manager what you will need during the coming season and what you will

farming population of the county.
Malce your own store your headquarters while in town- Incidentally

STORE Do not forget, either, that the stockholders get a dividend on tl e

A Recent Conversation
In Macon County
"Daddy, I want ' to join the 4-H
club."
"What in thundcration you want
to join that durn thing for?"
"Why, Daddy, lots of other boys are
joining and I want to make some
monev of my own."
"What does it cost to join?" ;
"Nothing to join, Daddy, but I need
five dollars to buy me a pig."
"Nothing doin'. Me and my daddy
and his daddy got along without any
of these newfangled clubs and I ain't
a goin' to spend no money to buy you
nothing." '
With a sob the boy went away.
Another Conversation
"Daddy, I want to join the 4-H
club."
"All right, son, but what is that
4-J club you want to join and what
is its object?"
"Not 4-J, Paddy, but 4-H. It means
heart, hand, head and health."
"Sounds pretty good, son, but where
do I come in?"
"Well, you see, it is like this: Mr.
Harris, the county agent, has been aVl
around over the county and has suc
ceeded in getting 315 boys and girls
to join. The members of this club
are going to raise chickens pigs,
potatoes and just everything, but it
costs a little money to get started."
"What are you figuring on raising,
mv boy ?"
"Why, I want to get 200 thorough
bred chicks and start in with them.
I'll also need a brooder house and a
brooder, and if you will get me these
chickens and things. I'll pay you back
out of my profits."
"Fair enough, son. You go and see
the county agent and have hiin order
... . i fin . e ii L'lt
tcresf in such" things. Jusf depend
upon your old dad to back you to
the limit."
"Whoops" said the boy, "I've got
the best daddy in the world."

"Hold on there, Daddy," said daugh
ter. "I'm going to join that club,
too."
"Why, I didn't know that 4-Z club
was a highbrow woman's club."
"It's not a 4-Z club and it's not a
highbrow club. Brother told you it
is, a 4-H club and he told you what
it means."
"All right. You kids have got me
hooked. What do you want?"
"I want some turkeys and I'm go
ing to let Mrs. Walter Elliott know
she has been in a race before this
year closes." v
"All right, daughter, go to it. But
I warn you now that Mrs. Elliott is
going1 to be mighty hard to beat when
it, -comes to raising turkeys. See Mr.
Harris about what you want."
LEARN VALUE OF
YOUR TIMBER
It pays to know the volume of tim
ber in a farm oodland before making
a sale, says the Forest Service,
United States Department of Agri
culture. If the farmer does not know
how to estimate standing timber, he
would do well to call in expert as
sistance, which can often be obtained
through the county agent or state ex
tension forester. The value of such
an estimate is shown by the experi
ence of a woodland owner in Wil
liamson county, Tenn. The highest
bid which he received for his tract
of hardwood timber before it was
estimated was $2,700, which he wp.s
inclinecl-to -accept. However, he cm -
ployed an experienced cruiser to esti
mate the timber and assist him in
finding other bidders. Within three
months the tract was sold for $6,
500, half in cash and half due in six '
months. The cruiser . charged $500
for his services, and the owner thus
netted $6,000, or $3,300 fore than he
would have, obtained without securing
assistance.
Bees' make honey and honey is
money. The owner can sit .on the
fence, watch the dough fly in, give
his neighbor a grin, as the bees
gather dollars and cents.
