The wheat crop of Kentucky is es
timated at 100000 bushels, 1000,
900 of it in Christian county. The
rize of 40 cents means S4,4OO,O0O to
Kentucky and 100000 to Christian
county. 1t is true this price is fixed by
the rafting skeletons of the victims Of
starvation in other lands, but it is an
i wind that blows nobody good. We
have the wheat TO sell and others
must have it and spectators have so
far been unable to keep the price
from adjusting itself to the great law
of supply and demand.

DR.. Whitsitt for upholding doctrines

school for the instruction of Baptist
ministers, and Baptists all over the

head for such an Institution as the
Southern Theological Seminary. Dr.

fact that the trustees who elected him
are a self-perpetuating bcdy who can.

A FARMERS EXPERIENCE.
An Interesting Account Of How Corn Land
Wheat Was Made to Yield z
Bushels per Acre.

A South Christian farmer was in
our office Friday, July %, and stated
that he sowed u acres of corn land
wheat; on SO acres he sowed Armer
Bone Meal 100 lbs. to the acre Nine
acres were sowed without fertilizer.
The 63 acres and the 9 acres were all
in the same field and was the same
grade and character of soil. Sixty
three acres produced II bushels more
per acre than the 8 acres that were
not fortified He figured the invest
ment out as follows: Fertilizer used
was Armor Bone Meal. He used 100
pounds per acre on 63 acres. This
cost $3.50 per 100 pounds or $94.50 for
he 60 acres.
lie sold his wheat for 65 cents per
bushel and gained IL bushels per acre
on 63 acres by using the fertilizer, or
693 bushels.
This at 65c pei bushel equals $450.45.
Fertilizer $500 lbs at 1.50 cost $3.50
Net profit from using fertilizer $355.05
And that is not all he was told by
the parties who received his wheat it
was the best No. 2wheat they had re-
ceived. This gentlemaD's name will
be furnished our patrons on applica
ton and his statements are borne out
by the man who threshed his wheat.
He says that he has used this brand
of fertilizer for two years with the
same satisfactory results.
This is one of many similar instan-
ces we could cite of advantage of jul
dicious fertilizing. A careful test
will bring you the same results.

In this statement Capt White only re-
iterates what was said on the floor Of the
House in support of the bill. 1t does not
disprove the statement made in these dis
patches that there is no limit placed on the
expenditure of money by the National
Guard when on duty. Capt White add
ed: THE amount of money to be spent by
the National Guard will be positively fixed
by the appropriation bill" No statement
to the contrary has been made as to that.
again you say" said Capt White, that
there Is every evidence that the money is
being used by the coal operators for the
passage Of the bill. In reply to this, beg
to say that not one cent has been contri-
buted or spent for this purpose except by
the officers of the Guard. who are in
splred by their patriotism and love for the
Guard and their desire to see the men I'M
der them paid for their time, which they
give to the State I, for one, have spent
about S25 of my own money in the interest
of the bill, and do not know whether I
will be in the Guard after the 4th Of March,
as the command Of our regiment goes into
other hands on that day. and no one
knows who will be retained on the staff"
The correspondent Of the Register may
have been misinformed as to where the
money comes from, but there seems to be
no controversy about the fact Of its pres
ence.
