EXTRACTS FORM LETTER TO
NEWSPAPERS

THAT the growers, the community
and county In which they live, as well
as every business interest OF the state,
have been greatly benefited by the
growers organization you must ad
nit.
THAT the 1909 pool is a still greater
benefit and a more complete success
is evidenced by the price at which
tobacco outside of the pool is being
bought by the Independent Manufac-
turers, commission warehouse COM
panies and spectators. 1t is positive
assurance that the Burley Tobacco So
ciety. backed as 1t is by at least GO
Der cent of the growers of Burley to-
bacco, is now In position to demand
and receive fair and "emIneratiye
prices for the tobacco owned by its
members.
The average price OF IA TO 10 cents
per pound now being paid for unpooled
tobacco is in itself an admission that
the growers in the Burley pool are
In a position to sell their tobacco at
a substantial advance over the prices
named for unpooled tobacco.
Would speculator pay Is cents
per pound for tobacco In the barn-to
bacco not yet cured and in some cases
tobacco he has never seen-if he were
not fully convinced that the Burley
Society pool would enable him to sell
1t at an advanced price?
Would a manufacturer paw the
same price for individual crops II he
were not sure that he would be COM
PEELED to pay more for the pooled to-
bacco later on?
Just how much he will have to
pay for the pooled tobacco depends en-
tirely upon the length of time the
purchase OF the pooled tobacco Is de-
layed.
mo specified price has been set on
the pooled tobacco. 1t is In the hands

of pooled tobacco will be governed by
the price set by trade on outside to-
bacco.
1T is evident that the trust consi-
der 10 cents per pound smaller price
than 1t viii have to pay for pooled
tobacco, otherwise It would not touch
IL. for there is no doubt but that every
pound of tobacco produced In 1909
will be needed by the manufacturers

Burnley Tobacco Society has the advan-
tage of knowing this condition exists.

that Burley tobacco is worth only s

1.-THE larger portion of the credit

Wheat Raising in the Mountains.
CLARK WILSON.

How many farmers last spring and
sumner bad to buy flour? Doesn't 1t
go pretty hard with a poor man to
buy flour at ninety. ninety-five cents
and a dollar a sack. AS | am a
mountain farmer l know something
about the scarcity Of money and how
difficult it is to get hold of some
times.
There is not farmer in the noun
tains of kentucky who cannot raise
whea., and raise enough to do him,
If he only will go at it in the right
way. The average mountain farm is
capable of producing twenty bushels
of wheat to the acre If it is put in
as 1t ought to be. Is there one among
you who cannot spare the time in
the fall to SOW four or fiv
acres of wheat. This much II

II the conclusions at which the
Jewish World arrives are true then
Methuselah, who has for all these
centuries held the record for being
the oldest man, must step down and
out and hand over the palm 10 some
of the gentleman of more modern
dates. The paper above mentioned re-
marks that there has always been a
grave doubt In the minds OF men.
among them come literal believers. as
to the great length to which men are
said to Fave lived in olden times,
as recorded in the Bible. Il is sur
missed, 10 sayo. that In those early
times the month, the period OF a
moon cycle, was called a year. thus
making the $50 years accredited TO
Adam really about 75h years as they
are measured today And the age OF
Methuselah would stand about 7S%
years After the month year there
came the five-month year, the limit
OF five being derived from the fling
ers OF the hand; all primitive people
have used the fingers as a basis for
counting. On the flve-month year
basis Abraham's us years would be
about az, and Isaac's $50 about "a.
The jewish World thinks that ex-
cuse for this Encouragement is found
In the p5almi5t'o limit OF life to three
score years and ten. and It is main
tanned that between the times Of
Noah and David no such extraordlnar
change could have taken place as 10
reduce the life of man by eleven
twelfths.

