R. R. RATES MUST
Be ADJUSTED
Dean of the Wharton School OF
Finance on the Need Of Good
Railroad Credit.
TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.
National Authority on Railroad Trans.
portation Says Roads Must Be
Self-Supportlne or Become
Bankrupt

In an address on 1.-THE Railroad Puz.l
zle," delivered in Philadelphia, Janu-
AIRY 8, DIR. Emory r. Johnson, dean OIL
the Wharton School of Finance, andI
one of the nations leading authorities
on railroad transportation, declared
that "after the first of March the com
panies must be self-supporting or be-
come bankrupt" Continuing, he said:
Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
returned to their owners? For two
years the government has drawn upon
the public treasury to sustain the
credit of carriers.
IF the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges IL
the companies succeed to the extent
that is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able to meet IN
avoidable expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
IF there is no income to be used in
part for betterments and in part for
building up surplus or reserve fund,
the public will not invest in the rail-
roads, their credit cannot be re-estab-
lished and maintained and corporate
ownership and operation of tie rail-
ways will fail.
THE income Of the carriers is deter
mined by public regulation, and prop.
erly so; but from this 1t follows that
the country must decide between a
railroad corporations of the future and
u policy of government ownership.
"rhe government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail-
road operation, both line and terminal.
1t has done much that tie carriers
were prohibited from doing The pub
lie now realize that cooperation of
the carriers in the joint use of equip
mcnt and terminals should be encour-
aged instead Of prevented.
1.-THE railroad legislation now pend
ing In Congress must solve many diff
cult questions, but the most critical one
is that of providing for the future reg
ulation of railroads in accordance with
a policy that will cause the carriers to
secure revenue sufficient to enable
them to perform their services ade-
Quately and with progressive efficiency.
The railroad business must be made at
tractive to private investments or the
country will have to adopt government
ownership and operation of the rail-
roads There is no other alternative"

BLOUNT COUNTY
FARMING NEWS

There wasa keen interest in the
Sheep Shearing Demonstration held
at the Court House Friday morning.
Owing to the rain in the early part
of the morning only about thirty
of the sheep men were present,
but they were representative men,
and fully realized the Importance
of getting the sheep interests of
the county drawn closer together.
Mr.. Charlie Proffitt brought over
some of his registered shropshire
ewes and his sheaing machine, and
he and Mr.. H. R. Duncan gave the
Shearing Demonstration and Mr.. c.
E. Brehm of the Division of Exten-
sion showed how to fold and wrap
the fleece. Mr.. Grehm discussed
the marketing Of this years crop
of lambs and wool clip, and the men
appointed a committee to work up
rules for a cooperative wool sale,
and to look into the sale of the
lambs. Announcements concern
ing these projects will be reported
ater. There is no reason why

black calves which are for sale for
this work. We would like to have
these calves ready for distribution
on Saturday. If this is possible,
the boys and girls who want them
will be notified this week by card
or letter. Nothing but good high
grade or purebred calves will be
accepted, and we think we have

Mr.. H. r. Duncan made trip
to Chicago last week to the Angus
Sale held by Carpenter and Ross.
This was a sale of Angus imported
from Scotland. The 1870 head went
at auction at an average of $1,000.
Mr.. Duncn got into the bidding and
brought two of the heifers back to
Blount County. No doubt he got
his moneys worth for he knows a
good black calf when he sees it. It
is good to have some of our men at
these big sales. The north is al
ready beginning to appreciate what
East Tennessee is doing in the
black cattle world, and their eyes
are being cast toward Blount
county as a real breeding ground
FOR the doddies.
How much lime are you planning
to use this season? Every farm in
Blount County should use if posi-

BILE some lime this season. Lime
one field this year, put it in clover
and orchard grass this fall and next
years crop of hay will pay back all
the expense of the lime and labor.
If you have five years rotation,
then you should try to lime one
fifth of your area in the rotation.
1t is not always wise to borrow
money and to borrow just to live on
in luxury is foolish, but to borrow
money to increase your working
capital, if judiciously done is real
good business. If you can borrow
one dollar this year and get two for
it next year, surely it would pay
you to. borrow. A good applica-
ton of lime will last for eight to
ten years, and will pay fir itself
the first year. Blount County
ought o use 10000 tons of lime
this year, and keep putting this
amount on annually for the next
eight or ten years. 1t would just
about get it's farm lands lined at
that rate and in that time. 1t
would double the hay yield, double
the carrying capacity of the pas
lures; and ultimately, if good
methods were followed, double the
grain yiel6@ of the county on the
area now cultivated. Tuckaleechee

