"A Blessing in DISGUISE.

The action of the tobacco growers of
the Burnley District, through their rem
resentatlves at Winchester about two
weeks ago, has caused considerable dis
cussIon on the question of the effect If
Will have on the tenant and the com
munlty at large. 1t is our opinion that
this step VIII mean more to the farm
erS OF Central Kentucky, landlord and
tenant, than anything that has been
done In recent years. The fact is. the
farmers have devoted entirely too
much time to the cultivation of to-
baccn and have ignored other crons
that will prove to be more profitable
We have the greatest producing coun-
try on earth, but while we have been
depending principally on tobacco and
working the life out of the ground and
in great dergee, the life out of the
tobacco raiser, the farmres of other
States who are less favored with fer.
tile soil have been prosperous raising
oIher products, with a great deal less
hard work and worry. Now, as it is
dehnlteiy settled not TO raise any to-
bacco next year, our farmers will turn
their ATTENTION to other GRIPS, and at
: the end OF the year we predict that
they will realize that the necessity of
cutting out the 1908 crop will be a
( blessing in disguise. They will be
! convinced that they have been making
a great mistake in the past of depend
ing. solely on tobacco and will never
again rely so much on this crop. but
will learn that with the same energy
heretofore spent in raising tobacco can
be turned to more profitable account in
the growing of other crops. AS a rule,
those who have grown tobacco in this
section for the past eight or ten years
have neglected everything else. The
garden was only worked when the time
could be spared out of the tobacco
field, the COW was MIXED irregularly
and fed anything handy; ;" the chick
ems and hogs had to root hog or die
and with this neglect about these
things, but few tenants would have
made living for their families ra1s-
ing tobacco without them. With the
crop out of the way, two stalks of corn
Will grow where one did before, the
garden will produce enough and to
spare; the chickens will receive more
attention, and two eggs will be gath
cred up each evening in the place of
one before. Farmers will have more
time to read, and keep in touch with
modern methods of farming, and the
experience of one year with the tobacco
crop eliminated, will enable them to
realize that with more brain work
mixed with less manuel labor they can
accomplish far better results than rails
ing tobacco. News.

Advices received at New York from
England as to the departure of the
huge Cunard steamer Mauretania from

maiden transatlantic passage say that
the event will be attended with ar, in

marked the Lusitania's first departure
