A. F. Devaney Thinks This the Besi

We recently received a letter from
A. F. DeVsney, Spring City. that con.
tains some very encouraging references
to this plateau section. MIR. DeVaney
was for several years a resident of
Crossville, knows how farming condi-
tiOns used to be and also knows how
they are in the Tennessee valley,
where farmers ara expected to grow
splendid crops. We quote the following
from his letter:
"Crops are the finest ever saw cut
there and tell the people here that
Cumberland county is the best and
cheapest place for homo that know
of anywhere and that 1t is coming to
the front in farming and stock raising.
l don't think there is any place where
stock can be raised cheaper or even as
cheap as can be done on the Plateau.
The people out there are taking more
pride in good cattle than In this coun-
ty."

SELECTING SEED CORN.
Now Is the Time and in the Field the
Place, Not in the Cri bLater.

The corn crop OF the United States i
estimated this year at considerapl.
over three billions of bushels; far tn,
largest ever grown.
Cumberland county will have corr
crop double that ever grown before
The reason IS due to two main causes
First, an unusually good season. Sec.
ond, better preparation and cultiva.
tion.
One very important thing for our
people to remember, especially. is that
our splendid corn crop has taken an
unusually large amount of plant food
out of the soil, which means that the
plant tood for growing crops tor next
year IS that much reduced and the
amount remaining is less than is US
ually the case. Unless extra care is
used and special effort is made, we
may reasonably expect reduced crops
next year as against this year. The
real fact Is, we have reason to expect
reduced crops next year any way, be-
cause we cannot safely count upon an
other season so favorable as this one
has been.
1t is possible to help matters very
much, if proper methods are employed.
Chief among the favorable methods
that should be employed for producing
a good corn crop next year Is, seed
selection.
This is Il 9 time to select seed corn.
when it CO be seen just what kind of
a stalk pr; Iced the ear and all condi-
tions connec ed with its growth. When
It is rene bered that in extreme cases
the yield Of selected seed corn has
shown production of eighteen bushels
over unsolicited seed, 1t will be seen
that careful selecting Of seed corn Is
one of the most profitable things that
:xn engage the time of any farmer who
aspires to better and bigger crops.
The following taken from the Gov
Weekly News Letter is timely
and worthy of attention:
KERNELS OF SEED-CORN TRUTH.
If you plant corn from stalks that |
rave suckers, that is what you will |
'aise. Like begets like. Select your
.orn seed from the stalk as 1t stands,
% you will know Its parentage.
Short. thick storm proof stalks with
ars that grow low are the right kind
or the Central and Southern States.
let your seed from such stalks because
lender. top-heavy stands are likely to
1ean losses.
Seed ears from the best-producing
talks in the field produce more than
eed ears apparently as good. but gath
red without considering the produc.
iveness of the parent stalk. The
lace to select seed corn is in the field,
OF in the crib; the time to select 1t IS ,
s soon as 1t is mature, not at husking ,
me-.
Take seed corn from the best -produc-
lg stalks as they stand thick in the
cid. Such seed is more likely to meet i
successfully than seed
hlch comes from a stalk which stood t
one and did not suffer from the c
.owding of its neighbors.

MIDDLE Tenn. FARM NEWS
Prepared Exclusively for the Chronicle by
Division Of Extension. College Of
Agriculture, University Of Tennessee
Knoxville.

There is no truth in widely circu-
lated statement that the Government
+. expects to atke food supplies from any
family. The Food Administration and
the Department of Agriculture, of both
Nation and State, join IN a statement
to counteract what seems to be a delib-
crate propaganda to the effect that the
Government intends to take from every
family all canned goods put up in ex-
cess of 100 quarts.
This is only one of the variations of
the rumor. which has been widely cir
culated. Another statement is that the
Government has been urging the can
nlng, drying, and preserving of fruits
and vegetables SO that they will be in
convenient form tor the Government
to handle and transport when it takes
them away from the people. Further
elaboration IS that these goods are to
be taken away from the American
homes and shipped to England.
The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has ever been con-
templated by the Government.
HAY is SCARCE.
A ton of straw or corn stover with
200 pounds of cottonseed meal will take
the place of ton of hay in wintering
your cattle.
One ton of hay is worth $40 90.
One ton OF stover or straw. $500.
plus 200 pounds cottoSeed meal. $500,
Is worth $500.

ACCOUNTING IN SCHOOLS.
Practice in accounting, IN the class
.oom and on the farm, has a high value
Tor country pupils IN our high schools
and secondary schools. There is no
better method of developing accuracy

Farm management may be defined

accounts of financial transactions and
ecords of farm operations are inti-
nately connected with the business ad-
ninistratIon of the farm, the giving

FALL CARE or PULLETS.
Pullets should be separated from
ockerels as soon as the cockerels are
large to place on market.
