Report Big Drop in

Street car travel fell off heavily
during July. according to figures
made public today by officials Of the

During the first week of the cur

greater on the lines of the Washing

while the Capital Traction company
reported slight increase.

ried 6,30S.153 passengers, or 81 ,446
less than the number hauled IN July.
1920. The Capital Traction company.
during July, lost $4,000 passengers
as compared with July of lastsyear.
In the first eight days of August the
W. r. & E. reports loss of $500
riders from the record Of the same
week last year.
Small Gain for a Week.
The Capital Traction last. week
gained approximately 1900 pas
sengers over the number hauled dur
ing the first week of August, 1920.
These traffic losses are a source of
worry to officials of the w. r. & E.
with a reduction in fare scheduled to
take effect September 1.
The directors of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric will go into special
session at the company offices at 3:15
o'clock this afternoon to consider the
effect of the reduced fare on the COM
pany's finances and to discuss ways and
means of offsetting the expected loss in
revenue.
Milton E. Allies, chairman of the board.
was unable to state this afternoon what
action the directors might take.
Mr.. Allies expressed the conviction
that the courts would hold the new rate
of fare to be confiscatory should the
company take the matter to court, be-
cause, he said, it will fail to produce a

The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1921-04-15

Three thousand farm boys in Tel
nessee every year grow an acre OF corn
each under instructions of the county
agricultural agents The purpose is to
stablish approved methods in the
minds of those who are to be the ft-
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
1925 coo acres cultivated to corn pro-
ducing total of 100000 bushels.
This was an average of 2S bushels per
acre. The ten year average yield end
ing last year was 25h bushels per
acre.
In comparison with this acreage
yield the corn club boys produced an
average of 54h bushels per acre in
1919 costing As cents bushel. In 1920
the club boys yield per acre was in
creased to 62 bushels and the cost was
AZ cents per bushel.
There is nothing ON the farm more
interesting than a good crop of corn
In the boys corn club there are many
Yields above IS bushels per acre
There are frequent yields Of 90 bush
els. tho this is a most excellent crop
To grow 100 bushels on an acre, is q
task that anyone might well be proud
of and that few accomplish. In 1911!
there were 20 boys in the state who
grew 100 bushels per acre. The 1Ot
bushel club for 1920 was composed OF
30 members.
The greatest yield on any one acre
was that secured by James McBee, Jr.
of Knox County, who produced III
bushels. Chester Xix of Hamilton
County was second, with production
of 1859 bushels per acre.
The cost per acre, according to in
formation compiled by the county agri
cultural agents, averaged about q
cents, while the average yield for the
thirty-One acres was 1868 bushels pc
acre.

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
.gu.nent 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 and
otherwise assist in the disposal of The
surplus stock.
