NO VACANT
HOUSES IN
MARYVILLE
New Buildings Going Up

Renters are Unable to
Find Places in Which
to Live

There are no vacant houses in
Maryville. Perhaps no town IN
East Tennessee is having the dif.
ficulty Maryville is having in find
ing places for newcomers to re-
side. Every day, and two and
three times a day, inquirers ask
if they can be directed to owners
of houses wanting to rent them.
Maryville is having a rapid
growth, and the population has
increased largely during the past
twelve months. The experience
of other towns, which have lost
some of their citizens because of
lack of employment the past
year or two years, has not been
the experience of Maryville. The
population has. been growing,
and few have been leaving.
Throughout the town, many
new residences are being con-
structed. Some at a cost of sew
eral thousand dollars, others at a
cost of a few hundred. Carpen-
tiers and contractors are finding
plenty of work to do.
The Bank of Blount County is
completing its new $50, 900 build

Machinery to be used in the
construction of Maryville's new

here soon. AS soon as this equip
ment arrives, work will be begun
on the new plant. 1t will be
rushed to completion, and should
be finished and in operation over
the entire territory outlined in
the plan, within six months.
Parts of the town may be sup

POWER AND WATER
In FARM HOMES
Makes Farming More
Profitable and Farm
Life More Attractive
Farms of Few Acres Is
Where Experimenter's
Interest is Centered

Power on the farm is one of
the problems of the time. We
may complain about the desertion
of the farm, the difficulty Of
securing labor, the drift towards
town; but we cannot counteract
it by newspaper protests, nor by
laws checking it, nor by other
interference with Individual acY
tivities. Until the farm is made
more profitable and more attract
i've the drift towards the city will
continue.
The way to make farming more
profitable, and farm life more at
tractive is to get onto the farm
things that make life in cities
more attractive.
Cities use power plants for the
purpose of doing the work form
erly done by hired servants. The
farmer must do the same thing.
Plan for the years to come a
power plant of your own, divided
and sub-divided. You ought to
have water running through the
kitchen and the barn and the
house, pumped from a spring, a
creek or a cistern. You ought
to have silos, and the filling of
the silo requires power.
You want better transportation
facilities. You ought to save
time and money by getting to
town quickly, or getting your
products promptly delivered. If
you can improve your roads, you
add to the value of your wagons
and carriages and horses, and if
you can supplement this service
with an automobile, you have
added to the power of the farm,

Prof. Morgan, As One Of
County S TaxP ayers Pleads
For Agent Fund

AS one of the county's tax
payers, and proud that he owns
a farm in Blount county, Prof.
H. A. Morgan, dean Of the college
of agriculture, University of
Tennessee, appeared before the
quarterly court Monday, and
presented facts and figures show
ing how it would be to the county's
advantage to make an appropri-
alton for a county agricultural
agent, so that Blount county can
receive $500 of the Smith-Lever
fund that comes to Tennessee.
Prof. Morgan said that he came
here at the request of Prof. c.
A. Keffer, head of U. T. division
of extension, and also because he
did not want the county to lose
it's opportunity to secure this
money. Prof. Morgan owns a
farm in the lower end of the
county, and he asserted that as a
tax payer and farmer, he knows
the $1,000 asked of the court
will be worth many times that
much to the county.
The court listened attentively
to Prof. Morgan's presentation
of the reasons for such an agent
and a committee consisting OF
Squire McReynolds, chairman OF
the court; Squire Coker and
Squire A. N. Jackson, was
named to consider the advisability
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-10-07

of the proposition. This COM
mittee was named on motion of
Squire Jackson, but after Prof.
Morgan advised the court that
unless it made an appropriation
now, that the county might lose
its opportunity to come into the
government appropriation, a
motion to rescind former action
in naming a committee, was made
by Squire w. H. Willard, and he
made a motion that the court ap-
propriate 81, 900 for this agent.
The motion was not carried,
and action will be taken at the
January term of court. Gentle
men, when opportunity knocks
at our door as it is today, and we
dc not hear; when by making an
appropriation of $1,000 we can
get $500 from the government,
it is not good business to turn
down the opportunity, for we
have been convinced that it will
pay US many fold, T" said Squire
Willard, in his effort to get the
appropriation authorized.
Frof. Morgan pointed out clear
ly the advantages that come to a
county from such agents, who
must be graduates of agricultural
colleges, and be approved by the
state and national government.

ing more than 81, 900, and is one
of the finest trucks in the state,
A garage has been built on the
court house lot.
The pixies of the county are,
generally speaking, in a very
good condition, but certain places
show the wear of wheels, and
unless repairs are made at once,
the pixies in some places will
soon be almost impossible. But
the court is exercising foresight,
and figuring on the savings to
the county in keeping the pixies
repaired as they wear, rather
than waiting for them to wear
out then rebuild them. The ex-
penditure of over $4, 900 to take
care of an investment of more
than one-half million dollars is q
good one. Unless pixies are well
drained. the bitches at the sides
kept clear, and worn places are
made new, our splendid high
ways will soon be in a bad con-
dition.
