A NOVEL CANNING
CLUB CAMPING TRIP

, The Jacksboro Canning Club, with
the county agent and several friends,
spent three days on a canning camp
ing trip last week. They picked and
canned huckleberries While having
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 a stick on which the
buckets and kettles were hung over
the fire. Here the camp meals were
prepared. Each camper was detailed
a special duty, SO the burden was
heavy on no one. A cheap tireless
cooker that the girls are taught how
to make and use, simplified the 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 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 mad
| been seen or heard; the Gamers LETT
reluctantly 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 Ginger
camp, as every member soon dlscoV-
cred that it 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 TrSadWeil
ehaperoned the party.

GARDEN PLANTING
DURING SEPTEMBER

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division or Elk
tension, University of Tennessee)
If the garden is as rich as it ought
to be there is yet time to grow a crop
of radish and of mustard. Kale aud
potato onions can be planted for win
ter use and lettuce will grow large
enough for cutting, though it cannot
head before freezing weather.
The limiting factors in fall garden
ing are soil fertility and moisture.
September is usually dry month in
Tennessee, but in fall gardening we
must take a chance. If the seed can
be sown when the land Is in the right
moisture condition, and the garden is
thoroughly cultivated, the result VIII
in almost all cases justify the work.
But even with perfect moisture condi.
tions vegetables will not thrive unless
there is an abundance of plant food.
Manure the garden heavily, pillow deep
and fine the soil thoroughly. One i'm
portant difference between the spring
and fall garden is that in the spring
there is constantly increasing warmth,
favoring the growth Of the vegetables,
while in the fall the heat becomes less
from day to day, reducing the vitality
of the plants until there comes a@kill-
ing frost.
The small round varieties of radish,
such as Twenty-Day Forcing and Rap
Id Red, are best for September SOW
ing. Wayahead and lettuce, Chinese
mustard and Dwarf Curled Scotch
Kale are good varieties. Multiplier
onions are chiefly used, though bulbs
of Yellow Danvers are very satisfac-
tory
Fault Of q Great Many.
The chief Of all abuses is to imagine
that we are the center Of the universe.

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 Glled out well. 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 a poor tip; as some
boys did last year.

DRESSING PERCENT
AGE GOVERNS PRICE
(By c. 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 its 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 a carcass
gives 500 pounds of beef at a cost OF
$50, or lie per pound Another 1000
pound steer dressing SO per cent, sells
for &c per pound and yields 600 pounds
of meat at gross cost of $40, or II nc
per pound. Thus the &c steer was able
to furnish beef to the killer at less
cost per pound than the one bringing
&c per pound on foot.

Supreme Court Decision.
By Primitfva Wireless.

Tn the Juaruara region of the Ana 2on the natives use d crude sy- y-steIn of wireless teIegra aplly'. which. it is as- serted, has been in operation from an cie1lt times. The transmitter found by an explorer was a hollowed trunk of a tree suspended from 9 horizontal pole stretched between two stunps. Inside, the transn1itter had been ar ranged much like a violin, and it was explained that when the instrument was struck su1artly with a, small rubber hammer a vibration was created that carried for miles over the hills.
 The receiver is very similar to the transrnitter, except that it is placed on a hardwood platform, the base of the hollowed tree trunk being grounded on the platform When the message is struck in the neighboring village, sometimes thirty miles away. this re- ceiver catches the vibrations, causing Q jerlzy. singing sound.
 The sound systel2. it is said, can be read by the members of the tribe and in this way news of victories and other happenings are told throughout the countryside

earnestly on the Fathers Hope For His Boy. Rev. Afr. McNaIly said that the fathers hope for the boy is that he will live a clean life and that he is going to be the right kind of a man. GAs long as you live" said the speak CT, There will never be another who feeiS towards you as does your fath- CT. In closing he appealed to the fathers and sens to become closer as sociated with each other in their daily life.
 Principal Tirreii Heard
 The Boys Preparation for Life, was the topic which Henry 4. Tirreu, pr1n- cipal Of the N. I. A. spoke. Principal Iirreu said we can't say the boy is preparing for life because he is al ready living. He made this point clear because he said he felt 1t was not fully understood. Another point that Principal Tirren made clear was that the boy has in his own way re- responsibilities just as great as his fath- CT has. Whatever a boy is doing he should do as well as he can said the speaker. 4 third point brought out was that the boys life is just as i'm portant to the boy as the fathers life is to the father.
 It is a. comparatively easy thing for q well disposed person to resist temp tation- The trouble with most of Us is that we are unable to choose wise ly between good things. Principal Tir- ren emphasized the importance of the boys sense of value. Good impulses are put into practice. When Q right impulse is carried out right the sec ond one comes easier. Habits are informed by the carrying out of iu1- pulses and boys form good habits by carrying out right impulses. After q while these good impulses become per nlanently established

 The next speaker was Rev. W, $. Beard of Willimantic, who talked on the Eather, the Boys Ideal He spoke from the standpoint of d. boy appeal ing 10 his fatEer. He said the boys appreciated the sacrifices the fathers make for them but that they are oft en unable to voice this appreciation. Rev. Afr. Beard said that what every boy wants is that his father should be a comrade or chum with him. In his closing remarks Rev. Mir Beard said that the father should take enough time off from his business and social appointments to be a comrade for his boy and to take him into his conf dence.
 Cn motion of President Case a. ris- ing vote of thanks was extended to His Honor, the mayor, and the other speakers of the evening.
