BLeDSoE COUNTY cANNERY
ACTIVELY CONSERVING

Pikeville, Aug. 13.-Work of
canning the big tomato crop in
Bledsoe county has commenced.
There are over 200 acres in toma-
toes in that county this year, and
while the wet weather has inter-
tered largely with the growth, to-
matoes are being put up at a live
ly rate. The work is being done
at the plant of the Pikeville Can
ming Co., recently equipped and
with a capacity of 1000cans daily.
Scarcity of labor, however, is in
terfering with full operations of
the plant. H. A. Shaver is Civ
ing his personal attention to the
work, and besides his plant has
60 acres of tomatoes on the noun
tain west of Pikeville. He has a
number of similar plants located
in other parts of the country.
The tomatoes are contracted for
at 35c per bnshel delivered at the
cannery in crates furnished by
company. This is eight cents per
bushel higher than last year,
when growers made $50 per acre
on their tomatoes, so even with
the loss this year from rottage
growers should make money.
Farmers of Bledsoe are waking
up to the possibilities in tomato
culture, and next year there will |
be a largely increased acreage.

AS the war is the all absorbing
topic | will give my first thought
on it. Last Tuesday, 7th, the
boys of this community were
summoned to FortWorth to be ex.
amined. Among the bunch was
my second boy, Archie Bracken.
He passed and made a grade
of 81, pretty good for a clod hop.

say they are the finest bunch that
was examined that day. IS per
cent of them passed. They will
be called to the training camp the
first of September and the boys
are raring to go. They say they
are going to rope the kaiser and
bring him back to Texas and
make cowboy out of him. All

ing and visiting their kin folks

went over to the Fort last
Tuesday and spent a few pleasant
hours with j. A. Lewis and wife.
They are well and doing well.
There was just one thing lacking
to complete their happiness and |
persuaded J. A. to correct that
case by sending for the old Re
liable. So mark him up for one
year and complete his happiness
by sendingit to J. A. Lewis, 9O8
Ash Crescent, Fort Worth, Texas.
Last Wednesday the boys asked
me if they could make some ice
cream and ask a few of their
young friends in to be with Archie
before he had to leave us. Igave
consent. They asked about thirty
and made four freezers of cream,
cakes and lemonade and that thir-
ty came and brought about thirty
others with them. We split the
crowd, all of the young people
taking the front yard with tables
to serve refreshments on and Ian
terms on the shade trees to give
light and the older people taking
the back porch. After we got
thru with refreshments Miss Mat
tie May Collins was called to the
piano and we spent another hour
singing some Of the sweetest
songs, such as our fathers sang
at the old camp meetings when
they had more religion than style.

There are some folks IN this world

make the mistake OF picking up some
thing by the wrong handle They
spend their lives sitting astride the
