LOYD'S BRAIN LEAKS.
by F. \. LLOYD:

Uncle Dock Green says if our women
and girls would take higher stand
and say mo, we will not keep com
pany with you unless you live the way
we want you to-" there would be bet
ter men in the world. A lot of you
young women hold yourselves too
cheaply; you are scared to death for
fear you will be what the world irrev-
erently calls an old maid.
Uncle Gus Bentley says boy spends
lot Of hopeful years looking forward
to the time when he will be his own
boss-and then he gets married and
gets boss sure enough.
Hub Butler says the man who be-
HAYES himself because he is afraid Of
the police and the devil, doesn't make
the best citizen. The best citizens
are the men who behave themselves
because it makes them feel good to be
able to look the world straight in the
eye. Hub knows.
Albert Elder says you can't tell any
thing about woman. The one who
abuses her husband most in private,
brags about him most in public.
One of our town ladies' said TO anoth
er: docs your husband ever lose his
temper?"
mot any more. He lost it perma-
nently about two years after our mar
rage"
Dan Boisture says there is nothing
strange about the fact that women do
not talk in their sleep. They have the
whole day to talk in and a man has
to talk some times.
Ben Wigginton says you often see
a man who needs hat when he doesn't
want it. But darnd IL ever saw a
woman that way. $3.50 ''-- = &c -' --'--''''--''
Uncle Dock Green says the two
incest things in the world is pretty
girl. and a man who minds his own
business.
Albert Elder says we use to marry
in haste and repent at leisure; but now
a.days we marry at leisure and repent
in haste.
Sam Harris says some men waste
half Of their lives sitting around the
stores and regrettiug that life is SO
short.
Newt Dollar says no matter how
we'll you are doing your work. there
are always lot Of people loafing
around who can tell you how to do il
better.
George Crider says most of the men
who are seeking positions, are lodging
work. George, knows.

Germans Hid Their Ship In Palm
Grove To Try To Save Her.

The dramatic story of the sink
ing of the German raider Koep-
igs burg, on the coast of East
Africa, has just been told by
Captain Willett of the British
merchant ship Newbridge.
The Koenigsburg, which was
a light cruiser of about the same
class as the Emden, Dresden.
and Karlsruhe, mounting only
Al inch guns, was in company
with a smaller German ship when
chased by the British squadron,
which included, it is believed,
several armored cruisers of the
County class. The smaller ship
was sunk, but the Koenigsberg
succeeded in getting behind the
Malta Islands and some distance
up the river, where she was COM
pletely screened by a bend of the
river, and where the British
heavier draft ships could not
follow her. They also, it ap-
pears, landed a detachment who
mounted some light guns on the
bank as a defense against attack
by a British boat expedition.
The British, however, content
ed themselves with bottling up
the Koenigsberg by sinking Cap
tain Willett,s ship in the channel.
They then waited for the arrival
of a seaplane which flew up the
river and indicated the position
of the German cruiser by drop
ping smoke bombs.
The Germans had their ship
close to the bank under cover of
some palm groves and had cover
ed her with foliage. The aviator,
however was able to make her
out and to direct the fire of the
British ships so accurately by sig
nails that the cruiser was COM
pletely destroyed.

The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-10-14

When the averages given in
the two middle columns were
shown to Mr.. B in comparison
with the figures for his own
farm, he observed that in spite
of fair crops and especially good
live stock his labor income was
only half the average of all the
farms analysed in the commune
ty and was about 81, 600 less than
the average of the 10 better
farms. This he saw was due
very largely to the small size of
his business, which was about
two-thirds as big as that of the
average farmer and half as big
as that of the best farmers. He
then realized that the easiest
way for him to increase his labor
income was to increase the size

of his business.
Mr.. A, who owned a smaller
farm than did Mr.. B, en-
larged his business this particu-
lar year by renting additional
land. His live stock was not so
very efficient, yet because of an
increased number of them his re-
ceipts from that source alone
were almost as great as Mr.. BIS
receipts from his entire farm
business. The additional acreage
which A rented enabled him to
diversity his crops and. to increase
their area. AS a result he had
almost as much income from the
sale of crops as from the sale of
live stock, thus reducing his
risk f being overwhelmed
by loss from disease among his

