KINGSP0RT. PAST PRESENT
AND FUTURE
Wonderful History For the Industrial
City of the South

OHueFlul HISIOT! TOT tne luHuStIldi
City Of the South
Only few years ago Kingsport, the
industrial city, was unknown, the old
town from which the new takes its
name was very small village, locat-
ed on the banks of the Holston. The
beautiful Holston wended its way
noiselesly along the hills and the
birds sank their lay among the
branches of the forest primeval. The
Times has published the history of
Kingsport in previous issues, written
by the pen of pioneers, hence in this
article we will lbe brief
The change came about this way:
The Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio
Railway Co. surveyed and construct
ed one of the south's greatest rail-
roads and capitalists, being attracted
by the great natural advantages of
the Kingsport section purchased
large tracts of land along the new
Udu anu do d lSoulI OtuCl
was interested, new industries sprang
up one after another and Kingsport
proper came into being. What won
derful transformation of an unknown
and isolated section into a thriving
and industrial center! Here, millions
of dollars in capital has been spent
and the end is not yet. Some of the
industries located at Kingsport are
capitalized at from one to fifteen mil
lions of dollars and when we recall
that there are already some twelve
large industries here, giving employ
ment to hundreds of laborers, then it
is that we begin to realize the magni-
tude of Kingsport proper.
Now then, the great c., C. & o. Ry.
has played its part and played it well
in the transformation. The Kingsport
Improvement Corporation has played
it's part and is still on the job. The
Kingsport Times, your home paper, in
it's own way and as best it could, has
done and will continue to do its part
Loyalty and unflinchingly. Will you
help the agencies which are building
your city?

SIMPLE TRICK WILL
PREVENT A COLD
Number Of Sick School Children Re
duced Where Health Nurses Instruct
the Pupils Relative to Diseases.

Colds may be prevented by knowing
how to blow your nose, according tc
Mrs. LenS A. Warner, of the Division
of Extension, of the University of Ten
nessee.
Mrs. Warner has been studying the
question of health for a number OF
years and traces most of the colds that
hinder school children in their work
to lack OF this fundamental knowl
edge,
"The first thing a boy or girl ought
to do upon getting up in the morning"
says Mrs. Warner, "is to blow his
nose Then just before the school bell
rings do this again. While the child
IS young he forms the habit that he
will not forget later in life.
ITO blow the nose properly, the
handkerchief should be held loosely in
the palm and two forefingers of the
hand. One should lean forward slight
ly. Bury the nose in the handkerchief,
but do not touch the nose with the
thumb or fingers. Draw in the breath,
then blow. Wipe the nose, then blow
again, Should one side of the nose not
feel clear, press the thumb against the
clear side and blow. Repeat until each
side feels clear and clean"
In schools where health nurses are
engaged it has been shown that fol-
lowing these simple suggestions de-
creases the number of colds among the
children.

A COUNTY THAT Is
BOOSTING ITSELF
Sees in a FuIIy-Deveioped Farm Life
the Permanent Prosperity
Ii Desires.

(By Harry B. Potter, Division of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville)
The boil weevl hit some counties in
West Tennessee pretty hard this year.
Those who work with cotton all OF the
time say that the boil weevil will come
next year harder than it did this year.
That is history
Every part of Tennessee has it's boil
weevil-some evil that comes when
the ore.crop system of farming is fol
lowed. 1t may be a weed pest, and
again it may be some insect But evil
follows system of farming that tears
down the land.
West Tennessee presents to us
county that is coming back, that Is
building for the future. An active mer-
chant Of that county, seeing that on
farm prosperity depends his prosperity,
says some things in full-page adver-
tisement in the county papers that, if
any county in Tennessee, may be APP
piled by every reader OF this column.
The page is headed "Hardeman Coun-
ty On Top" And then the page goes
on to say:
Experience is the best teacher, but
are we going to sit idly by and get this
experience, or are we going to take
advantage of the other fellows expe-
rience?
What To Do-Study the weevil, get
bulletins concerning the weeviI and in
form yourself what is the very best
thing to do. We have a few bulletins
and will have more Ask for them or
write the College of Agriculture, Knox
vile, Tennessee, or Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. C.
What TO Do Now--Dsk your cot
ton stalks Immediately and turn them
under completely. Sow wheat as a
soil protection and for a money crop
next year. Destroy the winter home
of the weevil by burning weeds along
roadside, ditch banks, fence rows, In
thickets and around stumps
What To Do Later-With the boil
weevil to fight, you can not successful
ly grow as large acreage of cotton as
before. Prepare to substitute other
crops for some of cotton next year.
Produce on your farm what you eat
and some to sell the town fellow.
Have a good garden, by all means
Get a start in live stock, poultry, hogs,
sheen goats and cattle
stock Raising Hardeman County
is naturally a stock-raising county, be-
ing providentially blessed with fine
pastures and streams for watering pur-
poses. However, we are getting too
many different breeds of cattle and
hogs. We should select the best all.
round hog and best breed of cattle,
bofh for beef and milchers. In doing
this we will enhance the value of our
stock and increase our selling power,
rs cars loaded with the same breed al.
ways bring more on the market"

(By C. E. Alfred, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knox
yille)
Good farm accounts are as useful TO
the farmer as to the business man.
since farming is a business, the same
as banking or any other commercial
enterprise. Farm accounting does not
require that the account be kept in
particular form. or upon a certain side
of the page, but is simply a logical Sc
lection and arrangement of farm facts
10 make correct study possible.
The difficulties of farm accounting
are generally overestimated an entire
ly wrong irlpre sion being held by
many people on this subject. Good ac-
counts are within the reach of every
farmer.
The few minutes regularly spent in
keeping farm accounts will yield
larger returns than an equal amount
of time devoted to farm work, If
proper use is made of the information
the records contain.
This winter or early spring is the
time to begin keeping records.
1t is important for the farmer to
know what lines of production are
yielding the best returns. On an I'M
profitable line or enterprise he should
change his methods of production to
lessen the costs or, if an enterprise
can not be made profitable under his
conditions of farming, it should be
dropped out, just as merchant drops
a customer WHO does not pay his bills.
Stop the leaks in your farm.
Write at once to the Division of Ex'
tension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, for suggestions. The spe-
cialists there will be glad to help You
get started.
Why not turn the searchlight on
your farm business and learn how you
can make more money?

or q under pounds rather than to
caponize them. But when our cocker
els get beyond two pounds. and buyers
are not willing to use them at the
regular spring chicken price, it may
pay us to make capons of them and
carry them through the winter, dispos
ing of them in the early spring as
roasting chickens. Capons generally
sell for the same price as turkeys.
