A curious custom connected with the
Servian army is the manner In which
most of the regiments carry the big
drum. 1t Is not, as in most countries,
slung in front Of the man who plays It,
but is placed upon u small two wheeled
cart drawn by large dog. which has
been so trained that it keeps its place
even through the longest and most
tedious marches, The drummer takes
up a position behind the cart and per-
forms on the instrument as il moves
along.

BOYS TAKE UP
CORN CLUB WORK
CONTINUED from Page y

(Cont1nued from Rage
Miller discussed before the boys
the proper methods which should
be used in cultiyating corn and
especially in preparation for the
one-acre experiment. He pointed
out the fact that water is the es-
sential factor in corn production
and showed the boys how it is
possible to store up moisture in
the soil during the winter and
how to conserve it during the
growing season, by frequent shall
low civilizations. The boys should
break their land, deeply, as early
as possible in the fall or winter,
as possible so that they may catch
the winter rain. Mr.. Miller show
ed that the soil should be supplied
with manure to increase the poro-
sity of the soil. He outlined the
time and method of planting and
pointed out a number of good
fertilizers. Mr.. Miller or some
other authority on corn club
work will meet with these boys
from time to time and will give
them further necessary instruc-
lions. The next meeting, for study
especially, will be held at each
of the above named schools on
Tuesday, Dec. 2.
Superintendent McMahan ex-
planned the contest offered by a
local bank and spoke of what an
honor it would be for some boy to
get eight or ten weeks Of the best
of free schooling in the Agricul-
ture Department Of the University
of Tennessee. Now boys, just
think, this and about hundred
other prizes. Join the contest,
get the experience and earn some
money. Your fathers and your
farmer friends will help you.
Your teachers will also help you
and you can get any information
you desire from the U. S. Depart
ment, and from the State Depart
ment.
