DECLINE IN FARMING

The preliminary announcement Of
the 18th Census announces the fol.
lowing interesting figures for Sc.
quatchie county:
Jan /, 1920, there were $50 farms
a decrease of 165 from April Is
1910, or 37.7 per cent, showing alb,
sorption of small farms by large
landowners.
The value of these farms increas-
ed IN the period from $771,908 to
s1,074,7S5, or 1872 per cent.
OF these farms 295 were operated
in 1920 by the owners, and "A by
tenants, and of these 1886 were white
and three colored.
In 1910, however, there were
more people employed on these
farms, the figures showing 5O1
white farmers and 3 colored farmers.
The decrease in the last ten years
was 1865, or 32.9 per cent.
The acreage was less, also, 38,O7S
acres being considered farm land
while there were $3.50 acres in 1910.
The improved lands shows a de-
crease of 1897 acres.
Jan. l, 1920, there were Alb
horses on these farms, 448 mules,
1889 cattle, 581 sheep and 1875
SWINE, in all cases less in number
than in 1910.
Sequatchie county in 1919 har-
vested 123,327 bushels of corn,
7,649 bushels of wheat, 2,606stons of
hay, 9,449 bushels of potatoes, in all
cases except corn and wheat less
amounts than in 1909, but with a
greatly decreased acreage. How
ever 1t shows better farming, as for
instance, the 1919 corn crop of
1897 bushels was grown on $500
acres, while the corn crop OF 1909,
1l3 ,402, bushels was produced on
6 800 acres of land, or 1925 bushels
of corn on more 725 less acres of
land.

calves have been managed, fed, and
fitted for the shows by her under the
direction of NJ. V. Roger, county agri-
cultural agent.
Tennessee has several boys and
girls baby beef clubs but the Haw-
kns county bunch are hard to beat.
This club made a great record at the
fairs and the Nashville Fat Stock show
last year and they are just starting
the round for this fall. They will
make their first showing at their coun-
ty fair then they will go to Knoxville,
Chattanooga, Atlanta fairs and to the
Nashville Fat Stock Show where they
will be shown and sold.

scarcely be overestimated. In broad
sense it is redirecting our education,
filling our hearts with a new hope and
revealing the possibilities of a higher

tivities. ~
Farm home life is broadened and
spiritualized and our women learn TO

cost of living.
Nine-tenLhs of the house-holders
around here didn't raise sweet potatoes
enough for home consumption this sea-

very small and other things in proper

Boys and girls club work is one
of the important features Of the agri-
cultural extension work conducted by
the University of Tennessee In CO.
operation with the United States De-.
partment of Agriculture. The object
of this work is to stimulate interest
in livestock and farm activities among
the young people of the state. Where
ever club work has been pushed by
the county agents, larger yields nave
been obtained, better pigs have been
raised and finer cattle, both dairy and
beef, have been grown. While the
boys and girls get some money value
out of their products, this Is only
small part Of the value Of club work.
Many boys and girls have had their
vision Of life enlarged by club mems
bership. Many have taken and are
taking college training. The Division
Of Extension, University of Tennessee,
fosters the various clubs for boys and
girls thru the country agents. IL
there are clubs in your county, is your
boy or girl a member? Have you
county agent? If not, then You can
do big thing for your county By get
ting up interest for an agent. The
Division of Extension will help.

PLEASING
ENTERTAIN MENT

Milton c. Bell, of Chattanooga, gave
an entertainment at the Town Hall
Thursday night, which was much APP
precIated. He had $l2.20 house. and
10 per cent, went to the Hall, or $1.20,
which will be used to repair windows as
soon as price of glass comes down. The
program consisted of ventriloquism,
"Joo and Kate" apparently doing the
stunt, and magic. Mr.. Bell is a good
entertainer. and this makes seventeen
years thatlhe and his little friends. Joe
and Kate, have been on the road.
Mr.. Bell is accompanied by William
Kahanu, Hawaiian, who unfortunate
was taken sick before reaching here.
Mr.. Kahanu will come here later and
give a full program OF Hawaiian songs
and lecture on his country.
The following joke was perpetrated
by Mr.. Bell, according to the Bledson-
ian. while he was at Pikeville:
AS Mr.. Bell was driving,,::into Pike
Vile Friday afternoon he met negro
that had balky mule hitched to load
ed wagon. Just to have little fun Mr..
Bell threw his voice to the mule and
made it appear to say;
Take that load off and l will pull"
What's dat you say?" asked the ne
gro.
Again the mule appeared to say:
Take that load off and l will pull"
The negro became alarmed, threw his
lines down and walked away, saying,

