BUY SEALs.*

This is the cry of those in charge of
the annual sale of Christmas seals in
Tennessee. This drive which is a part
of the annual crucade against tuber-
culosis in this State will begin on Dec.
LIST, and continue through Dec. oath.
Twelve years ago the concerted
fight against the great white plague
in Tennessee began when the State
Federation of Women's Clubs con-
Quoted the first sale of Christmas
seals. Since that time the sale has
been carried on each year at the
Christmas season and as a result of
this work, great strides have been
made in the prevention and elimina-
ton of this great malady from within
the states borders.
At the time the fight began there
was no organized force behind the eff
fort to arouse the people of Tennessee
to the ravages of the dread disease,
but with the annual Christmas seal
sales has come to a thoroughly con-
ceutrated effort, backed by a central
state organization and assisted by
business, health, charitable, social and
literary organizations, that has
brought wonderful results.
At the beginning of the fight there
were no tuberculosis hospitals, no
health nurses, no medical inspection
of school children, no fresh air camps,
no nutrition classes, no health cru
SADIE, no health education, no vital
statistics. And the worst of it all was
that tuberculosis was considered as
incurable.
But today things are different.
People know that tuberculosis is cur
able, that it is being cured every day
right here in Tennessee. There are
324 beds in publis hospitals for those
sick with tuberculosis. There are
sixty public health nurses; there are
clinics, dispensaries, open-air schools,
mental clinics, fresh air camps and
other agencies that are doing their
part in the winning fight gainst the
great white plague.
The fight is being won. In 1915
the death rate in Tennessee was 200,
while in 1920 it was 1868. In 1919
about 4499 persons died with tuber-
culosis, while in 1920 only 3710 sue
cumbed to the same disease, showing
a saving Of 789 lives in one year. The
fight is being waged now more siren
uously than ever before.
Christmas Seals are playing a lead
ing part in this great work. Hence
the cry, "Be a life-saver. Buy Christ
mas Seals"

Evangelist NJ. F. Ham, who has
been preaching in Nashville, does not
seem to agree with some of the other
preachers in their idea that the world
is growing better. He says that the
Bible is very explicit in its declara-
tion that the second destruction Of the
world will be by fire, and he believes
that the destruction will be as COM
Eplete as was that of the cities Of
sodom and Gomorrah-also that the
destruction will be brought about
from the same cause, the extreme
wickedness of the people. If Mr.. Ham
is right about the eventuality, we Won
der when the time will arrive that
the world will begin to get worse-if
it is getting BETTER now. We won
der when men and women will exhibit
less heartfelt interest in religion than
NOW-when men will become more
grasping and selfish than now and
women will become more frivolous,
more extravagant and less consecrat-
ed to the real responsibilities of
life. We believe that Mr.. Ham be-
lieves and believes correctly that the
world to-day--the more civilized the
wickeder-is on the road to the final
fall which overlook rich and culture,
Greece, Rome and Egypt.

FAY POPE THE CHAMPION.

Fay Pope, son Of Finley Pope, a
Henderson county farmer, living near
Huron, on the NC Railroad, holds
the championship as corn producer,
having made 105 5-14 bushels on a
measured acre, under the direction of
County Agent, H. A. Powers and is a
member of one of the Agents Corn
Clubs. This acre Of 105 5-14 bushels
of corn was made with the use of 10
loads of stable manure and 1875 pounds
of acid phosphate as fertilizers. Five
years ago the land was lined and was
seeded to red clover, and was turned
after moving the first crop, the Sec
ond year, and then sown to Alfalfa,
which stood until the Fallof 1920.
Counting the manure at $500 the
load and all other expenses, including
rental value of the land and value of
the seed, the entire cost was $34.53.
Before this acre Of land was lined, it
would have perhaps produced %
bushels of corn and the land is known
to have been in cultivation for almost
100 years. During the building pro-
cess the land was all the time pro-
ducing valuable crops. Other yields
of corn in the county, by corn club
boys, and under our most efficient
County Agent, have run into the nine
ties bushels to the acre.
Club work is intended to assist the
farmer in the solution of his prob
lens. The lesson to be learned here
in that it is not necessary to for the
farmer to cultivate so many acres in
corn to supply his own farm if he
could only make his soil fertile. This
demonstrates that it is altogether
profitable to have fields of corn that
will average rs bushels of corn by the
use of lime and clover.
