TO FARMERS OF GREENE COUNTY.

d. W. Grimes, Nursery Inspector
for the State Plant Board warns all
people in Mississippi to beware of
dishonest nursery dealers and sales
men who are now at work in this
state Some of these nursery ped
dlers are selling seed ing trees for
grated or budded stock and are
charging exhorbjtant prices for them
1t is doubtful if any honest and reli-
able nurseryman will sell Seeding
nut and fruit trees, even though his
customers do not know any better
than to waste their money buying
plants of this kind.
One dishonest nursery agent has
been telling farmers that he was en-
ployed part of each year as Spray
log Demonstrators for the State of
Mississippi. and would come around
at different times during the year.
and spray their trees for them.
The Nursery Inspection Depart
ment of the State Plant Board is nc t
only endeavoring to make inspection
service so thorough that people in
Mississippi may purchase plants with
some assurance that they will be free
of serious insect pests and plant dis
eases, but it is also endeavoring to
rid the State of nursery agents and
dealers who rob the farmers by mis-
representation aud fraud. All COM
plants should be sent promptly to
D. w. Grimes, Nursery Inspector,
Agricultural College, Miss. or your
County Agent.
There are plenty OF reliable and
honest nurserymen and nursery
agents aud dealers. We should do
business with these men and turn
the frauds over to the civil authori-
ties.
l would De GLAD TO nave list OF
all the fruit trees that each of you
farmers bought from the Agents
representing the McMdnnvile Muir
sery of Tennessee, also with this list
state the amount you paid these
agents. Thew have been forced to
paw back all the money they receiv-
ed from some of the farmers of this
County because most of their stock
that they have sold in Greene Coun-
ty has been sold IS budded and graf
ted, when it was seedlings.
Trusting that each of you from
this on will examine CLOSELY the fruit
stock that you buv, and turu into
me at once list of the stock you
purchased from the above mentioned
Company.
Yours truly,

P. M. DAVIS.

A very sad happening occurred in
the home of Mr.. p. NJ Davis, Sept.
9. 1920, when the Lord saw fit to call
him home. Sc
He leaves to mourn his loss a wife,
and four children, two sons and two
daughters, besides host of relatives
and friends.
Mr.. Davis was member of the
Baptist church and we feel sure he
has gone to live with Jesus and we
hope to meet him in the sweet bye
and-bye.
May the Good Lord comfort the
bereaved ones and help them to re-
alize that our loss is Heavens gain.
He was laid to rest in the Rocky
Creek cemetery, where he has chill
dren and relatives gone before. He
was about AZ wears old. The funeral
services we're conducted bv Bro
Lotion from Lucedale, with very
large attendance.
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved ones.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO
CONSIDER IN CHOOSING
YOUR BUILDING SITE

How many times have you heard
the remark, THAT is an attractive,
well built house and a good arrange
ment, but | don't like the location"
and again, Il would give $4,000 more
for that property if | had it on a
certain lot"
How important it is when you are
planning to spend several thousand
dollars for home, to carefully con-
slider the selection of your Building
Site. One of the first things you
should consider, is the surrounding
property, are there any Objectionable
buildings, is the piece of nearby pro-
perty such that would cause cheap
buildings to be built. Next, does
the outlook create pleasing and
agreeable atmosphere instead of a
depressing one.?
Don't fail to note the drainage.
Does the water stand in front of
your property or does the drain from
your neighbor run over you? Good
Health demands perfect drainage.
A very important thing is fertility
of soil for garden, flowers and trees.
Also don't fail to consider the way
your lots fronts and the lay of the
land and the accessibility to the main
part of City. Drive out and note
whether you are compelled to pass
thru an unsightely section, note the
grade also. Do you have R. R.
crossing that has it's danger?
Test this out by driving out the
Niles Ferry Road to Beuna Vista.
Look over those beautiful home sites,
the highest part around Maryville,
with drainage in every direction,
surrounded by beautiful homes and
high class property, with the mag
nificent mountain view, fertile soil
and the beautiful drive to the City
without the danger of R. R. cross
ing.
If you are interested in a home
site not equaled by any around
Maryville or an investment that will
pay you well, attend the Auction
Sale of lots Thursday May Goth, 2
P. NJ, and own your home site in
Beuna Vista at your own price.
You can build a home but you
can't build a location.

sidered a hard bunch to down. The
game Saturday will give the Alcoa
team some idea of what brand of bali
they viii have to go up against this
season. Clinton, it is reported, is an
enthusiastic baseball town and some
surprises are looked for from that
camp. The American Legion is loom
ing up in the eyes of many Knoxville
fans, ard can be considered a dan
ge.Jus team to play. Among the old
heads are Galloway, crack short-stop
for U. Of 7. few years ago and Pete
Donahue, an old Appalachian Leagu-
er. This team last Friday was defeat
ed by the University of Tennessee by
a score of z to 6, which shows it is a
strong team after taking into con.
sideration the, fact that they have
had prsetically no practice this spring
The ALUMINIUM Company is at this
time rushingto rapid completion a
baseball park which will take care OF
several thousand people. 1t is hardly
expected that it will be ready before
June ! t
1t is up to every citizen of Mary
vile and Alcoa to come out and sup
port the team that is "only sixteen
miles south of Knoxville" and by
your roofing, put the "old punch" in
to the boys that it takes to make a
winning team.
The first game Of League Ball
will be played on Maryville College
grounds, Saturday Nav 1st.

SWAT THE ROOSTER

Wednesday and Thursday May 5th
and 9th have been designated as
"Swat the Rooster Days. in Tenn
essee. Sunday May 9th has been
named as day for the rooster to be
served as part of the dinner in the
homes and at the hotels
To sell the rooster will result in
fewer bad eggs coming to market
during the summer months, as in
fertile eggs will keep from 5 to G
months if kept in cool dry room ol
cellar. Your hens not running with
the male bird will produce infertile
eggs.
Fertile eggs cost the farmers Is
million dollars year. This loss is
preventable because it is due to
partial Matching of fertile eggs which
have been allowed to become warm
enough to incubate.
Produce infertile eggs-uuality
eggs, that keep best and market best.
Mr.. J. O. Allen the Commission
Merchant of Maryville will pay an
extra price May 9Th and 9th for all
old roosters. Bring them in.

SCHOOLS GET
MORE MONEY

The members of the city board of
mayor and commissioners have as
sured the board of education, that
the towns appropriation to her
schools next year will be double that
of this year, the apportionment this
year being $2500. That means the
schools next year will get $4,000
from the town, and the mayor and
commissioners say they will allow as
much more for the schools as it is
consistently possible. The board of
education asked for $1,000.
There has been some fear that
Supt. c. D. Curtis might not remain
as superintendent of the schools next
year. However, there is now hope
that he may reconsider this matter,
because of the urgency that has been
brought to bear upon him, and it is
thought quite probable he will retain
the superintendency Prof. Curtis
is recognized as one of the best public
school men in the state, and no other
