FEDERAL PRISON
FOR TENNESSEE

A federal prison in Tennessee to
which short-term prisoners may be
sent instead of serving in the county
jails, will be proposed in a bill in
troduced by Congressman w. f.
Clouse, of the Fourth district, soon
after congress convenes in extra
ordinary session. The sum of $780,
600 will be asked for the erection Of
the institution in some central part
Of Tennessee.
Before his election to congress,
Mr.. Clouses attention was drawn to
the apprehension with which federal
prisoners regarded the short terms
in county jails, He Investigated and
learned that these prisoners always
as a rule, considered the county jails
insanitary and unhealthful, and,
moreover, they objected to the en-
vironment. In fact, ofttimes they
would express a preference to be
sent to the federal prison.
Mr.. Clouse's plan is to have the
government buy a suitable site with
an area of land adjacent where the
prisoners can be given employment
in. agriculture and various crafts TO
which they are adapted while
serving their sentences of less than
a year. 1t has been pointed out that
not only are the mountain people,
who are sentenced in illicit whiskey
cases often proficient in chair-mak-
ing, carpentry and other manual arts,
but they have been trained to voca-
tions as rule, the output of which
would not interfere with that of or
gained lehor, and would in fact con-
tribute to the manufacture of
necessary articles Of the home and
farm, as well as the business touse.
Again, under no circumstances
would the health Of the prisoners be-
come impaired.
1t is understood that the depart
ment Of justice has been giving the

a fruit tree.
The most important soil require
ment Of the strawberry is a constant
supply Of moisture, coupled with per-
feet drainage. The fruit is grown
under widely varying conditions. An
important change has come in recent
years in the handling Of the straw
berry field. It is common practice
for the plantation to stand at
least three years, but the up~to-date
planter now takes but one crop from
his field. 1t is planted in the early
spring, say March or April, in this
climate, given thorough cultivation
throughout the season. The crop Is
harvested the following May or early
June, and Immediately after harvest
the field is plowed under, and the
land planted at once to peas, soy
beans or any other crop that may be
grown during the season, or else
summer fallowed for small grain and
crimson clover crop in the fall. The
advantages of the one-crop plan are:
First, more uniform product; every
strawberry field gives its best fruit
the first year. Second, immunity
from disease and insect attacks. The
strawberry bud weevil can best be
controlled by blowing under the
plants after the first crop; also
such diseases as leafspot are less
prevalent where this plan is followed.
Third, the crop can be put in regu-
lar rotation that will not only main
tain the fertility of the land, but
will build up the soil more quickly
than can be done where the field is
devoted to the strawberry crop con-
tinuouly for two or more years.
Soils that would grow good gar
dens are fit places for strawberries.
They are light and open, with per-
feet drainage and full Of humus They
warm up early in the spring, hold
plenty of moisture (not too much)
in wet seasons and dry. Such soils
abound in Tennessee and one can
afford to be exacting in his choice
Of soil. This choice will mean much
in the end. it is easier to find the
proper place ready-made than it is
to make one.
Select one or two-year-old new
grounds that have not been fire
swept before clearing. Experienced
growers in East Tennessee prefer the
gray gravelly loans or the sandy
loans on the ridges. The rich loans
Of Middle Tennessee are well adapt
ed to the crop. In West Tennessee
silly loans are chosen.
There is mistaken popular mo-
ton that the strawberry is suit
able crop for land too poor to grow
corn profitably. Some even regard
it as a rest crop for improving the
soil. The thoughtful vegetable mat
ter with other crops before the
strawberry is set. Like pasture, it
is always easier to improve the soil
before the crop is put down than it
is afterward, because there are too
many lean years before the crop, by
it's own process, brings the soil to
profitable production. Get vege-
table matter before and not after the
crop is set, even though you have to
supply it in green manures.
Growers occasionally have turned
under clovers-red, crimson, Japan,
etc.-sorghum and small grain in
for the strawberry.
They find red clover unsuitable be-
cause it feeds the white grub, which

You notice compilations in the
spring. People who have plenty of
rich red blood have lips a deep, rosy
red, eyes bright and clear. Good
compilations are based on the solid
foundation of good blood and plenty
of red corpuscles. When blood be-
comes elogged with impurities, when
the red eorpuscles are not absorbing
enough oxygen from the lungs and
distributing it to the cells throughout
the body, good compilations fade. Not
only that, but you feel tired and ex-
hausted all the time. Your shoulders
droop and you lounge around and
lean against anything handy. You
lack energy because your blood is
weak and thin-not enough red cor

People call it "Spring Fever" Call
it what you will, it is bad blood. It
weakens the powers of resistance.
If you feel that way you should
take that exceptionally good blood

remains in the soil. as one Of the
worst enemies Of the strawberry
plant. The other crops are valu-
able in proportion to the amount
of growth that they make. Several
years ago Mr.. Charles Coleman, Of
Knoxville, reported a trial, in which
he planted sorghum in narrow rows,
cultivated and cut the crop early for
feed. The second growth was
plowed under when about two feet
high, using chain to put under the
rank growth. The following spring
Strawberries were set and gave a
remarkable yield, the profit for one
crop being $500 on a measured acre.
Rotate With Other Crops.
The strawberry as a money crop
should be grown in rotation, with
other farm crops. It fits well on
small fields on which crops for hogs
are grown when the land is not oc-
cupied by strawberries. Sow crimson
clover and rye in August, after
thoroughly working the land for
several weeks. Pasture it in winter
and turn it in spring for corn and
soy beans to be hogged off. Follow
with rye pasture; turn under in
spring for sorghum and soy beans
for hog pasture and hay; turn under
the second growth sorghum before
frost and set strawberries the next
spring. Alter one crop is harvested
turn under for crimson, clover and
rye, completing the rotation.
The experienced strawberry grow
er realizes that the crucial period in
the handling of his crop is the harv-
est time. If sufficinet labor can not
be had to harvest the crop in good
condition, heavy loss is sure to
follow. The beginner, therefore,
should avoid large paintings. 1t is
much safer to begin with a patch of
one acre or less, since there is much
in the strawberry business that can
only be learned by experience.
The above is true of the beginner,
yet the market demands can only be
met by regarding the carload as the
unit of shipment. The average car
holds 450 crates of "a quarts each,
and to produce this amount daily re-
quires an average area Of about rs
acres. Hence this acreage at least
should be available from every ship
ping point. There are a few growers
in Tennessee who plant as much as
100 acres in strawberries. These are
exceptional men, who possess an UNI
usual capacity for organization. BY
far the greater number of our grow
ers have less than five acres. Sue
cessful marketing in the latter case
requires cooperative shipping until
the business in the community has
reached development which attracts
buyers from the great trade centers.
Even then cooperative marketing
associations have their place, since
they are great stabilizing force in
the matter of price. In view Of this
it is highly desirable that prospective
planters in new centers of production
get together and insure a sufficient
acreage to provide for shipments in
carload lots. The time for express
has passed in the straw
berry business. The refrigerator car
and fast freight schedules provide a
better means for transportation. In
a strawberry district where, for any
reason the acreage has become so re-
duced that car lots can not be pro-
vided, the first efforts Of the grow

ers should be to increase their own
acreage OF to induce their neighbors
to plant small fields.
The bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture. in
cooperation. with the Division of
Extension. has become an important
aid to the farmer in the marketing
70 his strawberry crop. In all the
principal centers Of production the
bureau will provide special agents,
who will furnish daily quotations
during the crop period from all the
leading market centers. The farmers
are thus enabled to ship to the dis
tributing center which offers the
highest price on any day.
