From BLount County

shipments are made, of course,
after the wants of the county
people have been met. And to
supply the demands of 25,0 900
persons in the county requires
thousands of chickens, and thous-
ands of dozens of eggs, annually.
Thus, Blount county averages
one car load of eggs and one car
load of poultry, weekly.
The poultry industery in the
county has not been pushed and
if there were more concentration,
the county could ship out from
500 to 1000 cars of chickens and
the same number of cars of eggs,
yearly.

That Blount county is an I'M
portant center in the poultry and
egg markets, is evidenced by the
large quantities of chickens and
eggs shipped annually to other
markets. Because of the many
shipping points in the county,
and the large number of shippers,
it is a difficult matter to get the
exact amount of eggs and chick
ems shipped from the county an
nually. However, shippers of
these conservatively estimate
that fifty car loads of chickens
and fifty car loads of eggs are
shipped to other markets from
the county, annually. These

group of farmers, without cost.
On the face of the proposition.
at first, it might appear to some
that those buying the animal,
were investing their money for
the benefit of their neighbors.
However, on second thought they
will realize that their own inter-
ests will be better served, their
own live stock improved, and it
will be done at a less cost, in the
long run, than if the community
bull were now owned.
The live stock of the county
cannot be improved to the high
est point if only the farmers alb
lie to own good bulls are bene-
flied by it. The live stock on
every farm must be improved in
order to improve the county's s
standard. So the farmers whc
unite in buying a bull, will not
be doing their neighbors who
have less money, a favor, but
they will be doing themselves
avor, by putting purer bred cat
lie on their neighbors' farms
AS the scrub cattle are elimina

In some counties and states
individuals have purchased bulls
and let them out to the people 0.

Perhaps there is no farmer il
! the county who wants to spent
$500, $1,000 or $4,000 for a bull
but by combining in the purchase
the very best can be bought, ant
none will feel the expenditure
but all will be helped.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-08-26

Realizing that in order to i'm
prove the quality of cattle in the
county, it is necessary that COWS
be bred to bulls of recognized
worth, one of the leading busi-
ness men and farmers Of the
county, has suggested a plan
which is practicable and which
could be worked easily in Blount
county. 1t is not a new idea, for
it has been worked elsewhere,
and in fact is now being worked
in some counties of Tennessee
and in other states.
A bull of first class grade costs
a good many thousands of dollars.
One man does not care to invest
his money in such a valuable an
imal, and thus he takes his COWS
elsewhere to have them bred
to another county or another
state. But there are enough
farmers in the county who want
to breed their cows to the very
best bull, that if they would al
unite--or several of them united.
they could pool their money, and
buy a bull equal to the best In
the country. 1t could not only
serve their own cows, but the
cows of farmers not able to buy
an interest in it, or own a bull o1
their own, could bring their COWS
to it. The farmers purchasing
the bull, would each not have
any more money tied up in the
animal than it would be worth u
him, Individually. Then, those
not able to own bulls, or take
their COWS to the best bull, coulc

STOCK SHOW
SEPTEMBER 6
Premiums Will be Given
to the Farmers Making
Best Exhibits
IN EVERETT'S GROVE
No Entrance Fee viii Be
Charged, ane Every One
Has Prize Chance
IN EVERETT'S GROVE

One of the most extensive
stock shows ever held in Mary
vile, is that scheduled for Mon
day, Sept. 6. This is Labor Day
and also court day, and it is
anticipated there will be an un-
usually large number of people
in town.
The stock show is open to all
farmers, and every man in the
county is urged to exhibit some
of his live stock. Not every
horse, or mule, or COW or sheep
will get a prize, but every one
has a chance at premium, and
yours may be the one that will
wear off the blue ribbon.
This stock show has been
planned in order that farmers
may be inspired to improve their
live stock. By exhibition, ex-
animation of faults and good
qualities, by comparison, etc.,
one farmer gets an idea of how
he can improve his live stock,
and also inspiration comes to him
to have better appearing stock
when he sees what his neighbor
is doing.
That there may be no reason
for a farmer not exhibiting his
stock, the committee in charge OF
the fair has announced that there
will be no entry or admission fee.
1t will be free to all comers.
Many leading farmers in the
county have advised the COM
mittee that they will bring their
horses, mules, cows, bulls, sheep,
swine, etc., to the fair. Its sue
cess is already assured, and as a
forerunner of the annual county
fair, which is now in embryonic
form, no better feature could

