SECOND GROWER
Of STRAWBERRIES
Tennessee Yields Precedence
Only to California in
Production.

Tennessee stands second of the
states in the Union as a straw.
berry producer, with California
first, according to survey made
of last years crop by the depart
ment of agriculture. During
1914 Tennessee shipped 1915
carloads of strawberries out of
the state, while California ship
ped 2,312. Of the total of the
1914 crop IA, 553.2 carloads were
shipped for commercial purposes.
May is regarded as the harvest
time for the Tennessee crop.
In order to encourage the pro-
duction of strawberries, the
department of agriculture is this
year conducting telegraphic
market news service of the daily
movements of Strawberries to
the large markets, with the
prices received. Reports of
these movements and prices are
telegraphed daily to the produc-
ing areas and consuming centers
to assist in the profitable distri-
button of the crop and in order
to protect the growers.
Department officials, in speak
ing of the manner in which the
crop is handled, emphasize the
Importance of growers shipping
in large crates, and urges the
packers to see to it that inferior
and infected berries are not
placed in the bottom and center
of the box and the large, fine
berries on top, as such practice
is not only deceptive, but rem
ders grading impossible unless
the berries are poured on a table
and graded when repacked.

Truck Farmers Prosper.

The following crop report is
given out for Henry county by
the Henry County Truck Grow.
ers' Association: Very little cot
ton, If any, has been planted,
the enormous wheat crop. which
gave such glowing promise, is
cut so per cent by the Hessian
fly, which visits West Tennessee
every Is or 20 years. ERormous
crops of oats, barley and rye will
be reduced possibly 40 per cent
from infection. Shortage of
sweet potato plants, but large
crops of both sweet and Irish
potatoes will be produced. Corn
will be the leader in Henry coun-
ty, followed by tobacco. While
there is a shortage in tobacco
plants, the recent rains remedy
this and an excellent crop Of to-
bacco will be produced.
All truck products show ex-
cellent prospects. Strawberries
and cultivated blackberries show
good prospects.
Despite the appearance of the
Hessian fly the general crops in
Henry county will be the best in
many years. The farmers are
bent upon recovering losses from
the dry weather last year and
year before last.
Low prices for last years to-
bacco and cotton and the scarcity
of cash for the necessary seed
for this year has to some extent
handicapped the average farm.
er.
Cattle, hogs and poultry and
dairy products rally to the cause
of general prosperity, and as
a whole the farmer has unus-
ually bright prospects this year.
The farmers are alread pre-
pairing for the early Call todnty
fair and and the state fairs,
where they will have noticeable
exhibits.

Drug Stores viii Close Sundays.

The proprietors of the drug
stores and J. N. Currier have
mutually agreed to close their
places of business on each and
every Sunday from and after
this date at 10 a. M, and remain
closed until A p. m., and have
further agreed to close at $50
p. m. to remain closed until Mon
day morning. The drug stores
will open any time during the
day to fill prescriptions for those
who are urgently in need of
same, but will not sell anything
except drugs or medical pre-
scriptions.
This agreement has been sign
ed by each of the above and we
believe will meet with general
approval, and will give those
employed at these places an op-
portunity to be out greater
part of the day.

PEACE LEAGUE FOR
THE NATIONS

A committee of 100 prominent
men of the country, headed by
William H. Taft, have issued a
call for a conference to be held
in independence Hall, Philadel-
phia, June II, to consider the
adoption of proposals for a
League of Peace, or League of
Nations.
1t is proposed, according to the
text of the call, that the United
States shall become one of a
league of powers which shall
agree to use their joint military
forces to prevent any one of their
number from going to war with
another before recourse is had to
a judicial tribunal or. where the
question in dispute is not justici-
able, to an international council
of conciliation.
The plan is largely the idea of
Mr.. Taft, it is said, who will pre-
side at the conference, andis un-
derstood to have the personal
though unofficial endorsement of
President Wilson.

