REAL HOME OF BLUEGRASS.
It Was First Discovered in Indiana
and Kentucky Got It from
the Hoosier State.

II notice by the papers that some
body in the southern part of the state
wants to know where bluegrass first
started" said Prof John Collect, for
mer state geologist. "A great many
people contend that it was first found
grass is native of the Wabash val
ley, in Indiana. It was found by Will
liam Henry Harrison's troops during
that solemn march to Tippecanoe in
1911. Harrison gathered small army
at Ohio Falls and started north. At
Vincennes the gallant heroes realized
that they could not go 200 miles up
the Wabash without feed for their
horses. Gen. Harrison had two cribs
of corn at Terre Haute, and persuad-
ed the men to go on. AS they came
on with hungry horses and scant feed
they found the ground covered with
bluegrass.
"Six miles west of Newport, on the
Collett farm, was found a bountiful
supply of bluegrass. Some places in
the bottom it was growing three feet
high and such feed had never been
heard of by the Kentucky soldier. At
State Line City more bluegrass was
found, and from there to Tippecanoe
the whole line of marcA was covered
with bluegrass.
THE seed was carried back to Ken
lucky and sown there but they could
not make it thrive alone in the warm
soil, and it had to be sown with oats
and rye. Mr.. Sandusky, the father of
the present family of that name, told
me in an early day that no bluegrass
grew in Kentucky until after it was
imported from Indiana. Tom Down
ing, of Terre Haute, was an ardent
admirer of Henry Clay, and once went
to visit him at his home near Ashland.
Ky. After seeing the fine farm we'll
set in bluegrass, Downing suggested
that Mr.. Clay let him have some of
the seed to take back to Indiana.
Tom, don't make fool of your
self, said Clay, the grandsjre of Ken
lucky bluegrass is growing around
your house and in the fence corners
Of your fields. We got the seed from
Terre Haute and the middle Wabash
and after a hard struggle got it to
grow here in its present luxurious
ness" -Indianapolis Journal.

When the plants in the little gar
den patch in the house garden begin
to show the destroying effects of in
Bects and worms. the gardener usually
takes an old tomato can and a stick
and gathers his first crop, which he
proceeds to destroy forthwith. Only as
he continues to harvest these prelim-
mary pestiferous growths has he any
assurance that he will be able to
gather things good to eat later in the
season. But the garden is compare

oleo Law Is Constitutional.

The United States supreme court has
confirmed the decision of the lower
courts declaring constitutional the ma.
tional oleo law which taxes oleo COL
ored like butter. The vote was deci-
sive, being six to three. This puts an
end to the long-drawn-out fight, and
dairymen are to be congratulated. oleo
manufacturers have made every pos
sible attempt to evade the law, carry
ing it from court to court, hoping toll
