SOUTH HARVES7S
BIG POTATO CROP
Irl-State Produce Over 21,-
100000 Bushels. Average
SIP Per Acre. .

The south is harvesting the big
gest sweet potato crop in it's histo-
ry this year, the production even
Surpasses the enormous harvest Of
last year. This heavy increase in
total production is due to increased
acreage, and it is notable fact
that the production per acre ;s
slightly less this year than it was in
1920.
Figures made public Tuesday by
u W. Watson, market specialist of /,
the Memphis Chamber of Com.
merce, show that the total produce
ton OF sweet potatoes in the United
States this year is approximately
ll4,OOO,0OO bushels. More than
,one-fifth of the crop has been
raised in Arkansas, Mississippi and
Tennessee. The average produce
tlon per acre in the tri-states %
slightly more than 1913 bushels, as
compared with an average of 1O7'
bushels per acre last year. This
loss in production per acre, how-,
ever, is absorbed by the increase in
acreage, which is approximately
1857 acres in the three states.
Thirteen southern states pro-
dueing sweet potatoes will realize
an average value of $112.55 per
acre from this years crop. This Isl
little more than 81 per bushel,
which is usually considered a fair
base price for sweet potatoes. Tu-
bers are selling in Memphis at the
present time for something like 81
per bushel retail
Arkansas is the only one of the
tristates producing more. sweet po-
tatoes this year than in 1920.
Arkansas crop is estimated at g. /
O95,000 bushels this year, as COM
pared with $4,000 bushels last
year. In 1920 this state had a to-
tai acreage of $4,000, while this
year $1,000 acres were devoted to-
potatoes. This shows an increase.

Loafers Refuse Work
At $500 and Board

! M. E. E. Mitchell informs the
Enterprise that a gentleman was
here one day this week looking for
laborers to work on the concrete
and iron bridge being builded at the
river, east of town, three miles;
that he offered number of niggers
who have not hit lick of work all
summer 50 per day and board. and
only got two. He wanted 20 hands
at the above stipulated price, Nj.
Mitchell says.
Two dollars per day, minus the
board, is considered pretty good
pay for just common every day la
Dor these days, and when the hoard
is thrown in as an extra inducement
the offer ought to be attractive.
In fact, it is where one is willing to
make an honest living.

this afternoon at o'clock in the To-

ID. d. of Lebanon. DR.. Miller
chose as his text, "They forsook all
and followed him." This trouble

the Rev. Dr. 0. E. Gardner of
Chattanooga, Rev. DR.. John S.
Eakin, pastor of the Fourth church,
Knoxville, was elected moderator
and Rev. R, /. Canon of Union
Presbyterian, temporary clerk.
The outstanding feature of the
afternoon session was an address by
DR., L F. Hamburger, a medical
missionary of Shantung, China.
While DR.. Hamburger made no at
tempt at oratory, his address
throughout every minute carried
intense interest with it. christian

assistance she was able about get
ting breakfast, and after they had
gone to the sorghum field to strip
sorghum Mrs. Ogg went back to bed
and fell sound asleep. When she
was awakened hy the roaring of the
flames the house was all but ready
to fall in and she made hasty exit
from the furnace-like building.
The boys in the field had not dis
covered the burning of their home
until neighbors sounded the alarm,
In fact, the building was so far
gone when help arrived that practi-
cally nothing was sayed--one feath-
err bed, two or three quilts and one
picture. This was a well built
home, two story and contained six
rooms. Mrs. Ogg carried 5000
insurance on the dwelling and con-
tents.
Smoke from the burning building
was seen at a great distance and
telephone calls were made by many

grip was taken by mistake by some
other passenger getting off the
