one of the Unions greatest states, and

ONE COUNTY LESS IN STATE
James Comfy Votes by Heavy Majority
to Unite With Hamilton.

The school children of Tennessee car
no longer say that Tennessee has 81
counties. That is due to election held
in James county few days ago that
united James with Hamilton county.
James county is little shoestring
county that stretches along the Ten
pessee river east of Hamilton county
and on the east side of the river, the
river forming the line for the larger
part OF the distance.
! A few days ago an election was held
looking to the union of James county
with Hamilton. The result was that
the vote carried by large majority,
there being over 900 for and less than
200 against the change. That means
that the lively little city of Ooltewah
will soon cease to be county seat and
Will be counted as one of the live towns
of Hamilton county.
Such changes as that of James county
are very rare and when made must Ger
tainly appeal to the people with great
force as being the best thing to do.
We do not understand the why's and
wherefores of the change, but hope to
be able to give them to our readers in
our neyt issue.

To HAVE HOME POWER PLANT
James Smith to Light Home and Do ma
ny Things With Electric Power

James Smith, one of the most extern
sive and most progressive farmers in
the county, has decided to put in q
power plant for his home and farm.
The plant that Mr.. Simth has ordered
will cost over $500 and is provided with
4horse engine, which will not only
enable him to light his home, but will
also furnish power to run silage cut
ter, unload hay, cut wood and multi
tude of other smaller jobs about the
place. The plant has been ordered and
will be installed as soon as it arrives.
Mr.. Smith is planning a course of
farming that he intends shall build up
his cultivated acres to a high state of
fertility. In order to do that profitably
he realizes that he must reduce his
manpower to the minimum and instead
of the manpower, must use a cheaper
pow er along with the most advanced
machinery methods. He has unbounded
faith in the possibilities of the land of
this section, and as he has now almost
reached his present desired limit of
cleared land-which amounts to some
$50 to 200 acres-he feels that his
greatest profit is to be made in increas
ing the fretility of his land while
doing profitable farming.
He is now preparing a car of Angus
cattle for the market and when ready
for shipment will very likely be far the
BEST car OF cattle that ever went out of
his county.

WHEAT AND RYE CONDITION
Acreage Mnch Reduced and General
Condition Below Normal.

| With the most unfavorable fall for
farm work known in the state for
long time, there is the smallest acer-
age sown to wheat possibly in fourty
years, as reported by G. l.. Morris
| field agent Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of agricul-
ture. With the very poor yields for the
past five years, and the heavy in
creased expense of raising wheat.
most farmers had already decided to
cut down acreage, and some to en-
tlrely abandon Its raising; the con-
tinous rains during October and the
greater part Of November kept the
lands in such condition that seeding
was next to impossible.
The acreage sown to wheat in Ten
nessee this fall, ase stimated by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates is GO per
cent of the acreage sown last year, or
about 493, GOO acres, compared with
822. 900 acres last year. The condition
as reported is rs per cent normal,
compared with "a per cent last sea-
son.
In the United States the acreage
sowD is estimated at SO, no, 600 acres,
a decline of % per cent frcm last
year when the acreage soWn was
50,489, 900; and the condition is 85.2
per cent compared with 1856 per cent

Rye which is sown in Tennessee
mostly for pasture and winter cover,
and is usually sown earlier than wheat,
has larger acreage in porpor tion,
and the condition much better; the
acreage is estimated ct 95 per cent of
