MILITARY DAY
TRI-STATE FAIR.
Arkansas Troops Make
Good Showing—One Wound
ed in Sham Battle.
Wednesday’s Memphis Commercial Appeal
Khaki and gray were conspicu
ous yesterday on the grounds of
the Tri-State Fair. It was Mili
tary Day, and ex-Confederate Day,
officially speaking, at the fair, and 1
both the troops and the brave old
boys who fought for the “storm ^
cradled nation that fell’ ’ made the 1
occasion a pleasant one and each *
were distinct features at the fair.
Three Companies, B, L and M, j
Second battalion, First Tennessee |
infantry, commanded by Major J.
B. Horton, executed many of the j
latest military evolutions on the
grounds, and especially was the
sham battle which took place late *
in the afternoon, enjoyed by the 1
bie crowd. '
In the sham battle a blockhouse :
was stormed by the three com
panies, the men scattering, duck- i
ing and firing with delightful
realism. The blockhouse was held
by Company Or, Arkansas First
regiment of infantry, and a number
of other troops belonging to vari
ous regiments. The blockhouse
defenders were game and took
good aim, killing two and wound
ing three of the attacking army, :
only one man being hit by a frag
ment of a shell in the blockhouse.
The spectators were delighted with
the battle. I
The former wearers of the gray :
arrived on the grounds individally. ,
That is, many of them visited the I
fair with their wives, children or 1
grandchildrn and renewed acquain
tances after they got witin the
gates. Many of the veterans
bought luncheons at one of the
many booths on the grounds, got
out on the grass under the shade
of a tree and partook of the repast
while they discussed the events of
of the time when they were fight
ing Dixie’s battles.
The sham battle took place
about 5:30 o’clock and was wit
nessed by a big crowd, who be- ,
came very much interested as the I
firing became general. The Ten
nessee troops attacked a fort in
possession of Arkansas troops and
a number of other soldiers from
mixed regiments. The attack
was made from three different
places at the same time. The
battle was hot while it lasted, but
in less than an hour the fort ran
up the white flag, Gen. Hackney
surrendered and handed his sword
gracefully to Gen. Horton.
ATTACK WELL PLANNED
The attacking maneuvers were
splendid. The men scattered ,
beautifully, ducked nicely and
fired with regularity and determi
nation. The attacking army was
forced to cross a wide plain to
reach the fort, and did so under a
withering fire from the defenders
of the fort- Two killed and three
wounded under these circumstan
ces is not a bad record- In the
Arkansas-mixed army only one
man received a slight wound,
which was caused by the frag
ment of a shell hitting him while
he was swabbing a cannon.
The hospital corps and Red
Cross nur»es took charge of the
dead and gave immediate relief to
the wounded.
Major R. B. Keating, of the
First regiment, Arkansas infantry
was an interested spectator at both
the drills and the battle. He pro
nounced the work of the Tennessee
troops to be excellent, and said
that Major Horton and the various
officers under him, whom he had
met while here, were splendid
soldiers and most delightful and
edtertaining gentlemen. Major
Keating said that Arkansas would
send her full share of troops to
the Tri-State Fair next year.
Pined the Seed Dealer.
A farmer In Wisconsin brought salt
against a seed dealer because he sold
him bird rape seed Instead of the
dwarf Bssex variety, and the crop
developed a lot of noxious weeds that
greatly damaged the farm. The court
gave the farmer I2M damages.

Agriculture In the Public 8ehools.
Professor S. A. Mlnear of Port
Itockton, Texas, in National Co
iperator, says:
School gardening is presented with
he elements of permanency inherited
n itself, for Europe nas over a hun
Ired thousand school gardens today,
vhich have become a feature of the
iducational field.
In Cleveland and Dayton, Ohio, in
Philadelphia and Kansas City, it has
'alsed adjoining real estate, and in
he city of San Antonio, Texas, it
las raised the value of lots where
children worked with the soil and
(rowing plants.
This work is comparatively new to
rexas, but it is not, however, in an
ucperlmental stage, ror in the District
>f Columbia, Connecticut, New York
ind other states it has been conduct
id with various results.
On the other hand, there are many
tducators who look upon this work as
i fad, but they are stimulated by po
ltical movements, which will event
lally fade away.
Agriculture in a broad sense is the
primary basis of wealth in this eoun
;ry, and we should do all in our power
x> bring early to the mind of the
child facts which will point out the
lecessity and importance of such
work conducted on a systematic and
scientific basis.
It is well known by all who have
the opportunity of being connected
with the public schools, that the pub
ilc school education causes us to for
set our relationship to the soil and
joints to the farmer as being a man
without a future. To allow such ta
continue is a sad mistake and will no
loubt injure the child.
The work in a city may be entirely
liSerent from what it should be in a
rural district. In the city the main
Ideas should be to combine moral and
physical training, to throw off the
:lass room restraints and to give the
child an opportunity to stretch its
limbs. To accomplllsh such, it should
be done through some form of manual
training, and there is no form better
than the Bchool garden.
In the rural districts the point of
riew should not be to maintain com
mon methods used at home. The
mental strain does not exist in these
schools as in the city, because the
average country boy brings about the
equilibrium between the mental and
physical functions, therefore it would
be wise to teach an elementary prin
ciple of agriculture in such schools,
and have a garden where it could be
conducted In a manner which would
sventually effect the Industrial devel
cpment of this state.
No attempt heretofore has been
made to present the methods for this
state in a written form and I hope
these chapters will help lead the waj
to better things. Conditions existing
at San Antonio, Texas, have been
constantly kept in mind in preparing
this work; therefore, what is said
will vary according to the locality.
The community system of garden
Ing is where the children take care ol
the garden In general. This system
does not strongly develop the idea ol
Individual responsibility, and a boj
has a tendency to care little for th«
plants which others have shared it
producing. This brings about laci
of interest and many boys will shir!
responsibility.
The Individual system is when
each boy possesses a small plot ol
ground for a garden. Each boy per
forms every operation of preparation
planting and general care of th«
plants grown in his garden. Thif
Bystem furnishes a basis of valuabl«
knowledge and Is superior to an]
system yet tested. __
