BOOST IN FARM
INCOME LIKELY
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
PUTS 1913 FIGURE AT
TEN BILLION

The United States department Of
agriculture estimates farm income Of
the nation next year viii be from
$4,000, 100000 TO si0,500. 10000 COM
pared with the estimated record in
come Of 9,8OO. 100000 for this year.
The estimate for this year places
farm income about 81 900 900 900
greater than the previous record in
1919.
Farmers in 1913 probably will pro-
duce more livestock but crop produc-
ton may be smaller than the record
output Of this year unless weather
conditions again are exceptionally ia
vorable," the department said.
Crop acreage In 1e43 should be at
least as large as In 1912 but war de-
mands and need to conserve trans
portation, labor and production sup
plies viii bring about many shifts
from crops Of low utility TO crops OF
higher utility" the department said.
Military and lend-lease buying Of
food in l943 is expected 70 be so per
cent greater than this year. taking
one-fifth OF the agriculture produc-
ton. Civilian demand also is expected
to increase, though more slowly than
this year.
The department expects prices
under the ceilings now on them TO re-
main close to present levels. which
are about percent above the average
for the entire year Of 1871.

niture. 1t is estimated that the

SMALL CHILD is
BITTEN BY SNAKE

Sugar Rationing Benefits South
of CumberlandS
Shirley, 7-year-old daughter
of Aubrey Hayes, of near Os-
borne Gap, was bitten by small
copperhead snake Thursday but
has about recovered at this time
as she was given treatment at
once. First aid, of coal oil and
turpentine was given as soon as
it was known the child had been
bitten and then she was taken to
the jenkins hospital. The snake
was only about inches long but
was just as poisonous as a larg-
er one, according to Tollie Boyd,
who reported the incident.
Mr.. Boyd further stated that
sugar rationing was proving the
saving grace of the South of
Cumberland, as far as boozing
was concerned No sugar, no
whiskey, and less drunkenness.
He reports that his section is the
quietest it has been since he has
lived there.

REPRESENTATIVE FROM
HEADQUARTERS U.M.W.A.
ARRIVES IN COUNTY

Walter N. Polakov, the en-
gineer" from national headquar-
tiers of the United Mine Workers
of America, is now in Dickinson
County. Mr.. Polakov visited
with us briefly today and inform
ed us that he was in the county
to see the members of the local
union Of United Mine Workers
cast 100 per cent vote on Aug.
18th for this national organiza-
ton as the sole bargaining agent
with the Clinchfield Coal Corp
Grafton. The National Labor Re-
lations Board in recent decis-
ion has already ordered out of
existence the ClinchfieId En-
ployees' Association. According
to Polakov, the question now be-
fore the miners for decision is
whether the employees of the
Clinchfield Coal Corporation will
be without any protection or be
represented by the body which
has successfully represented the
interests of over six hundred
thousand miners in this country
for over So years.
When asked what would be
the consequences if the election
is not carried out successfully,
PolakoV said, "It would be like
losing the war. It would mean
that the people of this county
do not believe in democratic rule
and are willing to submit to the
dictatorship of the company
Business men of the county,
he said, SHOULD also be vitality
interested in the success of the
election, since there will be at
least one hundred thousand dol
lars more spent in the county by
better paid miners. The miners
themselves will get not only
higher standard of living and
better working hours, but will
be protected by a grievance com
mittee against any form of dis
elimination"

SHIPMENT
OF COONS RELEASED

Seven raccoons were received
from South Carolina this week
for release in the county and
they were liberated on national
forest land in Cumberland Noun
tain.
Two of the 'coons were kittens,
probably q month old, and the
mother coon was included in
the shipment.
This makes fifteen received
for release in the county within
the last two weeks. It will be re
called that five of the first ship
ment escaped from the box in
which they were enclosed and
made their escape out of the
station at Fremont through a
broken window. No trace of them
has been found and it is suppos-
ed that they are somewhere in
the hills around Fremont.

Flanagan Will
Have Opposition
In Fall Election

The stage was set for a candi-
date to oppose John w. Flanna-
gan for Congress this fall when
a number of 9th District Repub-
lican leaders met at Bristol las
Friday and issued call for
convention, to be held at Bristol
August %, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for Con-
gress.
Newspaper reports say that
Scott, Smyth, Russell and Wash
ington counties and the city Of
Bristol were represented in per-
son, while the remaining coun-
ties were represented by proxy,
The meeting voted unanimously
to place candidate in the field.
This meeting followed several
months of indecision after meet
ing in March that decided to
take no immediate action, but
weigh and watch future devel-
opments and nominate a candi-
date later if deemed advisable.
A highlight of the proceeding
was the announcement that Re-
publicans of Dickinson county
had advised that they were in
terested in placing a Republican
candidate in the field, but that
they would not be interested in
an independent aspirant for Con
gress.
The general opinion, according
to report, is that Colonel Cary
Ingram Crockett, retired U. S.
army officer, of Smyth county,
will be the nominee of the con-
vention.
Because of the general under
standing last spring that Con-
gresham Flanagan would be
unopposed,' no effort was made
by either political party to quail
ify the vote and as a result
probably less than half the vote
in the district is qualified In
Dickinson probably little more
than one-third the normal vote
is qualified.

Scarcity Of
Teachers Felt
In Dickinson

At the meeting of the school
board here today, several dele
cations of persons from various
sections appeared with several
requests of school bus transpor-
t.tion extensions and new routes
and the establishment of GER
tain schools.
Requests by former patrons of
the Flint Gap, Pine Grove and
Ramsey schools for the reestab-
lishment were not allowed by
the board due to the scarcity of
teachers for schools already
established and the added costs
of furnishing buildings and adj
ding additional teachers, if pos
sible.
The Pilot Knob school was
eliminated at a previous meeting
due to the decrease in enrolment
and was combined with the Big
Oak school. Fletcher Childress

and also transport the high
school pupils from these school

Administration in improving the
road leading up Pine Creek and
the construction Of two or three

for a dozen children or more to
reach the Bearpen school during
the winter.
An additional teacher was al
lowed for the Clinchco high if
school officials find it possible to
secure an additional teacher at
this time. A request for transpor
tation of school pupils from
Squirrel Camp, Steinman and
Mill Creek to Clinchco school
was not allowed by the board.
However, interested citizens, it
is thought, will be able to solve
this problem by dealing private
ly with one or more teachers who
drive to this school daily.
The superintendent reports a
total of about ten teachers are
needed at various places in the
county. About half of these po-
sitions still vacant can only be
filled by teachers with special
training. -
