DRESSING PERCENT
AGE GOVERNS PRICE
(By G. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)

(By G. D. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee.)
The price paid for meat producing
animals on foot, is almost entirely
governed by the amount of edible
product that it's carcass will yield.
MANY times the animal costing the
most per pound on foot yields the
cheapest meat-for example, thou
sand pound steer dressing so per cent,
sells for &c per pound-such carcass
gives 500 pounds of beef at cost Of
$50, or lie per pound Another 1000
pound steer dressing 60 per cent, sells
for &c per pound and yields 600 pounds
of meat at gross cost of $40, or 1ac
per pound. Thus the 7c steer was able
to furnish beef to the killer at less
cost per pound than the one bringing
&c per pound on foot.
The dressing yield of cattle varies
all the way from 40 to 70 per cent Of
their gross weights, depending upon
several factors The yield almost al
ways goes up with increase in age, I'M
til maturity, unless the animal is stunt
ed during it's development, and then it
is always low. Condition also has its
influence usually the fatter the ami
NAL the higher the dressing percent
age Form and finish are two impor-
tant MISUNDERSTANDING with COM
pactness of form and of low, blocky
type, properly finished, will most al
ways produce the highest yields of ed
ible product.
Slaughter losses come most largely
from the following; the paunch and
intestines and their contents, together
with the blood, makes up about rs per
cent of the waste; the head, pluck and
feet make up another per cent; and
with other parts, such as liver, tongue,
hide, tail, etc, average about 40 per
cent of live weight of animal. 1t is
evident that these latter parts are not
complete losses, and it is often said
that the utilization of these byprod-
uets by the packer is his only source
of profit
When your neighbor is able to out
sell you on his stock, stop and consider
whether the buyer has not seen more
real meat in his lot and was therefore
able to pay accordingly.

4 NOVEL CANNING
CLUB GAMPIAG TRIP

! The Jacksboro Canning Club. with
the county agent and several friends,
spent three days on canning camp
ing trip last week. They picked and
canned huckleberries while having a
healthy, outdoor good time. The camp
was on Cumberland mountain on land
owned by John Bowman, who kindly
permitted the club to use his ground
and berries, and Mr.. Lewis Bowman
lent his tent to the campers. By the
kindness Of Mr.. Elem Lay, the sup
plies were gotten up the rough noun
tain road to the tent site.
The campfire was the center Of at.
traction during the stay, forked stick
driven into the ground at either side
Of the fire held stick on which the
buckets and kettles were hung over
the fire. Here the camp meals were
prepared. Each camper was detailed
4 special duty, SO the burden was
heavy on no one. A cheap fireless
cooker, that the girls are t.ught how
to make and use, simplifed the cook
ing, and while vegetables were cook
Ing in this the campers would leave
the camp in quest of huckleberries. A
portable outdoor Gamer made the can
ming possible. The girls are taught
canning by the cold-pack method,
where the fruit is packed in the jar
Or can cold and put in boiling water
to be processed; this process retains
the flavor and crispness of the fresh
fruit.
"Shep," Homer Baird's trusty dog,
guarded the camp in the absence of
The berry-seekers and made himself
useful in many other ways. On one
occasion he ran down a poisonous
snake and held it at bay till his master
killed it. "Shep" was unanimously
voted the hero of the hour.
Many thrilling and hair-raising tales
had been told; the howl of wild cats
that proWled and came to the camp
and of the rattlers that would rattle
and bite. The time of departure came
and no wild cat or rattle snake had
been seen or heard; the Gamers left
and felt deep disappoint-
ment that no blood-curdling stories
could be related by them. However,
they can report an unusually good
time and quite a number Of cans Of
huckleberries.
The camp was named "Chigger"
camp, as every member soon discov-
cred that 1t had been inhabited by mil
lions Of these animals
The members of the camping party
were: Misses jamie B. and Nell Tay-
Tor, Loa Brickey, Emma and Ola
Clark, Emma Griffin, of Knoxville, and
Messrs. Homer Baird, Irdel Peters,
Charles Clark, Mrs. Taylor and the
County agent, Miss May Treadwell,
chaperoned the party.

WEST WRGINIA'S BAD ROADS
Farmers Lose Immense Sums Each
Year Through Their Inability to
Get Products to Market.

Bad roads in West Virginia cost
the state $5O,0O0,00O a year" declared
A. D. Williams of Morgantown, state
road engineer, to a Washington Post
representative the other day. 81 mean
Nv this that at least that much money
Is wasted every year by reason of the
inability of the farmers to get their
products to market. Thousands of
tons of apples and other fruit, garden
truck and food supplies are allowed
to rot in the orchards and gardens
because the roads are too bad to haul
It to market. Just to illustrate, Joe
Swope, editor of county paper, noted
that he was paying one dollar BUSH

SUGGESTIONS TO CORN CLUB
BOYS SELECTING EXHIBITS.