thoroughly, this will pulverize the
soil so that the dirt will fall in close
to the seed and as a result 1t will come
up much quicker. When the ground
is thoroughly narrowed then SOW the
wheat and harrow 1t In. The two
STRINGS with the harrow will make
the coil mellow and the result will
be a better and quicker start of the
young wheat.
This pGlverizing Of the soil will
help to hold the moisture so that IL
there is long dry fall the young
wheat will not suffer so much for
water.
There is another reason for harrow
ing the wheat land. 1t is to make the
soil more smooth and compact so that
the winter freezes cannot heave the
wheat out Of the ground. For example
wheat stalk is growing among some
clods; in this case when the freeze
lifts the wheat up many roots are
broken. On the other hand where
the soil is smooth fewer roots are
broken and the wheat will settle
down and grow after the ground is
thawed. OF course this is all extra
work to what we have been accustom-
cd to doing. But nevertheless it will
pay us at threshing time.
Putting stable manure on wheat
is something we mountain farmers
scarcely ever practice. This is where
we loose out. Wheat needs lots of
nitrogen and this nitrogen is abundan
in stable manure such as every noun
tain farmer has banked up in his
barn at this time of year. The time
to apply manure to wheat land is in
the late fall. Wheat does not need
so much manure as corn because the
manure will give 1t a rank growth of
stalk as well as head and the conse-
quence will be a blowing down just
before harvesting time. Applying
manure in the fall will give it a
good start before cold weather, then
IL will be less liable to freeze out.
How many of you have lot of
old log piles and brush piles in your
wheat field? IL you have any such
now is the time 10 haul them to
the wood yard. Our small farms are
too valuable to be Uttered up by old
rotten stumps, logs, brush heaps and
log piles, let us drag them out and
raise wheat where they were. they
occupy valuable land. There little
things seem unworthy to mention
but they certainly are worth doing.
How much better IL is to pillow across
the field without hitting a single
stump. log-pile, or rock pile than 10
always be hindered by them. Farming
is one of the best occupations man
can take up. and we mountain farm
ers can make our work much easier
and much more enjoyable II We will
only study our business, keep the old
farm in trim and never let public
work and stave hauling interfere
with our work. VIII the readers Of
The Citizen try to apply some of the
ideas in these articles? Some Of
the farmers have gotten suggestions
from The Citizen which will make
them more prosperous and their
farms richer. All of you who SOW
wheat, If you have not already sown,
try narrowing the ground before you
SOW the wheat, then harrow the whea
in, and all Of you when your wheat
gets two or three inches high,
spread a thin coat Of pulverl-
zed manure over it. and assure you
that you will not have to be bother
ed with buying White Pearl and Bob
White flour next year.

Talk With Teachers. No. 6.
BY Prof. CD. Lewis.

Dull days are coming on now and
II is we'll to bring new clements in
to school work as often as possible.
You may find 1t interesting to the
pupils IL in the place of a Fourth
Grade reading lesson, or for a morn
ding talk to the whole school you tell
the children the story given below. II
is true and OF the greatest value to
the farmers of the country. IL thru
the medium of the children you can
get the idea given fixed in the minds
of the parents you will in the one
act have earned your salary for six
months.
A City of Workers and What They
Make.
How many of you children have seen
your mothers make biscuits. All of
you have, of course. You know that,
she takes flour, lard, soda and sour
milk and mixes them together and
makes lovely light biscuits which just
melt in your mouth.
Would you like to eat the flour or
lard or soda alone? OF course you
would not. They are not fit to eat
until they are all put together in
just the right way.
Now | want to tell you a story of
a great city of wonderful little workers
who are busy making food, not for
boys and girls, but for plants, out of
things which they cannot eat until
they are put together. These are
very small cities, but the little people
who live in them are so tiny that mil
lions of them live in a single one
no larger than a pin head. This may
seem very strange story but you
can see the cities and some day you
may do as / have done; see the little
people moving a about by looking
through a microscope.
If you will take a spade into
clover field where the ground is
soft. and carefully dig up clover
plant and shake the soil from its
roots, you will see small white bumps,
some not so large as a pin head,
others many times larger, upon the
roots. These are the little cities. The
tiny people which live in them are
so small that millions of them could
lie ON one of the dots over an 'i' on
this page, and they are just little rods
shaped like piece of your lead pencil
2 inches long. Yet they are alive and
grow and eat and work; and their
work is what l am to tell you about.
Plants must have food to eat. as
We must. We eat bread, and butter
and meat and milk, and cannot live
upon just one kind of food. Neither
can plants. One of the foods which
they must have is nitrogen, but they
cannot eat it alone. 1t must be mix
ed with another substance called oxy-
gen as your mothers mixed different
things together TO make biscuits.
The air is made of nitrogen and
oxygen, but the plants cannot mix
them together. Only the little peo-
pie in the bumps, which you find on
the clover roots know how to do
this. They take these two things
from the air and put them together
and then give them to the clover to
use for food. To pay them for this
the cover holds them in place, and
carries them all the water they need.
This is a very great help for the
clover. for the little trappers catch
all the nitrogen from the air which
1t can possibly use. For this reason
clover can grow well on soil which
is too poor to raise, other crops.
These little workers do not only

An Answer.

PROBLEM:-How many feet of
inch board (board measure) will he

plete with lid If the box contains
one gallon liquid measure?
ANSWER: Since the diagonal is
equal to the square root of the sum
of the squares of three sides of the
cube. Then:
% 8 square equals 8; sum of So
ares of three sides.
(2) 1-3 of 8 equals 3, square CT
one side of cube.
CS) Square root of 3, 1.7S2 inches,
length of one side of cube.
ca 1.732 square, 2.999S square in.
