Knoxville Journal: The Anderson
Coal Co. swithch work has Jagged
along much after the fashion of last
week, owing to ilclement weather
and the fact that only few men out,
side the bridge force are now az
work. w. B. Evans, of the Anderson
Coal Co., reluctantly admits that the
prospects for finishing the grading
to the mine before January LIST are
now very slim. There are at least
wo big weeks Of work for so or IS
men before track laying commences
and contractor John Johnson is up
against that sort of a proposition with
less than two dozen men working
'teady. At the mine the matter has
resolved itself to the condition OF
waiting for the train" Entry.driv'

distance now driven to make places
for several miners, but there is no ne,
cessity for. rushing that end of the
work until the finished railroad track

Mr.. Blakeslee has already signified
his intention of attending the conven-
ton, which is to last three days. Sew
eral speakers of national importance
have been secured for the sessions
and their treatment of road topics will
be exceedingly interesting and benefi-

can be read by large numbers of cot

DR.. Knapp's advice is as follows:
l. Prepare a deep and, thoroughly
pulverized seed bed, well drained
Break in the fall to depth of 8, 10
or IL inches, according to the soil
Use the implements that will not bring
too much of the sub-soil to the sur
face. (The foregoing depth should be
reached gradually if the field is brok-
en- by an ordinary turning pillow. II
the disc pillow is used, it is safe to
break to the above depth at once).
2. Practice diversification with crop
rotation. Grow winter cover crops
whenever practicable. If no cover
crop is used, shallow winter cultiva-
ton should be practiced.
3. Use seed of the best variety, in
telligently selected and carefully stor-
ed. Early maturing varieties are gen.
Sioiiy ptCiCl dpiC, especially III DOll
weevilterritory Where the weevil Is
not present they have the advantage
of decreasing the danger of loss by
early frosts in the fall.
4. Delay the planting until the soil
and temperature are warm enough to
make it safe.
5. Use intensive shallow cultiva-
ton.
6. Use section harrow before and
after planting, and ON the young cot
ton.
7. Secure a high content of humus
in the soil by the use of legumes,
barnyard manure, farm refuse and
commercial fertilizers.
8. Accomplish more work in a day
by using more horse power and better
implements.
8. Increase farm stock to the ex-
tent of utilizing all the waste products
and idle lands of the farm.
10. Produce all the foods required
by the men and animals on the farm

her promise to leave Hattiesburg, not