George Emert has already bought a
crusher and Mr.. Jake Farmer is
planning TO get another. The men
in that section are clamoring for
lime. Quite a bit is being put out
by Mr.. French around Maryville.
Every crusher in the county should
be kept going. Esq. Ensley of
reports that he has
bought crusher and will run it
this summer. Communities should
take up the matter and see that
every farmer who will use lime can
get it this season. Lime, clover,
and livestock are the speedometers
with which we measure the progress
Of our farm operations. How fast
S your community moving?

Ginnis got one of the outstanding
heifers, and Mr.. George Painter
got one for his son, Harold. There
were thirteen head sold-ten pure
bred, and three grades. The total
of the sale was $4615. The aver
age of the purebreds was $463.
The top cow brought 5000.
The dairy interest is taking on
a new impetus, and this sale show
ed that the men of Blount County
are beginning to appreciate the
fine field which is rapidly opening
up here for dairy work. We feel
that things are getting started in
the right way with good foundation
cows for building up a permanent
business in the dairy work. By
an annual wedding out of our I'M
profitable cows and the addition of
good high producing foundation
stock, we will soon be in position to
get some real results from our milk
ing herds. Mr.. Clark proposes to
put on an annual sale of Holsteins.
By the careful selection which he
is practicing in picking his cows,
he will be able to do the county a
great service in this work.
We are expecting to get in enough
black calves this week to supply all
of the Calf CLUB members of the
county. A trip is being ade to

Blount County should not have
twice as many sheep as it now has
and by getting together all the men
interested in sheep, it will be pos
sible to get more registered bucks,
better crop of lambs, and a
heavier and better clip of wool. 1t
is our hope to have all of the
sheep men together early in May
of this year to talk over the best
interest of this industry in Blount
County.
The Holstein Sale which Mr.. ].
L. Clark put on Saturday again
showed the spirit of cooperation
which exists among the livestock
men and the business men of our
county. The Poland China men
and Angus men as we'll as the dairy
men of the county were present
and showed a keen interest in the
sale. The business men of Mary
vile were there also with all the
pep of live wide-awake business
men to do what they could to make
the sale a success. Mr.. Clark had
a good offering of Holsteins, ana
the county appreciated them.
Practically ALI f not all of these
cattle sold remained in Blount
county. Mr.. P. w. Moore of the
Aluminium Plant purchased five for
the Plant dairy. Mr.. E. D. Nc

THE COW
By Governor Frank o. Lowden of
Illinois.

The COW is a most wonderful
laboratory. She takes the grasses of
the pasture, and the roughness of the
field, and converts them into the
most perfect food for man. In that
food there las mysterious something
which scientists have found essential
to the highest, health of the human
race, and which can be found no
where else. Men have sought for
centuries the tabled Fountain of
Youth The nearest approach to that
fountain which has yet been dis
covered is the udder of the COW.
Without her milk, children languish,
the vigor of the adult declines, and
the vitality of the human race runs
low. Millions Of these gentle un-
obtrusiye foster mothers of man have
become the victims Of this war. The
world faces a shortage of dairy pro-
ducts. Let US of Illinois help meet
this shortage in every way we can.

The almost historic Gold hotel prop. erty yesterday passed into the posses sion of the Knights of Pythias. The property consists of frontage of 5c feet on Washington street and a Geptn of 1874 feet on Third street. The con- sideration is $63,000, and payment Of $5000 was made.

 The Lemon hotel. a rambling struc- Iure of Mexican architecture, some thing more than 40 years ago, was rne chief hostelry of Phoenix, preceding by some years the Commercial hotel. The Gold brothers, Anton and Martin, bought the site of this property sp iong ago that it cost only a song, ana it did not take much of a cantatrice 10 sing it. Later the brothers divided their holdings of no feet, and Anton Gold took the corner at Third and Washington streets.
 When the Knights of Pythias will be- gin the remodeling of the hotel build ing was not stated yesterday. The-r lease on the present quarters in the Ellingson building will run for Is months. But by that time the other building will be completed.