RURAL WOMEN DOING
Big THINGS THROUGH
DEMONSTRATION CLUBS

That the general influence of home
demonstration work, including both
adult and childrens' divisions can
scarcely be overestimated, was an out
standing feature of the program of the
homemakers' section of the Middle
Tennessee Farmers Institute which
met at Columbia recently. The value
of such work was clearly expressed in
a paper read before the meeting by
Mrs Lewis A. Bryant Of Marshall
county.
In a broad sense" she said, this
work is redirecting our education, fill
ing our hearts with new hope and re-
vealing the possibilities of a higher
and better country life in its various
social, educational and community ac-
tiyities"
As Il representative of the Marshall
County Home demonstration Clubs
Mrs. Bryant submitted the following
report on the work done in the county
during the past year:
There are ten womens home
demonstration clubs and eight boys
and girls clubs, four Of these women's
clubs having been organized in new
communities this year. These repre-
sent fourteen community centers.
Twenty regular monthly meetings are
being held with these clubs.
"A number of new members have
been added TO the boys and girls clubs
ard report 415 more chickens raised
this year than last.
THE study of foods and the balanc
ing of meals has been taken up In
many of the women's clubs. Drying
demonstrations have been given and
the women have been much interested
III this method of food conservation.
"Steam-pressure canning has been
one of the chief features in the coun-
ty, and the number of Gamers owned
now is just double the number Of last
year, the number now being fourteen.
THE Marshall County Council of
Agriculture was organized March ~,
1920 The directors of which have
mapped out program of work planned
to fit the needs Of this county in I'M
proving farm, home and community
life. A number of women are mem
bers. It Is largely thru the various
demonstration clubs and community
organizations that the Council plans to
carry out this program of work
Improving Poultry.
1.-THE Marshall County Poultry Asso-
citation has been organized this year,
and with few but very enthusiastic
members, Is trying to place the poultry
industry on better plane from a
standpoint Of both quality and profit.
Last years county agricultural
fair was a decided success. One COM
munity fair was held and one com
munity exhibit was sent to the State
Fair This year two-day agricultural
fair and three community fairs are be-
ing planned.
NEARLY all the clubs have held or

II legend and a lesson

In Eastern lands, the ancient legend,
There dwelt prince, who on mis- regal throne
Wished some device which ever should restrain him.
When light of happiness around him shone.
And when perforce, the sunshine of lfe's pathway,
Yields place to shadow-in that adverse hour
The same device should calm his troubled spirit,
Sustain and soothe him by its magic power.
To Solomon, famed far and wide for wisdom,
He told him hearts desire, and babe him say
What this device should be; and 10! the answer,
There potent words: This, too, shallpass away"
o soul immortal! ponder well the lesson,
Lest pain or pleasure bar thy upward way;
Behold earth's fitting lights, its passing shadow,
A brief existance---they are gone for aye.
Shall pass away! Oh, wondours words of wisdom!
A beacon light to cheer Lies devious way
To guide the soul to realms unseen, eternal---
Az, cen to God who shall not pass away.

THE VERDICT.

On cur front page is the
picture of a grey-haired man
making up a form in a coun-
try printshop. 1t is just an
ordinary picture, such as
could be taken in many
newspaper offices in the land
where the proprietor has
grown grey in the service.
But to the American peo-
pie it means a great deal.
For this man is Warren e.
Harding, now the president
elect of these United States,
a working man, one who
knows what it is to labor
with ones hands and bend
over work until the sight
grows dim.
And it means a wOndrOus
lot for the American people
that have elected such a man
as their head-not their rul-
er, for this is not a mon
archy-but a man who hav-
ing felt the lash of toll can
feel for the hopes and ambi-
tons, tolls and struggles of
the millions he represents.
The American people, the
News feels, has chosen
rightly in this matter, and
from now on no backward
step will be taken. We are
going to mind our own bust
ness strictly, and ask other
nations to attend to their
own affairs. We are ready
to make a pledge with any
nation or collection of ma
tons not to enter war, but
we are not going to agree to
enter war when any other
nation or collection of ma
tions says we must. 9
We are going to grow
greater from now on. We
are not going to try to save
the world but merely look to
the best interests of our own
people. and that will be task
enough.
Warren G.Harding's stand
ard is america First" and
that is what his people earn
estly desire. If that plan is
adhered to we will have
practically the world with us
in our undertakings, for in
doing this we will not NEEDLE
with the affairs of foreign
nations.
