At this season of the year no one
thing pertaining to poultry husbandry
requires more stress laid upon it than
the culling Of the flock. All pullets
that are understood, poorly developed.
or that have become stunted from any
cause, should not be retained as lay
ers. Hens that are slow to moult and
over two years old will prove unprofit-
able as layers. The pullets should be

GARDEN PLANTING
DURING SEPTEMBER
(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of En-
tension, University of Tennessee.)

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Elk
tension, University of Tennessee)
If the garden is as rich as it ought
to be there is yet time to grow crop
of radish and of mustard. Kale and
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 will
in almost all cases justify the work.
But even with perfect moisture condi-
tons 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 Rad. are hest for SantAmher SOW
Ing. Wayahead and lettuce, Chinese
mustard and Dwarf Curled Scotch
Kale are good varieties. Multiplier
onions are chiefly used, tn ugh bulbs

tory.

SUGGESTIONS 70 CORN CLUE
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 filed 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 OF the tips OF cobs
Of an ear, having poor tip: as some
boys did last year.

Timely and Wholesome Ad-
vice Given To Owners
of Woodlands
PRICES OF TIMBER RISING
illustration Given Showing How Ono
Farmer Lost $1,000 Through
Sales by Lump Sum.

(By w. r. Nation, Foresty Specialist)
In spite Of the rise in prices OF stand
Ing timber and need for better farm
management, owners of woodlands
continue to sell timber blindly and
with scarcely any idea Of it's value.
The farmer Is in reality the producer
OF the timber, and owners should re-
alize this fact. A recent case in Roane
county illustrates we'll how farmers
almost give away their valuable tim
Der.
A farmer sold for a lump sum Of
$500 all the merchantable pine stand
ing on his farm which he had recently
bought, giving two-year term for cut
ting. The farm consisted Of $50 acres
OF mostly hill land, and the owner
needed some money to help pay for
the property. The location was 10
miles from a large town on trunk
line railroad, connected by f1rst-class
piked road and mostly down-grade
haul. The bulk of the pine was in
pure stands and the rest scattering
among hardwoods. A little was old
virgin yellow pine, but most OF it had
come up thickly in old fields turned
out at various times. beginnin- about
20 years before the war and continu-
ing down to year or two after the
war An average sample of the 90
year-old pine was measured and yield
ed from 10000 to 10000 feet per acre;
fully stocked stands yielded up to
10000 board feet. The older stands
undoubtedly yielded up to 10000
where well stocked with trees. The
trees we're from 70 to 80 feet in height
and measured from IL to 10 inches in
diameter at breast height az feet
above the ground).
BY August, 1915, the purchaser had
cut something over 100000 board feet
and still had not less than 10000 feet
yet to cut. This made his stumpage
cost him less than 81 per Thousand
feet. The value of the stumpage was
carefully figured out with the assist
ance Of one of the few most expert
enced men in the county. The items
of cutting, logging, saving and haul
ing, after adding % per cent for profit
on the operation, made the cost Of the
lumber at the railroad between $3.50
and $500 per thousand feet. This
same lumber is now worth $12 during
the present low prices, but up to SIS
at average prices for the past few
years. The difference between the to-
tai cost Of logging, saving and mar
keting, allowing for a liberal profit,
and the selling price gives the stump
age value, or the value in the standing
tree. At the lower selling price OF $12
for the product, the timber in the tree
was worth So to $3.50 per thousand.
The farmer thus sold for $500 tim
Der worth at least $1,000, thereby los
Ing $1,000 that he, as the virtual pro-
Queer, should have had. This would
have very nearly paid for, the entire
farm. Sales by the lump sum are often
very deceiving, because the price
named sounds large to the owner, who
usually has no idea of either the

amount or value of his timber. I'm
Der should never be sold by the lump
or boundary, except an estimate and
appraisal has first been made by some
competent person. When this has
been done the method is to be recon-
mended for use in many situations
where scaling the logs would be diff
f1cult or otherwise impracticable.
