KENTUCKY
SHOULD LEND ENCOURAGEMENT
Prof. Scherffius Writes or
Important Bill In
trOduced in
Congress.

Prof. w. H. Scherffius, Agronomist
of the Kentucky Experiment Station
at Lexington, contributes a timely ar
ticle to this paper ON the need for
Agricultural, Education and the bene-
fits to be derived from branch ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
State. AS a bill providing for such
experiment stations is now in course
of preparation, this article is especial
ly opportune. Prof. Scherffius says:
ESTABLISH EXPERIMENT STA.
TIoNs IN KENTUCKY.
House bill No. 534, introduced in
the House of Representatives, Wash
ington, D. c., by Hon. G. r. Davis of
Minnesota, is gaining ground rapidly
in point of favor with the public, as
is indicated by the expressions
through the press of Minnesota, Iowa,
New York. Georgia, Utah, North Caro-
lima, Florida and many other States
of the Union.
WHAT 1T MEANS TO KENTUCKY.
If this bill becomes a law, it will
mean the establishment of ten or a
dozen Agricultural high schools and
the same number of Branch Expert
ment Stations throughout this Com
monwealth. We, as Kentuckians
should anticipate the passage of this
measure and be prepared to receive
the full benefits Of it.
THE SOUTH is IN THE LEAD.
The people of every State in the
Union look with pride to the State
of Georgia for the splendid work she
is doing in Agricultural education

citation for the study and prevention
Of tuberculosis solely for the purpose
of educating the people against the
ravages of needless disease. There
is no comercial interest in the man
agement, nothing is sold and no en-
terprise is promoted. The exhibit is
intended for "well people that they
may keep WE'LL" and it is interesting
to every one because it is of interest
to every one. Practically none are
altogether free from the results Of

ham people are now relying on no
election at this session, and hoping
for an ele( ut the next session,
when the elect enough Dem
ocrats " favor of Beckham
to put h Ellington. 1t is gen.
orally cons now that Mr.. Beck
ham can not win this session, and
his only hope is for an election at the
next session. The fight will be made
by him before the people at the next
election, when Representatives and
Senators are chosen, and it is claimed
by those who favor Mr.. Beckham that
he will come here next time with
more than enough Democratic votes
to land him the winner. He claims
that ne is tire nominee Of the Demo
cratic party, and that he will be able
to win when the people are given a
chance to express themselves.
Z This view is no. taken by those
who oppose Mr. Beckham. They
say that he does not get on the
track and allow D. Democrat 10 he
elected that 4 Republican mag pe
elected. and in the event that ne eiscs
ton tsSheit and Mr.. Beckhane- pres
cents his claims to the people the
Legislature will be Republican, as
the people will not send a majority
of the members of the Legislature
who are favorable to the election OF
Mr.. Beckham. The Democrats are
greatly interested in the outcome, for
it means a great deal to the party
in the State next time. The .Republi-
cans confidently assert that there
will be no trouble for them to elect
a majority of the members of the
next Legislature unless some Senator
Is elected at this time.
Legislation is practically at stand
still now on account of the senatorial
race, and there seems to be little
chance of getting any bills through,
although the supporters of the local
option extension, so as to make it APP
ply to every county in the State, are
working hard. and claim that they
will pass that bill through the House
before another week has passed.
Temperance legislation is being
brought into the two Houses, and is
to play an important part at the ses-
sion. Several bills have been offered
in the two Houses. which are of i'm
portance from standpoint of liquor
OF no liquor in the State, and they
have even gone SO far as to introduce
bill providing for vote by the peo-
pie on an amendment to the Consti-
tuition which will allow the people to
vote on the question of local option
in the State as whole.
ALI of this is mixed up in the sena-
torial race, and is to play an i'm
portant part in the election Of Sen
ator. Nobody can forecast what will
happen, but there does not seem to
be any present chance to elect Sen
ator.

EXPERIMENT STATION WANTED.
We find a growing demand from
the farmers in every section of the
State for cooperative experiments
with the Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton at Lexington, but necessarily the
opportunity to do such work is limited
however. Where these experiments
have been carried on they are greatly
appreciated by the farmers. This bin
provides for direct appropriation OF
$500 from the Federal government
for each of these branch Experiment
Stations, to be supplemented by the
State with land and equipment Of
equal value.
The bill provides that each State
and territory, in order to receive the
benefits of this act, shall accept its;
provisions and shall divide the State
or territory into combined AgricuI-
tural high school and branch Expert
ment Station Districts. The total
number of districts in any given State
to be not less than one for each fif-
teen counties, nor more than one for
each five counties. That the State
must furnish all the land and equip
ment with a value equal to the amount
Appropriated by the Government.
Hon. w. H. Hays, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture, Washington,
says: 1.-THE interest of more than TO-
100000 farm boys and girls and near
ly 100000 city boys and girls are
wrapped up in this bill. 1t provides
for very increased facilities for teach
ing mechanic arts and home econo-
mics in city high schools as well as
Agriculture and home economics in
Agricultural high schools" About
10 per cent of our congressional dis
tricts have already established Agri-
cultural high schools"
This bill if made a law, will pro-
badly surpass in Importance all other
educational bills ever put on the stat
utes, not excepting the Merrill or
Hatch acts, for the reason that this
bill is purposed to reach the great
masses of the people. 1t is to be-
hoped that our present Kentucky
Legislature may see their way. clear
to outline a plan and put into opera
ton for the establishment of Agricul-
tural education and experiment sta
ton work in the various sections OF
the State.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only n way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is iniamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be token out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine out OF
