Rousing Tobacco Meeting.
Especial to The Record J

Paint Lick, Ky.
August, 2Osh, 1910.
One of the most interesting meet
ingS yet held in the interest OF the
Burnley Tobacco Society was the one
at Paint Lick Saturday afternoon in
which all the farmers of that vicinity
were in attendance. Enthusiasm was
shown to be at its highest In the un-
animous expressions of those present
over the prospect Of the pooling of
nearly all thecro in that section.
The occasion Of the meeting was to
hear the reports from MessrS Wade
Walker and j. B. Woods, who at a
meeting of some weeks ago had been
named as delegates to attend the meet
ing at Lexington for the purpose of a
thorough investigation and to make a
report of their findings Aug, Goth at
Paint Lick. After the meeting was
called to order; the report of the COM
mittee was called for and Mr. Walker
for the committee responded in SUBJ
stance as follows:
He said, we found that the senti-
ment Of all the old pOolerS was strong
er than ever for the 1910 pool and that
he was convinced that all the old
would be as well organized in
1910 as ever, and that their seemed to
be no uneasness felt on there part as
to the treatment they would receive
In the pool, but it was strongly evil
denced that they were in favor of the
1910 pool.

Woods were in conference with Mr..
LebuS and ether members Of the eX-
ecutive Board and they were assured
of the erection of a warehouse at Paint
Lick: also that Mr.. Lebus said, if
they would pool i'm the neighborhood
OF two million pounds at once he
would guarantee them steam re-
drying plant at Paint Lick. This
proposition seemed TO meet with unan
imous consent by all present. Both
Messrs Walker and Woods were unan-
imous and emphat ic I'm their report
that now above all other; was the
time for the people in this district to
, pool their tobacco: giving as IA reason
that the short crop could be easily
controlled with stronger pool. They
also urged their friends and neighbors
TO Join with the following committee
in making the meeting TO be held at
Paint Lick Saturday, Sept. 3rd a
rand success and come with minds
ally made up to pool their tobacco.
Mr.. Bradley Wilson, manager of the
campaign, for this District was pres
ent and assured the meeting that
President and Mrs LebuS and the eX-
ecutiye Committee and other prOmi-
nent speakers would be present. The
meeting was unanimous for the barbe
cue and basket dinner and the follow
ing committee was elected to take
charge of the details and make all ar
rangemeDtS for the reception Of the
guests. The committee issued and
signed the following:
! To the Tobacco Growers of Garrard
and Adjoining Counties:
I We the undersigned committee rep
resentiDg the citizens and tobacco
growers Of the vicinity Of Paint Lick
respectfully invite and request you to
join with US IN mamoth barbecue
and basket dinner to be given at Paint
Lick on the Bird day of Sept, 1910.
We feel that the tobacco question de-
serves Immediate attention. The EX-
ecutive Committee of the Burley To-
bacco Society will spend the day with
us, also other prominent speakers will
be invited and expected to attend.

The growers of Madison county
have also shown considerable interest
towards the pooling question for the
past several weeks and in the past few
days several names of large growers
have been added to the list of pOOlers
and in each instance they were men

The ThornIess Cactus.

Notwithstanding the recent drift of
criticism. it is being conceded that
Mr.. Burbank's thornless cactus is
going to be plant of imm ense value,
both for forage and as food plant
The new plant will come true from
graft. and is being reproduced IN that
way as we'll as 10y leaves broken off
and planted. When the young plant
is three years OLD it stands feet high,
as much in circumference, and weighs
500 pounds. There will be 500. 200
plants distributed during the current
year, and these will be distributed
thru the Gulf States as well as CalfOr-
Mia. -Four tons Of the fodder is said
to be equal to one ton of alfalfa, and
one acre of land will produce as much
as four acres of alfalfa. But we have
to take into account that this cactus
will grow where the alfalfa will not,
on the most unprOductive soil, while
it needs no irrigation whatever.
Then we have 10 to 20 tons of fruit per
acre and this also has a commercial
vai1e 1t can be used for making
syrup, boiled or canned. The leaves
are said to lie very similar to egg plant
as salad or fried. Mr.. Burbank does
not claim and never has claimed that
This is the only thornless cactus in the
world. but he has developed a variety
superior to anything before known.
An acre of this plant will support five
to ten dairy COWS. while hogs and sheep
do admirably feeding on it. 1t serves
for drink as well as for food, as it con
tains such large percentage of water
1t looks now as il we should see this
plant as popular as the COW pea and
the velvet bean in the Southern States
at least in California, Colorado, Florida
and around the Gulf. If the cacti can
redeem some hundreds OF millions of
arid acres, while the legumes more
than double the productivity of our
better soils, the door is opening much
wider to an enormously increased and
at the same time better fed popula-
tion--The Independent.

