INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found
To Think of These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three to five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes a firm seed bed Just below
the surface, If the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The In
crease in yield from the firm packing
OF roller win often pay for the r0s aSf
in one crop. 9e
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out ell
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield Of wheat can be
increased five bushels If one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly whole year to grow crop of
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. It does not cost any
more and the profit is so pleasing and
satisfactory. Do your best this time
and note the difference.-C. z. Alfred,

IS THERE SILO
ON YOUR FARM
Sllage This Year Will Be More
Important in Sensible
Feeding Than Before
SILO PAYS ITS OWN COST
There Are Many Kinds Of Good Shoe,
But Wood-Hoop Silo Is Favored In
Many Places Because Of Its lnexpen-
slveness and Ease of Construction.

In general Tennessee farm practice
the length OF the period of usefulness
OF the wood-staye silo is not determin.
cd by the number of years the slaves
will last, but by the care the silo re-
ceives, It Is not uncommon to find q
stave stIo In good condition that has
been In use for ten years Neglect OF
Tightening the hoops during the sum
mer when the silo is empty results in
its becoming twisted out of shape and
not infrequently blowing down,
Notifications of the stave silo are 10
quite common use in some sections OF
the state. the two types deserving par
,ticular mention being the wood-hoop
and the garter
The construction Of the wood-hoop
silo is described in Publication rs, Of
the Division of Extension, University
lof Tennessee, Knoxville, copy OF which
can be had for the asking. The partic,
iular recommendation for the wood-hoop
silo is the cheapness Of construction,
considering satisfaction, and the length
of time 1t will last. Wood hoops are
used, made OF 4 thicknesses Of green
white oak or elm, h"x3@ generally saw.
ed from a log cut on the farm. These
hoops are spaced about feet apart
and the slaves (1@x4" tongued and
igrooyed pine fooring) are nailed to
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1917-08-17

the inside of these hoops, leaving a
space of 2 feet wide for a door This
makes a silo that is inexpensive, as
rigid as the regular stave silo, and the
hoops do not loosen when It is empty,
1t can be constructed at very mod
crate cost, and will last on an average
OF ten years.
The garter type of silo Is on much
the same principle, except that rough
lumber is used for slaves. These are
nailed to the wooden hoops and on the
inside are lathed and plastered with
cement plaster. In sections where II
is not easily possible to obtain tongued
and grooved flooring. and rough lum.
Der is available, and enough cement
to make the plaster can be obtained
at a small cost, this type of silo, II well
braced so as not TO be shaken by winds
which crack the plaster, will give en-.
tire satisfaction at very reasonable
cost.
The cost of silos and materials for
their construction vary 30 greatly for
different sizes and in different sections
that it is not possible to make com
parison that is reliable The average
cost Of the concrete stlos that have
been built in Tennessee within the
past few years has been between $3.50
and $500 per ton capacity. The cost
Of the wood-hoop sflo averages around
s100 per ton capacity. Other stave
silos vary IN cost on account OF
the different kinds OF humber used in
their construction.
So far as protecting the silaSs is
concerned, a roof on the silo is IN.
necessary. It serves as a protection
for the sflo and for tbe feeder during
cold, rainy or snowy weather, but it's
value for the purpose hardly justices
its use where the fact OF ~ being
very much in the way OF filing the silo
is taken into consideration.
The inside Of all silos, concrete as
well as wood, SHOULD be kept painted
and for this purpose coal tar, thinned
with gasoline or heated so that It can
be put on readily with brush, is most
commonly used. Wood silos should be
kept painted on the outsider. M.

FARMERS INCOME TAX

The United States Revenue Collec.
tors have sent out blanks that the
farmers are expected to fill, and then
appear before one OF the deputy col.
lectors for personal consultation. The
important thing to be done by those
who suspect that they may be subject
to this tax is to gather all the informa.
ton which they may be called upon
to furnish. For example, they should
make careful records of everything
sold from the farm, together with the
total sum received. Then they should
make similar reports OF everything
bought which entered into the conduct
OF the farm, as, for example, feed and
livestock OF all kinds. The ordinary
family expenditures are not to be de
Quoted from the gross income.
The man Who has a complete record
OF all his business transactions will
be much better able TO answer the
questions which Will be asked OF him
by the deputy collector; and, mas
much as the income tax law imposes
a very severe penalty upon any indt
viduRl who should make a return and
falls to do so. and upon any individual
who makes any false or fraudulent 70
turns, farmers should prepare to pro
tect themselves by being able to fur
nish promptly and satisfactorily any
information which may be demanded
of them.
Your County Agents or Specialist
at the Division of Extension, Univer
sity of Tennessee, Knoxville, can hslT
you in this matter, and will be glad tc

HAYWOOD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

school for the boys and girls of Haywood,
county. Every boy and girl in this county has the
opportunity of obtaining the best education pos
sibe without expense. The tuition is absolutely
FREE.
Our graduates are accepted in West Point,
Randolph Macon University of Tennessee, Van
derbilt and all other leading southern colleges
without examination. Our school is second to no
county high school in the state in the matter of
laboratory for science work.
Not only do we prepare students for college,
but very thorough and practical courses in cooking
and sewing for the girls and in agriculture for the
boys are offered. Many of the best young farmers
in the county are graduates of the High School
Over fifty per cent of the rural teachers of
Haywood county are graduates Of the High School
They are successful The function of the school is
to prepare the student for making success in life.
The flower of the manhood of both this coun-
try and in Europe are entering the Great War.
Many OF them will never return. There will be a
shortage of trained men. Boys and girls that do
not accept this opportunity are losing the chance
of life time.
Parents, the Commission on Education found,
after extensive study that the difference in the
earnings of the boy that finished high school and
the boy that stopped in the eighth grade was such
that from financial point of view the high school
education was better investment that $4,000 at
6per cent You can put him through the full four
years of high school for about $500. 1t will have
the same value to him as if you had given him
$4,000.

reasonable rates. School opens MONDAY, SEP
