The Bulletin States That Failure Of
Crop Last Year and This viii

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lexington. Ky.-The Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, in a bull
letin issued. urges the farmers OF the
state to, in some degree, plant barley
as feed crop instead Of corn, which
has given a scant production in three
out of the four past years. The bulle-
tin states that the failure of the corn
crop both this year and last will have
a serious effect upon the livestock in
dustry. which has already received a
notable check The fact Of two sue
cessive drouths gives no assurance, it
is also said, that next year will be a
favorable season. as nature does not
thus effect balance by dry year be-
ing followed by wet one II is ar
sued that as barley has a feeding
quality for livestock about equal to
full yield and natures before the
drouths set in. 1t might be profitably
substituted for corn. The bulletin,
which was prepared by Z. ]. Kinney,
assistant agronomist at the Expert.
ment Station, is as follows:
In Anly one year out Of the last
( four ntucky produced a good corn
crop. he 1911 crop was very small
the | practically failure, and 1914
pronSes a smaller crop than in any
of tth four years. The failure of the
crop this year following the scant croT
of last year will seriously affect the
| livestock interests of the state. In
deed, it is probable that the growth Of
the industry has already been greatly
checked.

ShelbyviIle wins Polnt.
The state railroad commission
ordered the Louisville q Nash
vile to reduce the freight rates on
sugar, dried vegetables, canned goods,
soda and molasses from IA to II cents
the hundredweight, and on potatoes,
soap, wire in coils, nails in kegs and
barrels, from 10 to 10 cents. The
Blakemore Grocery Company, of Shell.
byville, complained that Shelbyville
was being Disseminated against as
compared with Frankfort Lexington,
Winchester and Harrodsburg.
While commenting the effort to pro
tect the interests of Kentucky jobbers,
the commission said that the attempt
of the railroad to justify lower rates
than those accorded Shelbyville to
points where Louisville jobbers had to
meet competition from Cincinnati,
could not be supported in the light of
the Texas case. in which the Texas
commission was condemned by tho
courts and Interstate Commerce Com
mission for endeavoring TO diserimi'
nate in favor of Texas shippers. The
commission said the competitive con.
dition at Shelbyville between the Lou
lsyille G. Nashville and the Southern
