Oct 3d-Dr II. " Adams
Nov 4th-Ash Davis

The committee believes that they
are giving the best lyceum course that
has ever been provided for Ardmore,
and are expecting a generous support
from the people of Ardmo:2.
The entertainments will De held IN
the auditorium of the new high school
building. and the fact that the com
mittee does not have to pay for
building this year enables them to Cf-
fer cheaper rate of admission than
ever before. The season ticket for
the entire course will be only $50,
and each holder of such ticket will be
permitted to take in one child free.
Every number is an attraction well
worth anybody's time.
DR.. Adams great lecture, The Mar
With a Message, is full If wit, wis
dom and inspiration.
Ash Davis, the cartoonist, never
fails to please.
Victoria Lynn CJhcert Company
have appeared sufficiently in Ardmore,
that the mere mention Of their name
on the list of attractions guarantees
the worth of the course.
The Dietrics are musicians as well
as magicians and both young and old
will look forward to this entertain
ment as one of the best in the course.
The Gilbert Shorter Players are a
company of dramatists who have been
coached by Gilbert Shbrter late of HIS
Naiesty's Theatre, London England.
The committee. believes that this last
attraction will leave such a pleasing
impression upon those who attend
this year, that the selling Of tickets
for next year Will be the easiest ey-
or.

Silo Building in Kentucky

Commisa of Agicutu abor dSaiais Kntucky

the corn plant after the ear is taken therefrom.
Were all of these plants put into silos at the right
time, practically all of this waste would be pre-
vented since, in filling the silo the entire corn
plant is used. Stock, especially cattle and sheep,
will eat practically the entire plant in the form Of
good enslage. From a saving standpoint alone,
therefore, the immense value of the silo to the
corn-growing farmer is self evident, but the value
of the silo does not stop here.
To ensilage live stock must be handled. The
great manurial value of the plant is saved
in this way for the farmer. Again, great amount
of labor is saved by gathering the entire plant
into a silo and having it convenient for feeding
during the winter, instead of gathering the at
time and waiting until cold and freezing
weather to go to the fields for a shock or so OF
fodder per day. There is a fourth value in saving
the crop and feeding ensilage that is difficult to
describe but that value is in the crop nevertheless.
Any experienced feeder knows that live stock does
not do we'll on dry feed alone for a very long
period. The succuency of the ensilage enables the
animal to stay in a healthier condition, to make
more from the dry feed given it along with the
silage and feed to better advantage generally.
When animals changed from pasture to dry
feed they lose what the farmer usually terms their
Sap. When put grass in the spring after dry
feed it is noticed by the average feeder how quick

OF Rural Schools, more than seventy counties
have employed competent supervisors.
The amendment of the law relating to the
office of County Superintendent provides that
there shall be minimum salary of 5000 and
a maximum salary of $500, and requires the
Superintendent to devote his entire time to his
office. This puts the office of County Supern-
tendent plane with other county Offices.
The Teachers Salary Schedule law was a
very important step towards real progress. 1t
undertakes to eG 4aze salaries and prevent spe-
cial favors. These salaries are now paid on a
basis of qualification, experience and percent of
attendance.
The Compulsory Attendance law was re-
vision OF the old law which had not proved
effective. Under the law the attendance
for the past year showed increase of at
least twenty-five percent any previous
year.
Mr.. Hamlet is earnestly urging the creation
of rural State Board of Education. Such
law has been introduced many times, but has
always failed of passage. The time has arrived
when such action is imperative The changes
urged by Mr.. Hamlet as follows: First,
the number of members should be increased;
second, majority of its members should be
professional men; third its membership should
be familiar with every phase of school life and
school work in the state; fourth, it should
have the power to largely operate and control
the school affairs of the state without the
numerous restrictions and petty details at
present existing. A longer school term is also
being earnestly advocated by Mr.. Hamlet, as
is also the teaching of agriculture in rural
schools.

undoubtedly, master of the school problems
of Kentucky.
When he entered upon the duties of his Of
flee he Immediately started a vigorous move
ment for the reform of Kentuckys educational
system, and through his efforts the Legislature
has already enacted the following laws: The
School Inspection law, the Act providing for
the supervision of Rural Schools, the law pro-
viding for the raising of the standard of quail
hcation and increasing the salary of County
Superintendent, the Teachers Salary Schedule
the Compulsory Attendance law for rural
schools, and the Act giving to women the right
to school suffrage.
The School Inspection law especially
valuable For many years gross frauds
perpetrated in the management of the
school affairs of the state. On account Of the
lack of authority the part of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, and the INSULT
cient help given him. practically nothing could
be done toward correcting these vicious evils.
A law was passed giving the Superintendent
of Public Instruction additional power and duty
of inspection of schools, school revenues and
the management of schools, with two assistant
inspectors. The State Superintendent "spe-
cal inspector" and his assistant inspectors have
devoted much time the correction of frauds
in reporting the school census, the assessment
and collection of taxes from corporations and
property holders, which have previously paid
little school tax, the incorporation
and misuse of school funds and the correction
of many evils which existed in the general ad
ministration and management of the school
affairs of the state. In single instance,
within a few weeks after the Act became eff
fective, there saved to the state $4,000 in

~ January 1, 1912, when the present Com
missioner of Agriculture was installed in
~ office, there were few hundred sios in
Kentucky; practically all of these wooden
structures The United States Government had
had in the State for year more representa-
tive from the Department of Agriculture preaching
the advantages of silos a whole and of con-
crete slos in particular. The State Department
of Agriculture succeeded in getting appropria
ton of five thousand dollars annually for demon
stration work in several lines The first work that
the Department did in demonstration way
along concrete so lines. The general plan of this
work and some of the results therefrom are given
here.
The corn crop of Kentucky, that is the grain
from the corn crop, for 1912 is given by the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington as being
worth in round numbers sixty millions of dollars.
The chemists tell us that the feeding value of the
stalks blades shucks silks tassels and cobs of the
corn plant when in the slo stage is practically the
same in quality and quantity as that of the grain
on the plant Stated in different way, the grain
grown on the plant in Kentucky is sixty millions
of dollars per annum, and the feeding value OF
the plant other than the grain is approximately
sixty millions of dollars. Anyone familiar with
the methods of handling the stalk by the
farmers in this State would not undertake to say
that more than fifty percent of the feeding value
