Chautauqua Talk.

We heard the Chautauqua program
outlined at the Chautauqua meeting last
night Harry Minor, Asst. Mgr of the
Redpath-H orner circuit was in town
and met with the-committee to explain
the plans for next summer.
He says the dates will be from Aug
9th to 18th A shift of a day or~two
may be made in the next week or so
but that is not probable. The location
will be the same as last year
The plan of the program, as outlined
by Mr.. Minor, is a bit unusual. 1t is,
however, an extension of the Redpath-
Horner program of last summer in its
emphasis of these four factors: The
church, school, community interest
and playground.
The HOrner idea is a purpose program
or nothing. They believe in entertain
ment, and an abundance of it, but that
the create good will :come from the
Chautauqua if even the entertainment
can be backed by a strong element of
parpose.
I'VE are going to bring in seven of
the highest grade musical numbers
that will step on to the Ghautauqua
platform this summer" Mr.. Minor said,
but want to tell you more about the
other features before we discuss the
musical and entertainment numbers.
I'VE believe that the class of people
back of the Chautauqua are a busy
people They haven't much time for
anything that hasn't a real value to il,
nor much time TO spend with a propo
sition unless they can get something
outof it besides pleasant bit of enjoy
ment- At ieast not on a proposition as
big as the Chautauqua.
The most important factor for good
in your community is your churches.
Churches are made up of human
beings. Human beings must work in
diligently to do their most effective
work in any undertaking. We are
sending out a man who has done big
things in church work to discuss
church problems to church people who
comprise the greater part of your
Ghautauqua hackers His name is
Roy B Guild. He is the successor of
one of the best known preachers in
the world, Chas. NJ. Sheldon, of To
peka, and he is one of the greatest
religious workers in the country. His
latest big Office was as secretary of
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment,. which swept over the country
with such effectiveness a few years
ago.
Every one of you parents and
patrons of the public schools realize
the responsibility in the education of
your boys and girls And the success
of your pu olio school system is largely
dependent on the amount of thought
and intelligent interest given to it by
those who are patrons and supporters
of it.
"You expect to grow here in the
next few years. And as your town
grows, your schools must grow in like

CORN CHAMPIONSHIP AND

as the worlds champion corn grow
er, spent Farmers week in Lexing-
ton and has attracted much atten-
tion from the persons attending the
agricultural and livestock fair be-
ing held at the Experiment Station
and College of Agriculture of State
University. Mr.. Hutson won the
championship by raising 231 bush
els and 81 pounds OF corn on an
acre OF ground in competition with
the farmers OF the entire United
States.
An interesting fact in connection
with the raising OF this enormous
yield is that Its grower used no
fertilizer on the fertile acre.
In speaking OF the method by
which he produced the remarkable
growth Mr.. Hutson said:
THE ground on which the corn
was grown lies east and west and
mas a slope OF about five feet from
west to east and Is part OF a val
ley formed between two hills. II Is

ALFALFA IN KENTUCKY.

Scattered about in many sections
of Kentucky one finds farmers who
have some alfalfa growing upon thei
farms. From productive standpoint
many of these fields of alfalfa are
very poor, They represent simply the
possibilities Of alfalfa, in the par.
ticular section, when the conditions
necessary for the production of the
crop are fully met. Here and there
in the State, however, are found
men who, with thorough knowl-
edge of the requirements of alfalfa,
are eminently successful in growing
the crop.
A farmer can consider himself
successful with alfalfa when he is
able to harvest three or four cut
tings a year, aggregating a yield
of from three to five tons per acre,
and when the field has been kept
comparatively free from weeds and
has been productive for several
years.
Every live farmer knows the SUI
perior feeding value of alfalfa for
nearly all kinds of live stock. The
question is, can he grow it?
The climate of Kentucky is con-
genial to alfalfa, and in many sec
tions the soil is sufficiently fertile
to grow the crop successfully. The
lack of proper preparation of the
seed bed is often the cause Of fail
are. Soils which will grow from forty
10 fifty bushels of corn per acre are
rich enough to grow alfalfa, while
some soils not quite SO productive
can be prepared for alfalfa by grow
ing crop OF cowpeas TO turn under.
In sections low in phosphorus con-
tent finely ground phosphate rock
should be added. /
The Kentucky Experiment Station
IS so interested in the value of al
'alla to the farmer that the Extern
zion Department Is making a special
,ffort to become acquainted with all
growers, and in addition
$ offering its services in directing
he work of clubs of farmers whose
members wish to grow a few acres
Il alfalfa under instructions. The
Extension Department has now
God number OF farmers in the State
tho are In this way learning to
row alfalfa, but is able to offer its
ervices to few more groups of
lrmers for the coming year.
Any farmer who has become In
crested in the growing of alfalfa
/ his community is invited to cor
espond early with the Extension ]
apartment, concerning the forma-
on of an alfalfa club, and its sub
,quent direction by this Depart
ent.
