RESULTS OF BOYS CORN
CLUB.

The results obtained in operating
Corn Clubs for 1911-12 indicates the
the Tallapoosa County Colored Boys
kind of Improvement which should
come to every farmers corn club.
Thirty-eight school boys, eighteen
years old and under, joined the corn
club in 1912. OF this number four
teen stayed in the contest to the
end. On fourteen acres of land an
aggregate of 636 bushels were pro
duced. The winner of the first
prize made 81 bushels, 90 lbs. of corn
to the acre. The second prize win
ner made 60 bushels, 2 lbs. to the
acre; and the third 6S bushels 6S lbs,
The prizes were, respectively, SO,
$40, and S. OF the $96 in prizes,
$40 were subscribed and paid by
white people.
The results of last years corn con-
test had some other good effects.
The corn club membership at once
increased to fifty boys, who we're
willing to pay a membership fee Of
so cents each towards buying their
their own prizes. The new members
are, as a rule q younger class of
boys The fathers and mothers
are intensely interested in the re-
suits obtained by their sons. The
best expression of the good effect of
this movement was made by ia
Their whose son made fifty bushels to
an acre but did not win a prize. He
said "My boy did not get a prize but
I will not have to do every year
year as I have had to do every year
before. "-Southern Workman.

INTENSIVE VS.. EXTENSIVE
FARMING.
BY Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner
of Agriculture.

BY Capt. T. F. Peck, Commissioner
of Agriculture.
There appears to be question in
the minds of some people as to
whether intensive or extensive farm
ing is better for the individual farm
err, the community and the country
at Large.
By intensive farming is meant TAX
ing few acres and by thorough
preparation and cultivation of soil
produce larger crops and more than
one crop per year on the same land.
By extensive farming is meant cul-
tivating a large number Of acres
with smaller working force, which
necessarily means less thorough
preparation of the soil and cultiva-
ton of crops and less of the truck
ing crops.
Many of the people of Tennessee
have been trying the extensive sys-
tenn with the result of washed and
rundown land, improbable crops,
with less reward for their labor each
succeeding year.
The experience of so many ought
to convince us that the extensive
system of farming in Tennessee is
not what we want.
By farming on the intensive plan
we are simply developing the soil to
nearer the extent of its possibili.
ty for development, and no system
of farming is going to succeed thai
does not plan to return plant food tc
the soil in some form to replace that
taken out in the growing Of crops
Now, think it would be better fol
the farmers of Tennessee to cultivate
fewer acres per laborer and cultivate
them better. with very few ex
captions. Comparatively speaking
we have been scratching the soil,
doing the things that would cause il
to lose more plant food from the
washing rains than from the crops
! grown on the land. This can be
prevented by deep blowing and turn
ing under vegetable matter and, n
doing that making available plant
food now lying dormant and un
available In the hardpan and subsoi
that should be available for growing
crops.
The truck farmer is generally
near some town or city where he can
buy barnyard manure to keep up the
supply of humus and plant food in
his soil. He naturally does not re
quire a large acreage.
The general farmer and live stock
raiser requires more land that he
may have pasture, meadows for hay
and fields for his corn, wheat, oats

wants. I want to say to the young
men of Nashville join us you will moi

CHANGE TO CONSTITUTION

DR.. T. L. Ballou was next intro
duced. He hoped that the expressions
lie activities In and out OF the state
Of delight upon the faces of the
brethren, together with their general
private remarks Of congratulations,
bespoke their future active and SYM
pathetic cooperation in the great
work of state missions.
Dr. w. S. Ellington said it was
just like DR.. Hurt to do the unusual
thing-a thing unique. He reminded
the brethren that the Superintendent
of Missions was of that class of he
foic men who have adopted the mot
to, 1--WE do things" He felt that the
host of the occasion had set the breth-
rem a good example of the brother
hood spirit.
The next speaker, Rev. r. w Chris
tan, felt deeply that DR.. Hurt is
among us "as one who serves" ex-
claiming that his fellowship spirit
was fully shown by the occasion.
Dr. R. H. Boyd congratulated the
brethren upon the beautiful spirit
that opened the new era in the mis-
sion work of the state. He assured
them in behalf of the National Bap-
fist Home Mission Board that the
Tennessee Baptist Convention would
have the same cooperation both in
spirit and finance that it has had in
the past.
DR.. A. M. Townsend, President oil
Roger Williams University, and Mrs
Mary Flowers, of the Fireside School
followed in brief congratulatory re
marks. DR.. and Mrs. Hurt made
happy and feeling responses.
The speeches over, Mrs. Hurt, assist
cd by Miss l.. U, Chambers, served

of the most pleasing courtesies OF
the part of one of our Convention of

1t is a mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning up.
Hundreds of people in this section have
discovered that Dodson's Liver Tone is
a thousand times better and safer and
it's action is just as sure. There are
none of the bad after-effects of Gallo
mel to Dodson's Liver Tone and no
danger of salvation.
For attacks of constipation or bill
iousness one or two spoonfuls of this
mild, pleasant tasting vegetable liquid
are enough and the Court Pharmacy
gives personal guarantee that every
bottle will do all that is claimed for it.
Money back in any case where it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only so
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are any num-
Der of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodsons Liver
Tone-and are in same color package.

and may be very harmful. Go to the

ALFALFA MOST VALUABLE CROP.
Per Acre Value Five Times More
Than Ciover-Some Wisconsin
Census Figures Which Talk
for Themselves.

According to the 1910 census of the
hay crop, the state of Wisconsin grew
$4,000 acres of alfalfa, which averaged
2.8 tons per acre for the entire state.
and the average acre value of the
crop was $1,000. During the same
year the combined acreage of timothy
and clover averaged 1.6 tons per acre,
valued at $14.00. II costs no more to
grow an acre of alfalfa than it does
to grow an acre of timothy or clover.
The average cost of growing an acre
OF clover or timothy is approximately
$1,000. Thus the farmer would clear
$500 per acre in growing these crops,
whereas if he grew alfalfa he would
make a profit of $21.OO per acre, or
