PLANT CORN FOR HOGS


Not enough corn has yet been
planted for our home needs in this
territory, say E. R. Lloyd and G. w.
Watson, Of the Bureau Of Farm De-
velopment.
Barely so per cent. of the normal
crop has been planted up to date,
Farmers, in their eagerness to get
cotton planted early, neglected plant
ing corn in March and April. What
a calamity it would be if we should
make big cotton crop and then wake
to the realization Of the fact that our
cotton money may have to go for
buying corn and hay next year.
Corn planted in June should have
a thoroughly prepared seed bed, as
the June planting may encounter dry
weather, and thorough preparation il
an important factor in producing sat
isfactory yield.
In the first chapter of Genesis we
find Gods command after the sepa-
ration Of water from the land, which
was: "Let the drv land bring forth
grass" To insure ourselves of plenty
Of feed for next fall, winter and
spring, in the face of a probability
of shortage in corn acreage this year,
this territory still has time to plant
hay crops, such as soy beans, cow
peas, millett, sorghum, Sudan grass,
etc. While it is yet time for corn and
hay crops, and with the possibility
of having to pay enormous prices for
Northern corn and Western hay,
every farmer should at once take in
ventory and determine if he has acre
age in corn and hay crops sufficient
for his needs. This suggestion is only
sound business Judgment and com
mon sense and should appeal to
everyone interested in farming. Plant
during June the quick-maturing va
rieties, such as Tennessee Red Cob,

most of it will be planted.
Every few days we hear of some

ness. If other parts of Upton coun-
ty are engaging in the cream dairy
business like this, Upton county will
soon be one of the leading dairy coun-
ties of West Tennessee.

AUSTIN PEAY OPENS
CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNOR

Attributing the opposition to his
candidacy for the Democratic CUB
ernatorial nomination to the official
class, unless employees VINO practice
politics at the public expenee and Of
fieials whose departments are jam
med with politicians" Austin Peay,
of GAINESVILLE, opened his campaign
in Gallatin Saturday afternoon.
1T is said can not win in Novem-
ber," said the speaker. "Those do
not mean it who say it. Their fear
has always been that / would be
elected"
LET the Democratic party turn its
back on its mistakes OF the past,
he continued, and sets its face to
the future with a stern determination
to rid our people Of unjust assess
ments and high taxes, and to wipe
out the infamous back tax system,
and to establish justice, hnesty and
economy in the state capitol from
dome to cellar, and let it nominate a
candidate for governor with the will
and courage to execute these reforms,
and you will see it sweep like an ava
lanche into power in Tennessee"
Among the items in his platform
receiving especial attention from MIR.
Peay were the assessment of real es-
tate. He reiterated opposition to
assessing land at full valuation, and
he promised to eliminate at least
81 100000 of this tax. The sliding
scale method of fixing the tax rate
should be discarded. The present
tax department he termed Of no
value to the state. Personally could
be reached by legislation providing
that assessors value such property on
a basis not to exceed a given per
cent. of its income, while non-pro-
ductive personally might be wholly
overlooked. He favored the prompt
reorganization of the highway de-
partment. cit is too much in poll
tics to build any roads this year.
The speaker claimed to be feeling the
whole force of the department in his
campaign.

INFRINGEMENT

That retrenchment in the operating
expenses of national, state, county
and municipal governments is de-
manded by overburdened taxpayers
can no longer be denied.
The demand does not come from the
tax dodger, either, but rather from
the patriotic citizen, who heretofore
has not been heard to complain But
the yoke is chatting and galding and
relief must be afforded through our
Lawmakers.
Hon. L. E. Gwinn, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
in a speech at Union City recently,
stated that today it is costing some
thing like five million Of dollars an
nually to run Tennessee. This is an
indictment against our lawmakers,
if true. Gwinn points out that so
many places have been created in Ten
nessee for politicians that now their
offices are scattered all over the city
of Nashville, the state house being
wholly Inadequate to accommodate
them and their assistants" Every
time there is new office created an
appropriation is made for the employ
ment of clerks, stenographers, porters
and so on-all at the expense Of the
taxpayers.
These conditions can no longer con-
tinue. Ta1burdened citizens will not
submit to them, and Mr.. Gwinn pro-
poses the consolidation Of numbers
and numbers of these offices. He
might go further and wholly abolish
a great many Of the others without
Gripping the states efficiency.
Once we get the state righted, there
it will be an easy matter to adjust
county and municipal affairs. But
some retrenchment must be resorted
to if we ever do anything. Citizens
must be content to live within their
own means and willing for the state,
county and municipal governments
to do the same-Dresden Enterprise.

