The Local Custom

In Maryville if a friend we'd greet,
We ask him to the middle of the street;
There, we visit, dodging forth and back
Keeping out of the way of teams and hack
If some confidence we wish to bestow,
It's to the middle of the street we 90.
There undismayed by auto or team,
You can say what you wish. and not seem
To b0 discussing either this or that,
But simply talking through our hat.

When you wish to speak as man to m an.
Better take to the middle of the road,
And there you can your mind unload.
Throw off your burdens upon your friend
And of all troubles make an end.
Then if you sell insurance for your biz,
And good prospect you want to quiz,
Just buttOn-hole your man discreet
And take him to the middle of the street.
There you may, undisturbed, say what you
can,
With no interference from the other man.
You can get him to take thousand on his
life,
For when he is dead just to leave to his
wife.
If it's real.estate in which you deal,
And you have a customer, real
Just lead him out to that middle ground,
IT'S the safest place that can be found.
Its dangerous to let the other fellow see
That you have customer, perhaps, maybe,
For he'll get hold Of him, you beat

Holston Conference.
Dear Mr.. Editor

u OF MaryVllle and Blount ColntV
! that the 10th Session Of Holstor
+ Annual Conference Of the Methods
Episcopal Church, will be held il
MarVville M. E. Church, beginning
October Is, 1918.
This will be the fourth visit of tn {
r Holston Conference to Maryville.
2 The previous sessions held here were
In the years as follows: 1881,
president Bishop Andrews; 1893,
president. Bishop Merrill; 1902,
president, Bishop Walden.
At this coming session Bishop T.
5. Henderson of Chattanooga Tenn.
will be the president of the confer
ence. Bishop Henderson also pre-
sided at the conference held last
year.
No doubt it will interest Maryville
citizens generally, to know some
thing of the geographical boundaries
the details of the business, and the
number Of the present makeup of
the Holston Conference.
The geographical limits of the
Conference, are from Roanoke, Vir-
ginia, on the northeast, to Chatta-
nooga, on the south west; and from
the Great Smoky Mountains on the
south and southeast, to the Cum
berland Range on the north and
north west.
This territory includes the 81
counties of East Tennessee, and the
counties of Southwest Virginia.
In all this mountain and valley
territory, there is probably a popu-
lation of from 100000 to 100000
souls,
According to last years statistics,
the Methodist Episcopal Church has
over $4,000 membersi in this territory ]
with about $2000000 invested in
churches, parsonages and educa-
ional institutions.
In planning for the er tertain-
nent of the Conference this year, y
We are expecting to have to prepare
ccommodations tor from $50 to
100 persons. There will probably f
'e present, $50 pastors and official "
visitors, and from rs to
% laymen who come for the yearly Il
amens meeting with the Conference. o,
The sessions of the Conference
sually continue from Wednesday
until the following Monday i0
The business sessions are held
uring tae morning houls, and the r.
fternoon and evening sessions are hs
ken up with insrirational and
istorical addresses and appeals for a.
le various benevolent and educa-
onal interests of the church.
The sessions and various meet ="
gs Of the Conference are always ~
zen to the general public, with
e possible exception of executive Su
,sions which do not occur often. Nj
The religious meetings of the con-
'ence are usually popular and Mr.
lpful. Each year we usually

Cobb Explains Loss
in Raising of Corn

Why one farmer was losing 51.9
bushels of corn to the acre and others
almost as large amounts, is being eX-
planned by County Agent Cobb to
school children, many of whom were
girls who are taking the agricultural
courses in the township schools. The
pupils were taken into the corn fields
and the practical side of the causes
of the loss of corn, the failure of corn
seed to grow were shown
Each pupil taking the agricultural
course at the school was taken into
the cornfield nearest the school. In
one corn field So boys searched for
thirty minutes for ears suitable for
seed corn and orly 5 good ears were
obtained. This, Mr.. Cobb said, was the
average for unimprOved corn, cOmpar-
ed with a record of twenty ears to an
acre and a half of improved and cul-
tivated corn which the county agent
raised at his home near Aurora. He
said the twenty ears were suitable for
seed corn and for exhibition in corn
shows.
Only one ear suitable for exhibition
in corn shows was found during the
two days and this was not a perfect
ear.
Seed Selection Poor.
MIR. Cobb found many small and de-
formed ears and many types which he
examined showed tendency to re-
vert back to a type which is uncultl-
waited. This is due, he said, to the use
of the same corn for planting each
year, no selection of seed ears, and
poor planting and cultivation.
1t was found that the average num-
Der of empty hills or missing stocks,
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-10-10

that is placed where corn stocks
should have been placed is 1850 to
the acre, which, if they had grown,
would have yielded the farmer 264
bushels of corn. On another farm, he
found the loss from this source was
365 bushels to the acre and another
field showed a loss of u bushels to
the acre because of missing stocks
which poor planting caused.
In the same field in which the loss
from missing stocks was 36.5 bushels,
he found an additional loss of 15.4
bushels per acre from barren stock.
This made loss of $40 bushels of
corn an acre to the planter, because
the seed corn was not selected prop
erly and the corn was not planted as
it should have been. The average yield
for the county is 80 bushels to the
acre.
Should Increase Yield.
q pointed out to the pupils that
if the average corn yield per acre
in the county was increased from SO
bushels to fifty bushels, it would make
a difference of 100000 bushels and an
approximate money difference of $125,-
600 in favor of the planter" said Mr..
Cobb.
Meetings were held today on the
farm of O. Fl. Scantland, near Will
liamsburg. A number of farmers were
present and a marked interest was
shown in the seed corn discussion.
A demonstration of deep tilling
machine is being made today on the
Easthaven farm of which D. w. Scott
is the supervisor. The demonstration
will be made by the agent for the
deep tilling machines.

OFFICER INSPECTS
SCHOOL CONDITIONS
DR.. King Finds Ventilation
and Lighting Poor in
Some Rooms.

DR. J. e. King, county health officer,
is making a thorough inspection of all
the schools in the county to ascertain
conditions governing ventilation, light
ing, and whether or not the rooms are
crowded. Since tie beginning of the
school year DR.. King has inspected
119 schools Only eight more remain
to be visited.
Few OF the. buildings are crowded
and conditions generally are good, DR..
King reports. In the Easthaven avenue
school which was inspected Wednes-
day one of the rooms was slightly
crowded. There were fifty-fiye pupils.
When the dimensions of the room
were figured this gave sixteen square
feet Of floor space to each pupil and
219~ cubic feet. In the other room
with forty-five pupils there were TWEEN
ty square feet and 26S cubic feet.
The ideal conditions which are re-
quired in all the modern schools are
fifteen feet of floor space and 225 Gu
bic feet for each pupil.
At the Sevastopol school DR. King
says the light is probably the worst
in, the county. the heavy foliage of
shade trees cutting out much of it. Ac-
cording to DR.. King the policy seems
to be Ito save the trees and ruin the
children's eye sight"
DIR. King was the first person in the
United States to inspect the schools
on this basis, his first inspection being
made in 1908. He did not learn this I'M
til informed by physicians and inspec-
tors at the National Congress of
School Hygiene. which was held in
Buffalo New York. recently
