INTENSIVE TRUCK
GARDENING DEMONSTRATED

Miss Sidney Standifer, County
Home Demonstration Agent in Unicoi
County, reports very fine demon.
stration of intensive truck gardening
by one of her cooperators, E. C.
Britt.
In the spring of 1918 Mr.. Britt
turned under heavy coat of stable
manure on one thirteenth of an acre
plat. The plat was planted in pota-
toes and resulted in a good crop. In
November it was plowed, narrowed
and set to onions. In. the spring of
1919 manure from a pig pen was
added and 80 bushels of onions were
harvested for market at $500 per
bushel. besides enough to furnish the
table for year. In June, 1919, a
light coat of stable manure was ad-
ded, the ground plowed, and harrow
ed. Then 40 pounds of acid pros
plate was added and the plat set to
cabbage. From this crop Mr.. Britt
realized $50. and had enough cab
bage to supply his family.
In turning in this report to the
agent, Mr.. Britt stated that his rea-
son for making it was to stimulate
interest in intensive truck gardening.

in his mahagany-trim office. He
has been made his company's presl-
dent.
We need to get two things firmly
in mind about American business.
First: In a country growing as
fast as this, the earning power of
money is very great. u our banker
will point out to you that if, at
twenty--one, you begin saving money
regularly, Systematically, you will at
fifty have as large an income from
your savings as you now have from
your salary.
In other words, any man in Ameri-
ca who will set himself doggedly at
1t can acquire a competence.
And second: Business in America
is expanding so fast that any man
who will take the trouble to equip
himself, and who will work deter
minedly, can win a fair measure of
success
Luck? you ask. Yes.
81 believe there are lucky men, "
said Charles NJ. Schwab. Il have
made it rule of my life to surround
myself with lucky men: to have no
other kind in positions of Importance
that | control"
But when you come to ask Charles
NJ, Schwab what he means by luck,
you will discover from his own career
that he means, first, hard work ;
second, an unshakable conviction that
he deserves to be lucky and is going
to be lucky.
Many men have the work without
the conviction.
Get that conviction today.
Get it firmly implated in your mind
that in this country ajority of the
men your age, who have less brains
than you, are going to be successful
men at fifty.
If you believe that you are going
to be one of that majority, if you save
money and work, you will win.
Don't tell me that you won't.
! have never met you; but l have
met good many self-made rich men.
And, without knowing you at all, !
tell you confidently that you have
more brains than some of them have.

1T PAYS TO OPERATE
YOUR CAR WITH CARE

'To get the maximum enjoyment
and comfort from your car you must
be thoughtful of it, says Maryville
Auto and Garage Co., dealer in
Chevrolet passenger and commercial
cars.
do not race the motor unneces-
sarily.
BE warned by every abnormal
noise. If it is a squeak, locate it and
lubrieate the part. If caused by
loose parts, locate them and tighten
the bolts.
Don't tinker. Half the ability to
make an adjustment or repair is the
ability to discover its necessity.
IF all adjustments are carefully
made when needed and every bearing
and working part is well fabricated,
smooth operation will be continuous
with a minimum of attention.
"By neglecting details you may
save time at the start, but you will
make up for it in the long run.
''Do not maintain too high a speed
in driving. The time saved will not
offset the liability of accidents, nor
the extra wear to which the car is
subjected. In the end the time saved
this way is loss in dollars and cents.
"You will find that normal rate
of travel will conserve the life of
your car and give you the utmost
return in economical service.
at is not the number of miles
covered in a given time that counts
most, but the number of miles of
travel that can be obtained at the
least cost for fuel, oil, tires and ad-
justments."

INTEREST IN cULTI-PACKER

H. B. Bliss, Rural Engineering
Specialist, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, says there is
considerable interest aroused with re-
gard to the use of the culti-packer
over the State and that he finds the
more progressive farmers buying
them.
According to Mr.. Bliss, the cult
packer has the following advantages /:
1t packs the ground so the air can
not get to the roots so readily, as in
the case of alfalfa, clovers and win
ter wheat which are sometimes raised
out of the ground due to freezing and
the roots broken away from the soil
which may form cracks admitting the
air to the roots. Packing after freez-
ing fills the cracks and prevents air
from killing the plants.
The culti-packer is an aid in dry
weather in that it packs the ground
and conserves the moisture, which
prevents the plant from being killed
so easily by drouth. 1t pulverizes
the dirt and breaks clods. This
means better yields because of the
firmer, better seed bed. The little
ridges formed by the culti-packer
prevent the ground from caking
after rains.
Mr.. Bliss states that any standard
make will give good satisfaction.