MONEY SUPPLY ABUNDANT

Eugene Meyer, managing director
of the War Finance Corporation, who
addressed a meeting of the Tennessee
Farm Loan Agency held in Chatta
nooga the latter part of last week,
made the following statement:
Agricultural, commercial, indus
trial and financial conditions are
showing marked improvement. | am
looking for continued Improvement
in general business conditions.
Enhancing of legitimate business
enterprises is becoming easier and
rates are becoming more favorable
to the borrower. From an agricul-
tural point Of view the season is
starting quite favorably. There has
been ample moisture and if any
trouble has been experienced it is
that farmers are late in planting in
some sections. Of course, in the
flooded sections damage has been
done"
The committee is composed Of
Thomas R. Preston, chairman; Walter
A. Sadd, ]. P. Hoskins, all of Chatta-
nooga; D. M. Armstrong, Memphis;
Peter Fyfe, Covington; V. j. AIexan-
der, Nashville; w. s. Shields, Knox
vile, and Capt. T. A. Embrey, Win
chester.
AS the financial pressure has been
relieved, farm products have adj
vanced during the last year, Mr.
Never declared. AS an illustration
corn has advanced 100 per cent, cot
ton 100 per cent, cattle 80 per cent,
sheep 100 per cent, wheat % per
cent. Under the present law the fl
nance corporation is to cease to func-
ton on July /, but the present indica-
tons are that Congress will extend
the time for a year, Mr.. Meyer stated
in conclusion.

nooga Saturday, after the meeting Of
the Tennessee agency had adjourned

CROP CONDITIONS THIS WEEK


The first day Of June finds the
crops in Upton county in fairly
satisfactory condition, despite the
excessive rains of the past few days.
Cotton is small, but is up to a good
stand and cultivation is well under
way. Much Of it has been scraped
and hoed out, but lot Of it has not
been plowed A small percentage of
it has not been worked at all and is
getting grassy. The people, however,
are working hard and seem to have
the situation well in hand
Corn, too, is small, and the acreage
planted is less than usual at this
season. Patches of half knee-high
corn are seen here and there along
the roads, but the bottoms have
not been planted as yet, and it gives
one who, is interested an anxious feel
ing to see that so much Of the corn
crop is to be late.
We have practically no wheat and
oats, but the hay crops are looking
well.
Gardens are fine, and all in all, the
prospects may be said to be encourag-
ino
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-06-01

A rather observing man, who gets
about over the county quite a good
deal, and who likes to look at the
crops, was in the Leader office one
day recently and remarked that the
sentiment against keeping the fence
rows trimmed off goes by commune
ties and is stronger in some than in
others. He believes that the senti-
ment is growing, as well as the
bushes, briars, etc, along the fence
rows. He thinks both bushes and
sentiment will be unanimous soon. He
refused, however, to say which COM
munity west of Munford he thought
was leading the county.

Charles NJ Schwab says; "Inso-
far as our people in America are pre-
pared to go to work at reasonable
wages, insofar as we are prepared
quickly to abandon the artificial ex-
travagances of the war, will we lay
the foundations for a new prosperity
such as we have never enjoyed be-
fore. This is the route through
which not merely America, but the
peoples 8of our allies can find their
way out, and triumph in peace as
they did in war" Can you crowd
more truth in as few words?

IF THE BOIL wEEvIL GETS US

II is not at all sure that this ca
lamity will befall US. Neither can
we say that it is certain that it will
not.
In an effort totget out Of debt our
people have planted rather large
acreage in cotton and are hoping that
the weevil, which is somewhat freak
ish in his destructive work, will miss
Us this year. There is no question
about our having had a sufficient
number Of weevils last year to give
US a destructive supply this year,
and our greatest hope lies in the fact
that the pest comes and goes very
unexpectedly and without any appar-
ent reason.
If the weevils should destroy our
cotton crop in Upton county this
year there is no doubt but most Of
our people would be in bad way
Farmers, financiers, business and
professional men would all be in the
same boat. But if this thing hap
pens to us we are of the opinion
that our people are better prepared
for the shock than the people in some
sections have been. Where the
weevil first invaded certain counties
in Mississippi, where the people had
been depending entirely on cotton,
we ares told that the people were so
poorly prepared for it's coming and
SO much at loss as to how to proceed
that conditions were serious and de-
plorable. The farm bureau people of
Memphis took some farm experts and
visited the sections with the idea of
being helpful if possible, but the peo-
pie were 50 stunned by the calamity
that they would hardly attend
meeting, and conferences had to be
held on store porches and anywhere
that the people could be found
Now, we do not think that anything
like that would happen to our peo-
pie, because our county is more nearly
self-supporting. Our people will
have corn, meat, hay, milk and but
ter, vegetables, ETC., and will be able
in a large measure to live at home.
OF course, there are a few things
that ought not to be overlooked as
measures of precaution in case the
worst happens.
There is the late garden, the tur-
nip patch, the sorghum, the late
corn, peas and soy beans, home-can-
ming and preserving, poultry and last,
but by no means, least, the dairy
cow. Sweet potatoes, late-crop Irish
potatoes and winter pastures will
come in for due consideration.
Cotton is a good money crop, and
when grown in proper cropping
system is perhaps the best money
crop grown in the country, but if we
have to we can live without it.
If we push the cultivation Of the
cotton crop to the best of our ability
and prepare to live at home and
make the farm as near self-support-
ing as possible we will have done our
best and can wait for the weevils to
do their worst.
