BRAND ENBURG KY WOMEN
SUBSCRIBE FOR A GOOD ROAD
Feminine Club Wakes Up to Situation
First and Makes Travel Easier.

Everybody Is in favor Of good roads
as an abstract proposition, but when
1t comes down to the concrete-that Is
to soy, to sand and gravel-there are
differences Of opinion. Some Kentuck-
fans there are who declare themselves
strongly for good roads, but say they
DO not know how to go about getting
them.
One way to go about it has been ex-
emplifed recently by the Federated
Woman's club Of Brandenburg, KY.
The members Of that live organization
felt the need Of a good road from
Brandenburg to Weldon, a station on
the Louisville, Henderson and ST.
Louis railroad. Brandenburg has no
railroad. and when the citizens Of that
town go travelling they either take a
steamboat or drive over to Weldon to
take the train.
Meade county mud possibly Is few
degrees worse than the mud anywhere
else in Kentucky. The male citizens of
Meade have been handling the road
question in the same way that many
other Kentucky counties have been
handling it. Mud multiplied by mud
produces more mud, but the male citi-
zens Of Meade didn't seem to know it.
The women woke up to the situation
first, and they determined to pike"
the road from Brandenburg to Weldon.
They raised more than $1,000 by pri-
vato c11hccrin+iOn and thnv asked fhn
fiscal court to do the rest. The court
came across with an appropriation OF
$4,000 as an evidence of good faith.
The road will be completed by the
end Of summer. Next winter it will be
possible to travel from Brandenburg

the pet weapons OF the big mail order
houses by which they command rural
trade, have been seized by merchants
to keep the money of the countryside

gaudy pamphlet outputs OF the big

names coined to describe the new sys-

grotto or cave Of the winds. Mail
order competition has cut heavily into
his business. His former customers
have been assailed by booklets filed
with pretty pictures, tempting price
figures and selling arguments which
are as the song Of the Lorelei against
his own circulars, crudely printed and
crudely composed.
The building Of the interurb2n trolley
helped him some, enabling farmers
wives to get into town and within
reach Of his attractive displays Of

pretty pictures is over them; also
the idea Of getting their garments

wholesaler in the metropolis feels the
decline Of sales in the Beehive. This
As the natural effect, which pinches
early. But now the wholesaler, like
q husky big brother, comes to the
rescue of Mr.. Sellers and by the same
blow resuscitates his own total Of
profits.
The wholesaler, with money at his
command and in close touch with the
heart of things, is in a position to buy
talent and brains. This he does, and

NEEDS or SOUTHERN FARMER
Diversification Not Necessarily 5ene-
ficiat or Desirable for the
Cotton Planter.

In treating OF the subject Of Diver
siication" DR.. TAFT Butler in an ar
ticle il the Progressive Farmer says:
"tDiversifcation is not necessarily
beneficial or desirable, and for the
cotton farmer is very difficult To put
into operation. To grow those crops
consumed on the farm Is usually
wise, put beyond this, diVersi1cation
must be limited to the capacity or
Intelligence of the farmer and the
conditions surrounding marketing.
It Is true that practically all, crops
needed by the people Of the south,
except cotton. are bought by the
souths and, therefore, meet with
ready sale, but the putting Of many
Of these on the market In proper
condition, requires considerable
knowledge, experience and care, and
unless properly marketed, they will
not command living price to the
producer.
During the past year wheat mas
received much attention, but IL is
doubtful If our soil and climate are
sufficiently well adapted to the grow
ing of wheat to justify the expense
of securing the necessary machinery
to economically harvest, thresh and
mill the amount that will be grown.
Wheat growing may not be new
crop in the south, but it is new to
many Of the farmers Of today and
is a new crop under modern condi-
tions of harvesting and milling.
Tobacco and rice have also been
suggested for different sections as
substitutes for cotton, but these are
new crops with which our people
are unfamiliar and they are expen
give and difficult to handle.
"Of all the new crops suggested as
q substitute for cotton there Is none
which promises better than peanuts
because 1t is a southern crop, adap
ted to southern soil and climate ant
can be marketed through hogs, If II
no other way, which are always il
demand In the south.
sBut no new crop should be planted
on a large scale, until few acres
a have been grown for year or two
and the culture of the crop learned
1T is safe to stick pretty closely tt
