About the year 1895, or a little
later, an A. R. P. orphanage was
established at Hickory Grove, S. G,
Rev. ]. H. Simpson, native of Chess
ter, S. G., was chosen to take charge
of this institution. In this home Mr.,
Simpson was able to care for only a
few children on account Of limited
accommodations. There was no land
in connection with the building.
There was a need for a larger home
and for land, which would give the
boys employment in its cultivation.
Mr.. Vim. H. Dunlap very generously
Offered to meet this need. The offer
that he made was the property that
is now known as the VIM. H. Dunlap
Orphanage, which is located in this
(Tipton) county, near Idaville.
This offer was very gratefully ac-
cepted, and Mr. Simpson, with the
few children, moved from South Caro-
lima to their new home in Upton
county, Tenn, during the spring Of
1905. He remained in charge Of the
institution for about two years. The
next year, Rev j. P Erwin, 4 native
of this county, had charge Of the
home. Mrs. DeNott succeeded him
and remained in charge about a year.
During Tie year 1909 Mr., Kerr Oates,
native Of Arkansas, became the
superintendent For nine years he
and Mrs. Oates gave their services to
the institution, giving UP the work
during the month of June or July,

THE STRAWBERRY
AS A CASH CROP
(Article No. One.)

lArLlcte mo. One.l
(By Charles A. Keffer, Director
Division of Extension,)
Farmers who are looking for a
cash crop to add to their cropping
system should consider the straw
berry. 1t is ready for the market in
May, when few other sources Of
money are available. It requires
about the same cultivation as corn
or cotton and so presents no new
tillage problems. 1t can be har-
vested by the women and children
and thus presents special advantages
to the man of large family. The
original cost is small, which is some
thing in its favor, especially to the
poor man. And it has become a
standard crop for which selling fa-
cilities have been worked out and the
cash is soon in the hands of the
grower.
One should remember that straw
berry requirements are just about
the same as corn-the better the soil,
the bigger the crop. 1t is a mis-
take to assume that strawberries can

B. E. DODD PAYS $50
EACH FOR AZ QUEEN BEES

While in Martin last Monday Mr.
B. E. Dodd, the veteran dry goods
merchant of Weakley county, showed
III some queen bees be had just re-
ceived from A. I. Root, Medina,
Ohio. Mr.. Dodd purchased AZ of
these bees at $3.50 each. Each bee
was shipped in small case, covered
with wire gauze, the case containing
a piece of candy as food for the
bee. This is the highest price ever
paid for bees in this section, but Mr..
Dodd, who has devoted much time,
attention and money to bee husband
ry for the past 20 years, believes
they are worth the money.
Mr.. Dodd sells annually large
quantities of exceptionally fine
honey. Much of it is shipped to
customers of years standing. He
handles his own bees and gives them
his personal attention.
