Inquiries have been so frequently
made at the Kentucky Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station for information re-
garding where live stock of various
classes could be bought and also in
quiries for purchasers have been so
numerous that the Extension Depart
ment of the Experiment Station has
made arrangements to conduct live
stock exchange, or in other words a
medium through which live stock of
all classes can be bought and sold by
the farmers of the state.
The plan is for any one who has
stock to sell to make that fact known
to the Experiment Station, giving an
accurate description of each animal
offered for sale, the price asked, etc.
1t must be clearly understood that
the station assumes no responsibility
for the results of a transaction, either
as regards the stock being as repre-
sented or In regard to the reliability OF
purchasers. The sole function of the
station will be to put prospective buy
ers and sellers in communication with
each other, leaving them to make
their own transactions on their own
responsibility. The station will make
no charge for its services.

Kentucky. with a population Of g.
289,905 in 1910, is producing annually
little less than 100000 bushels of
potatoes, while the annual consump-
ton of the state is about 100000
bushels, making it necessary that g.
100000 bushels of potatoes be shipped
into our state each year.
The potato has become so adapted
to varying conditions of soil and eli
mate that it is now grown in almost
all parts of the civilized world. The
soils and climate of Kentucky are suffi-
GENTLY favorable to the growing of the
potato that it should not only be grown
to supply home consumption, but it
should be proftably produced as pay
ing marketable crop as well.
Some of the advantages which Ken
lucky has for the production of po-
tatoes are:
1. Two crops can be grown in one
season on the same piece of ground.
2. 1t is the most easily grown and
marketed of the so-called intensive
crops.
8. 1t fits readily into cropping sys.
tens and leaves the ground in good
condition for fall seeding of wheat
rye, or barley.
4. 1t does not draw heavily upon
the fertility of the soil. A 300-bushel
crop of potatoes requires So pounds
of nitrogen, 10 pounds of phosphorus
and 80 pounds of potassium, while a
100-bushel crop of corn requires las
pounds of nitrogen, % pounds of phos
phorus, and II pounds of potassium
5. 1t is good money crop. The
labor of one man and team in growing
potatoes will produce greater profit
one year with another, than will the
same labor produce in growing to
bacco.
The soil best adapted to potatoes is
a sandy loan. River and creek bottom
lands when we'll drained are very suit
able. The Kentucky clay loans, wheI
well supplied with humus, are good fol

Heron Shot at Lancaster

Chief of Police Luther Heron,
of Lancaster, who was shot last
Sunday afternoon by a negro by
the name of Bob Stranger, has a
favorable chance for recovery.
Capt. Heron arrested Stranger
who resisted and became unruly
and seized Heron's pistol and
shot him three times, twice
through the head and once
through the body. Mr.. Heron is
formerly from Harrodsburg, where
he served as policeman for sever
al years, but has been the Chief
of Police at Lancaster for some
four or five years, where he has
given universal satisfaction.

Special Term

Judge Riddell has ordered a
special term of the Estill Circuit
Court which began Monday,
June 18th and will continue for
twelve days.
This order is made because
the law changing the dates of
the Circuit Court in that judicial
district does not go into effect
until June 10th. Hence the spe-
cial term in order to avoid any
possible question as to the le-
gality of the court.

New Automobile Law

The new automobile law for
Kentucky which goes into effect
this week, while drastic in some
respects has many good provis-
ions. Among these we note:
Making it a penalty for any child
under sixteen to drive Car I'M
less accompanied by parents or
guardian. Another is providing
a severe penalty for any one to
drive a Car while intoxicated. II
this latter provision is enforced it
will stop many of the horrible
wrecks that attend automobiling.
Nearly all the disastrous wrecks
are caused by the drivers being
under the influence of liquor.
No part of the law should moi
be allowed to become a dead let
ter. Exchange.

