PRODUCE REVIEW

Poultry movement during the week
has been heavy and much larger
quantity has been marketed than
will be used for current consump-
ton. The surplus has generally
been placed in storage.
Continued lower markets for live
poultry in the larger market centers
have resulted in further reduction in
the buying centers.
Production of fresh eggs con-
tinues light, with prices ruling on a
high basis.
Due to the pressure to sell but
ter, there has been a decline in both
fresh and storage, which is reflected
in the price paid for butterfat in
the country. The total make of but
ter appears to be slightly greater
than for the same period last year.

Sorghum development in Eastern
Kentucky, previous to the develop
ment Of the coal and oil industries,
had very little source Of revenue,
for the purpose of paying taxes,
other than the production of sor-
ghum. The farmers considered. 10 to
20 cents per gallon a good price for
sorghum. 1t was grown in unlimited
quantities and became famous be-
cause Of its wonderful flavor and
exquisite color. When coal, oil and
the railroads were developed in
Eastern Kentucky they became the
sources of revenue and sorghum re-
NAMED low in price, so the farmers
abandoned the growing of the cane.
In 1906 we conceived the idea that
sorghum might be standardized and
placed in packages. In our first
year, 1916, we canned approximate
ly forty-three barrels, which was
the total production Of the county
that season. In 1917 production
jumped to around seventy-three
barrels and in 1918 we secured in
the neighborhood Of 800 barrels.
Last season, 1919, the production of
this county was about 1000 barrels.
For this year we estimate produce
ton at between 5000 and $500 bar
rels, or $50 to 100000 gallons Of
sorghum.
In the beginning we encouraged
the farmer in the production of strip
by guaranteeing him a minimum
price. Each season we guaranteed
him against decline below a certain
figure. This year we have been con-
tracing with them at fixed price.
Last year they secured a general
average of about 80 cents per gall
lon for the crop, and this year in the
neighborhood of 70 cents per gallon.
We soon discovered that the sor-
ghum industry could not be devel-
oped properly unless the farmer was
given some coaching in the way OF
production and in the way of clean
illness and of standardizing his prod
uct. Frequently we had farmers
come in and state that although they
had excellent crops of cane their
production was so low that they
would have to abandon the crop.
Upon investigation we found most
of the mills in this country were of
antiquated type. This year we have
placed in the county at actual cost
to the farmers fifty-six new mills.
The farmers who are using these
mills report that they have produced
approximately 40 per cent more sor-
ghum than they ever got in the past.

Brownsville. July Specially
Col. w. r. Crabtree and Prof. Tom
Early, who are campaigning this part
Of West Tennessee, after speaking at
Ripley Thursday night, came TO
! Brownsville via Henning and Bvrham-
vile. to present the claims OF Col Crab

cratic nomination for governor In Hay

Both sides are claiming the race and
as an evidence Of good feeling toward
Col. Crabtree both speakers we're given

place in the courthouse at o'clock.
The speakers we're introduced by former

Little Roberts Interest.
The Roberts advocates admit that
there is not n very great amount or
interest in Haywood county. but that
there Is some desire on the part OF the
voters TO hear and know the truth. as
evidenced by the crowd which gath
cred TO hear Col Crabtree.
The Roberts men claim that he has
slight advantage in this county be-
cause Of the fact that moro campaign
work has been done In his interest and
he is better known than Col. Crab
tree After the speaking the friends Of
Col Crabtree predicted that his speech
would swing the tide the other waq.
Despite the claims OF Roberts In this
county, there was found here as else

manner the inequalities OF the TAX law

That their influence is being exerted
Tor the governor there seems to be lit

the adjoining county Of Bradley, an
other republican stronghold. Do the

This official republican influence has
Its effect in the towns, but 1t does not

Claimed for Crabtree.
McMinn county, as already stated, is
1ority. The more ardent friends of Col
Crabtree insist that his majority will be
large, while few of his more eau
tious supporters place his majority at a
few hundred. However that may be,
the county may with safety be put in
the Crabtree column.
There Is a chance also for Col. Crab
