Mr.. Hef1m, who IS Superintendent of
the railroad farm at Tullahoma. and
who will have charge of the work on
the demonstration farm at this place.
IN company with Mr.. Cant, of Mr..
Judd's office, Nashville, spent several
days here last week looking over the
fields set aside for demonstration pur-
poses, and showing us how to work
some of the machinery sent by the
railroad company. While here Mr..
HefiIn was outspoken IN his praise of
the mountain soil. He says that 1t is
far superior to that in and around
Tullahoma, and that there is no reason
whatever to keep Cumberland Plateau
from being the leading farming section
of the state. He says we have the
necessary requisites: good land and
plenty of it. We Cumberland mount
aineers ought to get busy and do some
thing; we should grasp the opportunity
before some one from the outside gets
the best of what there is here. Let's
get busy and make this old mountain
country known all over the commercial
world; let's make our products the
best. Let's make "ralsed on Cumber-
land Plateau" bring better prices be-
cause of superior quality; and let's
make that quality known everywhere.
We can do it, but 1t will take work,
hard work, but work will bring rich
reward in fine homes, good schools,
live churches and contented popula
ton. Let's get busy.
Next Thursday night Mr.. Franklin,
the Agricultural Expert for White
county, will address mass meeting at
the school house, IN the interest of the
boys corn club movement. Already
several boys have expressed desire to
enter this contest, and from present
it seems that our community
will be heard from along about corn
gathering time, next fall. Besides the
discussion of corn, Mr.. Franklin will
go into particulars of potato growing.
1t Is our desire to raise several cars of
Irish potatoes for the market, and
everyone who will farm has expressed
a willingness to plant a surplus of this
crop. At this meeting will be discuss
ed the proper varitieB to plant, and
there Is a movement on foot to per-
suade everyone to plant the same kind
In order to make a better show when
shipped. Our CrossvIlIe neighbors
have already had quite lot of exper-
renee along this line, and no doubt can
give us some of their experience. which
would, to say the least, save Us from
some of the mistakes they have made.
We will appreciate any help along this
line.
