SELECTING FARM BOYS
TO ATTEND STATE FAIR

The Farm Boys Encampment, one
of the most important as well as
picturesque features of the Kentucky
State Fair, annually takes to this
agricultural and livestock celebra-
ton juvenile representative of the
12O counties Of the State.
To the boy standing sponsor for
his home section the trip is an epoch
and the honor much coveted and
striven for. Heretofore the eligible
candidates were selected from farm
boys between the ages of fifteen and
eighteen years, and through written
competitive examinations submitted
to a committee composed of a mum
Der of the State Board of Agriculture
and of the faculty of the Agricul.
tural College.
In accordance with the new ruling
of the State Board of Agriculture,
the county representatives will be
selected from the members of the
Boys Corn Clubs and Boys Pig Clubs
only and by the individual records
made in growing either one acre of
corn or in raising one pig each, and
in keeping daily tabulated record
of the cost and progress of the ex-
pertinent. Each county must have
fifteen or more members to the club.
Where a question of substitution
arises the board will consider first
the Pig Club boys in the counties
that have corn clubs organized.
Where there are no corn clubs or
pig clubs organized the board re-
serves the right to appoint substi-
tutes for the remaining counties, in
accordance with a plan yet to be
formulated. Boys who have attend
ed former encampment will not be
eligible in this contest.
B. G. Nelson, of Hopkinsville, KY,
is State agent for the Boys Corn
Clubs. land Otis Kercher, of Lexing-
ton, KY, is State agent for the Boys
Pig Clubs, and boys desiring to enter
for the encampment contest may i'm
mediately notify either of the agents.

Simple Remedy.

A simple but eficacious steam rem
edy for cold in the head and hoarse-
ness is to inhale steam from a sponge
dipped in boiling water. Cover the
sponge with boiling water, wrap a
towel around it so that you can hold
the ends of the towel instead of the
scalding sponge. Bury your nose and
mouth in the covered sponge and
breathe through nose and mouth.
When the sponge loses heat, remove
he towel and pour on some more boil
ing water.
Cold compress is an excellent and
easy cure for sore throat. Wrap cloths
wrung out in iced water round the
throat and renew as soon as they
grow warm.

Iron should play an important part
in preparing meals. II is essential In
the making Of the red corpuscles In
the blood and is directly concerned
with the processes Of oxidation and re-
production. The iron OF the food en-
tiers the circulation and is deposited
mainly in the liver, the spleen and the
bone marrow. Iron may be taken as
a medicine and stimulates the produc-
ton of hemoglobin and red blood cor
puscles, but Il Is better to get II II
possible directly through food and wa
ter.
The amount Of iron needed appears
to be varied with different indiv,du-
ais, depending on the nature Of their
work, diet and other conditions. Care
full experiments have shown that the
average man under normal conditions
requires about fifteen muligrams of
iron per day. The average woman is
supposed to require about eight-tenths
as much food as a man and the same
proportion Of iron will suffice. A child
that needs half as much food requires
the same proportion Of iron.
AS long as infants are drinking milk
they get only a small amount of iron,
but 1t is interesting to know that
certain amount has been stored in
their systems at birth to tide them
over until they get diet which con-
tains its share Of iron.
Beefsteak and some vegetables are
rich in iron. In meat the iron exists
largely as hemoglobin, due to the blood
contained in the muscular tissues.
Iron in combination with protein mat
ter is found in considerable quantity
in grains. String beans, navy dried
beans, lima beans, spinach especial
ly, cabbage and dried peas are rich
in iron. Among the fruits, that have
plenty of iron are dried prunes, apples
md raisins.
