KENTUCKY HAS A
Big TURKEY CROP
PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR A BAN
NER cRoP-oRAssHoPPERs
REPORTED NUMEROUS.
FOUND PAYING INVESTMENT
Lexington Consumes Twenty-Five Thou
sand Each Year-An Equal Num-
Der Shipped North.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lexington, Ky.-The turkey crop Of
the Bluegrass region is reported to be
the largest and best for many years on
account not only of the dry weather Of
the early summer, but because the
farmers have found turkeys to pay so
we'll that more persons have taken to
raising them than ever before. Pro-
duce dealers have been In the county
on different occasions during the last
few weeks making contracts for the
fall supply of turkeys, and they report
that the prospects this year for a ban
ner crop are better than 1t has been at
any time during the last fourteen
years.
The grasshoppers on which turkey
raisers depend for the thriving of
their flocks in the early fall are re-
ported numerous, and the turkeys are
said to have never done better at this
season of the year. Lexington con-
sumes about $4,000 turkeys. 1t is esti-
mated, and about an equal number are
shipped from here to points in the
north and enst.

MANY PEOPLE vIcTIMIzED
Through West, and Johnson County
Clerk Asks Ruling on Question.

Louisville. Ky.-Lands lying within
the boundaries OF the ancient Walcutt
title along the Big Sandy, declared in
valid years ago by the court OF ap-
peals, are being sold in Oregon, Call.
fornia, Ontario, Florida and a dozen
other states. County Clerk Beecher
Stapleton, OF Johnson county, inform
ed Atty. Gen. Garrett that within the
eight months of his tenure of office
he has received 20 deeds under the
Walcutt title to be recorded. He de-
sires an opinion that he does not have
to file them for the purpose OF break
ing the chain Of title, which as alb
stracted looks absolutely clear to the
victims.
Away back in ITS the state of Vir-
ginia granted to Alexander Walcutt
5000 acres, lying between the forks
of tho Big Sandy, but no patent was
then taken out. At thlt time a contro-
versy was in existence between Vir-
glnia and Kentucky over the boundary.
In 1899 a commission located the
boundary along the northeastern fork
thus throwing the Walcutt lands in
Kentucky, but the general assembly.
ratifyipg the agreement and to settle
land title disputes, enacted a law,
validating entries made Of the dis
puted lands in either state as late as
October 1, 1893.

LIVE OVER WAR DAYS
Battles OF Other Days Are, Fought
Again BY Veterans.

Olympia, Ky.-Morgan's men were
at Olympian Springs. This news which
suggests invasion and occupation by
lean, hard-muscled, stern-faced young
troopers, has been mellowed and soft
ened by so long years, and those at
Olympia saw only a gathering Of gen.
tie, kindly old men. whose sabers were
transmitted by time to walking sticks.
and brave uniforms faded away, the
only trace remaining being here and
there a bronze badge, a service but
ton, or a tiny enameled CLEAN OF
stars and bars. There is no terror
now in Morgan's Terrible Men. For
a half century they have given the
strength of their minds and hearts to
winning the victories of peace. and the
honor and hospitality which is being
paid them here is as much a recog-
milton of their high ideals. and useful
citizenship, as 1t is a tribute to the
daring courage OF their hot-blooded
younger years.

MANY FARMERS
ARE INTERESTED
IN WHEAT CONFERENCE WHICH
WILL BE HELD IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.
The DEMAND WUL Be GREAT
Best Methods Of Production To Be
Discussed at the Proposed
Gathering.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lexington, Ky.-A conference OF the
farmers OF the Bluegrass section of
the state, meeting in character and
purpose similar to several annual gath
erings held TO- discussion of the
wheat problem-how to grow more
wheat and better wheat, will probably
be held in Lexington in the near fu-
ture. The holding of another such
gathering as filed the spacious ball.
room In the Phoenix hotel last year
was first suggested b. Secretary John
G. Cramer, of the Lexington CONNER
cial Club, and when the matter was
mentioned to a number of prominent
farmers the suggestion met a hearty
approval. Director of the Kentucky
Experiment Station DIR. Joseph H. Kas-
tie was advised of the proposed con-
ference, and he, too, entered heartily
into the project
The several meetings Of the past
few years bore splendid fruit, as at
tested by the big wheat harvest Of
1914, the biggest in yield and the best
in quality grown in Central Kentucky
for many years.
While 1t is true the season from
planting time until harvest was favor.
able for development and growth, the
meetings held and the discussions rel
alive to seed, soil and the care neces-
sary in seeding the crop had much to
do with educating the farmers on the
subject. Central Kentucky can grow
good wheat; in fact, as good as Kan
sas or any other state in the Union,
experts say, and the time is at hand
when the farmers ought to get to-
gether and talk over the results OF the
last harvest, how and when they seed-
ed the crop, whether or not fertilizer
was used, and in what quantities and
how best to harvest and garner the
crop to get the best prices.

while all the other great countries
have halted the normal interests OF
