That tests Of drinking water made

result Of a controversy which arose
between the city health authoEties

the city the well was closed a month
or more ago. The owners secuted the
idea that It was infected and sent a
sample Of the water TO Chicago firm
for test. The reply came back short

drinking purposes.

The cutting of tobacco and hemp
is at present occupying the time of the
Bourbon county farmers who are in-
terested IN the cultivation of both crops.
The yield of both commodities is above
the average both in quantity and quail
ity and the producers are jubilant over
the prospects for a banner crop of
each. A larger acreage of hemp has
been cultivated in this county than in
former years owing to the successful
tests given by the O'Neal hemp
breaking machine which will greatly
facilitate the breaking and handling OF
the crop this fall.
