FARM EXTENSION
CORN, GIRLS CLUBS
Great Aid to Corn.

After good seed, proper fertiliza-
tion, and the preparation of salts
factory seed-bed cultivation prob
ably offers the greatest opportunity
for increased yields, according to j.
C. McAmis, specialist in agronomy,
Division of Extension.
Cultivation should start early. A
spike-tooth harrow, or weeder,
should be used soon after the corn is
up. In some cases it is advisable to
go over the crop twice the first ten
days or two weeks with one of these
implements.
Ordinary cultivation should begin
when the corn is few inches high.
The chief benefit of corn cultivation
results from the killing of weeds.
The weeds should never be permitted
to get much of start. Just SO long
as weeds are controlled without in
jurinig the corn roots, the cultiva-
tion will prove beneficial For most
soils, the shallower the cultivation
the better it will prove.

Valuable Scholarship.

Prof. C. E. Wiley. head of the
dairying department of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee has announced
that the Security Mill & Feed Com
pany, of Knoxville, has established
scholarship of $400 to be awarded
to the most worthy student special
izing in dairying at the University.
This scholarship is to be awarded by
the dairy department to the most
worthy student at the end of his
junior year. The money will be-
come available in four equal install
ments of 500 each; the first at the
beginning of the school year, and
the other three at intervals of two
months thereafter. An announce
ment of the winner of this scholar
ship will be made at commencement
if possible and if for any reason the
student to whom this award is made
is unable at any time to complete
the work of the senior year, the re-
mainder of the scholarship shall pass
to the second most worthy student
in dairying.

Black Locust Nursery.

For the purpose of stimulating
interest among farmers of the State
in the planting of black locusts for
reclaiming waste lands and the
growing of fence posts, State For
ester R.. S. Maddox and o. M. Wat
son, horticulturist of the University
recently started black locust nur-
sery on the university farm. The
nursery will serve as a demonstra-
| tion and at the same time furnish a
source from which farmers may get
plants for starting locust groves
on their farms.
Seedlings from the university
farm nursery will be furnished to
farmers at small price. They will
be ready for transplanting in the
fall or next spring. Mr.. Maddox
states that he has assisted farmers
of West Tennessee in growing thou
sands of black locust seedlings and
that they often grow as high as nine
feet the first year. Seedlings of this
size are not the most desirable for
transplantiing, because of the diff
Guilty in handling the heavy, woody
top, which must be supported by the
original root system. The most sue
cessful way to handle seedlings, he
says, is to first cut the bush off at
the ground and dig up the stubs,
which when set cut will send up
thrifty, vigorous roots.
The fence post problem, says Mr..
Maddox, is one to be faced with
foresight by the farmers, and those
who plant black locusts will reap
double benefit thru the reclamation
of their waste lands and the produc-
tion of fence posts.
Mr.. Maddox states that nurseries
will be started in the near future at
the Middle Tennessee Experiment
Station at Columbia and the West
Tennessee Station at Jackson. Farm
ers in these sections may obtain
seedlings from these stations.

 their convention at the Lexington Hotel,
 Mems clothing for immediate de- livery was offered at prices 10 to 50 per cent. below present wholesale prices. Goods for spring and summer delivery were shown at prices 10 to g 1-2 per cent. under those of year ago. Mems shirts. underwear. socks and other articles show similar declines. Six hundred retail dealers from seventeen states are here and every delegate agreed that prices are slipping. ". l.. Mohr, treasurer said:
 The public is not buying, manu- lecturers and dealers are overstocked and the prices must come down. We have passed the peak in high prices of wearing apparel. Usually our con- vcntion offers goods for spring and summer delivery. This year We are not only showing stuff for future delivery, but VIC have immense stocks of ap- parel for immediate delivery
 Mems clothing will be considera- bly, cheaper from now on. The retailer can afford to sell at a lower price, for his costs are becoming lower"
 Here are some shirts which sold at wholesale for s4 a dozen a few months ago.

The Greatest of All Industries.

