\ DEMONSTRATION FARM

Frank Hawn wants Demonstra-
ton Farm at Barbourville or near
enough for farmers to go and see
results of scientific and intensive cul-
tivation. Thus far he has not made
much progress in interesting people
in the scheme but he has the right
idea in his bonnet Most people are
from Missouri so far as new ideas
are concerned, but when they can
be shown that they can make money
by following a certain line of work,
they will generally take hold and
try it out First the progressives
and later on the tag-tails. Thus do
we progress.

PROPHEsY ON KNOX COUNTY

The reserve power of the farmer
does not lie so mush in Drawn and
muscle as in the brains with which
Providence has endowed him. Farm
ing should be no more Of slap
dash bushes than is the manufacture
of shoes, auto tires or wooden nut
megs. The manufacturer does not
create before he plans. He buys
machinery which will save labor; he
adopts a cost system which keeps
him Informed as to what each de-
partment and each article costs him
to produce and the profit on the
same. He does so because other
wise leaks will eat up his business
and he will go to the business scrap
pile.
The American farmer is coming
more and more to adopt modern
machinery, modern methods and to
adapt himself to the spirit of pro-
gress which has touched all lines of
human endeavor. He is beginning to
look on farming as business in
stead of a mere livelihood and his
bank account forms one of his inter
esting and absorbing collections.
Knox County has much to develop
but 1t is also true that we are begin
ing to develop our latent wealth
We are beginning to take an interest
in scientific or demonstrated me-
thods which have been proved super
ior to old methods. We are going
much farther than we have gone.
These hills of ours are going to pro-
duce hundreds of dollars per acre
in fruit. There will be canning
outfit on most farms to save the sur
plus fruit and we can and shall grow
the grapes and press out the Juice
which is sold over the counters of
the drug stores.
We shall grow sweet clover and
honey bees will fly from flower to
flower humming over their work of
creating wealth.
Sweet potato drying houses will be
found on each farm and the silo
for the milk producing ensilage.
The hog that grunts his way to sat
isfied fairness will be a patrician, blue
blooded, with a line of ancestors of
which his owner will be proud.
The Shorthorns will be no whit
inferior in ancestory and the scrub
COW will no longer be found in the
land.
Chanticleer, who greets the rising
sun with clarion call will be the
proud progenitor of the 200 egg hen
of the future and his harem will be
like unto him.
Sheep and high class Angora goats
will clip the heritage and busheC
since it will be found they swell the
bank account and Tige. dear old
Tige, will be buried beneath a tomb
stone to mark his last resting place
and in his stead will reign Scotch
sheep dog, useful for herding of all
descriptions.
The roads of Knox County of
which we speak with that becoming
charity one uses toward the unfor-
tunate, will have gained their self
respect and will spread a broad,
smooth surface for wagon and auto
alike and We shall do all this be-
cause the farmer has brought his
reserve power, the brain which Pro-
violence gave him. into full play and
he has found that it pays. Pays in
cially and financially.
