CUT OUT TOBACCO

Owen county is "a large producer OF
tobacco, and what is true of Owen
county is equally true OF any other
tobacco producing section. To show
the sentiment on the tobacco situa-
ton, the Owen county Democrat
prints what follows:
"On account of the failure of the
pool which was caused by the fail
ing to get into the pool enough of the
1909 crop the price has gone too low
to encourage production. Already
many of our farmers who own land
have expressed determination to
cut out the crop and many will raise
it only to cultivate a few corners to
clean the farm and to give themselves
employment during odd times. Many
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1910-11-25

of the farmers in our county have
gotten to the point that they do not
have to raise the weed as they are
out of debt and will put their farms
in grass and will raise what they eat
and live easy.
"The buyers who promised to buy
the tobacco in Missouri and other
States are failing to keep their prom
Use since they can buy the crop in
Kentucky so low and it serves their
purpose so much better. SO those
who have built farms in other States
and engaged in the business of grow
ing tobacco will quit and cut out
tobacco growing entirely. The upper
counties canot afford to quit raising
stock and grow tobacco at the pres
ent low prices and the tobacco crop
will be curtailed in the blue grass.
Farmers have realized that it does
not pay to fear the farms up and
grow tobacco and depend upon buy
! ing everything else.
The feed for man and beast ship
ped into this country each year for
several years has been enormous and
this added to the cost Of grass seed
and the wear and tear Of the soil
has done much to teach our farmers
that too much tobacco does not pay,
hence more attention will be paid to
fine stock and poultry and to the
raising of things necessary for fam
lily consumption. Therefore we are led
to believe that Owen county will raise
less tobacco in 1911 than it has for
years" 49,

RUNAWAY BOYS
WALK TO TONOPAR
FROM GOLDFIELD
PRETTY LITTLE ROMANCE Is
SPOILED By A CRUEL
PEACE OFFICER.

That Dan Cupid does not confine
his efforts to the older sex, was
manifested at Goldfield recently and
ended in a romance which reached
the eliminating point in Tonopah
last evening.
Three lads from the southern
city, Harold Austin, age u, Jim
Ramsey, age IA, and John Boyle,
age 49, after witnessing several
productions of the Aylesworth
stock company, became infatuated
with the two little Biddel sisters,
and spent every cent they could
rake up on candy which was sent to
the objects of their affections. The
boys attended the last perform
ance of the company on Monday
night, and when they returned to
their homes, were reprimanded by
their parents for staying out so
late.
Yesterday morning they decided
to leave home and struck out for
this city. They had walked to
within dozen miles of Tonopah
when Shorty Kutzkau happened
along in his Simplex machine. He
gave the lads lift and on ar
irving sought out Mike Catalan
undersheriff for Esmeralda who
came over to participate in the Elk'
installation.
Catalan took the boys nome
with him and the runaways were
restored to their parents. 1t il
presumed that a short session il

1t is the desire of the ladies that
a sufficient sum be raised to free
the church from debt, and the
way the tickets are being spoken
for, makes it appear that their
hopes will become true.

Higher education for the negro was
urged by President Taft last night at a

as champion of the education of the ne

for aid for the negro. and Senator Charles
Dick of Ohio also delivered an address in
his behalf.
The purpose of the meeting to

which is situated in Green county. Ohio.
The great need of the university, said
President W. s. Scarborough of Wilber-

girl students. Andrew Carnegie has prom
Used to donate one-half Of the $4,000 nee
essary to erect this dormitory If the
friends of the university are willing to
give the other half. There also is great
need for $25O,OOO endowment fund for

made to raise that amount.
President Taft pledged himself for
contribution to the dormitory fund before
he left the meeting. His brother, Charles

speakers urged the friends of the univer-
