INTERSTATE FAIR TO
FEATURE POULTRY SHOW

Mr.. Curtiss, secretary of the In
terstate Fair Association has an
nounced that the Fair executives
agree to offer a very attractive
premiuml is TAFT he Fair this year.
In fact Mr.. Curtiss stated that the
poultry premium list of the State
Fair at Nashville would be duplica-
ted, and thisl list is acknowledged to
be the best of it's kind in the South.
Also the Association will furnish
standard coops for the birds exhi-
bited which is very important mat
ter to be taen care of at good
poultry show, since breeders of
valuable fowls are not willing to
bring them to a show unless the
best care is promised for them.
Moreover, the manner in which the
birds are exhibited adds to their
general appearance when the time
for judging comes and the impress
sion the show makes on the public
mind is influenced to great extenr
by the manenr of exhibiting.
The local officers of the poultry
association at Chattanooga have also
agreed to foster the success of this
show at the Fair with their coop
Grafton and help in all ways posi-
BILE. Their cooperation will be an
aid in making this the best poultry
show in the South, which is the de-
sire of the Interstate Fair Associa-
ton.
Since the Interstate Fair has never
in the past given much Importance
to the poultry show, this announce
ment is of very great interest to
breeders over the State and in the
surrounding states who are in the
habit of exhibiting their birds. This
year it isc onfidently expected thar
there will be birds brought to the
show by the best breedersi Ten
nessee, and even as far away as
New York as this has been rumored
by the most accurate authorities on
the subject. This premium list of
fered by the Fair is so excellent
that it will can something to be the
possessor of one of the premiums.
The list will be made public.
Mrs. Forbes, poultry specialist of
the Division of Extension, University
of Tennessee, wasi informed of the
agreement of the Fair Association
by Mr.. Curtiss himself during re-
cent visit which she made to Chatta-
nooga.

STRAWBERRIES A
PROFITABLE CROP.

During recent years there has
consistent decline lin the
acreage and production of straw
berries in Southern producing terri
tories. This decline, pobably due to
the difficulties in securing labor to
harvest the crop, has curtailed pro-
duction considerably below con-
sumption deands, and has resulted in
higher prices being paid for straw
berries than has ever been known
before in the history of the country.
Some idea of the decline in acreage
and production and consequent eff
feet in increasing the prices can be
secured from the following figures:
In the sixteen southern states
producing early strawberries in
large quantities, there were in 1916,
98,825 acres planted to strawberries;
In 1917, $4,000 acres; 1918, $4,000
acres; and in 1919, $1,000 acres.
From this total area in 1916 there
weres hipped total of $4,000 cars,
principally to northern consuming
markets. In 1919 there were ship
ped a total of 5000 cars, or 5000
cars less than in 1916. The average
car contains $50 crates of twenty
four quarts each. The price per
quart in 1916 ranged from $40 to
$.15, in 1919, SIS to $.33 qaur..
According to the Bureau of Mar
kets there were 10000 acres planted
to Strawberries in Tennessee in 1918
and 8,43O acres in 1919. This gave
tonange of 1434 cars shipped from
Tennessee in 1918, and 1899 in
1919. While the greatly reduced
acreage in 1919 gave an almost
equal yield to 1918, the average
cash f. o. b. price for 1919 was
$4.91, for "a quart crate, COM
pared with 1918 received in 1918.
at which price the crop was worth
considerably more than during the
preceding year.
The year 1919 was an exception
ally profitable year for berry
growers. Statistics gathered in
Tennessee berry section from 20
growers who kept actual account of
costs of production and marketing
show an average net profit per acre
of the 1919 crop was $337.23 based
on reports of actual sales made by
growers in all berry districts of the
State. The largest profit reported
by any individual was $925.6O per
acre. The profits from straw
berry crop as seen from the above
are such as should cause many
growers to plant this crop.
1t is possible that there will be a
slight increase in acreage this year.
but coincident with this possibility,
there has already been an increased
demand for consuming purposes.
Contracts are reported for berries
at $3.50 to 1915 a crate which is a
very high price. National prohibi-
ton has caused a greater demand
for fruit juices, and has made these

Liked the singing

One of the most interesting features. of the Rainbow veterans reunion was the singing of that splendid chorus on the corner of First avenue and Twen- tieth street during the parade says s. P. Gillmour. There must have been at least 100 voices in the chorus and it was indeed an inspiration tc hear them singing patriotic songs as the veterans marched by. It brought vivid recollections of the days during the war when the women did such splendid work. and took so much inter est in the various parades for the pur- pose of pushing each war drive.
 This chorus is most democratic. am told, and is composed of women from various sections of the city, as well as the various schools, Sunday schools and other organizations. Mrs. W. J. Adams, who has been untiring Tn. her efforts for this chorus, deserves worlds of credit for the splendid result accomplished. Birmingham should in deed be proud of such chorus Of young women"

THE RIVERS OF -DAMASCUS---By Frank Willis Barnett

tle for the chief charm of the Bible is that it's men and women are not pun- pets, but made of flesh and blood and give way to their passions, just in about the same way that we do thousands of years after they are dead and buried. One of the best ways to restore one equanimity when the days work brings it's worry and fret is to take long view If history and see how foolish it is for any of US to take ourselves too se- rjously or to make too great an outcry when our feelings get ruffled
  Naaman was quite human, as was shown in his first indignant outburst, Are not Abana and Pharphar rivers of Damascus. better than all the waters of Israel? May I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in rage l like for fellow to stick up for his home town. and I have al ways felt closer to Paul of old for meean city, but here is a man who says good word for his rivers. 1 just call attention to this to try and put to shame those in this community who refuse to stand by the Warrior.
 
