this portion of Florida went home for
the weekend.
1t has been definitely decided by the
citrus fruit industry's lobby here to
ask for two hundred thousand dollars
with which to carry on the work
against the canker. 1t is understood
that the plant board believes a hum
dred and seventy-five thousand will be
sufficient and that possibly the cam
paign can be pursued with hundred
and fifty thousand dollars or less. The
citrus fruit interests are willing to
leave the amount to the plant board,
but want to be certain that enough
money is appropriated to continue the
work in the same effective manner as
in the past. 1t is stated that the
diligent in their efforts to eradicate

r. w. Storrs, executive secretary of
the state livestock sanitary board. says
a cattle tick will not live on anything
but a COW, that there are some forty
hve different varieties Of ticks east OF
the Mississippi and eight different va
rieties OF tick in Florida, but Mcqueen

grants that cattle ticks occasionally
locate themselves on deer.

and they know a good proposition
when they see it. Mr.. TONNES
then bought the J. w. Heath farm,
five miles north of town, near Ben
nett's levee. He paid $4,000 for
this farm, which contains some
fine land and is quite productive.

Store AT HICO
is BROKEN into
Many Articles Taken, Blood
hounds Secured and the
Parties Trailed

The Hico store was entered and
robbed last Saturday night. An en-
trance was made by breaking down
the front door, and from the stock
there was missed shoes, hosiery,
tobacco, cigars, candy and some
groceries. Bloodhounds were Sc
cured from Paris. They at once
took the trail and followed it about
half a mile up the road to the
crossing of the dirt road leading
to NewbiIl's crossroads and The Nc,
Kenzie road. A second trial was
made with che same result, which
led to the supposition that the rob-
bers had taken a car at this place,
having left the car there for fear
the noise might wake the family
living near the store.
This store is owned by G. L.
Bouldin, Of Mckenzie. md oper-
ated BY B. B. Montgomery. We
are not advised as to the value of
the goods missing.

SCHOOL OPENS
GOOD ATTENDANCE
The Huntingdon High School
Starts off With Good Faculty
and Fine Prospects

The. Huntingdon High School
opened last Monday morning with
a splendid enrolment and a very
decided interest was manifested.
Quite number of the patrons of
the school were present and took
part in the opening exercises.
Rev, D. B. Raulins and Prof. d.
t. Barnhill made appropriate talks
and Prof. Moody, the principal,
outlined briefly his plans and asked
the cooperation of the students
and patrons Of the school.
The school starts off with fine
faculty and most excellent pros
poets, and we believe that excellent
work will be done. From what
we can learn of the school as be-
ing organized and plans being ma
tured the work will be thorough, a
thing that should be exceedingly
gratifying to our people. The ten
dency of the schools OF late has
been too much toward rushing pu-
pills through grades and gradual
ing them without regard to eff
cheney or qualifications.

LATE CORN CROP
PROMISES we'll
West Tennessee Crops Better
Than in Other Sections,
Says F. M. Mckee

THE condition Of the crops
generally in this end of the state is
much better than in Middle or
East Tennessee" said DR.. F. M.
McRee, commissioner of agricul.
ture, Monday.
DR.. McRee has recently returned
from a trip over the state. He
found that after the prolonged
spring rains the drought which
followed in many counties in the
eastern division had caused much
damage to crops there
Both Middle and East Ten
.nessee farmers raise much wheat, "
he said, but the reports in my
Office show that they have lost
money on it this year, for the
average yield in Tennessee is only
nine bushels to the acre. Last
year the average was only 10
bushels. That condition must be
remedied. for it costs at least $25
an acre in Tennessee reproduce an
ACRE of wheat. The remedy is in
better farming, rotation of crops,
pasturing land to hogs and cattle,
before wheat is sown. On my
own farm in Obion county raised
this year 20 bushels to the acre
but ought to have done better.
Many farms in Obion have pro-
duced from % to 80 bushels.
Corn generally in East Ten
nessee will be good if the season is
long enough, and other crops
generally Will be about on a fair
average"
In talking with group Of
friends, DR.. Mckee sai6he had no
patience with the people who point
to the farmer as a pro6teer. The
farmer is only making fair liV-
ing," he said, "but tits the system
of distribution that puts the cost
so high to the consumer in the
cities.n
