Farmers Institute Closes A Two Days
Successful Meeting On Tuesday
Afternoon.

The Garrard county Farmers In
stitute held two days session at the
court house on Monday and Tuesday of
this week, and the attendance while
good, was not what it should have BEEN.
but it made up in interest what it
lacked in numbers, and the work ac-
complshed at this session will un-
doubtedlv prove prolific of good re-
suits in the future.
Messrs w. H. Clayton of Hebron
and Harry Price of Catlettsburg, sent
here by tye State Department of Ag-
riculture, gave interesting talks, Mr..
Clayton on the cultivation of the vari-
GUS crops and modern methods of ag-
riculture in general, and so interesting
were his lectures that the organiza-
tons effected for the county voted a
resolution of thanks to Sec'ty New
man for sending him here. Mr.. Price
talked on Forestry and his remarks
were also very interesting. Mrs.
CHM also lectured on Domestic Science,
and on Monday gave a demonstration
which was well attended by the ladies
of the town, and Prof. Cancer also
brought his class from the school to
attend, and all who were present were
highly edited by her efforts.
A permanent county organization
was effected with Mr.. H. V. Basin as
president and Mr.. L. G. Davidson as
secretary. This organization will use
its effort to create a widespread in
terest throughout the county in the
Institutes to be held in the future, and
they hope to enroll every progressive
farmer in the county in the organiza-
ton. To further promote interest in
progressive farming in Garrard coun-
ty, they propose to endeavor to hold
in Lancaster on some date in the fall
of next year, probably simultaneous
with the holding of the 1914 Institute,
an Agricultural Fair. for the purpose
of stimulating an interest in the rails
ing of better crops and the promotion
of scientific farming in the county.
This enterprise is a very laudable
one, and the organization is one that
has long been needed. and every citi-
zen, be he farmer or what not, should
lend his hearty cooperation to its
furtherance.

Daily stock Letter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The move
ment of prices on the stock exchange
today was somewhat erratic. 1t was
difficult to bind up the news that
plainly occurred under highly profes.
sional influences. That the market
should have been weak was common
ly attributed to the absence of any
definite announcement in the Union.
Southern Pacific negotiations, and to
the rather damaging testimony, in the
steel corporation suit, by the com.
pany's ex-president. At all events.
steel and Union Pacific were conspicu-
ously weak in the early trading.
These stocks and Reading lost three
points, but later regained a good part
Of their preceding loss. This late re-
covery was. the more interesting. in
that the news of the Turkish cabinets
downfall and for renewed demand
that Adrianople be not surrendered,
become known at just that time 1t
came too late to effect the London
market, which was still rejecting"

higher prices for all the government
securities involved.
