slave life" under organized baseball.
stands ready today to quit the profess
sional game.
ball players developed in this vicinity dur
ing recent years. claims that his career
as professional ball player is ended.
Heck has been two years in the North
Carolina State League. playing last sea-
son with the Winston-Salem club. Freddy
broke In with the Ashville club during
the spring of 1915. but because Of that
club being overcrowded with infielders,
Freddy was turned over to the Raleigh
club. After a sojourn of three weeks
with Earl Mack's Raleigh outfit he was
shifted to the Winston-Salem team.
Heck claims that Manager Clancy, of
the Twins, did not handle him justly, as
he had quite n few offers to move up
and was not given the chance. Heck
claimed that Clancy covered him up in
the draft when he had chances to move
into the big show, while when offers were
made to purchase him that Clancy and
the Twin stockholder would put the anti
up so high that II was impossible for him
even to be considered.
Heck made up his mind to quit when
he was made a flattering offer from the
Washington. Baltimore and Annapolis
Railroad team.
Heck claims that he will receive almost
as much salary from the railroaders
as he was getting with the Twins and
since 1t is a good position all the year
round. that he would rather quit than
to submit to the treatment he received
from the Winston team last season.

SAFE FARMING URGED
Food, Feed and Fertility Go to
Make Up Foundation.
Circular Issued by Department OF Az
ricuiture Points Out True Value
of Cotton-Money Crop Is
Last on the List.

| CFrom the United States Department OF
| Agriculture)
| Food, feed and fertility are the foun'
dations of safe farming, according to
the United States department of agri-
culture. A circular sent to farmers
| bankers and business men in cotton
| territory by the chief of the office OF
extension work In the South says: Let
us feed the people, feed the live stock,
these three things, then raise such
acreage in money crops as we have the
labor to. tend"
TIE cffcularsToints out that the true
value of cotton to the farmer is to a
great extent the amount of food and
feed that it will purchase. The price
of cotton has risen, 1t is true, but so
has the retail price Of all other farm
produce. "By growing all cotton" says
the author, land exchanging it for q
living, you are simply swapping a
high-prlced product produced by your
labor for high-priced product pro-
duced by the labor of the other fellow
When you follow safe farming how
ever, you produce your own food and
feed at cost and sell your cotton for
the other fellows dollars"
Safe farming Is defined in the cir
cular as including these items:
% A home garden for every family
on the farm, from one-tenth to one
fourth acre, well located, well tiled,
and tended as carefully as any other
crop on the farm, planted in rotation
TO time the vegetable crops so as to
have continual supply for the family
table as many days in the year as
possible. To this should be added one
fourth Of an acre Of potatoes, either
Irish or sweet, or both, TO be used as
food for the family.
(2) Enough corn on each farm to
last the family and the live stock for
one year, with little excess for safety.
CD Sufficient oats and other small
grain to supplement- the corn as food
for one year with certainty. These
small grains conserve the soil in win
ter and provide summer grazing for
live stock.

and month after planting may be
smaller and look less promising than
that planted later. The early-planted
corn ripenS first. however, and usually
produces the larger or the better crop.
Because of its slow, tough growth
corn planted very early is not so sus-
ceptible to frost and drought as corn
planted later and growing more rap
idly.
Injury From Frost.
In series of years the gain in ma
ture corn secured from early planting
will more than make up for any injury
from spring frOsts. Excellent corn
crops have been produced from plant
ings frozen off or frozen back when
the plants were from few inches to
a foot or more tall. Corn is not often
entirely killed by spring frOstS, and If
some should be injured the loss is
much less serious than that from sum-
mer drought or from fall frost.
Early-pIanted corn derives more ben
eft from the spring moisture supply,
becomes well rotted before summer
droughts begin, and may even mature
before these Groughts become severe.
Where the growing season is very
long and warm, paintings made at
about 30-day intervals increase the
chances of hitting the season right and
raising some good corn.
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-04-18
EARLY CORN PLANTING IS RECOMMENDED

,From the United States Department of
AgriCultuTe)
Corn will not grow during cold
weather as wheat and oats. Corn
planting time is, therefore, IL little la
ter than the best time for sowing
spring wheat or spring oats. However,
according TO FarmersN'Bulletin 773,
when seed of perfect vitality is used
it is remarkable how early in the
spring corn can be planted and result
in good stands and good yields. Seed
of perfect vitality will often remain In
cold or dry soils for several weeks and
afterwards terminate and yield well.
Irregular stands are sometimes attrib
uted to poor seed, when dry, poorly
prepared spots are the cause. Fields
are sometimes seen in which the seed
terminated promptly in moist spots
til rains came.
Wait for Warm Soil.
Where the seasons are long and
moisture plentiful, it is customary to
wait until the soil is warm before
planting. In semiarid regions, how
ever, corn should be planted early.
With the soil in proper condition it
is generally advisable in semiarid re-
gionS, south as well as north, TO plant
corn before danger from frost is en-
tirely past. Corn planted very early
usually makes a slow, tough growth