it's decay furnishes liberal supply of
nitrogen to the soil. Potato land
should be plowed to good depth so
as to provide a deep, loose bed for the
formation of the tubers. Since the po-
tato is an intensive crop, one can
afford to use commercial fertilizers in
its production. Fertilizers low in nitro
gen, medium in phosphoric acid, and
high in potash are best. The grades
commonly used for tobacco are suit
able for potatoes.
In growing potatoes for the early
northern market, the soil should be
thoroughly worked up in the spring as
soon as it is tillable, and the planting
should be done when the danger to the
plants from frost is thought to be past
First-class seed is very essential
Smooth, medium-sized potatoes, free
from scab, are best. In order that the
potato crops may not deteriorate in
yield and quality, it is necessary that
one crop each year be planted from
northern-grown seed. 1t is probably
best to use northern seed for the sec.
ond crop. Potatoes should be planted
from three to FIVE inches deep, in rows
from three to three and half feet
apart, while the hills from twelve to
eighteen inches apart in the row
Thorough, shallow cultivation should
be practiced, and there is great econ
omy of labor in using weeder or har
row two or three times before the Pc
tatoes come up.
The first crop OF potatoes can be
removed and marketed about July first
The ground, if not replanted to pota
toes, can be sown to cowpeas for hay
crop, or it can be made ready for the
sowing of clover or alfalfa, which
should be put in about August 18th.
The total cost of producing croI
of potatoes, including rental of land
tilling, fertilizers, seed, planting, har
vesting, and marketing, is about $5(
per acre. The average production fol
the United States for the past ter
years has been SO bushels. 1t is easily
possible for potato grower in Ken
lucky, with right conditions, to pro
duce 200 bushels per acre. In some
potato experiments conducted by thu
! Kentucky Station as early as 1889, thu
average yield Of the best varieties con
siderably exceeded 200 bushels pc
acre. The average farm price for pc
tatoes for the past ten years in Ken
lucky has been IS cents per bushel.
yield of 200 bushels at So cents pc
bushel would bring $3.50, or net prof
of $50 over the cost of production
With modern potato machinery, on
man and team can grow and handl
at least 20 acres of potatoes, except a
digging time, when some extra he'll
would be needed.
In many parts of Kentucky the labo
problem makes it difficult to grow to
bacco in connection with general farm
ing. With machinery for cutting pc
tato seed, and the horsepower imple
ments for planting and digging, it

potato crop fits better into the labo

ease is known, but this bulletin is pub
lished to warn farmers of the danger
of using soil from infested fields to
inoculate others. Such soil is likely to
convey the fungus, and is likely to
convey other pests as we'll, including
weeds. If soil is used, one should first
make sure that the land from which it
is taken is not infested with diseases
or pests to which alfalfa is subject.
The safest way to inoeulate is to
apply pure cultures to the seeds. Such
cultures may now be obtained from
the Division of Entomology and Botany
of the Experiment Station.

The so-called Irish potato (Solanum
tuberosum) is native of America, and
next to rice is the most extensively
grown and most valuable crop in the
world. The total annual yield is about
5000. 100000 bushels. OF this the Uni
ted States produced during the five
year period, 1sO8-1912, an average of
343,5S7. 500 bushels annually. The an

CAUCUS IS NOW
WORkINGINT
LOCAL CHANNEL
BIG GOVERNMENT DREDGE is
NOW ENGAGED IN DEEPENING
APPROACH TO THIS PORT TO
ABOUT THIRTY.FfVE FEET.

Quite lot Of speculation is now be-
Of the fact that the big government
dredge Caucus, Capt. Hernandez, has
been ordered back to Pensacola for
some apparently pressing work, and
the big boat IL now engaged In deepen
ing the channel to this port. Easily
accommodating q ship drawing over

hasty work has caused old shipping
men to naturally indulge In some spec
u1atfon relative to the reasons for thu.
ing the dredge return to Pensacola
and engage In deepening an already
deep and safe channel for the largest
of ships.
What gives the return OF the Caucus
rather an air OF mystery is the fact
that only few days ago, the dredge,
towing two coal baden barges, with an
aggregate cargoiof $50 tons. left for
St. Andrews. where there is an un-
completed dredging contract. Arriv-
ing at st. ANDREWS just a few hours

has now been pushed for a couple o.
days. Taking the same two coaI-laden
barges in tow, the dredge returned
here and brought along a third barge,
but there was no coal on it. The barges
and dredge are now at the navy yard.