finer grades. With such a carry-over
there is the impression that this
years clip VIII open on lower basis
and that the demand will not be as
active as It was last year.
C. E. Brehm, Marketing Specialist,
Division of Extension, University of
Tennessee, states that such a condi-
ton adds to the difficulty of having a
successful cooperative wool sale at a
country point, as competition will no
doubt be limited to the local buyers
in the county. While this condition
may not prevail at the time this
years clip is ready to market, it is
probable that it WILL according to Mr..
Brehm, and Ell is. of the opinion that
it will be best not to attempt to hold
sales where there is less than 5000
pounds at one shipping point.

TIME TO SWAT THE FLY


Spring, which brings us sunshine,
flowers, songbirds and many other
pleasant things also brings US one of
the great pests of mankind-the
filthy fly.
But this year he will not flourish in
tennessee as he has in the past if
1t Is within the power of determined
campalgners to reduce his ranks.
County home demonstration agents
and other workers of the Division of
Extension, University Of Tennessee,
are drawing up regular battle front
thru the cooperation of community
organizations and clubs for an active
campaign this season. The Ely
Brigade" sung to the tune of Tramp,
tramp, tramp, is the title of a song
that Is being sent out to girls and
boys clubs just now. Here is the
first verse:
In our homes we watch and work
To EXTERN nate the fly
That is bringing death and sickness
to our door;
And with footsteps firm and light
Swatting to the left and right
We will rid our homes of flies for
ever more.
Join the fly brigade! Get the flies
before they get you. Flies carry
filth from the manure pile, garbage
can, spittoon and sick room, to the
baby's milk, food, and to you. They
carry disease-typhoid, tuberculosis,
diarrhea, dysentery and infantile
paralysis. They can not breed with
out filth. More filth means more
flies, and more flies mean more sick
ness.
The fly can be exterminated at
slight expense by screening, trap
ping and destroying their breeding
places. Begin at home, then join
your neighbor in a campaign to make
your community or town hyless, is
the advice of home demonstration
agents and health workers in the
campaign. Kill all wintered-over fys,
make the privy fly proof, screen
doors, windows, porches and keep the
garbage can covered and disinfected.
Trap them-kill them.
Here are some fly poisons to be
used in the house:
dissolve one teaspoonful of
powdered Bichromate of Potash in
four teaspoonsful of water; add one
half teaspoon of sugar. Pour some
of this solution in shallow dishes and
distribute them about the house.
POISON.
2-One teaspoonful of Formalin in
one-half teacup of water. Place
around in the house where children
can not reach it. POISON.
To quickly clean a room where
there are many flies, burn Pyrethum
powder. This stupefies the flies and
they may be swept up and burned.
A flyless home stands for .cleanli-
ness, health and efficiency.

THIS HOARY-HEADED
FALSEHOOD HAS LIVED
LONG ENOUGH
By Bruce Barton

There are a few hoary-headed
falsehoods that have lived too long.
One of them is this:
"Ninety-fve per cent of the men
who go into business is this country
fail"
have heard speakers get that off
at dinners with ponderous gravity. /
have seen it again and again in
magazine articles.
Recently a statistician has examin-
ed the records of business success and
failure in this country, and has prov
ed conclusively that the statement is
not true.
Ninety-fve per cent of the men
who enter business do not fail; and,
of those who do fail, a good many
start, over again, pay up their debts,
and die successful.
We have fallen into the habit of
talking about success as if it were
something exceptional.
In America success is not the ex-
ception-it is the rule.
| am continually amazed by the
mediocre men-men of one idea, men
who bore you to death if you have to
talk with them half an hour-who
win out.
Five years ago a group of US used
to wag our heads sadly about the fate
of poor Horton. He was buried alive
in a great corporation. To be sure,
he had no genius, only a logged sort
of loyalty.

graved notice that Horton had been
made general manager of his concern.

DO NOT BURN OFF VEGETATION

On account of so much rain, the
farm lands in Tennessee will not be
broken until late in the season this
year. In view of this the stalks and
other vegetation may not have time
to decay and may be troublesome in
cultivating the crop, but this is no
argument in favor of burning the
stalks according to specialists of the
Division of Extension. They should,
instead, be cut well with the disk
harrow and turned under. If prop
erly cut and turned under they will
not cause enough trouble to warrant
burning. All vegetation turned into
the soil helps keep up the fertility.
