One farmer shipping cream repre-
scented the extent Of dalrying In Tip
ton county, Tennessee, in 1920. At
the end Of 1923, there were more
than 440 farmers In the county ship
ping cream from some 5000 cows, re-
celving for the years production. &C
eording TO reports to the United
states Department Of Agriculture,
more than S250OO0. This develop
ment came as a result Of careful study
Of possibilities for other sources Of
farm income than the one prevalent
crop, cotton. made In 1920 by progress

tural agent. Il was found there was
a good nearby market for cream and
that the county was well adapted to
growing dairy feeds. Pastures have
been established, legumInous hay
grown, proper feeding methods for
milk production learned, and cream
shipping developed as a supplement
tary cash enterprise. Only cows al
ready owned in the county have been
used and only those farmers making
sufficient provision on their own farm
for feeds have been encouraged to
take up dairylng. As these cotton
farmers develop skill in feeding and
management, the production of the
herds Is being built up through the
introduction into the county of pure
bred bulls Of high production lines
Seven Of these pure bred bulls were
brought In for cooperative use last
year and several have been bought by
individuals.

corn culture. Corn Is likely to do well
In plowed-over sod land. especially
where clover has been grown Too
sinr clay soils are not advised for
corn.
Plant ls Heavy Feeder.
Corn Is a heavy feeder" explains
r. NJ Adams. author Of the bulletin.
"on some soils as much as ten or
twelve tons of stable manure together
with 800 pounds Of a fertilizer rich In
phosphoric acid, is used to each acre.
It would be Interesting for you TO fer
tilize onehalf of your plot at this rate
and the rest with one-half as much.
You can then determine whether the
Increased yield on the part more heav-
lily fertlllzed paid for the cost OF the
extra fertilizer.
"In figuring the cost Of the extra
fertilizers you should charge only half
the value Of the manure against your
corn, since much fertility IS left I'm

cial fertilizer may be charged at full
value, though on many soils, especial
ly clayey ones. much Of the plant food
remains more than one year in the
soil.
Fall Flowing Best.
Unless your soil tends to wash or
run together. It is usually best to
pillow In the fall There are several
good reasons for this: First. there Is
more time to spare; second, plowed
land, unless very sandy, retains for
the use Of summer crops more Of the
water from winter rains and SHOWS /;
third. organic material decays better
II plowed under; this is especially
important II sod land is used, as II
commonly is for corn; forth, insects
are exposed to the winter weather and
many perish; this also is especially
important in the cnse of sod land.
which is likely to harbor many injuri-
Gus insects; fifth, most clay soils are
made more loose and mellow by ex-
posure to freezing and thawing.
After blowing, the amount of fur
ther preparation which you will need
to make depends upon the kind Of
soil and the season. You must make
your seed bed loose enough SO that corn
roots can readily penetrate II; yet
compact enough to retain moisture,
and you must keep It free from
weeds"

It is intended especially for Junior
project workers, It will be Of value