FOR VETERANS

union at Richmond.
May 81


The streets of Richmond, Va.
are pressed today by the feet of
men in the gray uniform of the
confederacy.
Their supple youth is gone,
their good swords are rusty, and
and many of them hear the
voices of comrades calling from
the shades of the trees across
the river, but eagerly they are
arriving by hundreds and thou
sands on every train for the 1916
reunion of the U. G. V.
General headquarters is alive
with activity, registering the old
soldiers, issuing their official
badges, directing therl to state
headquarters and assig ling them
to hotels, homes or tented Camp
Stuart, as the case may be.
The so-called "long season in
May" wet, cold and gloomy,
gave way in the night to clear
sunny skies and to cool crisp
weather, which probability says
will continue through June l, 2
and third of the reunion.
A striking incident of to-day
was the unveiling, in the Louisi-
ana room at the President Davis
mansion, of a bust of Gen.
Beauregard. Unhappily, a Louis
ianian, in passing the bronzed
plaster bust, knocked it off its
pedestal and it was shattered.
The Louisiana Women's Associa-
ton, in Charge df the OCCASION.
at once announced that the bust
would be replaced, and the un-
yelling proceeded.
Camp Stuart, at the fort grounds,
where 5000 Confederates
and visiting militiamen will be
quartered, was opened this morn
ing, meals being served through
the day to several hundred vet
eran advance guard.

Asso citation is in session this
afternoon, and tonight the Sons
of Confederate Veterans will

Sessions of the Southern Mem
orial Association and the Sons of

annual Hollywood memorial pa
rade were held here to-day pre-
liminary to the twenty-fifth

begins tomorrow and extends
through Thursday. 1t is estima-
ted that approximately $4,000
persons will attend.

GERMANY'S NOTE IS
NOT SATISFACTORY
Declare Lusitania an Auxiliary
Cruiser and Withhold Final
Decision.

the week Germany witholds it's
final decisions on the demands
advanced by the United States
in connection with the sinking
of the Lusitania until the receipt
of an answer from the United
States to the note which the for
eign minister delivered to
Ambassador Gerard, in reply to
the note received by the German
government on May Is from
America.
Officials point out that deci-
phering of the official German
reply shows that Germany has
evaded all of the main issues in
the original American protest,
and has attempted to raise a
point of delay in asking for an
agreement on the status of the
Lusitania, declaring Germany
information the liner carried
mounted guns below decks.
Some declare this sort of a re-
ply from Berlin is of itself an
open insult to American authori-
ties as it indicates that Germany
questions the good faith of New
York port authorities in clearing
an armed merchantmen.
The official text of the note
from Germany was before the
president Monday. Officials gen.
orally read it with profound
disappointment, for, they point
ed out, it endeavored to obscure
and evade the main issue-the
questions of humanity involved
and sought to interpose a tech
ical argument on matters of law
hitherto undisputed under the
universally accepted laws of ma
tions.
Most important of all it was
noted no attention was given to
the Americans request for assur-
ances that American lives would
be safeguarded in the future.
President Wilson has determin-
ed that the United States must
ascertain definitely and promptly
from Germany whether that
country intends in the future to
be guided by the accepted prin-
ciples of international law and
the rights of neutrals or to follow
| its own rules of maritime war
fare.
The president listened to q
varied expression of opinion at q
meeting of his cabinet, taking
little part in the discussion him.
self. Later he began the prep.
aration of a note to be dispatch
ed before the end of this week,
embodying his own ideas and
what seemed to him the consen.
sus of his official family.
The verdict of a majority oi
the cabinet was that the German
reply to the American note fol
lowing the sinking of the Lusi
tania was unresponsive and un
satisfactory, disregarding the
good will of the United States
doubling its facts and disclaim
ing all blame for the destruction
of the merchantmen with Amer
Iican lives.

inquiry would lead, it was pre-
