NOTES FROM THE COUNTY
DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
Corn Club Boy Won First Prize for
Best Ten Ears Over Competitors.

The hog crop of Shelby county this
year is the heaviest ever known.
In spite of the high price of cotton
this fall a much greater acreage of
winter grains and clovers is being
planted than in any previous year in
the cotton counties of West Tennes-
see.
A corn club boy won first prize for
best ten ears over all competitors at
the Hardeman county fair.
J. P. Matthews, Oakland, Tenn, has
fine stand of red clover sown in cot.
ton at the last cultivation of the
crop.
Over 400 exhibits were displayed at
the annual farmers meeting in Law
renceburg, October 80, including
twelve registered beef animals and a
display of potatoes equal to that at
the State Fair.
Atlas Keathley, Lake county farm
er, picked $500 pounds of cotton in
the first picking from a field of eight
and one-fourth acres.
Over two thousand people we're
present at a school and farm rally in
Sparta, October 22d. The school ex-
hibits attracted wide attention and
the boys corn club exhibit was of IN
usual merit.
At the Houston county fair the fine
display of apples was an outstanding
feature. Tennessee Ridge, in Houston
county, is justly famed for its or
chards.
Three thousand people attended the
first agricultural day ever held in Put
nam county, October 23d. The exhib-
its were numerous and varied
At the Weakley County Fair sixty
club boys exhibited corn and the show
was the best ever made in the county.
A. L. Campbell, Martel, has just
built a Tennessee Wood Hoop silo,
ex23 feet, at a cost complete of $2933.

DEVELOPING YOUNG STOCK.

Not enough attention is paid by the
average breeder of pure bred stock in
developing his young animals up to
the time they are of a serviceable age.
Good breeding is very essential, but
an animal of the best breeding if not
properly developed while young will
never be looked upon with favor by
friends of the breed. 1t is never wise
to pamper animals that are expected
to have great future in the breeding
herd, but it is just as bad to turn them
out to rustic for their living. From
the sellers standpoint it is infinitely
worse, for he soon finds that nobody
wants an understood and poorly devel-
oped animal and that on the other
hand he can not resist buying a
growthy. veil developed ont, Ea

to 10 fruit trees for one of the
vegetable crops. The members
then become responsible for
the pruning, spraying, and
general care of these trees.
The development of crops of
perennial vegetables and fruits
is insisted on at the end of the
third year, and in MANY cases
the work is begun at the end of
the second year. The peren-
mails are substituted for some
of the annual vegetables and
the girls are given credit for
the condition of their bushes or
trees which are not yet bearing
and therefore do not yet yield
a product that can be counted
in the canning score.
1t is hoped that as a result of
this planting of perennial fruit
and vegetables several thous-
and of the girls, before many
years, will have at the end of
their junior garden permanent
gardens containing some such
profitable combinations as the
following:
Strawberries, asparagus,
and cherries. Dewberries, figs,
and pecans. Raspberries,
rhubarb, and plums. Currants,
asparagus, and grapes. Goose
berries, asparagus, and peach
Sc. Blackberries, figs, and SOUP
pernongs. Strawberries, as
paragus, and ounces. Straw
berries, figs, and oranges.
Strawberries, rhubarb, and
pears. Asparagus, straWber-
ries, and kumquats.
To enable them to use the
products of these PERMANENT |
gardens, the agents give the
girls specia | instruction in
making preserves, jelly, mar
pickles, etc.

some influential people in this country have.

The adventure originated almost a
month ago, when a telegram was re-
