1912 BOYS POTATO CLUB
Cumberland County Lads Get
Great Results

Objeect-The club was or
ganized to teach better farm
ing; o show what this soil is
capable of doing; to establish
potato growing as an industry,
and to develop a market for the
potatoes grown. Whether we
have done any of these can on
| ly be judged by results.
Yield-Of the 40 boys who
joined the club 16 made final
and complete reports, their av-
erage yield being 25S bushels
per acre, compared to the av-
erage of the State of 80 bushels
per acre. Average of the five
best yields 35S bushels per acre.
Best yield 3S4 bushels per acre,
made by Green Taylor, who re-
ceived the first prize of $40 for
the best yield.
These yields prove that the
Cumberland Plateau can grow
more potatoes than Tennessee
imports 100000 bushels.)
Profit-Counting all cost of
producing the crop as follows:
Rent $500 per acre; manure
$500 pei load; time 10c per
hour, and fertilizer and other
things at cost, amounting to
$500 per acre. Counting po-
tatoes worth soc per bushel.
Average net profit for all boys
$51.00 per acre. Average net
profit for five best yields $500
per acre. Best profit $111.0O
per acre made by Ed Hyder who
won first prize of $4,000 given
for best profit.
Some Other Prize Winners
Joe Stevens, yield 367 bushels;
net profit at soc per bushel $78.
Samuel Toilet, yield 1927 BUSH
els; net profit at SOC per bushel
$76. Garrison Morrow, yield
1928 bushels; net profit at SOC
per bushel $52. Cornell Cline,
yield 304 bushels; net profit at
soc per bushel $50.
All yields were certified to
by two disinterested men, one
of whom witnessed the digging.
The Club will continue with
larger enrolment for 1913.

useless to deny this. Coeducation is
the limit Of absurdity. Teach girls

I have received letter from an

Of fond parents just what was in the
letter. Here is my answer, writes
Edgar Lucien Larkin in the New York

Your daughter is in precarious
mental state. You ask me what to do,
and I gladly reply Burn her algebra;
or, far better, let her tear out the
leaves and cast them one by one into
the fire, and then the cover. Take
her out of school and go with her to
moving picture shows: Take her to
he country, give the harassed and
tired mind rest. Never let her eyes
look upon an algebra again. Neither
she nor any other girl has. or ever
will have, any use for algebra.
Upon recovery Of her mental poise
return her to the public school, Then,
If any attempt is made to force the
torture of algebra upon her, take her
out and send her to private school
where differences, yes, differences,
between minds are allowed for in in
struction. :: 49,

The Pork BarrelI'' Idea in Roads


There is one feature of the Dunn
good roads bill, now pending in the
senate, that illustrates the "pork
barrel" therory on which it is the ap-
parent purpose to run road improve
ment in this state. The constitution,
as amended few years ago, provides
that not less than one-half of one per
cent nor more than three per cent of
the state good road fund may be spent
In any one county. This is a restric-
ton bad enough in ITSELF But the
Dunn bill provides that the minimum
spent in each county shall be one per
cent.
Consider what that means. There
are now eighty-six counties in the
state. Probably in a few years, as the
large northern counties are settled
up and divided, there will be ninety
or more. That will mean that with
one per cent to each county, ninety
per cent Of the whole will be assign
ed in advance. There will be only ten
per cent left for work in the counties
that need it most. The counties al
ready we'll provided, comparatively
speaking, will get their one per cent,
whether or no, and those in direct
need can have scarcely any more than
that. In other words, the state high
way commission under this bill would
be so restricted in it's work that it
could scarcely do more than distri-
butte the fund equally to the counties,
small and large, old and new, rich
and poor. Little chance for devel-
oping an effective system of radial
roads opening up all sections of the
state would be afforded
Another defect of the Dunn bill is
in the machinery it provides for vot-
ing road bonds. This CONNECTS SER
iously with the provisions of the III
we'll law, which has already proved
50 beneficent a help in road develop
ment. Attempt was made in the
house to fix this by adding a clause
providing that the Dunn bill must
not be held to repeal in any way the
Elwell law. Whether this clumsy
device to hide instead of remedy a
conflict will prove effective is ques-
ton that would puzzle even good
lawyer to answer.
1t is to be hoped that tne senators
will be able to look at the question
of good roads leg islation from state
rather than from a local point of
view. They can perform no more
patriotic or necessary duty than to
amend the bill so as to provide effec-
tive state machinery for the build
ing of roads Systematically and we'll.
They should cut out the 'pork bar
Eel" idea entirely. 1t means large
waste and poor results.

cry of a human being shouting foc
help.
The count took one of the carriage
lamps and started in the direction OF
the sound. In the middle of a clearing
he discovered a man writhing in pain
his legs having been caught in a wolf
trap.
Aided by the coachman, the count
succeeded in opening the cruel jaws
of the steel trap and set the unfortu-
nate man free. His legs were bleed
ing freely, so the count told the
coachman to carry him to the road,
while he himself hurried toward the
hut, where LuCienne was waiting for
him
When he arrived the hut was empty.
He examined every nook and corn ~,
but there was no trace of his wife. 4
presentment of something dreadful
overCame him. The man he had just
freed from the trap-WhO was he?
| Why, it was Chertier. the poachec.
And what was he doing here, scarce
ly twenty steps from the charcoal
Burners hut? Had he taken revenge
for the blow he had received earlier
in the day? He must know some
thing; he must be made to speak,
The count ran back to the carriage.
"Chertier." he cried, what has be-
come of the woman who was in the
hut? Answer me! Do you know?
Where is she? why don't you speak,"
The man remained silent, occasion
ally his pale face was convulsed
either with pain or because he was
making an effort to speak. His lips
trembled, but no sound came.
The count placed him inside the
carriage, told the coachman to drive
quickly to the chateau, and a doctor
was sent for. He examined the
wounded man and worked over him
for nearly an hour while the count
stood by watching every movement
and pleading with the man to speak.
MY dear count" the doctor said
at last. that man will never speak
again. He wants to say something,
/ his eyes tell me that, but he can not.
He is able to hear. see and under

As the moments passed the wound
| ed man grew more and more excited
| an excitement he could express only
| through his eyes. Their expression
| changed continually, but the language
! they spoke nobody understood.
| Suddenly he made a supreme effort
! to break the power that held him par
alyzed. He raised his head, and his
/ lips moved. A few unintelligible
sounds escaped him, and the count
| placed his ear close to his lips. His
/ head fell back. his eyes grew CLASSY,
and there was a hoarse rattle in his