 But his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father. if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not have done it? How much rather then, when he saith to thee, wash, and be clean.' pr. Graves, the preacher who grpped me with the story in my childhood, had me so afraid that Naaman was going to buck and go back home without obey ing the prophet. that I almost shouted for joy when he got Naaman down to the rivers brink. But again he held me in suspense, for after each time thR. Naaman dipped he cast doubts as to whether he would complete the seventh one.
 fI'll never forget how happy I was, when pointing to Naaman. standing on the banks of the Jordan, he cried out. Look at him, his flesh is as clean and rosy as child" There are some speak CTS who can make their hearers visual ize a scene.

CAREER OF GIL ERT STUART

actuated not so much by Stuarfs admirs- ton for the first President of the United States, but because he thought that a portrait of Washington would make his fortune. Finally. one day he met John Jay, the financier, whose portrait he had left unfinished in London. The statesman took Stuart to see Washington. For the first time in my life I felt awed in the presence of my fellowman." Stuart said afterward.
 His first portrait of .Washington was failure, so Stuart tore it up- The sec ond, known as the Athenaeum portrait, was painted in an old studio-ba in Ger mantown. Pa Nellie Custis. Mrs. Law. Gen Henry Lee. MT. and Mrs. Lester, Louis Phillipe, in fact. all the celebrated men and women of colonial and revolu- tionary times. made the studio a rendez- vous.

Many rivers have had their beauties written up by literary celebrities. The Rhine by Victor Hugo. the Ganges by Pierre Loti, the Disc by Robert-Louis Stevenson. the St. Lawrence by Charles Dickens the Thames by Charles Dick ems, Jr. the Don by Elisee Reclus, the Loire by Honore de Balzac, the Merrimac by Henry D. Throeau.
 But while around many of them beau- tiful legends have clustered, the pretti- est story of all is the one in the Old Testament, in which an Israelitish maid en tells her mistress of Elisha's, the prophet of Samaria, ability to cure her husband, the captain of the host of the king(of Syria of his dread disease. Search where you will, but the stories found in the old Israelitish literature are the best of all.
 It came to my mind while studying about Damascus. for it was the home of Naaman, who had delivered his coun tryrnen from the Assyrians. He. was mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. Among the Jews leprosy was considered unclean, and it pictured an evil state of life. Lepers were not allowed to live in the town, and when they saw others coming near they were compelled to cry out "Unclean, unclean" to warn away.
 Nou5 anters the scene a little dark eyed girl for 'tthe Syrians had gone out by companies, and brought away cap tive from the land of Israel a little maid and she waited on Naaman wife, Her name is unrecorded, but her deed still lives. In rereading the story my heart was stirred within me at the thought of thousands of other Jewish children who in the light of the twenti- eth century had been treated worse than captives by their captors.
 
 She was true to her religion and her thoughts were of Elisha, and with pity ing heart she spoke to the wife of her master about the great prophet of sa- maria. who had power to cure even lep- rosy. Evidently Naaman was close to the King of Israel, for when he was ready to test the truth of the little cap- tive's belief in Elisha, the king said: ..Go. and I will send a letter unto the King of Israel and he brought the letter to the King of Israel" This is an interesting sidelight on the relations of the two kings.

Basis of Earnings of
 Southern Railways

e OUTHERN Railway stock was NJ the most active on the New York exchange a few days ago. A turnover of forty thousand of its shares was the best of the session.
 There was reason for this. It Is the prosperity of the south re- flected in the earnings of the South ern, of which the Wall Street Journal says:
 In the five months ending May
 Sl, Southern railway showed gross
 earnings of nearly s61 100000 as
 against slightly over s49,O0O, 900 in
 1919, and $44,000,000 in the corre-
 sponding period of 191S Out of
 this the company derived a net
 operating income for the period of
 $s,S57,o00 as against s2,000,000 in
 the first five months of 1918.
 When the Southern earnings at- tracted attention during the war they were, credited to the numerous can. comments along the line and to other phenomenal conditions of the war period. We of the south knew that the bumper farm crops and yield of hogs and cattle going to the slaugh- ter houses also had something to do with the increase in railroad earn ings.
 lnasmuch as the earnings of 1920 have gone ahead of those of preced- ing years and none of this can be attributed to cantonments and wars contributions, the south has reason to claim that the increase reflects ag- ricultural and industrial conditions along the lines of it's railways.
 In that assumption the south is justified. The incontrovertible data has been published time and time again, and speaks for itself.
 And it should not be forgotten that much of this southern prosperity IS due to the absence in the south of that spirit of unrest, lawlessness and anarchism that unhappily has infested the east and laid a heavy hand on its industries while ours have gone serenely ahead.
