COURTS CONVENE:
GROW PLENTY OF "SWEETS. ="

Farmers are being urged by agricul-
tural experts of the south to make
special effort to grow sweet potatoes,
because of the very high food value
they contain.
The claim is that no crop can be
grown that will furnish larger
amount of human food than sweet po-
tatoes. One acre of sweet potatoes
will furnish twice the food value of an
acre of wheat or corn.
G. l.. Newman, professor of Agricul-
ture, North Carolina, has this to say
of the sweet:
THE sweet potato has higher food
value than the Irish potato, and it is
now too late to plant the latter with
any assurance of success, and then
there is practically no seed available.
There is ample sweet potato seed avail
able, and bushel of sweet potatoes
will produce plants enough to plant
from SIX to ten times as much land as
q bushel of Irish.
"An acre of land that will produce
Is or 20 bushels of corn, 8 TO II bushels
of wheat, or $50 to 200 pounds of lint
cotton, Will produce SO, and may pro-
duce 80 or 100 bushels OF sweet Gotta
toes, depending upon the good prepar-
alton of the soil and good fertilizers.
No crop will yield so much per acre of
so high food value on SO poor land as
will this highly nutritious root crop.
Sweet potatoes may follow the various
early truck and farm crops harvested
in May and June, such as cabbage,
Irish potatoes, ETC., small grams,
crimson ciovers, etc.
lin view of the scarcity of potash
would recommend tor sweet potatoes
between 600 and 1900 pounds of fer
tlllzer analyzlng 8 to 10 per cent of
phosphoric acid and to per cent of
nitrogen. On very thin land | would
use the higher per cent of nitrogen,
and on better land the lower per cent. !"

By no manner of means does it re-
quire war to bring out reasons for
stopping the use of food IN the making
of whlskey and other alcoholic drinks
for beverages.
However, jSst now when the force
of war is said to be felt first lat the
belt" there Is a stronger reason for
conserving all food and keeping 1t from
being converted INTO alcoholic bever-
ages.
The brewers and distlllers won the
fight before congress- the ether day,
but that IS 10 reason why the matter
is closed 1t can easily be brought up
again-and should be-and a law passed

lion loaves daily, that is gong into in
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-05-23

Food conditions of the country, and
particularly in the line of meat, has
caused general warning to be sent
abroad by the leading agrlcul wrists of
the country urging farmers not to sell
a female animal of any kind for
slaughter, unless 1t be an old one that
has passed its prime. Particularly do
they urge against killing brood sows,
heIfer calves and eve lambs.
The prices are higher now than ever
before but the shortage of meat foods
is expected to send prices stll higher
and may result in such shortage as
will mean much distress to large
part Of the population Of the country,
unless the universal raising of female
animals and general breeding uf them
is followed.
To keep them from the butcher
block means larger profits and more
food with lower prices after the war,
but If ruthless slaughter is continued
as IN the recent past. continued high
prices Will MAINTAIN and greater prlva-
tion will result.
While doing a good thing for yourself
financially, MIR. Farmer, you can per-
form no higher patriotic duty than to
heed the warning and direct your ener-
gIes tow ard greater meat production.

Meeting TO DISCUSS
COAL Price PROBLEM
Cabinet Split Brings About Today:
Conference of Dealers.

When rs bituminous coal operators
gather in session today in the De-
! partment of Commerce building to talk
about prices another chapter will be
written around the Cabinet split,
/ which began when Secretaries Baker
and Daniels and Attorney Genera!
! Gregory rebelled last month at the
action of the coal production COM
mittee of the Council of National De-
| fense in calling a meeting of coal men
| to give Uncle Sam their best terms.
Chairman Peabody admits that he
! has gone ahead with the program
/ which he and Secretary Lane outlined.
| Today's second coal council is the re-
! suit
The government needs 1000, 900 tons
of coal for the coal year which began
July !.
Since the snub administered to the
coal men last month. they have not
been any too hearty about seeing that
the government gets what is needed,
but Mr.. Peabody has refused to be
snubbed.
1t became known yesterday that had
| it not been for Mr.. Peabody's atti-
tude the Government Printing Office,
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and the Soldiers Home would
have been. without coal since the first
of the month. The local firm which
hitherto have supplied these three in
stitutions declined to fill any orders
! until the terms were settled. The Pea
body committee had coal by the car
load diverted from original destina-
, tions and brought into Washington.
| The question of cost was waived by
the operators, and when the price
matter is finally adjusted the opera
tors will take what the government
| agrees to give.
Another question which will be set
| tied by the meeting tomorrow con-
! Germs the shortage hampering the in
dustries Of New England. Arrange
ments will be made to overcome this
obstacle while the matter OF prices is
being settled.

WOMEN TO PROTEST
HIGH FOOD PRICES
Delegation from New York Will In
teryiew President Wilson.

East Side mothers are coming
directly to Washington to tell their
story OF the hardships and suffer-
ing that existing food prices have
forced to President Wilson, mem
bers OF Congress and Food Admin
istrator Hoover.
Miss Helen Todd, = New York
settlement worker. will have
charge Of the women, and through
Miss Jeanette Rankin. member OF
Congress from Montana, Is arrang-
ing for their reception at the
White House.
They have been invited by Sem
ator Gore to appear before the
Agricultural Committee of the Sem
ate. which is considering the food
bill, and Hoover has promised to
meet them.
The women took part IN the re-
cent food riots in New York, and
the ability they have in expressing
their food needs publicly was de-
veloped at, that time.
1t is explained by Miss Todd that
the women are all mothers of
families. wives OF workingmen, who
are absolutely unable to make
both ends meet under existing
prices.
She hopes by bringing them to
Washington to accomplish a two
fold purpose; that of acquainting
them with the real meaning of the
war and impressing upon govern
ment officials the necessity of
granting immediate relief.
Miss Todd says further:
The only chance they have to
hear what this war means Is at the
anticonscription meetings. They
go there to learn, and there they
are told this Is a rich mans war,
war for the Morgans and Rookie
fellers to grow richer, and then the
meetings are broken up by police
men and they are driven back to
their homes"
