KENTUCKY FARMERS DEMON
sTRATInN TRAIN

June z, 8 and o will long be re-
membered by the farmers OF Ken
lucky. Eastern and western Ken
lucky farmers, met central Kentucky
farmers at Lexington, June 7. II was
the greatest step Kentucky has ever
made along agricultural lines. Five
hundred Kentucky farmers with Ex-
pertinent Station force visited Fay
cite. woodford, Pendleton and JET
ferson counties.
First visiting State Experiment
Station and there observing their
own property and seeing what the
State is doing for the farmers. After
visiting Offices and laboratories the
farm was visited, observing the
growing crops and real demonstra-
ton work. II meant much TO the
farmers. At 1890 dinner was served
by the University. After dinner the
party was taken by street cars to
Versailles where eighty or more au-
tomobiles were waiting TO carry the
visiting farmers TO points in Wood
ford county.
First stop was at Senator Cam
denis. The senator and wife met and
shook hands with every man while
his daughters were handing out CT
CARS and matches as the farmers
passed out into the beautiful lawn
filled with flowers and pool OF gold
fish. The greenhouse and vegetable
garden were visited, the party be-
ing lead by Miss Camden. Horses
were shown and many other inter-
esting things.
The autos were again loaded and
the party moved on TO Midway. From
Midway to Mckee Bros. Duroc hogs
attracted attention there. Mr.. Mckee
has 800 now on his farm. IL was
quite interesting 10 see the differect

Public School. It was a delicious
supper. Many of the hungry farm
ers were served twice and yet there
was plenty left. The big-hearted
people OF Versailles passed around
in the crowded lawn and admins
tered to the more timid ones. After
supper all gathered to the Chautau-

GOOD FARM WORK FOR JUNE

Keep the cultivators running
breaking crusts, killing weeds, and
saving moisture. The corn field in
June is about the thirstiest thing we
know OF, and IL is simply astonishing
the amount OF water the growing
crop needs. During the average
growing season plenty Of moisture
falls. but because Of lack Of cultiva-
ton or the wrong kind Of cultivation
our crops often suffer from a short
age az a critical period in their
growth. A fine dust mulch, two in
ches thick, will hold the water In
the soil, and save the crops in time

Cultivation

To cultivate deep enough TO Keep
a good dust mulch, and at the same
time shallow enough not 10 seriously
enjure the roots, is not always easy.
The truth is that in cultivation deep
enough TO establish dust mulch
and all effective is saving moisture
is deep enough to cut good many
roots. Likewise, destroying grass
and weeds simply cannot be done
effectively without destroying plant
roots as we'll. Generally we would
say that in cultivation, less than
one inch and one and one-half inches
would be a mulch too shallow TO be
effective in holding moisture, and
anything deeper than two and one
half or three inches will do more
harm than good on account OF the
excessive root injury. Our prefer
ence on an average would be Tor
cultivation somewhere around two
inches deep. A mulch OF this depth
will usually hold the moisture pref
ty effectively, and while some roots
will be broken in making it, this is
an unavoidable evil.

HORRIBLY MINGLED IN NEW LONDON YARD,
Mikoly Barse Dies in Ambulance on
 Way to Hospital.

MilColy Barsc of 25 Douglass street, New London, a Pole, familiarity known as Mike Smith. was fatally injured early Saturday morning when he was struck by a New Haven road train at the foot of Douglass street. Barsc died from his injuries on the way to the Lawrence hospital
 Barsc, horribly mangled about the lower part of the body, was found by the crew of a yard switcher about 4.45. The man was lying beside the eastbound track and his means at tracted the attention of the fiagman of the switcher.
 Yardmaster Timothy S. V. Collins was notified of the fR6ing of the man and Dr. F M DunF F% was furriedlv called. On the arrival of the physi- clan Barsc was alive, but unconscious. Emergency treatment was administer ed, after which he was placed aboard the Lawrence hospital ambulance He was being rushed to the hospital when he died.
 Both legs were completely severed, his skull was fractured, there were inter- nal injuries and tme body was other wise mangled. After the body had been removed one of his shoes contain ing the crushed foot was found wedged between the crossing plank and the rail so tightly that it had to be pried out.
 It is not known which train struck Barsc. That the man was picking U coal along the track is evident from the fact that a partially filled bag of coal was discovered close by the spot where he was struck. The office of Superintendent Lftchfield has been un- able to ascertain which trairf hit the man.
 It is supposed that Barsc was picked up by one of the early morning Owl trains leaving Boston and New York at midnight and passing through at 3.15 and $40 o'clock, although it is possible that the man was struck by a freight train. If either of the fast pas senger trains hit Barsc no evidence could be found on the engines of the trains to indicate that such was the case.
 The theory is advanced that Barsc while picking up coal saw one train approach and in getting out of the way stepped directly in front of train going in the opposite direction.
 Barsc is 53 years of age and is sur vived by his widow.
