EARLY PLANTING PROMISING

History will repeat itself in the
Black Patch" this year, from infor-
nation about tobacco planting, that
irrefutable. Several factors COM
Iine to induce a large crop for this
year, but the leading one is the high
price the weed has brought in the last
TWO seasons. 1t has. ever been the
;ase in the tobacco industry, that one
)r more good years invariably bring
tut a bumper crop, but many COM
petent judges thought that the trou-
Dies in the black patch would curtail
planting.
Marshall county already has plant
I'd an average crop and the farmers
nave not finished planting. Reports
from Carlisle, Ballard and other
COUNTIES, from reliable sources, state
hat from one-fourth to one-third
more tobacco is being planted this
year than last. Farmers who stopped
raising tobacco after the disastrous
crop in 1908 when the price paid
was cents, are planting heavily this
year, and other farmers, both in and
out OF any OF the organizations. are
increasing their acreage.
Backing up the inducement of the
high prices. confidence in the inten-
lion OF the state authorities to pre-
serve the rights and liberties of all
citizens. is a strong factor in the
situation. Tobacco men who have
travelled over western Kentucky say
hat careful inquiries confirm the
rumoIs of increased acreage They

w. G. Huntington, of Farmville,

patch" His local representatives are

Madison streets. Mr.. Huntington and
other foreign government buyers
who are constantly Il touch with the
situation. believe that next years
,rop will be larger than any crop in
several seasons.
Indications are that the whole crop

iucement for farmers to increase
Their planting. Interest among to-

gliding river nes Canaan, the Land of

Joshua is a born leader of men and
as such knows what they will do, il
appealed to in the right way. The
River Jordan flows between the Prom
ised Land and his followers. 1t must
be crossed. With the same feeling
that afterward animated Douglas TO
take from his breast the jeweled heart
Of the dead Bruce and fling it over the
heads of the advancing foe. shouting:
Fight, my men. for the heart OF
Bruce"" so Joshua, with the deep re-
ligious consciousness of a Jew, gives
the order to carry forward the Ark of
the Covenant. No one of his follow
ers will dream of tagging behind when
he sees that sacred symbol in front.
And so, following in the footsteps of
the priests, the people, old and young,
cross the Jordan and enter upon
new phase of their national life.
The parallel between our case. as We
stand on the threshold of a new year.
