AMERICAN
BED-BUG
i s
An Englishman had come to visit
one of his old friends who had settled 51
in America during the colonial period.
Unfortunately, hie friend was
called away on business on the day 1
that the Englishman arrived, but before
leaving he assigned a negro ser- t
vant to the care of the Englishman <
and left instructions for the negro to j
; show the Englishman where the best ?
hunting and fishing places were. t
The next day the Englishman and ?
negro went hunting and the Engl'shnian
was lucky enough to kill several t
large turkey. This made the negro j
cry jubilant, and he decided to boast
. about the American turkeys. i
"Say," he said, "dese am bigger t
rurkeys dan dem ober in Englan,' i
ain't dev. marster?" \
"No," replied the Englishman, t
"these are just sparrow-size to tho-se
>f England." <
There were not any furkeys in i
England at that time, but the negro
didn't know it, so what the English- i
man said considerably lessened his
high spirits. The rest of the day he i
had very little to snv.

The following day they went fishng
and caught many large sized fish,
fhe negro thought that they were
urely larger than those in England.
"Say, marster," he said, "I bet de?
im bigger fish dan dem in Englan'."
"Oh, no," replied the Englishman,
'these are just minnow-size to those
n England."
Greatly humiliated, the negro
ouk part of the fish and started to
rarry them home. On the way he
net a man who had a large, snapping
urtle. Thinking that he would play
t trick on the Englishman, he swapped
part of the fish for the turtle,
rhen when he got home he took the
urtle to the Englishman's room and
>laced it in his bed.
That night the Englishman had

urtle grabbed him by the leg. Yellng
with pain he began rolling and
umbling about over the bed trying
;o get loose.
"What's de matter, cap'n, what'a

into the room.
"What in the world is this?"
groaned the Englishman.
