TENNESSEE CORN CLUB
BOYS AVERAGE 54.4
BUSHELS COSTING ACC

Last year the corn club boys of Ten
nessee produced an average of 54.5
bushels of corn per acre. If it is val
ued at $1.5O per bushel, the crop from
each acre was worth $S145.
Each boy kept an account of the
cost of growing his corn, which aver
aged $25.07 per acre. When we deduct
this from the value of the crop, there
remains a net profit of $5638.
In order to give an idea as to the
methods followed by some of the more
successful corn club boys in growing
their corn, a few of their records will
be printed during this season. 1t is
hoped that their methods will be
source of information to others who
will be able to produce equally good
results. Until we apply ON large
scale the most practical methods used
by successful farmers and corn club
boys, we will not reap the full benefit
of the great work the county agents
are doing.

HOW CORN CLUB
BOYS MEASURE LAND

Every member of the boys corn club
should measure his acre of land be-
fore it is planted. Too often the acre
is estimated, and when checked later
in the season by the county agent or
committee, it is frequently found that
a boy is competing with less than an
acre. This makes it difficult for him
to win in his contest, and his report
can not show the yield from a full
acre
There are 1850 square feet in one
acre of land, and if it is square each
side must be POO feet. To find the area
of square, multiply one side by itself
Example: 2O9y 209=43,6S1 This is
the closest we can get to square acre
without using fractions.

SEED CORN SHORTAGE

(By J. c. McAmis, Agronomy Special
list, Division of Extension, Univer.
sity Of Tennessee.)
In some quarters there is a fear thar
there will not be enough good corn to
90 around in the spring. In Tennessee
the first planting of corn was drowned
out by excessive rains and then
parched by summer droughtS. The late
planting did we'll, tut was caught in
the field by heavy fall rains and an
overflow. Certainly not all the corn
in the many cribs will grow, and much
of that which does grow will produce
a weak stalk. Our experience in the
spring of 1917 ought to show us the
way out of this difficulty; the situation
looked much darker than it does now
The corn went into the crib wet and
before it dried it frOze and remained
in this condition until spring. The
terminating power was destroyed and
much of the corn rotted before the
farmers were aware of the danger
Even under these conditions there was
was mixed in with that which would
not. 1t was simply matter of search
ing out the good seed. 1t is a safe bet
that there is plenty of seed now, if we
begin a diligent search for it. The
search should have begun last fail, but
it is better late than never. Normally
it is doubtful if it is worth while to
test seed corn for termination, but in
off years, such as this, it is the only
safe plan. 1t is very simple and in
expensive thing to do. The only way
to know whether seed ear will grow
is to try a few grains from different
parts of it. There are several methods,
all of which are good If you are in
doubt, ask your county agricultural
agent or write the Division of EXten.
sion for Instructions.
Good seed is necessary for a good
crop. Homegrown seed of high
yielding variety is best. Do not lose
your head and buy untried varieties
from distant points If your neghbor
has better seed than yours, and of a
good variety, use that However, it is
likely that his crop is in about the
same condition as yours, and that your
safest plan is to stake your chances
on the best seed corn in your crib, but
be very sure that you find the best
1t is always well to be trying out
new varieties in an isolated place, but
1t is never safe to use an untried va
riety for the whole crop.

LUMBER DEMAND
AROUSES SOUTH
Dealers in Alabama Looking Forward
to Heavy Spring Business With
Yards of Northern Cities
Running Low.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1.-The
lumber industry, stimulated by ma
tion-wide construction boom, is com
ing into its own, and the south is at
tanning dominant position in the in
dustry. In spite of adverse weather
conditions, car shortage, the labor sit
uation and other retarding factors.
lumbermen of this section anticipate
heavy spring business.
Because of the heavy SHOWS and Sc
we're cold in the north, the retail yards
of that section were unable until re-
Gently to move the lumber already on
hand. But stocks in the north are
now being depleted, and it is even
feared locally that the demand will
again exceed the supply, due to heavy
rains in Alabama which have greatly
hindered operations.
The car shortage is considered ex-
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-05-01

tremely serious in this industry, as
well as in many others. The same
conditions in the labor question that
arise elsewhere also are factors here.
The great demand for new buildings
to solve the housing problem, coupled
with the other cause referred to, has
been responsible for making lumber
prices high, but it is also serving to
place the south very near the top
among manufacturers.
Lumber manufacturing has always
ranked third among national indus
tries, but today occupies an even more
i'm portant position, and its main ac-
|tivities are in the south.
The demand is universal, the south
ern lumbermen being called upon to
furnish lumber for. rebuilding devas-
tated Europe, as well as to supply the
greater part Of the nations needs.
This is not alone true of construction
material, but hardwood for some OF
the largest furniture manufacturing
companies in America now comes
from the timbered lands of Alabama
and other southern states.
A part of the present heavy demand
for lumber and timber is for derrick
construction in the oil fields of Texas,
according to lllmbermen. One hun
bred thousand derricks will eventual
ly be built ON proved lands, and 1t is
estimated that $4,000 feet of lumber
will be required for each derrick.
At the present time the lumber in
dustry Of Alabama gives employment
to $4,000 persons, or thirty-two per
cent of the total number engaged In
industry of all kinds; it pays twenty
five per cent OF the total salaries and
wa,ges paid to Industrial employees; it's
capital amounts to fourteen per cent
OF the total industrial capital en-
pIoyed in the state: it's annual pro-
ducts are worth S26 900, 900, or eigh-
teen per cent of the total value of all
manufacturers, and this is exceeded
only by the value of agricultural pro-
ducts.
