Last year the corn eaxb beys Of Tea
sesSee produced an average sf N.a
Bushels Of corn per acre. II Il h vaL
ued at $50 per bushel, the Greg frOms
each acre was worth $s1.4S.
Each boy kept an account OF the
cost Of growing his corn, which aver
aged $25.O7 per acre. When we deduct
this from the value OF the crop, there
remains a net profit OF $56.3S.
In order to give an idea as to the
methods followed by some OF the more,
successful corn club boys In growing
their corn, few Of their records willI
be printed during this season. II ls
hoped that their methods will be al
source Of information to others who
will be able to produce equally good
results. Until we apply on a large
scale the most practical methods used
by successful farmers and corn club
boys, we viii not reap the full benefit
of the great work the county agents
are doing.

HOGS SHOULD HAVE

The contention that hogs need little
shelter in Tennessee is wrong, says
DR.. Robert Jay, veterinarian in charge

Wet winters in the south as they do
from the dry, extreme cold OF the
north. In fact, have never seen hogs

DIR. Jay. A shivering hog is never
thriving sr doing any good The losses

pigs with lice on the outside, worms

owner insisting that he could not feed
hogs probably. This was quite evil

high price of feeds, land values and

MT. Houston said there were indi-
cations of falling receipts because
mere was no means of predicting the
Soursc Oh business or incomes and
proh's. The receipts for the present
materially lower than the record Of
$oyo00.000,000 last Year, expressing
the telicf that the receipts would not
greatly exceed the required $4,000
ooo.00e under the present levy.
we cannot afford to operate on a
tax basis which would give us reve-
nues below those anticipated" the
speaker continued. and in plans for
revision this should be finally in
mind" "
Let nc make this point clear: In
saying that the aggregate receipts for
the government should be maintained
at high level for the purposes indi-
Gated, l am by no means committing
myself to existing schedules or to
specific taxes. Much of the war leg

former years and have been getting
along better than before. Several
young boys have filled out places on
the crew driving bundle teams; and
they. have mot found the work. too
hard. as.they have had no pitching
to do. The machine does all of the
heavy work in the field. 1t works on
the same principle as a binder, and
is to my mind as necessary an i'm
plernent on the modern farm.
1.-THE harvesting is done in the u.s.
ual manner, except that it is not
necessary to shock the grain if the
threshing is to be done very soon aft
cr cutting. This also effects a saw
ing III labor. When the threshing
machine moves onto a quarter, the
bundle wagons can be loaded and al
ready to supply the separator as soon
as the machine is set. The shock
loader works so much faster than
field pitchers can that all delay is
thus avoided.
SIN the matter of labor alone the
machine saves me $40 a day. Fewer
bundle teams are required to supply
the machine than when field pitchers
do the work now done by the loader.
This makes a saving in the use of
horses. although q four-horse team is
needed to pull the loader.
II found my having little work this

Gates outstanding. The. treasury pro-
gram. he added, would result in re-
ducing this below 2 100000, 900 and
perhaps to $500. 000, 900.
By the end of the fiscal year 1922.
Mr.. Houston declared. the treasury
should have redeemed its entire
floating debt or the short term GER
tificates. when the Victory notes ma
turing the next year will become
practically the floating debt" and
probably be accepted then in payment
Of federal taxes. =
3 Resistance Begins.
Turning to the demands of agri-
Mr.. Houston said that scarcely had a
reduction in the cost of living mani
tested itself when every producer
manifested resistance"
Every producer is willing for the
products of every other producer to
decline but protests the decline in his
own he continued. There is much
human nature in this. but not much
rea sonableness.
THE situation is the result mainly
Of war and in no small measure the
failure of this nation. and nations
everywhere, to date, to devise better
arrangements for storage n market
ing of farm products. For these
things. no one particular is to blame.
Under the circumstances. it seems
to some farmers that they are in the
way of being hit first if not exclusively.
They are naturally disturbed and dis
tressed and are seeking relief meas
ures, some of which are not practical
and some of which are suicidal.
THE first impulse of many who are
searching for. the way out is to turn
to the government and particularly to
the treasury as the sole instrumental
ity for full economic salvation. This
disposition and well developed belief
the war was reinforced during hos
tilities by practices of the government
which became necessary for the sue
ccssful carrying on of the a and
the preservation of national life.
1T is the same disposition which
causes resort to the government for
all sorts Of appropriations, many even
of a purely local character. 1t is. this
disposition rather than self aggrandiz-
ing efforts Of federal departments to
extend functions which is the main

quently criticized:
"If there. is a fault, and I think
there is. the blame rests largely with
the public which remains quiescent
while interested groups arc clamorous.
When the people realize this fact
there will be a remedy and not until
then"
