To McNairians:
The people of McNairy county
seemed to have appreciated my
other letter from the replies re-
ceived from my request.
Let all McNairians cooperate
with the management of the In
dependent and make it the best
weekly paper in Tennessee. The
Independent cannot publish the
news unlesss it is sent in. There
are nineteen civil districts in Nc
Marry county, and every one of
them should have news letter
in the county seat paper every
week. ! only recently realized
how much | appreciate reading
the Independent, and | am more
than glad to get it every week,
as it is like a big letter from
home since I came into lonely
Kentucky.
| mailed the Independent a copy
Of the Mountain Advocate, !"
the paper published here. Prac-
tically every issue has accounts Of
laWlessness and crimes in which
liquor is the cause of most every
law violation.
Barbourville has the following
educational institutions: Union
College of the M. E. church, Bar
bourville Baptist Institute. and a
splendid high school. The fol-
lowing industries are here: two
brick plants. ice factory. planning
mill, hickory dimension stock
mill, two bottling plants, ice
cream factory, bakery, four
wholesale groceries, steam laun-
dry, weekly newspaper and two
National banks.
The schools have opened up in.
full blast this year. The rural
school system here is somewhat
different to that in McNairy
county. Schools begin here in
July. and have a six months
term. closing just before Christ
mas.
THERE'S no cotton raised here,

the requirements of himself an

the requirements of himself and
family.
With the development of COM
munity cooperative effort among
farmers, a diversified system of
farming is more secure, because
with cooperative effort, quanti-
,ty, quality and variety of pro-
duct are assured. and those are
the three requisites for good
prices. Every year some crops
will command good prices, so we
will be assured what we need for
home consumption, which viii
not be affected by the fluctua-
tons of the market. And that
bringing good prices will enable
us to stand the loss on those less
in demand. For the Tennessee
farmer, diversified farming is the
safest, especially under present
conditions.

THos. n. rEcK, Commissioner q Aesirniin's

Now that much of the 1921
/. crop is harvested, garnered and
marketed, and that remaining
getting ready for harvest, and
the time for our 1922 activities
approaching, we can afford to
and should give some thought to
our plans for next years crops
what they shall be.
Some of us have concentrated
our efforts on the production pro-
duction of certain crops to the
exclusion of practically all 9TH
ers. We may have found wheth-
err conditions unfavorable for
that particular crop, or we may
have been visited by insect pests
that ruined the crop, or market
conditions maybe were so unfav-
orable for our particular crop
that our entire years labor and
expenditures for equipment and
supplies have proved a dead loss.
and we may have been compell-
ed to buy for use on the farm a
great many things that under
more favorable conditions our
soils would have produced.
Practically all the crops suited
to the temperate zone can be sue
cessfully grown on our Tennes-
see soils, at least to the extent
required for home consumption,
and they anbe profitably grown.
Never put all your eggs in one
basket, is an old adage that
Tennessee farmers can apply
with profit in planning their
farming operations for the COM
ing year. know that staple
crops, such as corn, wheat. to-
bacco, and cotton, because of
volume, will find a market at
some price, but we have not al
ways found that price profitable,
because Of shrewd manipulations
by dealers and spectators and
because we have not co-operated
in marketing our products and
preparing them for the market.
Except on large plantations, q
large portion Of the products OF
farms, if properly diversified, can
be profitably utilized on the
farms where produced. That
part Of the product Of the farm
consumed on the farm is not af-
fected by market speculations,
and when so consumed the farm
owner is assured Of the part OF
the needs of himself and fam
lily, and il his crops are diversi-
fed, some of his surplus will com.
mand attractive prices.
The one-crop farmer, who has
to depend on that crop to buy
what he might as well have rails
ed on the farm, is seriously han
dicapped if that crop should be
cut short by an unfavorable seas
on, or there is an improbable
market for his product. Then
too, at this particular time, wher
conditions are so unsettled ant
prices so uncertain, the hazard il
greater for the one-crop farmer
More security is assured tn,

Another Good Citizen Passes
Away.

Thos. Croskery. aged 76vears,
died at home near Bethel Springs
early Sunday morning. after a
protracted illness. The deceased
was one of the good citizens Of
the county, and possessed the
noble traits of character that
make for the betterment Of any
community in which he lives. He
was ruggedly honest, and a man.
whom all admired and respected.
He was a native of Ireland, com
ing to this country when seven
years OF age. and had lived ali
these years in McNairy County.
MANY years ago he joined the
Presbyterian church at Bethel
Springs, of which church he liv-
ed a consistent member. The
deceased leaves surviving him
four sons, John, Robert. Will and
James Croskery, all exemplary
young.men, and many relatives
and friends. with all Of whom we
join in expression of sympathy.
His remains were inferred in the
Bethel cemetery.
Rev. Powell, conducted the
funeral services in the Presby,
terrain Church at Bethel Springs,
and preached an appropriate and
touching sermon. The large
crowd in attendance at the funer-
al attestel the esteem in which
the community held the deceased.

LIN COLN Is;
BORIENTOWN 0

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa, Oct.
28-Coach Shelburne carried his pets
to Bordentown last Saturday for
game with the team of that institu-
ton. Much to the surprise of the Lin
coin men and their adherents, Bor-
dentown trotted out squad that was
equally as heavy as the Lincoln team.
They first sent on the field husky
squad which Lincoln thought were
their opponents. A few minutes,
however, before the game was called
another team still heavier came out.
This latter group was the first team.
Captain Laws won the toss, Lin
coin kicked off and made two touch
downs in the first quarter. 1t was
very evident that Lincoln was vastly
superior to the Bordentown group
for after making these two touch
downs and kicking the goal d they.
slowed up in their work. 1t is not
to be understood, however, that the
Bordentown team is not a good one.
1t only lacks training to make it a
strong aggregation.
Lincoln scored a touch down again
in the third quarter and another in
the fourth, but did not kick the goal
for either of these touch downs. The
final score, Lincoln &c; Bordentown,
