The Primary.

There is some discussion among
the voters of the county relative to
the coming Republican Primary. 1t
seems to be the consensus of opinion
that this primary should be held
some time this fall. This seems to
be q better time for the candidates
to make their rounds with the dear
voters. October and November are
monthe with comparatively nice
weather for this section of Tennes.
see, and the health of the candi-
date should be a consideration. If
the primary is held in March this
subjects the candidates to do their
campaigning in January and Feb
,ruary, which are the roughest
months Of the year. While the
Press has no idea of debating to the
committee, yet it does seem to us
that the committee should take in
to consideration the welfare Of the
candidate and voter. ~
Let us have an early primary and
get this trouble off our hands, There
are some people in the county that
are just dying to run.

Method For Killing Peach Tree
BorerS. ..r.

Paradichlorbenzene is a big word
and any material with such a name
ought to kill anything. However,
just at present it is being recon-
mended by entomologists Of the
University of Tennessee as an ex-
cellent insecticide for peach tree
borer,
In controlling the peach tree bor-
er with this material, certain pre-
cautions are necessary in order not
to injure the trees. First of all try
ont the material on small scale to
get acquainted with it, on trees 6
years or older. The borers should
be out of trees younger than years
in the usual way. Use from 8 4
ounce to an ounce of the material
in a narrow continuous band about
2 inches from the tree on smooth
gronnd about the base of the tree.
Dirt free of sticks and stones is them
placed on top of the material 4 to 6
inches deep and packed down. The
best time TO make applications is the
first week in October.
All crystals of paradichlorbenzene
should be at least 1 inch from the
tree. 1t may be purchased from the
Rochester Germicide Company,
Rochester, N. Y, for about 3Ocents

= Time Spent in Selecting Seed
Corn in Field Pays $40 Per
Day.

The selection Of good ears of seed
corn from the field is mattar Of
great Importance to all corn growers.
The kind of seed planted is big
factor in determining what the har-
vest will be the next fall and for
this reason every farmer, if he has
field of corn of good quality should
go into that field and select his seed
for the next year, says J. g. Nc
Amis, agromony specialist, Division
of Extension.
Good field selected seed corn,
properly stored after gathering, is a
valuable crop to have and the sur.
plus above the farm needs will find
a good market. 1t is also well to
keep supply of good seed on hand
for seasons of poor seed. Never take
chances of getting good seed from
the crib, from your neighber, or
from distance if you have good corn
growing on your farm. Good home

profitable to grow. Many farmers
are doing this in Tennessee annual
ly and their corn shows a steady
improvement.
a county agent visited farmer
in a Middle Tennessee county, re-
Gently who had selected enough
seed corn in the field last fall from
stalks having two ears to plant II
acres. In going through the field
the county agent says that he found
that fully two-thirds of the stalks
had two good ears. When the farm
er was asked i he thought that
seed corn in the field had
to do with the crop, he
replied that he certainly felt that it
did and that the selection of seed
corn in the field is the most import
ant job the farmer can find in the
fall of the year. 1t is estimated that
that time so spent is worth $1,000
per day to the farmer. .

spoce to suggestions for better agri-
cultural methods, better live stock,
ETC., and publishes the activities OF
the corn clubs, the pig clubs, the
tomato clubs ard other organiza-
tions, and is always glad to feature
the picnics, institutes and social
gatherings of farmers and their fam
lilies. 1t is always active for better
schools, better churches and better
roads.
1t is the fault of the people thenig
selves if they cannot pick up their
home paper and get all the news of
the community and of the county.

fair it is your home paper that plays
it up and records your progress as
evidenced by the exhibits and the

We get benefit from any move
ment, society or organization in
proportion to the interest we mani
fest in it. Your interest in and sup
port Of your'home paper will always
bring you satisfactory returns,
While local pride ought to prompt
you to support your paper, it should
not be overlooked that your own
prosperity and the prosperity of
your crmmunity can be advanced
by live newspaper. And to he a
live paper, it must have your sup
port.
| am very much gratifed to see a
marked nprovement in the news
papers of the State. I believe the
people are beginning to more fully
realize the important part the news
papers have in the development of
the country. If your home paper Is
not what you think it should be,
see if one Of. the chief xeasons is not
in the neglect Of those who should
give lit their support and encourage
ment. 1t costs money to. run a.
A community without a
live newspaper could not labor under
a greater handicay. Let your home
newspaper know that you will do
your part in its support, and do
not get the notion that you are per-
forming an act of charity when you
pay your subscription. You are
simply doing good business and
good investment.
When you appreciate your home
paper at its true worth, you will
Glass it as one of your indispensable
ocal enterprises. The prosperity of
,he community in which you live
means much to you, Your home
paper means much in the promo
ion of that prosperity.

The New Tax Law

The new tax law is rather
harsh for the present times, but
under the law, the officers have
no other course but to obey. The
1921 Legislature passed a tax
law which requires the County
Treasurer to tax penalty Of 5
per cent on all taxes when delin-
quent. This is in addition to the
l per cent per month interest
provided by law. The above
named law provided that the
penalty would not apply in cases
where all the 1920 taxes are
paid prior to August 1st. Under
this Jaw Saturday, July Both. is
the last day in which taxes can
be paid for the year 1920 without
the 5 per cent penalty. AS pro-
vided by law, notices will be sent
70 all tax payers whose taxes are
delinquent. advising them OF
that fact, and also stating that
unless said taxes are paid forth.
with, a complaint will be filed in
the District Court to adjudicate
the lien of the State on the real
property, and distrain proceed.

$25.35 Is the Daily

How Much Do

A job that pays s25.35 per day
would be considered pretty fair
Job these days, wouldn't it? Fo"
a boy of from IA to Is years of
age that much money would be
consid cred as impossible. Yet
S25 .35 is the daily wage earned
by the high school boy during
the time he is in school, accord.
ing to Theodore Lindquist, head
of mathematics in the Kansas
State Normal school.
This estimate OF the money val
ue OF an education is based on an
investigation made several years
ago by a committee from the
Brooklyn. N. Y, teachers asso.
citation. This committee made q
study of the wages received by
men in various industries of New
York City.
In this investigation the differ
ence in the yearly wage of the
man who quit school at IA and
the one who stayed until he was
18 was found to be $3.50 at Is
years, S275 at 20 years and 1912 =
81 at % years. Differences after
25 years were not compiled 1t is
shown that although one man
stayed in school four years long
er than another, the one with the
education had earned by the time
he was 26 years old, total OF 81 =,
337 80, while the other had earn
ed S5, 1880.
The difference Of $9t2, 80 in
yearly salary at the age of 25 is
equal in earning power to an in
vestment of S18,250 at 5 per cent.
This capital. DR.. Lindquist shows
was earned oy the boy during
the four years re remained in
school from IA to 18 years age.
This gives him wage of Sd, ,562.
30 per year in school, S126 IA
per week or S25 35 per day
The same investigation showed
the average college graduates to
be earning a yearly salary of
2,400 compared with 1887 for
high school graduates and 1857
for those with only an elementary
education. - Albuquerque Jour-
