TENNESSEE PRODUCERS.

In order to present to the people
right at home as we'll as those who may
be looking towards Tennessee what
East Tennessee can do. the officials of
the East Tennessee association of COM
merical executives are planning ban
quet during the observance of East
Tel n ,ssee Day at which nothing will be
served except products of East Ten
nessee soil and industry, The beef will
come from East Tennessee farms and
packing houses, the poultry products,
pork, vegetables, fruits and other eat
ables from East Tennessee farms, or
chards and truck gardens, The flowers
will be selected from East Tennessee
hot houses. The table linen will be
fabrics spun and woven in East Ten
nessee mills, the cigars to be manu-
featured by East Tennessee factories
from tobacco raised in East Tennessee
farms, A number of unique things are
planned in little delicacics to be served
from various products of East Ten
nessee soil.
Such plan, if carried to successful
completion, will surely show to the
world what Tennessee can produce,
and of course the purpose of the insti-
gators Of the movement is to show
what the thirtV-four counties in the
eastern part of the State can grow and
manufacture.

How true is this uttersnce. Reports
coming from Mussel Shoals, Hadley Bend
aud other placeswhere Government work
is going on. and the various ship yards
of the country bear assurances of enor-
nous wages being paid. A boy 10 OF
20 can get IS, sc. or sSa day for bis
labor, while one 81 years will be drafted
and sent to war at $50 per month. And
we make the comparison in favor OF
the draft system at reasonable wage
scale. The army draft is fair ard wage
scale reasonable, but the draft and same
wage scale should be extended to labor
needed for Government purposes.

About the worst rebuke we have
heard being administered to an Amer
lean City was given to Memphis
a few days ago when an agent of
the War Department came from Wash.
ington and investigated the state Of
lawlenssess prevailing there and it was
SO aggravated that he summoned certain
law-enforcemen officers. and told
them that Memphis is not fit city for
soldiers to visit and that unless law
lessness there was checked that the
men at Park Field would not'be allowed
to visit the city. The information the
Government agent gave is not new for
every man that visits or reads its
papers or who lives in the radius of au-
tomobile communication knows that
much of this lawlessness exhists there
and that the boot-legging part spreads
to every community in the Memphis
territory, the liquor being bought there
and brought to Somerville and carried
to every other hamlet in the territory
surrounding the city for miles. If the
succeeds in putting stop
to the reign of law violations so notori.
BUS there it will do "a great service to
the whole Memphis territory and the

Ny Lin. Beans. ID


Lima beans should not be planted
until the ground is thoroughly warmed
up, as they are heat-loving crop and,
the seed will rot If planted when the.
ground is cold. Most gardeners pre-
fer the pole varieties, as they yield
better than the bush varieties and are.
superior to the bush varieties In many
other respects. One marked advan-
tage Of the pole beans is that they may
be planted around the fence, utilizing
the fence as support for the vines.
In this manner crop of beans can
be secured with the use of minimum
amount Of spacing.
When planted in rows in the gar
den, pole lima beans are usually plant
ed in hills 3 to feet apart and sup
ported on poles or a string and wire
trellis.
The bush limas are usually drilled
In rows some 81 feet apart for horse
cultivation, or slightly closer for hand
cultivation. The lima beans are a full
season crop, that is, they occupy the
ground for the entire growing season,
and a sufficient amount should be
planted to provide for the needs Of the
family for the entire season. Any sur
plus not used green may be allowed to
dry on the vines, picked and stored
for winter use.
Lima beans constitute one Of the
most satisfactory crops for growing
for winters use, as the only care ne
cessary to save them is to pick the ripe /
pods, dry them thoroughly and shell
the beans. In the northern portion Of
the country where lima beans do not
thrive, pole beans Of the Lazy Wife
variety will give satisfactorily. 8.

The state Of trade over the country

continues to show expansion. Bright
weather, Easter demand and early
season spurs to retail demand.
Wholesale trade good, and only COM

Government buying, however, still the
dominant factor. Enormous pur-
chases foreshadowing still greater
proportions to be reached. Car. ex-

AMERICAS SILENT ARMY

We have often praised our soldiers
For valorous deeds they have done;
We have told in song and story
OF the battles they fought and O
But | have a story to tell you
A tribute | wish to pay
To the American Silent Army,
That is winning the war today.
IT'S the mother who sends her son to
the front,
Altho her heart may break,
She smiles as she cheers them on
their way.
And It's all for her country's sake.
She keeps her tears for the lonely
hours,
When she kneels by her bed to pray
She belongs to the Silent Army
That is winning the war today.
"Tis the young wife who ia left lonely
In some little cottage home,
While her heart is away in the
trenches
Where her soldier husband has gone.
She knows not the day or hour,
The cruel price she must pay;
She belongs to that Silent Army
Which is winning the war today.
Who is first to answer the call of
distress?
Who is first to cheer the brave?
Who is first to lay the wreath of
flowers
On the fallen hero's grave?
Who is first to respond to their coun-
try's call,
And the last to receive its pay?
IT'S the American Silent Army.
And they're winning the war today.
So fill up your glasses, boys,
From some pure native spring,
And take off your hats and cheer, boys
And, while the echoes ring,
Wen drink to the bravest soldiers
In the good old "U. S. A.
To Americas Silent Army
That is winning the war today.
Now boys, let's show our colors.
And quit our chewing gum;
And go to work for Uncle Sam
Who needs us, every one.
And let us all buy Thrift Stamps
You all know what they're for;
For the comfort of our soldiers,
And to help win the a

SEED CORN QUESTION is A
SERIOUS ONE

| would like to ask all farmers if
they realize how serious the need OF
seed corn is going to be in Brookings
county this year? Do you have your
seed corn? Do you know it will grow ?
Would it not be well to find u at
once, so that other plans may be made
to use the land? Seed corn will be
very hard to secure, and may not be
good when received.
If you have any corn that might
grow, examine it, and let me know,
for every bushel of seed saved this
spring means many dollars to the
county this fall. p. V. Finley,
