Savagery Up T o-Date.

Formerly men were divided into en-
lightened, civilized, barbarous and say.
age classes. Nowadays great nations
combine the characteristics of the foul
classes.
Naked American Indians killed women
and children and rated as savages. A
German air raid results in the murder
of children and women in an English
town and an official bulletin boasts OF
an achievement that is limited, pretty
nearly, to that kind of murder. Civil
lied and enlightened, yet proud of acts
which would have delighted the soul of
a raiding Sioux or Apache in the period
of border warfare, modern warriors pre-
sent spectacle somewhat discouraging
to students of the progress of the hui.
man race.
The Baltimore Sun makes the point
that although civilians are punished
severely if they make war upon the
armed forces of an enemy, aerial SOL
diers may attack women and children
without loss of military honor" The
Sun is officially lacking in the spirit of
uncritical neutrality to say that, so far
as the world has learned, the Allies
have confined their air attacks to forti-
fled towns and armament depots, while
the Germans have thrown bombs indis-
into unfortifed towns. Be
that as it may, civilization and enlight-
eminent have much for which to answer
when any nation considers the wanton
destruction of the life and property of
non-combatants, without a sufficient
military purpose, warrantable feature
Of warfare.

Strawberry Industry.

Mr.. Ed Dietziel, chairman of the
strawberry committee of the Bust
ness Mems Club, and who is vitality
interested in the culture in Obion
County, calls attention to the fact
that he is now arranging to secure
plants for those who anticipate the
cultivation of strawberries, or who
want to make an experiment in the
culture. Mr.. Dietzel wants us to an
nounce that plants for the present
crop can be secured for $1.75 per
thousand. This is the Klondike va
riety and should be set out 1000 to
the acre. The ground should be
prepared before hand and plants
should be put out the first of March.
Therefore there is not much time to
lose if you want plants. The order
should be placed with Mr.. Dietzel so
that he can supply everybody in
time for planting.

Improving the Corn Yield.

Edward Gallrein, Jefferson
County boy, IA years old. won the
Boys Corn Club championship fol
1914. He raised 144 bushels OF
corn on an acre of ground at Valley
Station at a cost of IA cents a
bushel.
Other good records were made by
boys who belonged to the Jefferson
County Corn Club. A 1S-year-oli
boy at Crestwood produced III
bushels on an acre of poor hill land
at cost of 16 cents a bushel. A
Seatonville boy of the same age grew
ninety bushels at a cost of II cents
a bushel and a 12-yer-old hoy at
Valley Station made a record OF los
bushels at an expense of II cents a
bushel.
Young Gallrein. who made the
best record in the jefferson County
Corn Club, also made the highest
yield of corn at the lowest cost pei
bushel in the State. Ten ears Of
corn sent by him to the State Corn
Show won the grand sweepstakes
in the adult and boys classes, q
notable distinction.
The boys of the State are going
right ahead in the laudable enter
prise of showing the adult farmers
how to increase the yield Of corn.
There is much encouragement for
those who expect to enhance the
quality and quantity of their corn
crops during the year 1915, There
never has been any overproduction
of corn in Kentucy. The coming
crop should be a large one If it
cannot all be used at home there
will be plenty of customers for it at
prices that will pay for raising it.
The above is from the Louisville
Courier Journal and shows what in
terest is being taken by the boys of
Kentucky in corn growing.
The Commercial is not informed as
to what the boys are doing in Ten
nessee. Several exhibits have been
made and very fines ones, too. But
Obion County, which should get in
the competition has done very little
yet. And this brings us to the prop
osition made at the last meeting of
the Union City Business Mems Club
to offer prizes to the boys of Obion
County for the best corn product on
a given amount of ground. The club
should get together on this PROPOSE
ton at once so as to give the boys
time to get their seed and prepare
the ground
The best results, we gather, can
not be obtained this year for several
reasons, but the work should start
now nevertheless. Obion County
is one Of the richest corn countries.
1t is the principal crop, and while
much has been done to develop the
culture there is much yet to be done,
and it may be that the secret of the
best results lies with the boys of the
county. The prize crops should be-
gin this year, and then when the
crop is made the seed for the next
crop should be selected, and the
prize arrangements should continue
indefinitely until the county is
brought up to the test of its posi-
bilities in corn raising.
The club couldn't get into a better
business than to encourage better
farming methods and cooperation ,
with the farmer in this movement.
