ACRE OF POTATOES

From CrossVllle comes most
remarkable story of the wonder
full success of a grower of that
section in potato production.
John Brewer, who lives at Cres-
ton. got a hunch into himself last
spring that he could raise some
potatoes. And he did. He rails
ed 416 bushels from an acre and
a hal: of land, which he sold for
S467. 80, and still has 80 bushels
on hand worth $50. His total
production from the acre and a
half was SOC bushels, an average
of 339 bushels to the acre. The
potatoes he sold brought him an
average price of 81, 125 per bush
ell. His total profit from the acre
and a half was $488, an average
of 1925 per acre. ,s.s ss-5s.g
The way hemanaged to achieve
| this feat is intensly interesting
and is as follows: Early in Feb
ruary he turned an acre and a
half clover and timothy sod eight
inches deep. Then after leaving
it fallow and exposed to the frosts
he broad casted it with seven
loads of stable manure, discing 1t
well into the soil. The rows
| were laid off 24 feet apart and the
potatoes planted therein one foot
apart. They were covered by
,, running a shovel plow on both
sides. Just before the potatoes
f we've ready to commence their in
vestigation of what was going on
on this orb Mr.. Brewer dragged
, the ridges formed by the double
4 shovel plow down with cultivat-
, ing harrow with its teeth turned
y backwards. This just suited the
t Messrs. Potatoes and their growth
o her after was something
; wonderful. They were plowec
q twice with double shovel plows
y with narrow blades, calf-tongue
!. size, and at the last plowing
o peck of whippoorwill peas were
were drilled into the middles
The sowing of these peas resultet
in the cutting of three tons of ha!
from the acre and half at dig
: ging time and was of immens
benefit to land also. The ha'
\ alone was worth $50. r~2s +

When a meteor rushed thru the
sky yesterday morning shortly
before day light, with low rumb-
ling noise similar to thunder and
close enough to Chattanooga to
cause very distinct rafting OF
windows and shaking of every
thing not nailed down, some peo-
pie thought another street car
had been dynamited, others be-

started operations locally, and the
negro population expected to see

Shortly before 6 o'clock, and
while it was still dark, the skies
frightened suddenly, and then
there burst a food of light almost
dazzling in its intensity. 1t fiared
for about one minute. and then
receded as quickly as it came,
leaving the skies dark and sullen.
With the light was a rumble
described as being akin to the
sound of thunder, altho some who
heard it declared it to resemble a
dynamite explosion.
The meteor was distinctly seen
by residents of Menlo, Ca as it
speeded overhead. followed by
streaks and points of light, and 1t
probably struck earth in the
mountains somewhere near the

"The war has brought home to the
public that the communal or national

made a success. Within a compare
lively short period there will probably
be installed many hundreds of these
establishments throughout the coun-
try. The national kitchen was origi-
