rlrt Files Near Frankfort, Ky.

Gov. James Bennett McCfeary, as
years old, probably the oldest chief
executive serving In any state, donned
overalls. took a pick and worked on
River road, near Frankfort.
Hundreds of men we're busy repair.
ing and building highways in every
county of the state in pursuance to the
Governors proclamation. Women in
many OF the communities prepared
barbecued dinners for the workers.
Hundreds Of miles of highway we're
benefited without one cent of cost to
the state or to taxpayers. save for the
time OF the volunteers.
The particular strip of road which
engaged the personal attention of the
Executive is the River road in Frank
lin county running along the bend OF
the Kentucky river from the Louisville
& Nashville toll bridge, just across the
river from Frankfort, around to the
city limits on the South Side, where
the Louisville pike leaves Secona
street. Since the st. Clair-stree,
bridge. connecting the downtown sec
ton with South Frankfort, where the
capitol is located, has been closed for
repairs, Gov. McCreary has been rid
ing between the mansion and the capt.
toll in his brougham over the River
road. The iolting he has received
twice a day for more than a week has
made him fully cognizant of the needs
Of that particular strip of road. At the
last session of the City Council the
county authorities were memorialized
to have the road repaired, as all the
traffic to and from the South Side now
goes around that way.
Commissioner of Roads II. c. Ter
rell was on the River road, too. and
County Road Engineer r. L. Wiley had
a force of men there.
County Road Engineer Wiley work
ed hard to stimulate interest in the
good roads days. and while the re-
spouse has not been general, squads
of citizens were out in various parts
o. the county.
Commissioner Terrell devoted part
time 20 Franklin county and part to
Trimble county, assisting in supervis'
ing the work there.

viii Form Forestry Clubs.

Boys and Girls Forestry Clubs
similar in plan to the Corn and Can
ming Clubs. will be organized in Ken
lucky, under the joint auspices of the
Forestry, Agricultural and Educational
Departments, if a resolution adopted
by the State Forestry Commission is
carried out. The idea primarily is
educational; but it is hoped it will
eventuate in initiating a scheme of re-
forestration. If possible the plan is to
be worked out through the schools.
The club members are to plant nut
and fruit trees, studying grating,
pruning. budding, spraying, and all the
other practical features of tree cul'
ture. Their products are to be exhib-
tied at the State Fair in competition
for prizes. State Forester Barton will
furnish the information to the clubs,
and hickory, chestnut. pecan and wal
nut trees will be planted. The Com
mission approved the appointment as
nrrseryman of Joseph n. letter, who
il in charge of the tree nursery AT

Each Net Taken Means Saving Of

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Frankfort, Ky.--In his first report
to the general assembly since the de.
partment was created Executive Agent
J. Q. Ward, of the game and fish com.
mission, Is preparing some figures to
show what the conservation of game
and fish means to the people of the
state In food values, as well as in
other ways. He collected information
from every available source and has
taken the statements of fishermen who
have made a livelihood on the rivers
as to what their catches amount to in
a year. Their estimates of the yearly
average yields of such nets as have
been confiscated in the streams of
Kentucky vary from 500 to 1000
pounds each. Mr.. Ward estimates ap.
proximately 1000 nets were in use.
This would yield an annual total of
100000 pounds from the streams and
at 10 cents a pound that would mean
$4,000.
