Increase Cc.*n Yields Cut Production Cost "The average \ ield of corn on our soils ran be raised ma(eriall> through a gi\?ter use ufvovcr crops, seed select ion. l>ctter cultural meth ods. and a more liberal '.ise of a fer tilizer suited to tin* needs of the the plant." stated county agent J. \ . \rrendale yesterday. "Corn is essential on ever) farm I and to raise livestock successfully, a liberal supply of grain is needed,** says Mr. Arrendale. "The cost of the corn fed to livestock will also determine the profits to be secured from it. Since every farmer keeps some livestock it is necessar) that every farm also grow some corn, se curing as large acre > ields at as low a cost as possible. "Recent tests show that the cost of growing corn goes down as the yield per acre increases. i "Through the cooperation of \Y. R. Pass and P. B. Killian. of Haves ville, two of our progressive farm ers, we will conduct five acres in corn demonstrations this year. Care ful records will 1m* kept by Mr. Pass and Mr. Killian of the yield and the cost. Each acre will be fertilized with 300 pounds 16 percent super phos phate, 25 pounds Muriate of Potash and 300 pounds of Nitrate of Soda. "The corn plant needs large quan tities ol nitrogen to produce large yields. If the soil is deficient in nitrogen, it should be applied in a quickly available form, such as Ni trate of Soda. Very little, if any, of the nitrogen should be applied at planting time. The best time to ap ply the Soda is when the corn is knee to waist high. "Farmers who are interested in in creasing their corn yield should vis it Mr. Pass' and Mr. Killian's farms and see these demonstrations," Mr. Arrendale stated. ? Clay Co. News. After you have read this cut it out and place it where you can get to it at any time and you will find it very convenient to refer to when you have some of these things to contend with. R. W.

MURPHY BOY WRITES FROM PHILIPPINES " Moro Jack * Gives Brief Description of Life on Pacific Islands A short description of the life Un cle Sam's Sailor Boys are having <>ri the Philippine Islands in the far awav Pacific is contained in a letter from Jack Lloyd to his sister. Sue Beth Lloyd, recent K. Jack is a Murphy boy who has been practicallx around the entire ?a or Id with- I nele Sams sea lighters. Several \eai> ago he was on a cruise * : I Ku rope and ihe Meditcr ranean waters, and liad the oppor tunity of \ isitinjr Palestine and the P\ ratuids of lvj\pl. \bout two Mai's ? lie returned t ? ? the States and after a fitrb-uirii be?:aii a cruise ? if th?* far I a*!. He spent some time in Ihe Hawiian Islands. where li*> .juod I ?\ for .tore than a mouth expect iuu to he sent to the Irobule zone of China when the different war b?rds of that war torn countrx were raising hail Colmnbia around Shanghai. llowcxer. the trobule drifted l?i other sections of China, ami I nele Sain decided lie had enough fighting men in that aid to pro|c( t his subjects, and Jack's ship was sent to the Philippines. The letter to his sister from Jack sa\s. in part: on will never pet to go with me tin m\ honexinoon unless vou want to go to the mountains. I have been man\ places, but never have 1 seen a place snore lull ol peace and contentment than there in the mountains. awa\ from the rush ol the bus) world. "You ask me to tell you of the P. I? Well. I would never attempt to write what I know in one letter, be cause 1 could write forever, but I can tell you a few things. The peo ple are dark brown and short of build and very simple in their mode of living. Their food consists of rice and fish three times a day. They live in bamboo shacks, ami are very low bred. 'I here xire many white men that live with the women for the sum of $10.00 per month, and l hex live well on that. I could never mix with them. 1 hey are like pigs in a way. but faithful as a dog to a white man. "There are many different kinds. No two provinces speak the same language. There are two islands in the south inhabited by Moros. a non-Christian race who are similar to negroes. But they are a fine race if one unedrstands them. We spent five months down there last year. They are wild like you read about in books. 1 have gone many places among them and never received a scar, where lots of white men were killed. It was luck that got me by, though. 1 met a Moro girl, and she took me to her village whose father was a chief. He wanted me to quit the Navy and live with him and mar ry his daughter, but I made him un derstand that it was wrong for black and white to live together. He gave me a peace token that 1 will always keep as a priceless gift. It is a wonderful dagger made by hand. "Lots of the fellows told me that I never would leave those iflands alive, but here I an;, safe and sound. This may sound like a fairy story, but it's true, and I can prove it by a few friends on board. I am cal led 4Moro Jack' by some." Jack is a reader of The Scout, and he looks forward to its weekly vis its, although it is sometimes nearly a month old by the time it reaches him. Just as we close the forms for press, word comes from Hayesville that 0. L. (Bud) Anderson died sud denly Friday morning. No details were learned, other than the under standing that Mr. Anderson war, working in his garden when the end came.
