HUMUS MOST NEEDED.
Commercial Fertilizer Cannot Take Its
Place Under ANY Conditions.

Every farmer in this county who has
taken the trouble to notice, must have
been impressed with the need of more
humus or decayed vegetable matter,
such as weeds. leaves, straw, etc.. in
the soil. The Progressive Farmer has
this to say on the question:
For the average general-crop farmer
the biggest single factor in soil pro-
ductivity is humus-rotted straw,
clover leaves and stems, peavines. cot
ton and corn stalks. The farmer who
fills his soil chuck full of this material
has taken out the best drouth insurance
known. Moreover, If large part of
the humus is obtained from such soil
building crops as clovers, peas and
beans, there need be no money spent
for fertilizers like cottonseed meal and
nitrate of soda. The man who does
not know the wonderful value of hu-
mus has yet to learn his agricultural
A B C's."
There is no commercial fertilizer
made that can take the place of humus.
and unQuestionably this is the greatest
need by far of the average Southern
soil.
One of the easiest and least expen-
sive ways that any farmer can get hui
NUS for his farm at this season of the
year is to go into the woods and haul
leaves. Bed the stock with them or
put them on the manure heap and work
them in. 1t at the same time you will
add as much as 100, pounds of high
grade acid phosphate to each ton of
manure and work it in, your manure
will prove worth from 20 to rs per cent
more than without it. Many expert
menis have proven this to be true.
But get the humus at all events for it
is cheap and easy to get.
NEXT IS NITROGEN.
The Progressive Farmer says:
Next in Importance comes nitrogen,
and the man who for the last five years
has been doing really good farming has
no need to purchase it, for his methods
have been such that he has been using
the peas, beans and clovers to draw
down and store in his soil the millions
of dollars worth in the air above his
farm.
Don't forget that when you are get
ting humus through decaying leaves,
straw and such like you are getting
some nitrogen for all decay Of vege-
table matter lets loose some nitrogen.

WILL HE WIN?

The present Legislature passed an
act that placed this county In East
Tennessee so far AS the state supreme
court is concerned.
IL IS claimed the act was passed in
order to place Hon. 4. q. Toilet in
East Tennessee so he would be in line
for appointment from that division of
the state as member of the State
Commission, that will have the hand
ling of the internal business affairs OF
the state, instead OF the several de-
partments that have existed for many
years.
If the act was passed for the pur-
pose stated, it will be up to Gov. Rye
to name Mr. Toilet for the place he
seeks. Some say the appointment will
come to Mr.. Toilet while others dis
count the idea and think Cumberland
county will not tie thus recognized.
No one questions the abillCy of ex-
Senator Toilet for the place he seeks,
but the point now seems to be, will
Governor Rye think Mr.. Toilet the
man for the placer Time alone will
answer that question:.

POLITICAL SPITE.

Senator L. E. Wilson has had bill
introduced into the legislature to abol-
ish the Office Of county judge for this
county.
Every one understands this is po-
litical move on the part of Senator
Wilson as retaliation on Judge q. r.
Burnett for opposing him at the last
election. No charge of incompetency
or neglect of duty OH the part of Judge
Burnett is connected with the move
it Is politics pure and simple. Such a
move would not seem to be good one
to secure friends for Senator Wilson.
Friends of Judge Burnett have been
circulating petitions in different parts
of the county securing signatures OPP
posing the proposed abolition of the
office of county judge. Not 200 voters
out of the 1,500 in the county would
decline to sign the petition opposing
the change, if there was sufficient
time for the people to understand the
matter. There will be close to 1000
or possibly more as it is, who will
gladly register their opposition to the
proposed cnange.

FOOD OUTLOOK.

The feeling seems to be general with
many of the people of this county that,
to use a western phrase, they have
been living to entirely too great an ext
tent "out of a paper sack and tin
can" In other words our people have
been buying too large portion OF
what they eat when they could have
raised it for less than it has cost them.
With that view of the case there
seems to be general movement in the
direction of growing more food this
year for both man and beast than ever
before. Such course means that our
people will live better and at the same
time have more home comforts. The
money they have spent for food can be
used for better clothing, better home
furnishings and multitude of things
that go to make our homes better and
more home-l like.
For some time the cry went up that
food would be high the coming season
on account of the war. Recently that
idea has received something of set
back, because from all parts of the
world comes the assurance that greater
efforts will be made this season to pro-
duce farm products than ever before.
The probabilities Of such course
are not far to seek. The warning ma
tions will bend every effort to produce
TODD; the thousands of people out of
employment Will find it necessary to
make an effort to provide food for
themselves by growing 1T for they have
little or no hope of finding work by
which means they may buy food.
Some have predicted that food will
be cheaper the coming season than US
ual, because of the great abundance
that will be grown. Allowing that
such should prove the case, the person
who grows what he eats is sure to
have a greater abundance than COM
monty, have better food of the kind
and live cheaper than IN the past.
The one thing that most people think
will remain high and be none too plen-
tiful is meat. The reasons assigned
are that the war has and will continue
to make heavy dem ands and it is i'm
possible to change from shortage to
an overplus within so short a time.
Not so much meat Will be used by the
masses as is usual, but the demand
promises to be sufficient to keep prices
well up to the present if they do not
go higher

For several years 1T has been clear
to most people that the time is not fal
distant when campaign will be wageo
against the use of tobacco. Those en-
gagged in the business realize that a;
fully as any one.
To offset the sentiment against such
a movement, one of the largest tobacco
concerns IN the country is doing an ed
ucational line of advertising in which
they carry the slogan: "The thinkers
of the country are tobacco users. .
That such staten emf is part true ano
part false goes without dispute. For
that reason it is hard 70 combat. The
time will come, however, when that
statement will be successfully refuted,
but the battle will be long and the
fight stubborn one.

"Oh dear," cried Mary. What shall
