APPOINT COMMITTEES

Mindful of the great things that can
be accomplished by organized effort,
citizens of Oklahoma, two miles south
of this city, have formed an improve
ment association with the determine
ton to use 1t to obtain all kinds OF
public improvements and TO aid in all
plans for civic betterment.
Electric lights, a flag stop on the
G. and o. railway a sign post to be
placed in the village, bearing its name
are the first things which the Organiza-
ton will endeavor to obtain. Other i'm
provement will follow later.
Although the entire population of
the village was not out for the meet
ing an effort will be made to interest
every one concerned in the movement,
as it is realized that the assistance of
all the inhabitants will be necessary in
waging campaign for the desired i'm
prOVementS.
Elects Officers.
flames Addington, who has been the
promoter of the movement acted as
temporary chairman. A permanent or
ganization was perfected by electing
James w. Cozard president and Isaac
q CoZard, secretary-treasurer.
Committees were appointed to in
ve5tigate the situation and will report
at the next meeting to be held next
month at the home of James Cozard.
The first meeting, according to those
present was an unqualified success,
and If the spint manifested can be ia
ken as a criterion of the zeal that will
be displayed later by the citizens of
Oklahoma when they make their cam
paign for village improvements, it will
be only short time until they have
added materially to the appearance of
the place.
30, Plan Cleanup Day.
Next summer the organization plans
to have a general cleaning up and
flower and shrubbery planting.

ORIGIN OF WHITE hurley

In 1864 the White Burey tobacco was origin
ated through a sport from the Red Burley,
the farm of Mr.. George Webb, in Brown
ty, Ohio, and was called White Burley in
tradistinction to Red Burley on account of its
lighter color. This tobacco has become extreme
ly popular on account of its absorbent powers
and its mildness Of flavor 1t is particularly well
adapted for plug filler and plug and twist wrap

used for pipe smoking. The cultivation of this

The profitable period of an alfalfa field in Ken
lucky is usually from four to six years, although
there fields in the State twelve to fifteen years
old. The writer knows of one such field in Wood
ford county. 1t is generally believed to be more
profitable to pillow up the field at the end of four
to six years and plant potatoes and
cash in" the accumulated fertility. Whatever
may be the cause, soil produces exceedingly we'll
after good growth of alfalfa.

EXTENSION OF THE INDUSTRY

Although some tobacco was grown during the
time of the early settlements, the first real eX-
tension of the industry was westward, IN Ken
lucky and Tennessee. In 1885 tobacco produc
ton was of considerable Importance in northern
Kentucky while in southern Kentucky this in
dustry came into prominence about the year 1910.
The tobacco produced in Kentucky was the dark,
export type that has always prevailed in these
localities. Up to the year 1888 practically all
the tobacco grown in this state was sent by the
planters in boats to New Orleans for shipment
to foreign countries. In that year, however,
warehouses. were established in GAINESVILLE, Ten
nessee. Soon others sprang up in Louisville,
Kentucky and in the surrounding towns of this

of central and northern Kentucky, and is
at present chiefly confined to this area, though

freestone soil in West Virginia. The White Bur

spring and fallowed till seeding time, or a crop
OF potatoes, oats, wheat other crop
that will come off early may be grown Imme-
diately after the removal of such crop the
ground should be thoroughly prepared. At least
four weeks should intervene between breaking
and seeding, and the longer the time the better.
Before seeding, the ground should be finely pull
verified and we'll compacted. A heavy roller
may be used Immediately before seeding.
If sown broadcast by hand by broadcast
seeder, about 20 pounds of seed should be used
and seeded cross directions. If the special small
seed drill is used, II to IS pounds of good seed
will be sufficient, if moisture conditions fav-
orable The seed should be covered lightly about
three-quarters of an inch deep, if the soil is as
firm as it should be. Fall sown alfalfa should not
be clipped.
CARE OF THE FIELD
AS already noted, grasses and weeds are deadly
enemies of alfalfa If they should show up in the
field they may be, in a large measure, controlled
eradicated After the alfalfa is cut, the ground
may be disked with the gangs set at slight angle,
running back and forth instead of going around
the field Then with sharp spike-tooth har
row, run across the line of the disk harrow. This
process will usually destroy most weeds and
grasses. An exception difficult to handle is blue
grass if it gains much Roadway before this pro-
cess is begun. AS a substitute for the above
named implements the spring-tooth harrow may
be used, and it is preferable on types of soil
that do not get too hard. 1t may be used in
connection with the disk a substitute for the
spike-tooth harrow

DYNAMITING THE SOIL

Frequent questions are asked in regard to the
desirability of dynamitng the soil for alfalfa
and other crops.
In the fall of 1911 the Kentucky Experiment
Station dynamited an acre, plowed an acre with
the Spalding Deep Tilling Machine to a depth
of II inches, SUBSIDIZED an acre in the ordinary
way to depth of II inches, and plowed an acre
to the depth of or inches with the ordinary
moldboard plow. The ground was seeded to
oats in the spring of 1912 After the oats were
removed the ground was Immediately prepared
for alfalfa which was seeded the latter part of
August Two crops were cut in 1913, the severe
drouth preventing later growth. The following