Why Some Farmers Are
Bigger Profit Farmers

vestigators and demonstrators,
is what he has left of his gross
farm income after he has paid
his farm expenses out of it and
has deducted from it a fair re-
turn of interest on his farm in
vestment. In calculating this
labor income no account is made
of the home which most farmers
have on the farm, or of the veg
etables, meat, milk, etc., which
they derive from thier farms.
Encouragement investigators
have determined that on the aver
age the house rent and living
supplies mentioned are worth
about $50 per year for each
adult person in the family. The
labor income, as used by the
farm-mangement investigators
and demonstrators, is a some
what arbitrary factor by means
of which they compare the eff
cheney of different farms. 1t can
not be used to compare the bust
ness of a farmer with that of a
city man whose home is entirely
separated from his business.
Almost invariably it has been
found very interesting and bene-
fetal to the individual farmers
to help them calculate the labor
incomes they are receiving from
their farm business and then to
analyze this business into it's
component parts and compare it
item by item with averages of
farms conducted by their neigh
bors who are working under con-
ditions similar to their own. The
following table shows such a
comparison # some corn-belt
farms:
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-10-14

live stock. Because of this in
crease in crop area and diversity
of business Mr.. A was able to
use his men and teams to much
better advantage. He handled
three times as many crop acres
per horse and about twice S
many crop acres per man as did
Mr.. B, and yet his crop yields
were better than those of Mr.. B.
When Mr.. was shown the analy-
sis of his farm in comparison
with the averages of the COM
munity he realized that he could
increase his labor income mater
tally by improving and charging
his livestock business.
1t may be we'll to mention in
passing that neither Mr.. A nor
Mr.. B were shown the analysis
of the others farm. These fig
ures for Individual farms are al
ways confidential between the
farming and the demonstrator.
Comparisons are always made
with averages of all farms in the
community or with selected
groups of them.
The weakness mentioned in the
organization of the farms of Mr.. |
A and Mr.. B are not neccessari-
ly typical of other farms in that
or other communities. Every
farm has its own pecularities,
and it's strong and weak points
can be determined onlyby..an alyz-
ing as it were the two farms |
mentioned. Up to the present
time, however, very few farms
have been discovered which were
so we'll organized that such a
simple analysis as this did not
indicate changes that it would
be profitable ard practicable for
the operator to make in them.

5tration work is conducted by

SELF SOWN FLOWERS

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University Of Tennesee.)
Last year the best strain of i'm
proved zinnias obtainable was planted
in one flower garden, and the show
that resulted was very satisfactory.
This plant has been very much i'm
proved in recent years, and now comes
In brilliant orange-scarlets, clear pinks
and lemon yellows: the old dull pinks
and reds are scarcely seen in the best
mixtures. 1t seemed. as If every zinnia
In the garden was perfect.
Last spring a great many seeding
zinnias sprung up from seed of last
years plants. No new seed was pur-
chased. Since all of last years plants
were of the finest quality, 1t was rea-
sonable to suppose that these soed-
lings would produce equally perfect
flowers. In fact more than half Of this
years plants were inferior. Many of
the flowers were either single or semi
double, and the prevailing color was
dull pink and duh red shades Very
few of the plans gave the brilliant
flowers that characterized last years
crop.
The same thing Is noticed in
petunias. Starting with the finest
fringed varieties, three years of self
sown plants have resulted in rever-
sion to the old form and to very
large degree, dull pinks and white.
One of the agreeable experiences
with self-sown flowers has been with
hardy phlox. Several years ago few
plants of four varieties were planted;
they have seeded freely and many of
the seedlings have been permitted to
stand: these seedlings vary greatly
from their parents and from each 9TH
er in height of plant, time of bloom,
and size and color of flowers, and none
has developed the dull purple color of
the old fashioned phl0x.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-10-14

Every community of farmers
studied has a few who are much
more successful than are their
neighbors, according to those en-
gagged in the farm management
demonstration work carried on
by the department in cooperation
with a number of the Northern
and Western States. AS far as
the work has gone in Fl States
it has been found that out of any
group of rs farmers operating
under similar conditions, one may
pick a dozen or more whose farm
labor incomes are on the average
from $500 to 81, 400 better than
the average of all. A difference
of from 5000 to 81, 200 between
the better farmers and the ave-
rage is very common.
These more successful farms
can not be picked with any GER
tainty by their fine appearance or
by their good crops; by their fine
live stock, or even by their large
financial returns from a single
crop or kind of live stock.
1t is not unusual to find that
farms which make a very fine
appearance are making their op-
perators from $1,000 to $4,000
less labor income than are others
which do not look so prosperous.
1t seems that the only safe way
to compare the efficiency of any
given farmer with that of others
in his community is to compare
the labor incomes which they re-
ceive from their respective
farms.