Much care should be taken in the
selection of exhibits. Select ears cyl
indrical in shape, all about the same
length, depending upon the variety;
uniform in circumference with
straight rows; the kernels should be
uniform in shape, color and size; butts
and tips filled out we'll Do not select
some ears with red and some with
white cobs, the cobs should be all
white or all red, according to the va
riety. Do not trim off the tips of cobs
of an ear, having poor tip; as some
boys did last year.

More prans Needed.

The splitlog drag has contributed
more toward the economic mainten-
ance of public highways than any inn
plement Of modern usage. 1t does not
require special acts of the legislature,
bond issues nor expensive educational
campaigns to make it available as
usually precedes construction work. A
drag can be built or purchased for $40
and is easily operated by anyone who
can drive team. We need more
drags.

Profit in Retaining GuIlies.

Weakley county, as well as many
other counties OF our state, has 8
great acreage of large gullies, some
of which cover more than an acre.
and in some instances we find from
two to three on a farm. Taxes are
being paid on such land and no in.
come whatever is obtained. These
places can and should be made tc
bring in profitable dividend and
at the same time be brought to a
stage of high fertility.
How is this to be done?
By planting these places in black
locust trees, putting one small
sprout or Seeding every five or six
feet each way. The black locust
tree belongs to the legumes, en-
riches the soul, and on good land
makes two posts to each tree in
six or seven years after planting.
On the quilted places it will make
two.posts in ten years time.
The question of fence posts is
already serious problem, to say
nothing of what it will be ten years
from now. The man who puts out
a grove of these valuable trees on
good land, to say nothing about
his gullies, is preparing for a large
dividened in the future. A pro
minent farmer in the northern
part Of the county who has one
half acre with one-Year-old locusts
on it, stated that he had been Of
fered $500 per year for the next
ten years for this grove. This is
a great deal more than can be
realized from many of methods
OF farming.
The time to set these locusts is
from November to March. Sprouts
from an already started grove or
seedlings bought from the nursery
can be used for this purpose. How
ever, probably a more convenient
start, and a surer one, is by gath,
ering and planting either direct or
in nursery rows. II the nursery
row is used, these seedlings should
be transplanted the next fall. Our
old locust trees are hanging full Of
these seeds at present and should
I've gathered, stored, and planted in
rows next March aud then trans
planted in the gullies next fall.
After your trees are sci, some brush
may be put in and Japan clover
seed sown.
Why not start a move to reclaim
every old gulIey in Weakley county
by stal ting a locust grove in every
gulley that cannot be plowed
across? Mr.. Reader, will YOU be
the first to start this profitable
move in your community?

The Blue X Marx.

We have been too busy IN the
office during the past six or eight
weeks to mail out statements to
subscribers who are in arrears for
subscription, and have been using
the blue pencil, making a cross
mark on the margin of the papers
OF those in arrears. 1t is quite
expensive to make out and mail
statements for these small ac-
counts, anyhow, and it seems al
most impossible to see some Of
our subscribers in person, so we
are this week using the cross
mark again and hope those who
get the mark will consider it an
invitation to send US a dollar,
which we very much need just
now. During the past three weeks
we have had to purchase $500
worth of material to be used on
work for which we get no pay
until about Nov. /, and we need
some money right now to meet
these bills. Won't YOU help US
by sending a dollar at once-those
of you who find blue mark on
your paper this week?
We find also shat the subscrip-
ton of a number who subscribed
about a year ago in the contest
has expired, and We will ask that
those who do not want tile paper
continued kindly mark on the top
margin the word Refused" and
drop it back either into the post
office or your mail box, and your
postmaster will then notify US.
We do not wish to send the paper
to anyone who does not care to
read the county news and will take
it as a favor if those of you who
do not care for the paper will no.
tify us to discontinue the Enter
Prise to your address. The fig
ures on the little yellow label tell
just when your subscription ex-
pires.
Beginning with October |, the
Enterprise will establish q new
role-one which we have been
considering for a year, and which
is that all papers going to sub
scribers outside the county will be
discontinued at the date If expira-
ton. This is not done because of
a lack of confidence in those SUBJ
scribers, but for various reasons,
one Of which is that we do not see
these subscribers several times
during the year as we do the
county subscribers, and therefore
these subscriptions run behind,
Another reason is that frequently
the paper is sent by someone to a
friend in another state or county
and when we send the paper on
that party refuses to pay the sub
scription on the grounds that he
or she did not order the paper, yet
read it. We have no way Of keep
ing a record of these subscriptions
sent by friends to friends, and on
and after Oct. l, all subscriptions
going outside the county will be
discontinued at date of expiration.