The farmers Of the United States
and of Minnesota are on the right
track. They are organizing co-opera-
lively to distribute and market their
own products. All they ask is trans
portation preference and reasonable
help. They should have both.
The News Tribune has long taken
this same position. Farmers are not,
strictly speaking, a class. They do
not form class. They constitute an
industry; the one basic, fundamental
industry Of this or any other country.
They include laborers, middle class, in
tellectuals, bourgeoise, poor and rich.
Every stratum of Americans and ev-
cry class Of Americans are included in
their ranks. They are not all land
owners; many are but small personal
property owners.

creased the radius of the days travel
more fair method of utility is gained.
It is again the old question of the
producer and the consumer. By using
the toll road again as an example it
will be seen that the producer of the
road was paid in direct proportion to
the number Of consumers he could get
to buy his product, or to use his, roads.
If the state is considered in the light
of the owner of the roads and collects
the toll from the users of the roads in
the form of a license, or permit to use
them, then only the consumer is af-
fected, and he is affected only in due
proportion to the use he makes of the
roads.
Statistics carefully compiled by the
United States government clearly
show that operation of motor vehicle
over good roads effects material saw
ing in tires, gasoline and depreciation
over that of operation over poor roads.
Take the figures obtained from a
survey Of operation over hard surfaced
roads for example. The saving here
amounts to 2 cents mile. The more
a motorist travels the more he saves,
and that is why the statement made
previously that the consumer is af-
fected only in due proportion to the
use he makes Of the roads is a valid
one.

do Without they must-everything
except what the farms produce-food
and clothing. Fuel is the only remain
ing essential and of that with prosper
Gus farmers we can always get enough
No country can possibly be prosper
Gus unless its farmers are prosper
Gus. No country can be at peace with
in itself unless it has abundant food.
No country can pretend prosperity un-
less it has full stomach. No country
can call itself politically or econom-
ically safe unless it's farming popula-
ton is contented, living without
threatening economic perplexities, and
brain clear.
It is not only wisdom to grant what
the farmers ask, but it would be ex-
IRENE folly to refuse. The farmers
are now quite generally organized at
the one end, the one nearest the farm.
This movement is to organize the other
end which is sale and distribution.
Only by this can they secure to them
selves the reasonably complete profits
Of their industry.
Every other great industry has it's
selling and distributing agencies un-
der it's own control. The Webb act
even extended this, comparatively, to
foreign fields. The farm industry de-
sires nothing more than that now in
operation by these others. The or
ganization will, however, be more diff
ficult in that the industry is so much
more widely scattered in small units:
Hence the greater need for help.
Among the great problems also to
be solved by such an organization, so
favored in transportation and finan-
cially, is what is known as "back to
the farm" This will cease to be a
problem when and only when the farm
industry, by it's security of profits,
offers plainly, Enthusiastically, and Ger
tainly, the financial benefits that right
ly belong to- it. When these benefits
go to the industry itself and are not
scattered all along the distance be-
tween the farm and the consumers of
farm products, whether these are fac
tories or households, farm children will
not refuse to stay on the farm, nor
ity jewellers to go to the land.-Duluth

BabcOck Road Plan Prime Issue to

System of Taxation for Highway I'M
prOvement Would Be Equal
lied by Amendment.

Setting all other issues aside, the
Babcock amendment is the prime tea-
ture that will come before the voters
in November. It is second to none IN
the benefits which it's adoption by the
voters will entail. AS election day IS
fast approaching it is well, lest they
forget, to, keep this issue before them
to familiarize them with the ad-
vantages which will accrue to every
one by the carrying Of Amendment
No. 1.
AS plain business dollars and
cents) proposition it is naturally con-
tended that people who pay for good
roads should have the most use o.
them. But statistics show that IN
Minnesota less than half of the traffic
over good roads is made by people
who have paid for them.
To be specific, take the section OF the
road you are familiar with-that
stretch which runs past your home.
Sit down with paper and pencil and
enumerate the people who live within
your neighborhood In another col
umn mark down the number OF IN
familiar faces.
In Iowa last year this question was
raised and a census was taken, On
81 of the main roads the local traffic
was only 46 per cent. That is to say
the people who lived along the road
or within few miles on either side
were in the minority. The Sd per cent
of traffic was from the larger COM
munities through which the road
passed and tourists both from within
and without the state.
Under the old toll road principle
only people who paid could use the
road. Under the present system of
building the roads by direct taxation
for that purpose people who never
have paid cent of taxes in the COM
munity through which they pass are
using the roads the most.
This results. in an unfair burden, a
misapplication of taxation. The theory
now is the application of taxes for this
purpose in the locality in which they
are raised.
