SMALL EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
State Agricultural Department Planning
to Uss 10 or IL Acres Hera

Last week Prof. C. A. Noores, Of
the state agricultural departmsnv,
Knoxville. was here seeking to secsYa
small acreage-about 10 to II aeres
for experimental work to cover o
period Of some four or more years.
1t 10 the purpose of tho state to shsw
what can be done on this soil under
such conditions a. the farmers Of this
section can readily meet. Crops csa-
sisting Of a fell acre will be grown 20
that the test will not be confined to
small plots as mas been the custom In
the past.
1t is probable that no person in the
state has better understanding Of the
needs and possibilities Of this section
than has Prof. Moores. At the same
time he ranks among the very best
experts of the entire coun-
try and be feels confident that such
as he will be able to make, a
long sseh lines as any farmer may
easily fellow. will prove highly help
ful to our farmers generally.
1t now seems likely he will secure
ten Or twelve acres On the Jas. Smith
farm. enc mile north of tewr. work
will likely commence this saeson.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN DOUBT
Cost Impressss Some as Being Larger
Burden Than City Can Bear

For several weeks the st. Elmo
Electric Company, Chattanooga. has
ssen figuring on an electric hhgt plant
for Crossville. Friday night meeting
Of the citizens of the town was called
to hear ". J. Jewel. of the st. Elmo
Company. present tho matter on the
basis of cost and benefits.
kr. Jewel presented some very in
teresting things that could be done for
only i've cents, among them being the
following: Use a 25-candie power
electric light 13 hours and 20 minutes !;
use a6-pound electric iron 40 nil utes |;
cook light meal for four persons in
Is minntes; heat two gallons Of water
to boiling point; pull one horse load
with a m motor fer on hour for 10 cents.
he stated that the cost of an 81.
horsepower plant would cost, when in
actual operation. close to $1,000. He
estimated the cost of operation per
month at $3.50 and he also estimated
that there was in sight each month
81, ,080 in business tor the plant.
The feeling en- the part of many was
that the cost of operation would prove
co be moro than bis estimate and that
the business estimated as in sight per
month was too high.
While there 10 q diversity Of opinion
amsng our people. the preponderence
seems to be against the purchase OF
the plant BY the city because 1t is
thought to be more Of burden than
the city can carry. Just vhat will be
done has not a. yet been decided.
The st. Elmo company has had part
Of Main street lit up each night for
absst week and the light furnished
has been in the main very satisfactory.

The extensive use Of lsbor-saving
farm Implements has made it possible
for the Amerie farmer to produce
more per man than any farmer In the
world.
Success in farming depends largely
upon the wise use Of up-to. date ma
chinery. No wares bought by the
farmer bring more profitable returns
than we'll chosen and wisely used farm
machinery.
On every hand, however, is evi-
dence of criminal neglect of this i'm
portant part of farm equipment.
Binders are put away for the winter
under the old apple tree; haying ma
chinery is protected from the ele-
ments only by wire or rail fence !;
cultivators, harrows, etc. are left in
the field where last used.
Millions of dollars are lost each year
through neglect and thoughtlessness.
Few machines in Tennessee wear. cut

Begin now by cleaning off all rust

prevent breakage. tighten all loose