THE DUAL PURPOSE COW,

The following article from the
Breeders Gazette gives an unbiased
view Of the dual purpose COW con-
troversy:
A great deal has been and is being
written about the dual purpose and
special purpose COW. Each has her
place.
The more any part or function of an
animal is developed, the more delicate
the animal becomes, the better care it
needs, the better feed it requires. rhe
highly developed beef animal or dairy
animal is unbalanced from the stand
point of nature, and nature left to
herself does OF produce them. When
man produced them nature leaves it
for man to care for, feed them and
provide conditions necessary for main
aiming this unbalanced creature.
When these highly specialized animals
are given the requisite feed, shelter
and care they serve mans wants much
better than the animal nature made
in fact one OF them will do the work
of a dozen or more of natures kind.
And they are the profitable animal to
raise, providing all their wants can
be satisfied. If, however, they cannot
be given the proper care, the less
highly specialized animal may oe
more profitable. That is the place
that the dual purpose COW fills. This
animHl is from the s. 'ndroirt Of
nature. quite we'll balanced. The
fleshing properties are not so extre-
mely developed, nor its milk making
carried to so high a degree. Here is
a COW that can be a fairly good milk
er-sometimes they are record break
ers-and at the same time have good
flesling properties so that a steer
from her would make a fairly good
beef animal, and sometimes they are
prize winners.
The dual purpose animal while it
will respond to the best feed, good
stabling and fine care, yet it can get
along without these better than can
the highly specialized animal. They
are also less liable to disease 50 that
they should prove the animal for the
farmer to raise who does not feel that
he can give as much time and atten-
tion to his stock as the best kind of
stock might require. Whether this is
profitable or not is another question,
the point at issue is what a man is
going to do, and this he will likely
do to quite an extent regardless Of
profits. ...-...
The matter Of securing the dual
purpose cow is getting more difficult
as nearly all cattle have now have
some strains of either the dairy blood
or that OF the beef lines in their MAKE
up; so that they will not transmit true

VELVET cHAFF WHEAT SCORES
BIG VICTORY IN WISCONSIN
THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF
PROFESSOR LADD.
Fargo, Dec. 2.-In a letter received
in Fargo today from H. A. johnson,
chairman of the commissioners of the
Wisconsin Grain & Warehouse COM
mission it is announced that the COM
mission has decided that the North
Dakota velvet chaff wheat has been
unduly Disseminated against and that
they will hereafter pay more for this
wheat. This announcement comes as
a result Of a fight that has been wag-
ed for a long time between the far
mers, railroad. commission and agri.
cultural colleges of North Dakota on
one side and the eastern buyers and
commission merchants on the other
side
In new book of rules that has
just been issued from the Superior
Office of the commission giving the
grades Of grain, the following is found
regarding the velvet chaff wheat.
The commission, believing that vel
vet chaff wheat has been unduly dis
criminated against have, in conjunc-
tion with the North Dakota railway
commission, and with the cooperation
of Professor Ladd of North Dakota
had tests made of it's relative milling
value compared with the fife and the
blue stem varities. These tests were
made at the Fargo agricultural COL
lege, under the supervision of Pro-
fessor Ladd, and are unquestfonably
correct. We will grade velvet chaff
wheat the same as the fife and blu.
stem varieties, but will not put it in
higher grade than No. northern.
This means that the commission has
changed its margin of discrimination
from 5 cents to 8 cents, which they
will still hold. Even though the buy
ers still hold this small margin, q
great deal has been accomplished for
the grain grower in North Dakota.
The announcement will be most vel
come news to the wheat men through
out the state.

six precincts, the vote was 43 to 81 in
Bryan's favor.
Tne same deal affected the county
seat fight. Ignite originally had a
majority Of Ill, but after the pre-
cincts were thrown out, Bowbells had
majority VI 24S.
The votes were thrown out on the
basis of statute that the commission
ers shall not count votes cast in any
precincts that are not established.
The attorneys for the contestants hold
that the precincts were established,
and that inasmuch as voting places
we're not established by the commits
sioners Of Burke county it was lawful
to use the old voting places estab-
lisned by Ward county or arranged
for by the voters themselves.
