BY RATS
SUBJECT OF AN INQUIRY
Surgeon General Blue Plans
Nationwide Inquiry to
Gain Facts.

A nationwide inquiry for the purpose
of ascertaining the extent of the depre-
datiOn by rats and other rodents is soon
to be begun by Surgeon. General Blue of
the United States public health service
DR.. Blue is anxious to make the inquiry
the most extensive ever ATTEMPTED in order
that a fairly accurate estimate of the
harm done by this mammalian pest can
be had. Heretofore the estimating of
damage done by rats has been largely a
matter of guesswork. On this occasion
Dr. Blue is anxious that the conclusions
be based on facts.
DR.. Blues investigation will be both
FIR the purpose of ascertaining the part
rats play in the spread of plague and
other dread diseases, and to ascertain
the millions Of dollars worth of prop
erty destroyed by them each year.
For many years DR.. Blue has been
studying rat determination problems. and
TODAY he is the foremost authority on the
subject in the country. Most of his In
designations have been in seaport cities,
however and not in the inland sections
of the country.
Hopes to Get Assistance.
He now hopes to get the residents of
every state 10 ASSIST III 6dlHeih,S "
gether every possible bit of information
regarding rodent depreGations. Besides
receiving correspondence from health au-
thorities throughout the country. he also
hopes to get reports of mills. warehouses,
granaries. etc.
He believes that much valuable mior-
ma tion can be received if the housewives
throughout the land will tell of their eX-
periences in fighting rats and mice. No
matter how brief or lengthy letters may
be regarding rodent depredations. d.
Blue will be pleased to receive them.
Nv making this nation wide inquiry the
surgeon general believes great strides can
be accomplished in the fight against the
rat The public health service will stand
ready to give advice to every one regard
ing rodent extermina tion no matter if it
concerns the friends of huge manufac-
turing concern from rats or the freeing OF
pantry from few mice.

DENIES HE |NVE|GLED
WIFE OUT OF RIGHTS
Martin H. Bray Explains Real
ty Conveyances in Answer
to Spouse's Charges.

Martin H. Bray. a local builder. today
answered the charges made by his
young wife. Alberta W. Bray. that he
had inveigled her into signing away
her interest i'm his real estate for the
purpose of depriving her of means Of
support beyond what he was disposed
to give her.
Bray says the conveyances were read
and explained to his wife. and the
transfer of his property was made
necessary because he faced an unwill-
ing absence from the District. and was
persons to care for his holdings during
his enforced absence.
Appeals From Conviction.
Bray is prosecuting in the Court of APP
peals an appeal from a conviction of
charges preferred by Miss Alberta w.
Sadlier. now Mrs. Bray. He was SEN
fenced to serve three years in the PEN
itentiary, despite the marriage which fol-
lowed his conviction
The builder says 1t never was his in
tention to deprive his wife of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of his real estate, so far
as they were necessary and proper for her
maintenance and for the support of their
child.
The husband tells the court he has fur
nished his wife from time to time such
funds as she needed. and has always pro-
vided a home with him. He denies any
advantage was taken of his wife in Sc
curing her signature to the papers of
transfer.
Attorneys Shinn & Owen represent the
husband.
Mrs Brays suit asks that her dover in
the real estate be set aside for her by
the court.

Boys Corn Club Exhibit Held AT Miss
Higgins Office And Prizes Awarded
Last Saturday.

The contest as to who was to be the
successful competitor in the Garrard
county Boys Corn Club was held last
Saturday afternoon in the office of the
County Superintendent of Schools.
Prof. Freeman Gilbert of the Agricul-
tural College at Lexington came over
and did the Judging, and also gave the
boys some interesting facts and in
structiOns in regard to how to culti-
vate corn successfully. Prof. Gilbert
compIimented the boys on their efforts
and took occasion to say that while the
exhibits were not as numerous, yet the
quality was among the best he had
seen. MANY of the boys who entered
the contest fell into hard lines, had a
bad stand, and many other difficulties
which beset older and more experience
ed farmers, hindered them from max
ing a success of their acre, and great
many of them, feeling that it would be
useless, did not make show of their
product.
The prizes were awarded as fol
lcws:-Best yield. 1st prize $1,000 Of
fered by Banks Hudson, went to Rob-
ert Parsons, whose yield was lis bu-
shells. or % barrels on his acre; second
prize, boys saddle by j. r. Mount, Son
& Co. Jerome Cotton, SO bushels; third
prize S2.5 in gold, by Banks Hudson,
Edwin Scott SO bushels.
Best 10 ears. 1st prize $500 in gold
by Banks Hudson, Jerome Cotton; End
prize, Hat by H. T. Logan, Tom Rey-
nolds; 3rd $3.50 by Banks Hudson,
Robert Parsons.
Best bushel 1st prize, $1,000 in gold
by Garrard Milling Co. Jerome Cotton;
End, pair shoes by Joseph Mercantile
Co. Robert Parsons; 3rd, Bride by
Haselden Bros. Robert Kinnaird.
The efforts of these lads in practical
farming are to be commended and might
we'll be emulated to advantage by many
of their elders. 1t is to be hoped that
if another efforts is made in this direc-
ton that the boys will meet with bet
ter success and each and everyone of
them may be able to raise a crop
worthy of being put on exhibition.
The exhibit of young Robert Par
sons is especially worthy of mention,
the lad we are informed is but Is
years of age. He is son of Squire
R. F. Parsons of the Flat Woods cOun-
try, and his effort was made on the
flat wood land, by no means the most
fertile or productive land in the county;
his particular acre being his own prop
erty for which he paid $3.50, but by
dint of hard work, the use of fertilizer
and knowledge of farming which
would do credit to one of maturer
years, he succeeded in producing %
barrels of corn, and of a very fine
quality.
The efforts of these untiring youths
in their agricultural venture, and their
ultimate success, shows the possibili-
ties of even the poorest of the soil of
Garrard county when treated practical
ly.

FARM FACTS

NUBBINs OF FARM NEWS.
F. w. Dubbs, a farmer near Lis
bon, O.. was attacked by an infu-
rated bull which broke his arm.
The man managed to climb into
a tree where he was found some
time later with the bull paving the
ground and believing with rage.
After the animal had been driven
OF II was found that Dubbs had
died in the tree.
Mrs. John w. johnson, Of Will
low Bend, w. Va, was trying
TO separate two fighting turkey
cocks when a COW charged and
knocked her down. She was so
badly trampled and cut by the
animals hoofs before being res
cued that she was confined to her
bed for several weeks and her
injuries may cripple her for life.
Seven years ago a Pennsylvania
farmer bought a young COW for
SIS. Since then she has raised
seven calves and few weeks
ago was sold for beef. She weigh
ed 1890 pounds and brought sl04.
In some experiments at the Mis-
souri, state farm In the growing
Of forage it was proved that profit
OF $3.50 per acre could be pro-
duced from alfalfa by pasturing
and feeding il TO hogs.
Geo. c. Calkins, a farmer near
Corning, Ia, took 80 turkeys to
market which weighed 800 pounds
gross and they averaged 1886 per
bird.
