What Rock.
castle Could Do
BY 100000
BOND ISSUE

Mr.. Editor, what our people are
want ng to know l believe, is, if
we should issue bonds how we
could ever pay for them, without
bankrupting ourselves. Well |
will endeavor to answer this ques-
ton satisfactory. At a stated
meeting of our last Legislature
they very wisely enacted a law
placing Sets tax on all personal
and realty property in the state of
Kentucky thereby creating a
yearly fund of something over
100000 with the automobile IL
cense tax added, making it some
thing near 100000 and the Legis-
lature further stated that each and
every county that will put itself
in an attitude to receive it, may
draw down 2 per cent of this sum
every year which would provide
Rockcastle county with $I200C
each year. Now then, if we will
issue 800, 900 bonds at S per cen,
you can readily see that the State
alone, will pay $4,000 for the inter
est on the bonds and provide {
sinking fudd of $4,000 each year t.
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1915-01-15

meet the payments of the bonds
in the end Then say that Rock
castle county inst has 100000
taxable property bur you all know
she has more. What would a rs
cts levy bring into the Golfers of
the county, $500 each, year, now
add it on but the State would
give US after paying the interest
for US on our same bonds which
would be $6OOOxS75OO would be
$13 500 we would pay the first
year and it would be less next
year and next. as you can readily
see, until the bonds would pay for
themselves in less than years.
Now with the State pay ing Scots
of every dollar we spend on our
roads lets see who would pay the
balance of the other Scots. Rook-
castle county is very fortunate in
deed to have the L. & N. Rail
Road Co., in its bounds, running
thru our county two way, who
pay something like 43 per cent
of all the tax in the county, then
we have three incorporated towns
namely, Livingston, Brodhead and
Mt. Vernon, who would pay 80 per
cent of all the taxes paid in the
county, making rs per cent of the
taxes of Rockcastle county paid
by the L. & N. R. X. Co.. and the
three incorporated towns within.
The L.& N. nor single one of the
incorporated towns would receive
one penny of the road money as
you know the l.. & N. don't use
dirt roads or pixies and the incor-
poratA towns have to build their
own streets. Now that the l.. &
N. r. R, Co. and the three incor.
porated towns would pay IS per
cent of the 50cts left to he paid by
the county as whole, what would
be left fol the farmer to pay? 1t
is plain to see that IS per cent of
Scots is 37a cts. leaving 12t Cts of
every dollar expended On the roads
to be paid by the farmer and S79
cts paid by the state and corpor
alton and incorporated towns, and
the farmer also gets the roads
The State has charge of the build
ing of the roads in every particular
thereby assuring us that it viii

Is characteristic Of good quality of
lettuce. That good "heading-up"
characteristics are related to the size
Of the seed has been found by ex-
tensive and careful experiments car
ried on for several seasons. AS to the
results of these experiments, several
points are worthy Of note In summar-
izing. Marked differences in favor Of
large seed appear in the Seeding
stage, a point of little value In itself
we're 1t not for the fact that an early
advantage influences later growth
Large seeds start the plants off bet
ter; and great leaf surface area in
early life is of permanent benefit.
Moreover, heavier plants, better heads,
and greater uniformity at edible ma
turity are usually secured. In every
instance and at almost every stage of
growth 1t could be seen that the plants
grown from large seed were much
more uniform In stature and in time
and manner Of heading. Plants grown
from small seed were very variable
In size and Quality-some very good,
a few mediocre. and many very poor.
Some headed early, but most of them
were tardy in forming the heart and
in firming the head.
It seems reasonable to conclude
that large sized seeder is factor in
producing head lettuce of good quality
and earlfness of maturity. In the
writer's judgment the lack of plant
uniformity commonly observed in
commercial lettuce culture is quite
apt to be due to the use of seed which
Is variable in size and consequently.
variable in value.