MODEL SCHOOL
IN BLOUNT co.
Cades Cove Pupils and
Patrons Are Working
to This End
CLUBS ORGANIZED
BuildingC Conveniently LO-
Gated for Parents to
Enjoy Advantages
CLUBS ORGANIZED

A good many years ago, DR.. P.
P. Claxton, commissioner of ed
ucation in the. United States, con-
ceived the idea of establishing a
model school in Knox county.
Such a school is that at Farragut,
about which every educator in
the United States, who has tried
to keep abreast of the education
al movement that is sweeping
over the country, has read in
government bulletins. It's a
school of which any state might
feel proud.
It looks like Blount county is
going to have model school, and
the relization of such an ideal is
not far distant, it would seem.
In Cade's Cove, where the first
consolidated school building in
the county was completed, the
public minded men and women,
and progressive teachers who
have been assigned to that school,
have underway the organization
and establishment of a model
school.
Far off in the mountain cove,
ten miles from a railway, away
from the conveniences that we
of the towns and cities and rural
communities in close touch with
the towns, have, is this modern
school building, complete in ev-
cry detail, modernly built, mod
ernly lighted and heated, with
water from a mountain spring
quite distance away, and with
educational advantages equal to
those of the boys and girls in the
towns.
A preachment of educational
leaders that has become a kind!of
an ark of the covenant, is that
the public school building should
be a community social center.
Some communities in other
counties and in other states, and
school buildings in the larger
cities have adopted this COM
munity idea in the operation of
their school, and it has proved
most successful. The patrons
and teachers of the Cades Cove
school are planning to make that
building the community center.
To this end the boys and girls
already have underway the Or
ganization of ball teams, debating
societies, reading circles, etc.
The building is a convenient
place for the assembling of the
patrons of the community, and it
is the hope of those heading the
movement, that a library can be
established, literature placed on
the reading tables, and the place
made so attractive and fascinat-
ing that patrons will want to as
semble there to spend their leis-
ure hours in the reading of good
books, good papers, the enjoy
ment of Che contests in which
the boys and girls engage, and
become better acquainted with
the teachers, parents of other
pupils, the pupils themselves,
and to see their own children at
work in the school. A splendid
example which others would do
we'll to emulate has been set by
the patrons in Cades Cove. The
first week of the school, more
than 200 patrons, or about all
there are in the cove, visited the
building. The work is progress
ing harmoniously, and there is a
work together" spirit there

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON
Here IS Ore Man Who Does Not Be-
Iieve the World viii Give
Up Sleep.

Mr. Edison says sleep is a bad habit,
and that we shall some day get over
it. Like drinking and smoking, it is
to be among those things which we
shall try in time to give up on the first
of the year. He says people called him
crazy when be said ele Jtricity would
supplant all other motive power in
transportation, and one therefore hesi-
tates to say that he is crazy about
anything. However, we viii hazard
guess that if he is off his box any
where, it is with respect to the pleas
ant custom of INDUCING ourselves in a
good sound snooze. How else we are
to refresh ourselves from the days
work we cannot imagine The trouble
with this objection, as 1t applies to
Mr.. Edison, is that be doesn't think we
are wearied by the days work. He
and some Of his associates worked at
something for a given period of time
II hours a day, and they all gained
weight! tie leads us to infer that it is
what We do when we are not working
that wearies us. Thinking over it
briefly, We believe there is something
in that. Probably half the things we
do in our leisure time is very hard
work. The celebrated tired business
man is only tired when his wife wants
him to go out somewhere after din
ner 1t is the opera and the fox trot
that wear him out Still, think of Civ
ing up sleep! If it is a habit, it is
nice one, We have got some glimpses
of what Mr.. Edison means when we
have tried to sleep in a chair car, but
given a feather bed and a soft pillow,
we don't get him at all Last night,
for instance. Wasn't the habit deli
cious last night?-St. Louis Post-Dis-
