Mrs. Crit Marques, Mrs. Melton

field and hearing commotion went
to the house and his story was that

dered them off the place. Hender-
son replied you make US go" and
he alleges threatened to cut his

day in an endeavor to have the embar-
go on export tobacco removed. ley
called at the British Embassy and IN
the absence of Sir Cecil Spring Rice
conferred with an under secretary re-
garding the export tobacco situa-
ton. The Kentuckians made it clear
that under normal indus trial condi-
lions, Germany serves as a distribu-
ting center for about $4,000, 200
pounds of dark tobacco year, much
of which is grown in Kentucky, and
that the growers are suffering great
financial losses because of the refus-
al of Great Britain to permit ship
ments to Germany.
The under secretary said that he
could do nothing in the matter, and
referred the Kentuckians to Secre.
tary Lansing.
1t is expected that Mr.. Lansing
will take the matter up, again with
the British Foreign Office in the near
future. Mr.. EIgn stopped off here
On his way home from abroad. He
served for five years as adviser of
the Union of South Africa on how to
grow tobacco. He said that 5,O0O,-
900 pounds of tobacco year are now

Spring Pig Crop Is Very Promising

For the week ending April 18th.
Favorable conditions prevailed dur

opens few days later than usual, the
prospects at present aer promising
for good crop year. The mean tenn

was 26.5 degrees, or IL degrees above
degrees colder than the same period
in the winter of 1914. There was
considerable more than the normal
amount of precipitation. rain and
melted snow, and 1O.7 inches more
than the normal amount of unmelted
snow, March was cold and dry, but
there was an excess of snowfall.
Freezing temperatures occurred near
ly every night, which prevented any
filed work being done, except in the
southern counties. April opened cold
and dry, but more favorable conditions
have prevailed during the last week.
The temperature was much higher and
showers were general on Thursday
and Friday. Farm work was rushed.
and the seeding of small grain is
practically finished in the southern
counties and is well advanced in
northern sections except in the
north central district, where the
ground is still too wet. The acreage
OF barley and spring wheat will prob
ably be increased, with about the nor
NAL area of oats, Clover, grass and
fall sown grains suffered but little or
no damage during the winter and arc
now in excellent condition generally.
There will be large acreage seeded

live stock came through the winter in
fairly good shape, but. the supply of
feed is getting short in many local..
ties. The spring pig crop is prom
