Pure SEED

At this time of the year the ques-
ton of pure seed should be given
serious attention. This year particu-
larly we should be careful in the Sc
lection of seed. Bad seed generally
means bad year, sometimes an en-
tire failure.
The breeding of seed is just as i'm
portant as the breeding of animals.
Certain seeds are barren and fertile
and it is a waste to plant them. In
every county where there is a farm
demonstration agent efforts should be
made to have him test seeds.
Seeds should be brought from bust
ness men whose guarantee is worth
something. Simetimes an honest
dealer himslef gets fooled in seeds.
Under those conditions he should re-
imbarse tohes to whom he Sells

AL CONVENTION

A feature of girls club work in
Tennessee this year will be bread con-
tests. Interest in this work among

Convention to be held in connection
with the international Livestock
Show at Chicago next fall.

CORN CLUB BOYS PREPARING
TO BREAK PREVIOUS RECORDS

The corn club boys thruout Ten
nessee are getting ready to repeat
their good work of the past two years
in producing increased YIELDS Of corn
per acre. As the clubs are being re-
organized in the various counties, the
boys are adopting approved methods,
and at the close of the season they
will have seen again the value of fol-
lowing instructions of the caunty agri-
cultural agent.
The government crop report indi-
Gates that the average Yield of corn
in Tennessee in 1919 was 20 bushels
per acre. The corn club boys that
year produced an average of Sd 1-2
bushels per acre, costing 46 cents a
bushel. In 1920 the government re-
port indicated that the average Yield
of corn in Tennessee was % bushels
per acre. The club boys during the
same season produced an average of
81 bushels per acre at a cost of az
cents per bushel. During each of these
years the average yield of corn club
boys who submitted complete repart
of their work work was more than
twice the average yield for the State.
This increase yield is not due to
luck, but is a resule of several fac.
ors that make up a practical basYs Of
crop production, says G. L. Herring,
ton, state club leader. The club boys
as a rule used more productive land
They followed wis methods of fertili-
zing. The use of improved varieties
of seed corn has helped to increase
the yield a few bushels per acre. Pre-
pairing thoroly pulverizied seed beds
in which to plant the corn and the
light shallow civilizations haYe alsC
proved their worth.
In 1919 there were 20 boys in Ten
nessee who produced over 100 bush
els of corn per acre. In 1920 the 10C
bushel club was increased to. 80. Tn,
way the earn club boys are goint
after club work for 1921 the humble
producing 100 bushels per acre will
be increased still more if it is a fav
orable season.

"SWAT THE FLY" CAMPAIGN
BEING WACED BY AGENTS

County Home demonstration agents
in Tennessee are waging "swat the
Fly" campaign this fonth and they
are creating considerable interest in
the eradication of the pest in all Sec
tons. Letters are being sent individ-
uals, slides shown at community
meetings, and talks made in schools
Services of physicians, health nurses
women's clubs and other organize
tons have been enrolled in the drive
and it is believed that cleaner, more
comfortable healthful homes will re-
suit because of more screened homes
and fewer flies.

HAPPIER FARM HOMES IN
TENNESSEE AS RESULT OF
DEMONSTRATION AGENTS

Hundreds Of happier, more attrac-
tive and more livable farm homes are
to be found in Tennessee today than
were in the State year ago as a re-
suit of the splendid work done by the
county home demonstration agents in
1920. This is shown by annual re-
ports of the agents which reflect
much progress made in the installing
of conveniences, labor saving devices
and other improvements in homes
that had not known them before. The
agents also rendered valuable asst
ance to the farm women in canning
fruits and vegetables, with poultry,
dairy products, and in organizing
clubs, etc.
Thru the advice land assistance of
81 agents, 40S farm homes were
screened, % lighting systems and 80
water systems installed, 317 kitchen
re-arranged, sol floors improved, 119
sleeping porches built, 1902 farm
lawns improved and 1880 labor saw
