Big RETURNS
FROM POOLING.
Muhlenburg County Farmer
Clears 500 on One
Load.

Mr.. ]. F. Doss, manager and sales
man for the Muhlenburg county, dis
trict A. s. OF E., reports that the de-
livery of tobacco has started In his
county and that the people are well
pleased, the first load was taken in at
eight cents straight, bringing the own
er $102.4O. He also reports that MT
John Lee, of Depoy, took in one load
that brought him the nice sum OF $179
after deducting all charges for grader
fees and other costs, and declares
that this was a clean profit of 500
over the price that prevailed prior to
the organization of the American so
ciety and the pooling plan. From the
profits of this one load OF tobacco 1t Is
plain that this gentleman can well
afford to pay all expenses of remaining
member of the A. S. of E., for
long lifetime, and this report is only
one of many that Mr.. Doss might be
able to give us.
Muhlenburg county has only one
organization and made about the first
sale this year. Notwithstanding they
have lots of thin land in their county
the tobacco sold for SO to Sc for leaf
and Tugs and So for trash.
The Bowling Green district, strictly
a one-sucker type, sold at SO to IS the
same as this district got or Green
River Strips" a tobacco with a repu-
tation all over the world.
Surely all can see what one organi-
cation and that one-the A. s. of E.
can do" F. X. MOSELEY.

TAKES CENSUS OUT POLITICS
| Taft's Sweeping order-Merit Alone
| Must Rule, He Says.

Beverly, Mass.-President la1t mas
taken the thirteenth census out OF poll
tics. In a striking letter addressed to
Secretary Nagel, the president ordered
that the political activities of all census
sunervisors shall be limited to casting q
vote. Any further participation III poll
tics, the president declares, shall be re-
r., rded as sufficient cause for immediate
dismissal.
The rule had already been laid down
nv the president, as told in these dis
matches, that merit alone would be con
| sidered in the selection of the supervls'
ors. In political circles this was re-
oarded in a more or less Pickwicklan
sense. But now comes the formal order
from the president, indicating very
clearly that the thirteenth census Will BIZ
m unlucky one for the politicians.
The actual work of collecting the cen
sus will begin on April IS next, and VII
consume about thirty days. About thre'
months preliminary work devolves upo'
the supervisors, however, II there WI
no about six months of work for ther
after the enumeration has been con
pleted.

tons of pea hay per acre, worth $lo
per ton, adding another $50 per acre
to the proceeds of the same ground
and he has planted it again in Irish

the lake into the canal, to be used
for irrigating rice or other crops, as
occasion may require. After it is re
