Cultivate early with har- row or weeder. Other two or three cultivations must be shallow. Lay-by when corn s knee high. Many good corn crops are damaged by late deep plowng. A few weeds will damage the corn much less than pruning valuable feed roots. B >y County Agent L. C. Adamu The 4-H Club is coming along slowly but surely; its of¬ ficers attend the County 4-H Council meetings to help speed up its progress . Probably the group that has contributed more to the suc¬ cess of the school’s projects is the Athletic Board which has raised approximately $1,000 toward expenses of the athletic field, dressing room, etc. Members of this board are: Harmon Gray, Hilliard Ste¬ phens, Robert Freeman, Char- Ue Pike, Orville Gilbreath, John Murphy, Claude Smith, Dock Stephens, J M. Craw- ford, Luke Ivey, Ralph Yell Harvey Rochester, Ernest Smith, Newell Ellis, Glen Buck- ner, Mr. Hardeman and Mr. Albertson. Davis is certainly to be com¬ mended for its progress the past few years. It is a place where the community and the school go hand in hand toward bigger and better achieve¬ ments.
