One of the most successful apple
growers among the small orchardists is
Mr. O. Joseph, whose orchard is located
on one of the small hills east of Mis
sionary Ridge, near Chattanooga. Mr.
Joseph came here from Germany many
years ago. Even to this day farmers
acquainted in this section will insist in
preaching the impossibility of growing
apples of commercial importance in
this section. But Mr. Joseph’s achieve
ments in apple growing speak the
truth.
Mr. Joseph’s orchard consists of 300
trees, twenty-four years old. Of the
early varieties grown, the Red Astra-
chan he regards- as the most profitable.
The main objection to the yellow trans
parent is the objection generally against
it for the reason it is too susceptible
to blight. The Early Harvest is a good
early variety, but Mr. Joseph regards
it as expensive, as it requires from 12
to 15 years to bring it to a good pro
ductive age. Too, Mr. Joseph says he
finds it difficult to get a regular crop
after the Early Harvest reaches bear
ing age, but when it bears, it is a
money maker.
Of the fall varieties, Mr. Joseph finds
the Russets, Winesaps, Ranibos and
Buckinghams the most profitable. The
greatest objection to the Buckingham
is that it is a shy bearer, but the fruit
is large, of fine quality and brings a
good price on the local market.
* ‘ But is it true, that apples are very
uncertain at your altitude?” Mr.
Joseph was asked.
“My orchard has failed but once in
ten years,” was Mr. Joseph’s reply,
accompanied with a smile. This record
is an excellent one and no better re
commendation could be given this local
ity for growing apples.
‘ ‘ What is your best and most -de
pendable variety?” Mr. Joseph was
again asked.
“All of the varieties mentioned
above are profitable, but I believe the
Russets are my best croppers.” ,
The year 1913 was an off year, and
the protracted early spring drouth
which displays its influence in making
small apples, did not ruin Mr. Joseph’s
crop. His apples were of a good market
able size and from 120 trees he market
ed 500 bushels. The best brought him
$1.50 per bushel and his seconds 75c
at his farm.
Mr. Joseph’s best trees yield 14
bushels per tree. Such a tree in one
season would bring its owner $21, pro
vided the fruit was of the first grade.
Mr. Joseph has experimented for years
with many varieties and as soon as he
finds an unprofitable tree in his orchard
he does not chop it down, but dehorns
the limbs and top works to Russets,
Buckinghams or Rambos. Inside of
three years he has thus converted the
old worthless tree into a very profit
ably one. In top-working a tree, how
ever, he takes about two years to do it.
The first year, about two-thirds of the
limbs are worked, and the remainder
top-worked the second year.
But Mr. Joseph has learned what all
successful growers have discovered, and
that is it is useless to try to raise first-
class fruit without the liberal use of
the spray pump.
Three times each season Mr. Joseph
sprays his trees, the first just before the
calyx closes for codling moth and then
ten days later. Uses lime sulphur with
1 to 2 pounds arsenate of lead added
to each 50 gallons of spray mixture.
Mr. Joseph’s orchard is sowed in fall
■to crjmson clover and rye for winter
cover crop; this is turned under in
May and then sowed either to cow peas
or soy beans. When these are harvest
ed, the stubble is turned under and the
orchard again sowed to some winter
coyer cTop. Mr.' Joseph’s orchard is
located at an altitude of about 600
feet, on east side of hill; soil gravelly,
well drained, and by careful cultiva
tion as above the soil is abundantly
supplied with humus. Mr. Joseph’s or
chard is a model and he is demonstrat
ing the possibility of apple growing
in a locality where such crops are re
garded as unsuccessful.
In a mile and a half from- Mr.
Joseph’s orchard is located the large
apple orchard of Mr. Prosper Lazard,
which consists of ten thousand trees,
ranging from 5 to 9 years old. Mr.
Lazard’s trees show a very healthy ap
pearance, the bark being very smooth
and sleek. Be has also 1,200 fine bear
ing Keiffer pear trees.

Calomel May
Hurt Your Liver
Every time you take this powerful
drug you are in danger. Take Dod
son’s Liver Tone instead. Calomel, is
made from mercury, and while mer
cury has many valuable uses, it is a
dangerous thing to swallow. If calo
mel stays in the system very long it
salivates. Even when it works natur
ally, its after-effects are often bad.
Fincher & Nichols will sell you
Dodson’s Liver Tone, which is posi
tively guaranteed to take the place of
calomel. Liver Tone stimulates the
liver just enough to start it working,
and does not make you sicker than
ever—as calomel often does. You feel
good after taking Dodson’s and it
won’t force you to stop eating oi
working after taking it. It if .as ben
eficial for children as for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents
under the guarantee that your money
will be given back cheerfully if you’re
not satisfied.—Adv.
This bread may be made up just
after the noon meal in cool weather,
but in hot weather late in the after
noon is a better time.
Take a little less than a half-gallon
of warm water and after wetting meal
stir into the water and make a mush
as thick as will stir. Put in a little
salt. Thin with cold water then mhke
stiff with raw meal. Set in warm place
to rise during the night-
The next morning if you wish to
make flour light bread, take out a
half teacup full of "the batter. Then
stir in a double hand full of flour, two
tablespoons sorghum, one level tea
spoon soda. Put in oven and hake.

