Bureau Of Crop Estimates.

The stock of grain on farms in Tenn
essee on March /. as reported by 6. l..
Morris, field agent Bureau Of Crop
Estimates, shows the amount to be
very much below the amount held on
same date last year; by reason Of
shorter crop grown coupled with the
heavy losses along many streams. The
amount that was merchantable was very
low also, while the eastern part of the
state shows up fairly well. but even
this section was seriously damaged by
last summers drouth. The middle and
western were not only short 10 quantity,
but much Of the crop was late, and
very wet fall damaged the quality great
ly; considerable amount being lost
from high waters, and large amount
left in the fields during the winter. The
amount shipped out of counties were
grown is far below the usual, only nine
percent being shipped.
The amount of wheat remaining on
farms is about the same as usual, and
about 1872, COO bushels less than last year,
number OF farmers are holding small
surplus, awaiting the outcome of the
growing crop,
The great bulk of the oat crop of the
state is used as hay, and the percentage
shown does not represent actual grain,
but both grain and hay. Only small
amount of barley is grown, and but
little remains on farms. There has
been an increase OF rs per cent IN far n
land values Of all KINDS IN the past
twelve months, and many talms have
changed hands at prices tnaG would
seem fair in excess OF their productive
capaIty.
The amount of corn held on farms in
Tennessee March l, is estimated at 29.

Irish Potato Requirements In
Tennessee

The irish potato thrives best in loose
deep soil full of decayed vegetation.
The open sandy soil of Tennessee i'm
proved by growing clover and other
egume crops produces splendid potato
crops. Manure is needed on thin land
and lime on sour land. Do not apply
fresh manure, lime or wood ashes d.
rectly to potato crop. They aid the
grwoth of scab, They should be applied
to preceding clover crop, but never
at planting time. Well rotted manure
may be applied in the spring, applying
1t broadcast at the rate of 8 to 10 tons
per acre, and blowing it or disci1g lin.
to the soil.
Potatoes respond to heavier appli-
cations of commercial fertilizers than
most other farm crops. The best me-
thod of applyingis to open the rows
that are ready for planting with broad
shovel plow andscatter the fertilizer in
the furrow and over two or three inches
of the middle on either side. Again
run the plow in the furrow to mix the
fertilizer with the soil,
Early Rose and Irish Cobbler are the
standard medium early varieties; Bur-
bank and Green Mounta in the late ones.
Seed potatoes should be true to type,
solid, not wilted, sprouts just started,
but not having long. white apr outs.
Seed should be free from disease; dip
ped for two hours in solution one
pound formalin TO thirty gallons OF
water to prevent scab disease. They
should be cut in uniform piece having
two eyes. There is no advantage in
cutting sometime before planting tC
allow the cut surface to dry. neither il
there any benefit from sprinkling with
ashes.
When ready to plant see that the fur
rows are 80 to SO inches apart. Earl!
varieties should be planted closer thar
late ones.
Potatoes should be planted three O.
four inches below the surface. Th,
seed tubers should be planted one in
hill, IL to Is inches apart. At this rat
it requires approximately l5 bushels t
plant an acre. Covering may be don
with shovel pIow on either side.

The Teachers Examination

The examination for teachers held
here last week by the County Superin-
tendent was taken by l3 teachers. five
white and eight colored. This does not
portend plentiful supply of teachers
for the next school year. On the other
hand it indicates that the supply of
teachers will be just as scarce as this
year. There are about 40 white teach
ers and 40 colored teachers in the county
whose certificates hold over another
year. We need 68 white teachers and
76 coored teachers to fill the schools OF
the county. It is question where the
remainder of the supply IS to come from.
A few teachers whose certificates ex-
pire in June will get them renewed b3
going to the summer schools and get
ting the credits there, but it is not poss-
ible for teacher without certificate
10 20 there and stand the examination
and get certificate in time for the open
ing of the country schools in Agust.
The situation does not look encouraging
for next year, by any means, and local
school men would do well to get busy at
the earlist possible date and get their
teachers for another year.
Many questions are coming in to the
County Superintendent and members OF
of the Board as to what salaries will be
paid teachers next year. These quest
ions can not be answered definitely un-
till there is an idea what funds will be
ilSble. This assurance can be given
every salary will be made as liberal al
the funds the Board has will allow
Some were raised last year, other schools
had teachers put in after most of tbs
schools were started and some Of thes'
got advantage OF an increase. Mos
teachers in the county received more
salary last year than they did the yea
before. and in every case where 1t u
possible the coming year the salary vii
DE fixed as liberal as the funds OF the
Board will permit.
There will te meeting of the Bosrt
about the fret of April ut which the
matter will be- discussed and examined
into rs far as can be and the date TO
the election of teachers will then be set
The Superintendent and the Board invit
applicants to file applications at as earl,
date as possible after April |, and !
can now be promised that definite sctioI
will be taken by the Board rs early a
1t possibly can be done.
Five members Of the graduating elias
of the Fayette County High School wi
receive at the close Of the present sess
on their diplomas and certificate I
teach for one year in Fayette count
without futher examination. This shoul
ncourage others to come to this scho'
mother year and complete the cours
and save the worry of the state exam

Garden Notes

We had almost despaired Of the COM
ing of gardening weather, 80 contin-
uous has been the ram and so constant
the cold up TO this week. This morn
ing, Tuesday, March l6, it was rain
ing, but at this hour 1t has cleared and
the skies are showing thru the clouds
and with the warm morning 1t appears
that real growth of vegetation may not
be far away. But up to this date there
has been very male chance to work in
the soil and all garden and field opera
tions have been much delayed in this
section, few gardens having been
turned, even, much less planted. Ours
was planted in the early part OF Feb
ruary when still quite heavy, but 1t
was the only time it could have been
done to this very day. And in spite Of
the cold the English peas are three
inches high, beets, satisfy. etc. COM
ing up nicely, while a bed of radishes
mustard and lettuce were up well and
were beaten to death by the heavy
rain of last Thursday night. We now
have all the early vegetables planted
and the ground in fairly good shape
If the orchard has not been sprayed
to kill the San Jose scale 1t should be
done at once. before the leaves appear
or the blooms open. Peach and plum
buds are far advanced and very few
days of warm weather like today will
make them burst into full bloom, and
altho the average date of the last kill
ling frost in the spring is March 2l,
there is vet danger of the fruit being
killed. In fact our most damaging
spring frosts generally come in April
The appearance of seed sweet po-
tatoes in the stores indicates thai
planting time is about here. A little
early yet, but time to bed them IL
most due. Every potato grower wht
possibly can do 20 should make hi'
potato bed to grow his own plants
Experiences in this section with plants
shipped from the south are any thing
but satisfactory, planted in too many
cases, heating in the crates and belnl
worthless when received here, the first
appearance of the sun after they arr
set out killing them. The heat loses
them their vitality. Such is not th'
case with plants shipped short distsn
ces, but under no circumstances woul'
we buy plants from southern grower
again to see them die as soon as trans
planted. We will make large be-
here and can supply a limited numbe
of customers, but it would be bette
for prospective potato growers to be
their own potatoes for plants
