Mr.. Harmon reports that there are
12 Oactive members of boys and girls
pig clubs in Montgomery county.
There are three classes of members
those who are handling pure bred
animals for breeding purposes, those
who have taken bred sows and bred
gifts with the view of raising the
pigs and feeding them out, and
those who toook pigs and are feed
ing them out for. commercial pur-
poses, as was this load of pigs that
were marketed here last week. Mr..
Harmon further says that his club
members were highly pleased and
that they all made money. AS is the
case with the gfdEn ups, some were
better feeders than others and CON
sequently made better profit. Some
of them, after paying for the pig and
the food, made 100 per ,ent profit
on their original Investment, which
demonstrates the profit there is. in
converting corn into pork. Plans are
now being formulated to greatly in
crease the pig club membership in
Montgomery County for another
year.

Select Seed Corn From Standing
Stalks

Stalks
Paving over the ears of corn at
ter they have been stored away in
the crib and picking seed from the
likliest looking ears is method that
belongs to the ox-team and the era
die.
Up to date farmers nowadays
choose their seed corn from the
standing stalks where they can OBJ
serve the growing conditions, and
thus often immensely increase the
value of a given lot of seed.
Wren selecting seed corn in the
field, keep your eye out for the stur-
dy upright stalks of medium height
and thickness, with short joints and
broad leaves carried well down,
which stands in an average soil. Then
look for an ear we'll matured and set
fairly low, of medium size cob, a not
too large butt, and husk protect
ing the tip. Remembering also that
one good ear is better than two nub-
bins, be satisfied with the single good
ear on the stalk when the stand is
thick.
Another advantage of selecting
corn in this way is that stalk char
acteristics can be noted and selections
made accordingly. For instance, the
more or less hereditary tendency to
produce suckers can be reduced by
selection, stalks blown over by storms
are inherently weak and should be
avoided; under no circumstance
should ears from diseased stalks be
considered.
When selecting corn in the field i
is often hard for the wrower to pa!
as much attention as he would like
TO the ear characteristics. 1t is 1
good plan, therefore, to select two o,
three times as much seed as is need
ed, and to go over it again in tn,
spring with an eye to ear character
istics. Often growers carry forwart
good seed from one spring to III
next in case of emergencies tina
might arise from unfavorable wealth
er or storing conditions.

TENN, FARM NEWS

sows for the market, according to the
specialists of the Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee. The
ratio between the prices of hogs and
corn makes this a commendable prac-
tice. With corn at present prices, s
or cent hogs should return liberal
profits, and farmers who raised a
good spring pig crop should consid-
er themselves fortunate. With an
other big corn crop practically as
sured, the production of fall pigs has
been encouraged. While hogs may
not hold their present high market po-
sition, it would take a material drop
in prices to make feeding unprofit-
able at present corn values. Men
who have gone through similar peri.
DDS of depression in years past say
that once again hogs have come TO
the rescue of the farmer Time and
again hogs have "rooted" the farm-
er out of distress, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe they will do it
again. An abundance of corn plus
good pork prices bid fair to hold up
the morals of the farmer, provide
him with money to pay his interest
and taxes, and encourage him to
stand ready for another year.
Farm Breeding Pen
The question of special breeding
pen on the farm is apt to bring forth
doubts of its being workable plan
However, it is easy enough and can
be managed in at least two ways that
any farm woman can carry out, says
Mrs. Kate M. Wells, poultry special
list, Division of Extension. The most
important point is furnishing a separ
ate house or room for the roostinl
and laying quarters for the breeders
This can most easily be done by put
ting a partition in one end of the
poultry<ho large enough to house
the breeders. Twenty five hens car
be housed in ski or 6x12 room
arranging it as to roosts, nests, feet
hoppers and water vessels as in thu
larger laying house.

Calf Club Boys to Exhibit at Big
Fairs

Twenty prize beef calves have
been fed and cared for since early
last spring by club of Hamblen
County boys organized in accordance
with the rules of the University Di-
vision Of Extension. The boys have
been guided by the advice and per-
sonal supervision of County Agent
D. G. Stout of Morristown, who states
that now as the feeding contest draws
near close, the calves are rounding
out in real show shape.
The animals will be assembled in
Morristown for county contest
September 21-23. During the few
days they are held in Morristown the
boys will shear their ears, manicure
their hoofs and groom them for real
debut into bovine society at the East
Tennessee Division and Chattanooga
fairs. Mr. Stout and the proud own
ers of the calves, as well as all en-
terprising cattlemen of Hamblen
County are in hopes of giving visi-
tors to the fair real treat in the
livestock show. {,
Seventeen of the calve are Aber-
deem Angus and three are Herefords.
At the beginning of the feeding con-
test they weighed an average of 470
pounds. After having been in the
hands of the boys five and a half
months many of them now weigh
more than 900 pounds. They are
about Is months old and will be
classed as real baby beeves.
Community Club Helps Get Preacher
According to recent report from
F. c. McCuskey, agricultural agent
for Franklin county, the community
organization at Center Grove has as
sisted in securing a preacher for that
community, and the organization of
a Sunday school, andtat recent
meeting raised $500 to help pay
the preacher for the next six months.
This is another demonstration of the
good that can be accomplished when
people Of a community will act as a
unit.

Upon receipt of the letter MIR.

purpose of hearing the report of

which has been instrumental in
having plans made for the con-
struction of the viaduct, and a.
which ]. B. McCullock will give

terested in the matter is urged to
be there. The matter of a hearing
before the public service commits
sion will also be taken up.
The letter from Mr.. Buchtel to
McCroskey follows in part:
''It appears that any move for
the elimination of the grade cross
ing at the point mentioned should
have consideration as well the
removal of the grade crossing over
the Silverton road adjacent to the

course require certain road chan
ges, but it seems very advisable in
view of the heavy traffic sustain
ed by both these highways.
