Where Kentucky Leads.

In the recent address before
the Advertisers Club of Louis
vile, John H. Sutcliffe, of the
Inland Farmer, brought out the
following interesting facts re-
garding agriculture products in
Kentucky and its relative posi-
rioD among States of the South.
Kentucky leads all states in
the production Of tobacco, hemp,
sorghum cane. and in thorough
bred horses.
The tobacco crop of 1915 was
369, 100000 pounds, more than
one-third of the total crop of
America
There were % states in the
Union last year that produced
farm products valued at $780,
900, 900, Kentucky was one of
these.
Kentucky is the tenth state in
the production of corn, It's yield
last year being over $4,000, OOO
bushels.
Kentucky stands seventh in
the Union in the production of
apples, its crop in 1915 being r.
400, 900 bushels. There are near
ly 100000 bearing fruit trees
in the State of Kentucky.
There are more registered Jer-
sey cattle in Shelby county, KY,
than in any county or state in
America.
The show rings of the world
have demonstrated the value of
Kentucky bred stock, not only
horses and mules, but dairy and
beef cattle, sheep and swine.
Among states located south of
the Ohio River. Kentucky leads
in nearly every agricultural
product.
1t has the largest white popu-
lation of any state south of the
Ohio river.
Seventy-fve per cent. of its
population is rural.
The value of farm property in
Kentuckp is over $500, 900, 900,
being larger than that of any
other state south of the Ohio
river.

Ohio river, Kentucky leads in
the production of dairy cattle.

tened to the Ginning of the dis
tant village bells and the respon-
sive hymn of the weary negroes
as they came home from the cot

The negro quarters around the

reyelers gathered every night
with banjo and fiddle to play,
to pat and sing and dance away

every constellation was a song.

smoke of pleasure of the bonfire

beams in the air. have heard
them laugh until the ripening
corn grinned through the shuck
and tickled chestnut burrs spread
their mouths and chuckled. The
old darkies and their kinky head

drumming batons and beat time

wool melted away like snow in
June and then reappeared in
ponderous bolts of jean and lin

And then have seen them in
the sewing room and heard the
snip of shears and the grating of
thimbles, and the singing of the
thread till the last garments
were finished and the black bod
les were made proof against the
chilling blast of winter.
And then, in the dreamy day
of autumnal glory when its gold
was on the forest and the mel
low poured amber on the russell
fields. I have watched my moth
er as she sat beside the window
in her big arm chair knitting for
the slaves. The rhythmic move
ment of her graceful fingers was
visible music; it was magic in
yarn; and the big white ball cut
capers on the floor.
And her needles danced like witches,
And those nimble fingers flew
AS they deftly threw the stitches,
And the great white stocking grew.
But as each autumn came and
went / saw new silver in her
hair and new lines OF coming age
in her beautiful face and her love
lit eyes grew dim; and then, at
last, with my old black nanny,
they buried her on the hill, and

DEFENDS TRADE RESTRAINT
Great Britain Answers United States
Protest Against the Grading
With the Enemy Act"

Washington, April 14.-Great Brit
aims reply to the American note, pro-
testing against the trading with the
enemy act as pregnant with POSSIBLE
ties of undue interference with Amer
lean trade" describes the act as pure
ly domestic legislation to restrict the
activities and trade of persons under
British jurisdiction" and assures the
United States that, in it's enforcement
every care will be exercised to avoid
injury to neutral commerce.
The act approved last December is
designed to prevent British subjects
from trading with any business firm,
which has business connections with
or is controlled in any part by Great
Sritain's enemies. In its protest the
United States expressed the opinion
that the regulations had been framed
without a proper regard for the
rights of persons domiciled in the
United States. to carry on trade with
persons in belligerent countries" and
made formal reservation of the right
to contest its legality, should it be
found that American trade was ham
pered.

NEAR BREAK WITH GERMANY

Washington, April 15.-When Presi-
dent Wilson and tbs Cabinet went
over the submarine crisis again today
they reaffirmed their determination to
bring the situation with Germany to a
showdown.
In all Official quarters here there
is evidence of the gravity of this situa-
ton. ALI officials agree the accumula-
ton of evidence has brought relations
between the two countries to the point
of a break, or else a decided change
on Germany's part. AS the President
and the Cabinet are determined that
the present condition cannot continue,
the crisis which has prevailed between
the two nations for nearly year has
reached a point where nothing but &C
ton remains for one or the other.
In Congress today report was
widely circulated that the forthcoming
note would in itself give notice Of a
severance of diplomatic relations.
There was nothing in official quarters
to substantiate the story. Cabinet of
ficers did not deny it, upon the ground
that they all had been bound in honor
by the President not to speak upon the
subject in any way.
