this in most sections However, in all
events. these diseases must be con-
trolled, if possible, and for this rea-
son farmers are urged TO be unusual
" cautious in selecting seed for next
years crop. They should select about
five times as many seed ears as will
be needed to allow for discarding
later all ears found to be diseased.
Cure and store seed ears in a dry, well
ventilated place Full directions are
given in Farmers Bulletin No. l175,
which may be secured upon applica-
ton to the Division Of Extension,
University of Tennessee, or the
county agent, who will gladly secure
it for you.
After the seed ears are thoroughly
dry, discard all ears with denting
that is too rough or with pink, dis
colored, cracked, or shredded shank
attachments, or with moldy, diseolor-
ed or starchy kernels. Make a spec
ial termination test of 10 representa-
tive kernels from each seed ear Sc
lected and keep for seed only those
ears represented by 10 healthy seed
lings, cutting open the 10 kernels to
make sure they are rotted, even if the
sprout appears to be healthy Dis

Boys and girls club work is one
Of the important features Of the agrl-
cultural extension work conducted by
the University Of Tennessee in CO..
operation with the United States De-
partment of Agriculture The object
Of this work is to stimulate interest
in livestock and farm activities among
the young people of the state. Where
ever club work has been pushed by
the county agents. larger yields have
been obtained, better pigs have been
raised and finer CATTLE both dairy and
beef, have been grown, While the
boys and girls get some money value
out of their products, this is only a
small part of the value Of club work.
Many boys and girls have had their
vision of life enlarged by club mem
bership. Many have taken and are
taking college training. The Division
of Extension, University of Tennessee,
fosters the various clubs for boys and
girls thru the country agents. If
there are clubs in your county, is your
boy or girl member2 Have you a
county agent? If not, then you can
do big thing for your county by get
ting up interest for an agent. The
Division Of Extension will help.

THoUGHTs on ARMIsTIcE DAY


Two years ago on the 18th Of No
uember the afmistice, which ended
the world war, went into effect, and
the guns which had cost the lives Of
nearly ten million men ceased firing
Since that day profound changes
have come over the world and its peo-
pie. New times are ushered in and
new conditions prevail. The very
foundations Of government have been
shaken and all human institutions
have been put to the test.
Out Of war the world went into
speculation, extravaganza and all
manners Of follies. Now at last the
world has recovered its senses. The
smoke of the war has cleared away,
the passions it engendered have
cooled little and we begin TO see in
Its true perspective the greatest
catastrophe Of all time.
1t is clear to US now that the
frightful destruction of war can not
enrich the world. We can not create
wealth by destroying it. There were
many who thought the war had
ushered in a period of unprecedented
prosperity We now are undeceived.
We realize that the world has lost
half tits working capital and no
alchemy of speculation, no ledgerde-
main of statistics, can hide this mo-
mentous fact The bubble of specu-
lation has burst; the mania for prod
igal spending has run its course.
9 1t took this bitter experience to
bring the world to its senses. HUI
mainly has just awakened from it's
delerium-a kind of brain fever that
resulted from the surgical operation
which cut off ten million men. There
never was a surgical operation like
Ghat. Never fever ragged so fiercely
as the one that seized the writhing
body Of the race and swept the whole
world into folly.
Now the fever is gone and the body
of humanity is deeply depressed.
Presently it will begin to gain
strength. The one thing that will aid
recuperation and hasten the recov-
cry Of strength is the old-fashioned
virtue of industry, accompanied by
another. economy.
The governments propaganda on
thrift became tiresome to the prodi-
gals, but now they would lay its
truth to heart. They have personally
proven the fact that there is no sure
road to wealth, comfort or indepen-
dence, for an individual or nation,
but by industry and economy. It is
significant of a return to sanity that
the sales Of thrift and savings stamps
increased Al per cent. in October.
1t is good idea to make armistice
day a milestone which will mark the
beginning Of new era of thrift. It
is that which will restore prosperity
and make life worth living.

RURAL WOMEN DOING
BIG THINGS THROUGH
DEMONSTRATION CLUBS

That the general influence Of home
demonstration work, including both
adult and childrens divisions can
scarcely be oyerestimated, was an out
standing feature Of the program of the
homemakers' section Of the Middle
Tennessee Farmers Institute which
met at Columbia recently The value
Of such work was clearly expressed in
"a paper read before the meeting by
Mrs. Lewis A. Bryant of Marshall
county.
I'm a broad sense" she said, this
work is redireeting our education, I'LL
ing our hearts with new hope and re-
vealing the possibilities Of a higher
and better country life in Its various
social, educational and community &C.
tivities,"
AS representative Of the Marshall
County Home Demonstration Clubs
Mrs. Bryant submitted the following
report on the work done In the county
during the past year;
"There are ten women's home
demonstration clubs and eight boys
and girls clubs, four Of these women's
clubs having been organized In new
communities this year. These repre-
sent fourteen community centers.
Twenty regular monthly meetings are
being held with these clubs.
Va number Of new members have
been added to the boys and girls clubs
and report 415 more chickens raised
this year than last.
'The study Of foods and the balanc-
ing Of meals has been taken up In
many Of the women's clubs Drying
demonstrations have been given and
the women have been much interested
IN this method Of food conservation.
"Steam-pressure canning has been
one Of the chief features In the cOun'
ty, and the number Of Gamers owned
now is just double the number Of last
year, the number now being fourteen

Agriculture was organized March "a

mapped out program Of work planned
to ct the needs Of this county in i'm

Corn is the most important field
crop in the United States. 1t is the
big crop in Tennessee. This crop is
threatened by serious diseases known
as rot of roots, stalks and ears. All
of the different kinds of corn have
been found susceptible to these dis
eases and the most careful estimates
possible indicate that they are caus-
ing greater loss in this country than
any other affecting corn.
According to j. G. McAmis, special
list in agronomy of the Division of
Extension, University of Tennessee,
tbs disease is widely prevalent in
Tennessee this year. This makes it
very important that farmers take
steps at once to control its spread,
and Mr.. McAmis states that the best
method is by careful selection of seed
corn. The actual losses caused by
these diseases can not be accurately
estimated. If it were possible to de-
termine losses caused by poor stands
resulting from planting infected seed
and also the losses due to stunning of
the growth Of the many remaining
plants, with the consequent reduced
size Of ears, it is believed that the
total loss would be fully 10 per cent.
and perhaps more. They are caused
by several organisms and probably by
some other contributing factors.
Selection of well-matured seed at
the proper time seems to be the best
method Of control. Diseased ears, or
even apparently healthy ears from
diseased stalks should not be selected
for seed. Field selection Of seed corn
before the first killing frost is one Of
the best aods Of selecting disease
fire. It It Is nov too late foE
