TOMATO GROWERS
HAVE BIG MEETING
Different Phases of Tomato
Culture Discussed by Men
Experienced in the Work

A large and enthusiastic
meeting of farmers was held
at the Allen hall last Saturday
and those present were enter
tanned for three hours byfour
experts on tomato raising and
the culture of other crops that
are grown for the canning fac
tory.
L. S. Markham from the
State Department of Agricul-
ture, opened the speaking with
some appropriate humoous re-
marks, after which he made a
very interesting talk on diver
sification of crops and the ben
fits to be derived therefrom.
He warned the farmers against
the risk of only depending up
on one crop. He urged them
to plant tomatoes and sweet
potatoes in small acreage
and advised them that by di-
versification they had more
chances to succeed. Mr..
Markham is an experienced
agriculturist and the farmers
were very much interested in
this talk.
Prof. Wickes from the state
University in charge Of the
Horticultural Department, was
present an delivered an able
address on the culture and
handling of tomatoes. His
years Of experience in the diff
ferent experimental stations in
different parts of the United
States has thoroughly equip

fund of very valuable infor-
nation as to the profits and
advantages of tomato culture

CONFEDERATE CAMP
ELECTS DELEGATES
Members then March in Body
To Journal Office to Inspect
New Linotype Machine

Y. Y. Cook Camp U. C. V.
held a very interesting meet
ing last Saturday, when dele
gates to the annual reunion
were elected. The attendance
was good and the meeting
was thoroughly enjoyed by
the old boys who still retain
much of the vim and vigor so
characteristic of the true Con-
federate soldier.
The delegates elected to the
annual reunion are F. M. Bar
nett and w. CT. Foster.
After the business of the
meetig was finished, the vet

special invitation marched in
a body to The Journal Office
where they inspected and wit
nesse the operation of the
new Linotype Machine recent
ly installed and had some of
the mysteries of this wonder
full machine explained to
them.
When Wy. Cook Camp was
organized a few years ago it
was one of the largest and
most active camps in thi sec
ton. Because of its keen in
terest taken in all matters af-
feeting the welfare Of the old
soldiers, Col. V. Y. Cook Of
Batesville, himself an ardent
Confederate who saw service
in some of the bloodiest bat
ties Of the Civil War
presented the camp here with
a magnificent silk flag. This
flag is highly priced by the
members and is taken care of
with Jealous attention. 1t is
always brought out on special
occasions and its appearance
never fails to elicit admiration
and favorable comment from
all who see it.
Death has taken heavy toll
of the local camp during the
recent years and there are
now only 16 surviving mem
bers, as follows:

versity made an interesting
talk on the growing of plants
and getting them ready for
setting out in the early spring.
His advice in preparing the
hot beds and resetting the
plants in cold frames prior
to setting them out in he
fields was very interesting and
instructive. Prof. Knox is a
young man but has grown
old in the handling of plants,
as he has spent his life from
infancy in the handling of
plants for setting out in the
growing of early vegetables
and for canning plants.
Prof. Hewitt, from the state
University made a very inter
esting talk on the prevention
of disease among tomatoes,
and the remedy for the differ
things that the tomato is heir
to in different localities. He
advised the spraying of the
plants in the early spring and
advised against clearinghouse
toes on the same ground year
after year. He said you could
no more plantetomatoes on the
same ground year after year
than you could any other crop
and make a successful yield.
After the meeting was over
the local Canning Company
contracted for several acres
of tomatoes.
Everybody seems greatlyen-
Unused over the outlook Of the
canning business and material
for the plant and the machin-
cry has been ordered. By the
middle of April the plant will
be installed with all the ma
chinery, ready for business,
with a capacity Of $4,000 cans
per day.
The Canning Company has
contracted for the sanitary
cans and will install a double
seamef or Gaping machine.
The people of our town are
greatly elated over the prog
ress of the new enterprise and
feel hat the laboring people
and the business interests will
share alike in its earnings and
the outside money that an en-
terprise of his kind will bring
to us.

TO OUR

< When the Press and Banner passed into The hands of its pres
< emit owners in the early part of the year, they determined to run
Ehe paper as a business proposition. If a newspaper is worth
= taking, it is worth paying for; it is pprinted at considerable ex-
.pense for a consideration, and that consideration, in so far as
subscribers are concerned, is the subscription price. A news
- paper may have an income from its advertisers, but it looks to its
subscribers for the support which they owe ii.
During the last several months the people who take this paper
have been passing through a financial depression, and we have not
insisted on those who were behind, meeting their obligations, pre-
ferrine to wait for a more convenient season. That season has
: arrived in our judgment; and we must ask our subscribers to pay
us for the labor we have performed for them. The people who
work for US, and the people from whom we buy, must be paid and
we can only pay them by having your assistance.
A statement has been sent, or will be sent, to you by our
y bookkeeper. When you get it please let us have the necessary
remittance. We need the money.
x We love all our subscribers, and we want to comply with
their desires as much as possible; we certainly want to keep you all,
& but because this paper is run as a business, it is impossible to fur
nsh it to those who are in arrears and who refuse to pay when
2 asked to do &C, and IS much IS W e shall regret to do, we will be
~ forced to discontinue sending the paper to those who will not pay.

REPLY
EXPECTEDTH|SW WEEK
LUSITANIA'S NEGOTIATIONS
MIGHT DEPEND UPON AUS
TRIA'S REPLY.

Washington, Dec. 49, Austria
Hungary's reply to the American
note on the sinking of the Italian
steamship Ancona is looked for by
the end of this week. This expec
tation was expressed today after
Baron Erich Zwiedinek, charge of
the Austro-H Hungarian embassy, had
conferred with Secretary Lansing re-
Igarding the note and attempted, it
was understood to gain informally
for the information of his govern
ment an understanding of what
would satisfy the United States.
The charge it was said did not in
dictate what the action of Austria
Hungary might be, explaining that
he had not heard from the foreign
office upon the subject.
Much attention has been attracted
in official and diplomatic circles by
that portion of the note which re-
ferred to "the acquiescence of Ger
many in the attitude of the United
States toward use of submarines in
attacking vessels of commerce. This
reference served to accelerate spec
ulation as to what effect a s~atisfac-
tory or an unsatisfactory answer to
the note would have upon the nego-
tiations between the United States
and Germany regarding the Ameri-
can lives lost on the Lusitania.
Detailed information will be
awaited by the State department be-
fore any action is taken regarding
the recent attacks upon American
tank steamers in the Mediterranean
by submarines flying the Austrian
flag,

TEXAS CROP NOT
OVER 100000
Statement Of Outlook Given BY Com
missioner Davis After
Investigation.

Austin. Tex. Sept. 2i.-Prediction
was made Monday by Texas Commits
sIoner Of Agriculture Fred W. Davis
that this years cotton crop Of Texas
win not 90 beyond 100000 bales. The
estimate. Commissioner Davis said.
was based on reports received by him
from his field agents. and also after
personal inspection. II Is i.sso,ooo
bales less than the 1914 crop.
The prevalence Of boil weevils. neg
lect Of the crop by cotton growers
who we're discouraged by the. low
prices last year. and the lack Of fer
tilIty OF the cotton soil are given by
Commissioner Davis as reasons fo'
this years short crop.
