withdrew herself from his arms, her

C. a o. FILES A BIG MORTGAGE

The Chesapeake 4 Ohio Railway
Company has filed in the office OF the
Secretary OF State at Frankfort a
mortgage agreement with the Com
mercial Trust Company OF New York
pleading It's equipment as security for
a loan OF one million dollars, payable
in thirty years.
Except for the length OF the term of
the mortgage. the character OF the loan
would Indicate the intended purchase
OF added equipment, the usual method,
in recent years, being for railroads to
buy new engines, cars, and other equip
ment with borrowed money obtained
by short term mortgages. The long
term OF the Commercial Trust Com
pany mortgage indicates that other
uses are intended for the money.
Reports are current that the yards at
Russell, the Eastern Kentucky term
linus, are To be enlarged to accommo-
date larger coal traffic and that a
fifteen mile extension up the right fork
OF Beaver creek north of Whitesburg
on the border of Knott and Floyd coun
ties, will be made to encourage min
ing operations by the Elkhorn Mining
Corporation and other large mining
interests in that section.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

While on a trip through the Deep
Hole and Pleasant Ridge country
found the men who are demonstrating
winter oats and cowpeas as opposed to
spring oats and cane as feed for all
forms of land In their praise of the
new crops. They have pasture a win
ter cover crop, early pasture and a
winter feed out OF cowpeas that takes
the place of corn and ordinary hay. In
three communities OF this section men
have just purchased or are arranging
for better bred sires. They like the
Herefords best
Later in the week mingled with the
people of Rockcastle and Laurel and
found quite an interest in improved
seed corn. improved live stock and In
getting grass on their hill sides. One
progressive farmer had just been out
to the Preece farm and there saw more
than dozen acres OF thrifty alfalfa
and learned for the first time that this
rich feed can be successfully grown in
this valley. Before he left this wen
planned farm he purchased pair OF
pure bred duroc jersey pigs, They
don't look like other hogs in the COM
munity and believe they are the first
pure bred animals ever seen on this
creek.
A very recent letter from the Expert
ment Station tell of a marketing inves-
tigation that is being started with the
County Agents. Just at this time some
organizations are being affected and
set to work that will look closely after
this work in the future.

is generally believed in railroad circles
that Immediately following it's location

ton.
The connection at Shelby Junction
would be most important one, es-
pecially from a coal and timber
standpoint, as the Big Sandy branch
of the c. & o. is heavy carrier of the
commodities, and this road would give
an important Eastern and Northeast
ern outlet.
Nearby is Elkhorn City, the terminus
of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio
road, connecting with the South Allan
tic seacoast points. With traffic ar
rangements with both the C. & o. and
the c., c. & o., the building of the Vir-
GINA would give it an important South
ern connection.
AS result of the report of pro-
jected extension, property values at
Shelby Junction. and all along the
route have made a big increase. It is
said that Shelby Junction will become
an important terminal.
