STRAWBERRIES II
IN TENNESSEE
Volunteer State First In Union
in Carload Shipments OF
this Small Fruit
SOIL MUST Be WELL PREPARED
While Few Farmers and Truck arrow
ers Give the Needed Soil PrsparA-
ton to the Strawberry Bed, Yet
Such Work Would Pay Wen.

The strawberry is cultivated com
mercially 10 the northernmost part
OF the United States, in . great var
iety Of soils, the moisture supply be
ing the principal factor in limiting thu
range of profitable production.
As truckers crop it is most i'm
portant in Tennessee, Louisiana and
Arkansas, Tennessee shipping more
strawberries in carload lots than any
state in the Union.
The refrigerator car and the ex
press have oblibera,ed latitudina
lines, aud fresh, field-grown strawber
ries may be had in our large cities
from January to August, Florida sup
plying the earliest fruits, and the rip
ening period moving northward with
the season.
West Tennessee is a little earlier
than East Tennessee, tho the crops Of
these sections overlap, competing in
the northern market. Tennessee's
principal competitors are Arkansas
Kentucky and the Norfolk and Cape
Charles regions of Virginia.
The strawberry succeeds in q great
variety Of soils, but everywhere 1t
does best in soil rich in vegetable
matter. The silt soils of West Ten,
uessee the bluegrass limestone soils
of the central basin, and the mullato
lands and the dolomite ridges Of the
Eastern section OF the state all pro.
Guce splendid crops OF strawberries.
The highland rim soils and the sandy
soils of the Cumberland Plateau are
less favorable, but even here an
abundant crop is easily grown.
New land presents the most favor
able conditions. not only because Of
its. food supply, but because OF its
freedom from weeds and the weed
grasses. The bes, preparation Of old

CONGRESS LAUNCHES
DEBATE ON FEDERAL
CONTROL OF FOODS
Strong Opposition To Admin
istration Measure Develops
In Senate, Threatening To
Block Passage of Bill.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Opening
congress on the second administration
food bill-for governmental control of
foodstuffs and other necessaries-dis-
closed determined opposition, particu-
larly by a group of senator's, which
threatened to prevent its enactment
by July l. as urgently requested by
President Wilson.
Passage of the bill by the house late
this week is confidently expected by
administration leaders. But advocates
as well as opponents in the senate say
debate will be protracted there for sew
eral weeks and unless the president
adopts some extraordinary means to
hasty action, the law will probably not
be passed till after harvest time.
Administration supporters privately
expressed fear tonight of a senate fill
buster. They are prepared if neces-
sary to invoke for the first time the
senate's anti-filibuster rules.
In an effort to allay senate opposi-
ton it was arranged today to have a
conference tomorrow between senator's
and Herbert C. Hoover At the sug-
gestion of Senator Ransdale. Mr.. Hoo
yer was invited 10 appear at a public
meeting of the agricultural committee
tomorrow morning before the senate
convenes and explain the legislation. A
general invitation to all senators to at
tend and question Mr.. Hoover was
extended.
Both houses made the measure their
pending business with the purpose of
keeping the legislation continuously
under discussion until disposed of, and
excluded virtually all other business.
The house held the first of a series of
night sessions to expedite the debate
and night sessions may be resorted to
later in the senate.
Senator Chamberlain, of oregon,
chosen to have charge of the bill in
the senate, urged it as war necessity,
declaring governmental control of food
is as essential as of men and NUM-
tons. Senator Sheppard, of Texas,
and Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, Republican, also spoke in behalf
of the bill In the house, Chairman
Lever, of the house agricultural COM
mittee emphasized the necessity of
the legislation. He said the president
could be trusted with the powers pro-
posed and that they Would be invoked
against crooks" and not against le-
Ultimate business interests.

FIRST NEW LUMBER
 BOUGHT BY COONEY
ED PARKS

The first load of lumber received i'll town from the new Howell sawmill has been bought by NJ. ]. Cooney. And III this connection it Is interesting to note that Mir. Cooney was the first to sllip lumber from Fairbanks, first to receive lumber from the Wood river mill, and purchaser of the first lumber sawed by the Woolard-Lear mill ill the upper part of town. The lumber was used to erect the first frame building ill Nenana, now known as the Cooney hotel and store. The structure is 24x4S feet, two and one half stories high.
 Mir. Cooney cached his first cousign- ment of goods here in October, 1915, and the following February he located here permanently, bringing Mrs. Cooney with him.
 The Cooney property, at the corner ot Second and streets, will be consider ably improved this year. There is even the possibility that the present building will be moved and a new and larger one erected in its place.
