ly made to the Division of Extenn
sion and one Of the striking points IN
the evidence presented is the wide
difference in conditions surrounding
the lives of children whose parents
are farm owners and children whose
parents are tenants. In regard to
this the reporte has the following to
say;
"Onwers have nearly three times
as large an income as tenants, al
though families of each are practi-
cally the same size. Children of
farm owners are not kept out of
school to work on the farm as tenant
children are. Tenants move about
much more, hence they do not have
the comforts and conveniences in
their homes that they might have if
their tenure were longer. Because
of the system, tenants are forced to
borrow at high intrest rates and are
thus restricted in the manner in
which they may purchase their sup
plies and dispose of their crops. They
get a great deal less from the farm
for their tables than owners do. Their
water supply is less protected. Few
er of their homes have screens and
toilets. Their opportunities for rec
reation are more limited. They read
less because they have less to read.
The opportunity that tenants
children have for education, health,
recreation, and the enjoyment of a
normal childhood, is very limited.
The evidence shows that many of the
economic factors which enter into
conditions surrounding their lives,
are below a minimum standard for
decent living. This ought not to be
for any group of people. Accord
ing to the 1910 census, tenants COM
prise a little more than Al of the
rural population of Tennessee.
Hence, the problem of giving ten
ant children their inherent rights is
serious, not only because of the ex-
tremely bad conditions under which
they are living, but also because of
the large number involved. These
children ought to have a better
chance than they now have"
One remedy for this the report
says, is for the tenant to move less,
as conditions were found to be much
better where the tenants did not
! move often.

Take Care of Pullets For Winter
Egg Production

1t is common knowledge among
poultrymen and farmers that pullets
lay the winter eggs. The poultry
man who manages his flock proper
ly should have his pullets coming in
to production at. the time the hens
cease production. During the fall
and winter months, when the major
ity of hens stop laying, the demand
for fresh eggs exceeds the supply,
and prices always rise. The poul-
tryman who keeps his production
high during September, October, No
vember, and December sells his eggs
on good market, and records kept
by demonstration farms prove that
such poultrymen make greater pro-
fits than the one who produces eggs
only in the spring when eggs are
selling at their loves price.

tending Short Course at Uni
versity of Tennessee

The annual short course in agri:-.
culture for farmers and home eco.l-
omics for women opened at the Uni
versity of Tennessee Monday, JAM
uary 3, with a splendid attendance
in each.
The different sections of the
state are we'll presented and all are
taking a deep interest in the courses.
Four courses in agriculture are being
given, including general farming,
animal husbandry, dairying and hor-
ticulture. About equal interest is
being shown in these subjects. These
courses give practical instruction by
means of lectures, laboratory and
field exercises.
The enrolment in the home econ
omics courses is much larger than
ever before. This course is open to
both farm women and home demon
stration workers and it offers prac-
teal study of farm home problems,
covering all the activities of the
housekeeper.

SueeeSsful Club Boy Attending I'm
iversity

Successful Club Boy Attending I'm
ivsrsity
1t is possible for a large percent
age of the farm boys to attend the
state universities and study agricul-
ture or other subjects in order to
better prepare themselves to be far
mers, teachers, or for any positions
requiring higher training. Club work
is reminding many boys of this and
is inducing them to go to the state
institutions for this purpose.
A specific example may be cited
in the case of Paul Reeves of Knox
County, Tennessee who got his first
inspiration to attend college in the
club work. He joined the corn club
in 1916 and the following year pro-
duced S2.6 bushels of corn on one
acre. The next year he produced
69.9 bushels and raised a purebred
Lpig. In 1919 Paul was one of the
20 boys in Tennessee to produce
over 100 bushels of corn per acre,
his exact yield being 108 bushels. 1t
was this year that he sold through
the club 60 bushels of good seed corn
which considerably increased his
earnings for the years work.
In the spring of 1919 Paul gradu-
ated at the Farragut High School
That fall he entered the University
of Tennessee. He is still a great be-
lever in club work and believes that
many boys ar being induced to go
to college as a result of their clubs.
Paul was president of the club in his
community two years and desires that
the boys who are there now COMPLETE
their high school and come to the
University. He is doing second years
work this session and expects to re-
main until he graduates.

Dynamiting bitches Saves Much
Time


w. F. Story, Warren County agri-
cultural agent reports considerable
work in blowing out open bitches
with 60 per cent nitro-glycerine dy-
Mantle. Demonstrations were held
in the county recently, and were well
attended by the farmers, some of
whom have since ordered consider
able dynamite for draining fields on
their farms, says Mr.. Story. The
demonstrations were great success
in that they showed the farmers that
an open ditch can be dug with dyna-
mite at a lower cots than it can be
done with horse and scraper, since
the bitches are blown out much more
quickly with dynamite than the same
number of men working with teams
could have accomplished it. 1t is
estimated that a crew of men can
blow out a mile of 4x8 foot ditch in
less than a day. The people of this
county have become so interested in
this project that there have been
several calls for demonstrations in
ditchipg. Swamps, practically value.

and draining, been made available
for crops this next year.
