ing them to have no respect nor re-

Three thousand farm boys in Ten
nessee every year grow an acre of corn
each under instructions of the county
agricultural agents. The purpose is to
establish approved methods in the
minds of those who are to be the fu-
ture farmers, with the hope that these
same methods will be practiced on the
farm basis when the present boys be-
come farmers.
Tennessee might be considered one
of the corn belt" states, tho there are
several other crops that are almost
equal to the corn crop, and our corn
crop is considerably lower than that in
some other states. In 1920 there were
3,325,OO0 acres cultivated to corn pro-
ducing a total of 80, 100000 bushels
This was an average of % bushels per
acre. The ten year average yield end
ing last year was 2514 bushels per
acre.
In comparison with this acreage
yield the corn club boys produced an
average of 5416 bushels per acre in
1919, costing 46 cents a bushel. In 1920
the club boys yield per acre was in
creased to g. bushels and the cost was
IL cents per bushel.
There is nothing on the farm more
interesting than good crop of corn
In the boys corn club there are many
yields above IS bushels per acre.
There are frequent yields of 80 bush
els, tho this is most excellent crop.
To grow 100 bushels on an acre, is a
task that anyone might well be proud
of n6 hot Oh II
there were 20 boys in the state who
grew 100 bushels per acre. The 100
bushel club for 1920 was composed of
80 members.
The greatest yield on any one acre
was that secured by James McBee, Jr.,
of Knox County, who produced 1T
bushels. Chester Xix of Hamilton
County was second, with a production
Of 1859 bushels per acre.
The cost per acre, according TO in
formation complied by the county agri-
cultural agents, averaged about %
cents, while the average yield for the
thirty-One acres was 1868 bushels per
acre.
Least Expense 1s Cents Here.
lawrence Brown and Arthur Brown
OF Hamilton county produced their
corn at the least expense per acre, 10
cents.
Another interesting fact about the
records is that 20 of the 81 boys who
made 100 bushels or more per acre,
used Meals Paymaster Corn. Other
varieties used were Boone County
White. Hickory King, Little Willis,
MoSby's, North Carolina. Webb's Wat
son and Tennessee Red Cob.

MANY OWNERS OF SCRUB
SIRES ARE LOSING MONEY

There are thousands of farmers all
over Tennessee who are breeding
scrub cattle which if the cost of feed.
pasture and labor incidental to their
keep were figured, would show consid-
cradle loss, say livestock specialists Of
the Division of Extension. When
these same farmers are approached
and efforts made to interest them in
the purebred business, they state that
it takes too much capital to start in
the purebred business The same ar
gument will apply to anyone wishing
to start farming or any other line Of
business if it applies to the purebred
business.
The successful man of the twentieth
century is he who has more energy,
initiative and courage than his neigh
bors.
In almost every section of Tennes-
see there are local Associations of
Breeders of the various breeds of live
stock which are formed for the pur-
pose of encouraging and assisting 9TH
er breeders of the same stock. Most
of these associations conduct sales
otherwise assist in the disposal 0
surplus stock.

The first state corn show for Tennes-
see was held in Nashville last Deem
Der. Only the corn club boys were
eligible to compete in the prize con-
tests. There were 81 country corn
clubs represented in the show Each
county exhibit was composed of so of
the best ears taken from the respective
county corn shows 1t was a collection
OF well selected corn, and $225.OO in
prizes were paid the boys by the Union
Stock Yards at Nashville
The four predominating varieties of
corn grown in Tennessee were well
represented in the state corn show.
These varieties were Hickory King.
Nebb's Watson, Little Willis, and
Meals Paymaster. One of these four
varieties will be found adapted to al
most every type of soil in the state.
The boys corn clubs are now being
reorganized in Tennessee for 1921 and
plans for the next state corn show
which will be held at Nashville in con-
nection with the Fat Stock Show are
abOnt the same as last year and five
prizes totaling $50 will be awarded to
club members each of the four districts
of the state.
With the amount of announcement
being given the farm boys and the way
they are entering into the work, it is
predicted that Tennessee will have
more efficient corn growers in the fu-
ture and that the production of corn
will be materially increased.

GENTLENESS AIDS
LIVE STOCK

The practical value of treating live
stock kindly is discussed by a.Virginia
livestock owner in a letter to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. "All cattle buyers" he re-
marks, "Know how great is the drift
in shipping cattle. Very much of this
loss is due to digestive troubles caused
by excitement and fear incident to
travel
Keep all livestock as quiet and
make them as gentle as possible and
your feeding costs will be noticeably
reduced. Try this suggestion with
one litter of pigs
at will abundantly repay any live
stock breeder" he adds, ito spend
great deal of time going out quietly
among his animals and letting them
make the Announcements. He will be
surprised how soon he can begin to
put his hands on them After they
realize his hands are not TO be dreaded
they viii soon enjoy gentle rubbing
or scratching. When animals are shell
tered from annoying or exciting oc-
currences they digest feed better and
1t takes much less to keep up normal
growth and fat production"
