A LARGER APPROPRIATION
NEEDED.

In his annual report of inspection oil
nurseries and orchards in the state of
Tennessee druing the year 1910, Prof.
Gordon M. Bentley, state entomolo-
gist, suggests that the appropriation
for the State Board of Entomology be
increased from SO, 900 to $4,000 To
anyone who is familiar with the posi-
bilities of fruit growing in Tennessee,
and the wide range of territory cover
ed by the service of this department,
the suggestion will be regarded as a
very modest one. With the present al
lowance of So, 600 it is indeed difficult
for this bureau to be far reaching in
it's work. There are located in the
state 242 nurserymen,' scattered from
the eastern to the western extremity
of the state. Tennessee is several
hundred miles in length and the trav-
cling expenses alone of the entomolo-
gist amount to large sum and all
must come out of the small appropria-
tion of So, 600 We are loyal Tennes-
scans, but we must admit that our
state is tagging behind the others
states in this respect. From SIS,
to $25, 600 is appropriated by many of
the other states for carrying on SINH
lar inspection and demonstration
work. Is Tennessee not as important
as her sister states in this respect. Is
not Tennessee better adapted to fruit
and nursery production than many
other states that appropriate about ten
times as much for this work. Fruit
growing is in its infancy in this state,
but with a sufficient appropriation a
comfortable appropriation--the State
Board of Entomology can do much to-
ward the development of this indus
try. If the farmers can get this in
creased appropriation (for it is their
appropriation), this would. enable the
board of entomology to establish a
demonstration farm and orchard in all
three of the great divisions of the
state We have confined this argu-
ment to the fruit and nursery indus
try in the state. But suppose we
eliminate them from the argument,
the appropriation suggested is much
needed and can be all spent in con-
trolling and preventing the spread of
insect pests attacking wheat, corn,
cotton and other crops, which destroy
thousands and thousands of dollars
each years. The farmer is the direct
loser, but the state loses thousands of
dollars indirectly each year. When
this matter is brought to the attention
of Governor Hooper, aud each individ-
nal member of the Tennessee legisla-
ture, we shall be much surprised If
they do not give the same serious aud
hasty consideration, and provide
comfortable sum to enable the State
Board of Entomology to extend it's
work, as the present conditions are
demanding. Southern Fruit Grower,

BRIDGE WASHED OUT.


BRIDGE WASHED OUT.
The iron bridge over the bed of
creek from Pryor Cove, which usually
spans dry water course, was torn
from its foundations by the torrent,
which came from the cove, and depos-
tied in the bed of the stream where it
formed dam, which diverted the wa
ter from its channel and sent it cours-
ing down the pike into Jasper. The
current was so swift that horse and
buggy driven by boy named Towles,
and containing a man as passenger,
was overturned near A. L, Robertson S
and the horse was nearly drowned be-
fore being cut loose from the vehicle
The pike was badly torn up for the
distance of nearly a mile.
TWO TRESTLES DAMAGED.
Two trestles between here and JAS
per damaged by the flood. The
bridge crew, after working all day
Tuesday on regular work, worked that
night until O'Clock, but hit the job
again Wednesday, and completed the
job Wednesday night after almost 36
hours of strenuous work. Two forces
should have been but on the job, but
the foreman said he could DO it and
get train through by Wednesday ev-
ening, but he overstimated the job,
and failed in accomplishing what he
had started out to do. His gang had a
pretty severe seige Of work, and an
other force should have been put on.

Causes High Water in This
Section, With Sudden
Avalanche of Water.
Bridges Washed Out and Railroad
Traffic at Standstill.
Heaviest Dow,npour of Rain Ever known Here-Hande
Works Escaped Uuscathed Although 1t Appeared
as if Flood Was Imminent.

Rains that were torrential in force
fell Tuesday throughout this section,
flooding things pretty deep, and caus-
ing Little Sequachee to get out of
banks in few hours. Such rain
as fell here at 4:30 is not known in
the memory of the oldest inhabitant
Streets were converted into raging
rivers and small bridges ripped up.
The rain commenced falling about 10
o'clock and while the downpour was
heavy it was nothing to the fall that
occurred in the afternoon from 2 TO
$50 The heavy rain cloud caused a
darkness, which made it difficult to
see in the houses.
THREATENED TO FLOOD PLANT
Engineer Pryor of the Sequachee
Handle Works, became alarmed at the
rise of waters in the Spring Branch,
which was coming up at the rate of
seven feet an hour, and gave the sig
nal for help about 1900, and in few
minutes the men were on the scene
The forces were divided, a portion I'M
der the leadership of Bookkeeper Min
or and Superintendent Thomas deyot-
ing their attention to the work of
placing finished handles beyond reach
of injury by flood, and another force
under Mr.. Scoheld was stationed on
the bridge with long poles with which
to fend off the drift which was begin
ming to appear, and keep it from lodg-
ing. Both detachments got in good
work. The bridge was kept clear, and
no drift lodged except one tree on two
of the piers, but as it lodged the
height of the tide was reached, and
the water shortly after commenced
falling.
TRAINS CUT OFF
The train schedule of the N. G. 81
st. L. Road was seriously deranged.
The local freight down the Valley
went through all right, but the pas
senger from Chattanooga was maroon
ed near Richard City by the ties float
ing from the road bed, making it dan
gercus to attempt passage, and the
train was held there until the water
went down and track repaired.
JASPER FLOODED
AT Jasper the town was flooded,
with water, the streets resembling an
American Venice About sixty high
school students where unable to get
home and were cared for by the citi |
zens A large number of people were
also in town attending court, and they
were unable to return to their homes
W. II. Martin, Sam Martin and twot
others got through by walking the
railroad from Jasper About thirty |

the attempt, as they had to wade wa
ter thigh deep for nearly hundred
yards near the Simpson place when