Who Can Doubt Sworn Testimony of
Honest Citizens.
Some time ago I began the use of
your Swamp-Root with the most re
markable results. For years I was al
most a wreck and was a great sufferer.
The doctors who treated me made^me
believe that my great sufferings were
due to female trouble. I was so bad at
times I would faint away and had
sinking spells. Finally a new doctor
was called in and he said that I had
kindney trouble and gave me medieine,
of which I took several bottles- I
obtained some relief from this, but I
was getting weaker all the time; I
could not sleep and suffered so much
pain that my husband and children had
to lift me out of bed. After this, two
friends sent me word to try Swamp-
Root, which I did, and' I am glad to
state that the first dose gave me great
relief. After taking the third dose I
was helped into bed and slept half of
the night.
I took several bottles of Swamp-Root
and I feel that I owe my life to this
wonderful remedy. The two family
doctors said that I could not live three
months. I would have to be helped in
and out of bed ten to twenty times
evety night. After taking Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root for two days I was en
tirely free from getting up and could
sleep soundly.

Coahulla Drainage
(Continued from page 1.)
interstream area is generally a shallow,
sandy loam soil with a red clay subsoil.
Many flats or swales were noted adja
cent to the roads traveled, which could
be greatly improved by under-drainage.
Rainfall and Run-Off.
No definite data are obtainable re
garding precipitation in this watershed
though it is said that precipitations of
2 inches in from 6 to 24 hours are not
uncommon during the winter months, a
few such rains occurring during the
summer. Rainfalls of 3 and 4 inches
in 24 hours occur occasionally. The
percentage of run-off to rainfall varies
during the year, depending upon the
season, the condition of the cleared and
cultivated lands of the interstream area
and the amount of water in the soil at
the time of the heavy ir.ccipitations. It
is thought that improvements based
upon a %-inch run-off in 24 hours for
the entire watershed will give the wet
valley lands along Coahulla creek much
relief, and' that there -will be but few
overflows that will damage the lands
or crops along the creek if improved
on this basis. Slight overflows that
will deposit a sandy silt washed from
the adjoining hills will, it is believed,
be beneficial to the type of soil found
in the valley lands, since these deposits
will tend to open np the soil, and make
it more susceptible to drainage.
Natural Drainage.
Coahulla creek is the outlet for all
drainage within the district. This
stream varies in width from about 35
feet at Anderson bridge to about 60 or
75 feet at Maddox mill and bridge. Its
depth varies from 2.5 feet to 8 feet.
Neither the width, nor the depth in
creases regularly from the upper end
to the outlet, for in places near the
upper end the maximum width and
depth may be found, while near the
lower end the minimum dimension^
occur in spots. This change of *width
and depth is due, among other causes,
to the condition of the soil through
which the stream flows, obstructions in
the channel, and the very abrupt angles
in the stream, these angles sometimes
being as great as 90 degrees. However,
as a general rule, the channel has a
fairly good regimen as to width and
depth, the latter being generally from
4 to 6 feet." Logs and debris have ac
cumulated in the bends at many places
along the stream, while trees have caved
in from -the banks and practically
dammed the channel. It is not thought
that the slope to the valley will be
found to average over 6 feet per mile.
There are at present two mill dams on
the creek, one being at Prater’s mill,
and the other at Maddox mill. Both of
these tend to check the velocity of the
current and thus to cause the stream
to deposit sediment in its channel.
Improvements Required.
To effect complete reclamation, the
construction of a channel varying in
width from about 30 feet at the upper
end to about 60 feet at the lower end,
and having an average depth of about
8 to 9 feet, would be required. Con
sidering the cost of such a ditch, com
pared to the acreage involved, the agri
cultural value of the land after reclama
tion, the percentage of the wet and
overflowed lands now in forest, and
what would appear to be the general
attitude of the people towards making
any improvement, it is improbable that
improvements of this magnitude can he
successfully carried out at this time.
Under the circumstances the following
suggestions are offered: That the pres
ent channel be cleared of all logs, de
bris, overhanging trees, and trees fallen
into the channel by caving banks: and
that some of the more abrupt bends
cut off. It is believed that this work
can be done at a cost of about rl.OM
per mile, and that many of the damag
ing overflows can thereby be prevented.
It does not seem that the district can
afford very heavy expenditure on i-he
channel, as after its improvement muth
interior drainage would be necessary in
order to derive the full benefit from the
wo{k. Most of this auxiliary wor ' t
should be in the nature of underdrain
age.
It is thought that with an
ture of from $5 to $10 per acre
xpendi-
much
the
mde to
benefit can be had by following
general plan outlined in this repoit.
The Survey.
Before any improvements an
tempted, a survey should be mad ^
determine, first, the area of wet an
overflowed land, this to include mu
only the creek bottoms proper, but sue
tributaries .back as far as lands are a
fected by the present condition or
creek channel; second, the meande.s
the present channel and such impro^
ments as are necessary; third,
amount of land each owner possess
which will be benefited.
