TO keep a boy between IA and
lG out a day or two for work is an
indictable otfense. The law says
he must be "actively and regularly
engaged in some useful employ
ment." TO keep one out because
he received whipping, will be
taken as. sufficient evidence that
the parent needs indicting without
further proof and should have the
limit of the law, unless the teacher
has so far exceeded his authority
that he is subject to indictment.
With discipline neglected, as it is
in some homes, the school is. the.
only chance for law-abidipg citi-
zenship.
How is the law being received?
Ehe people of old Benton, as they
have always done, are proving
themselves loyal, aw.abiding citi-
zens, and there are few cases of
wilful disobedience of law. Of
course, ere is the fellow with the
head of a" masculine COW" who has
to be "showed,' but bud, your

be-does not even know that he
hasn't the slightest jurisdiction
over a case under the compulsory
law.
Finally, lets be men, and each
parent try to give his child every
advantage he can. That's all the
compulsory law means.

parents will see to it that their boys

often do, the boys will get a good

TO. TENNESSEE FARMERS.
BY CAPT. T. r. PECK
StatevCommissone of Agriculture.
Some Reasons for DiSappOint-
ment in Corn Crops.

| have just been over field of
corn that is not going to make the
yield it should and would if it had
been given the right cultivation
throughout the cultivating season.
The man broke his land deep last
fall and followed the turning pillow
with the subsoil pillow. In the
spring he prepared good seed
bed and planted it well; he started
out we'll with his cultivation but
his wheat harvest came on and he
let the sprouts and weeds get well
established and they drew on his
available supply of plant food and
retarded the growth of the corn
with the result that his corn hes a
round instead of fiat stalk; has
light instead of dark green color.
He has started to clean it out but
the neglect will cut off from one
fourth, to one third of the yield per.
acre if it had been kept clean. He
can not realize that the loss he has
sustained is at least five time what
it would have cost to have kept it
clean.
So many farmers over crop or
slack off when the sun get hot and
the neglect at the time seriously
affects their yields. The success
full farmer is the one who pushes
his crop all the time instead of
letting his crop push him. It is
poor economy to do 80 per cent of
work on a crop and neglect 10 per
cent at a. critical time that will
cut the yield half in two. l have
seen many farmers do so. Ihave
also seen corn planted too thick
and neglected until the corn was
waist high, the extra stalks robbing
those remaining of just that pro-
portionate amount of plant food
Corn should be thinned just as
soon as danger of the cut worm is
past when it is six inches high
1t is better still, to be careful in
the selection of seed. Plant Just
as you want the corn to stand. The
occasional missing stalk does not
amount to as much loss as the
drain on the plant food where the
corn is planted too thick and al
lowed to stand too long without
thinning. 1t is poor economy for
a farmer to spend money for fer
tilizer to grow crop of corn, then
leave it standing too thick too long
or allow weeds and grass to grow
along with the corn and take up,
plant food intended for the corn.
The farmer should never under
take to cultivate more than he is
sure he can cultivate thoroughly
and when it needs it, and he should
know that anything allowed to
grow with his corn is taking away
justs much of plant food the corn
should have. Anything that is
worth doing at all is worth doing
we'll.
