I did not have il thinned enough,
Our county agent. Mr.. Spence,
who is known throughout the most
part Of this county, visited me
several times, coming at times when
he could represent three clubs at
once. visiting my corn, chickens,
and pigs.
After having my corn laid by,
let il stand until thoroly matured

hills square. II cost one dollar and
half To have il cut, taking fifteen
hours 10 cut il and shock il right
After letting il stand in the shock
until I could shell il from the cob,
I had il shucked, hauled. weighed
and put into the crib.
The total weight Of the corn was
s.2l5 lbs. which. when figured up,
was one hundred and fourteen
bushels, seven pounds. The cost
of having il shucked and hauled
was three dollars and sixty cents
While il was being shucked and
hauled, I selected from it ten ears,
which | exhibited at the corn show
This tells you how grew my acre
Of corn, and I may say that this
corn club is one Of the greatest
things Kentucky could give TO her
farmer boys. whether they be edu-
Gated or not. You know it only
allows boys from the age of ten to
eighteen to enter. and I think Ken
lucky should have a corn club for
her young men from the age OF
eighteen to thirty, then her farmers
should know enough that they could
not be beaten. I am fourteen years
of age and | may also say that the
corn club is teaching us boys how
to become the best and most profit
able farmers and men of the future

HOW I GREW MY ACRE OF CORN
By Iona C. Fish

In growing my first acre of corn,
the first thing | did was to sow rye
on my acre last fall to have ready
to turn under this spring when
broke up my acre. This rye put
into my soil more humus.
In breaking my soil broke 1T ten
inches deep as my soil averages
about twelve inches. After break
ing my ground | first rolled it with
a pulverizer roller. Then | har-
rowed it, using a disc harrow. After
having il narrowed / rolled it again
putting il in fair condition for plant
ing.
Having it in fair condition for
planting, | planted it with a one
horse drill on the twentieth day OF
May. using red cob corn. In about
week il came up; and found
had a good stand. | then waited
about two weeks, then cultivated II
for the first time; using a riding
cultivator. Waiting about ten
days I cultivated it the second time

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS

The commonest stains that have
TO be removed from textile fabrics
are ink. grass stains, iron rust mil
dew, grease spots, paint and tar.
These require treatment according
10 the nature Of the stain and the
fabric. The principal chemicals
that are well TO keep on hand In
the laundry closet 10 remove stains
are certain acids, especially oxalic,
tartaric and muratic acid, together
with ammonia and hyposulphate of
soda TO neutralize the effect Of the
acid after the stain has been re-
moved. Various substances that
have the power Of cutting or dis
snlving gums and resins, as alcohol,
chloroform and oil Of turpentine,
and certain absorbants as chalk,
french chalk. pipe clay, fuller's
earth. and the like. Other useful
articles - as fresh milk. sour milk,
butter milk, cream Of tartar, lemon
juice. salt, raw potato, etc. will
usually be at hand.
Treatment of stains in general
should be progressive, beginning
with the milder remedies and re-
rcserving the more powerful ones
to the last. Fresh stains are much
more soluble than those that are
allowed to remain until various
chemical changes have taken place
Hence, prompt treatment is always
advisable.
Soap should never be applied To a
stained fabric until the stains have
been removed. After chemical treat
ment the article should be first
rinsed in clear water and then
washed in soapsuds or put into the
regular wash.

FARMERS WEEK

The best farmers and breeders
from all parts Of Kentucky will as
semble at the Agricultural College
st Lexington on January 2nd, 3rd,
9Th and 5th TO hold what is desig-
mated as Farmers Week" The four
DAYS will be devoted TO the annual
conventions and shows Of twelve
state wide associations Of stockmen,
farmers. etc, aside from the womens'
work.
Reduced rates have been secured
over all railroads.
This occasion presents a rare OPP
portunity to meet the most success
ful men in various lines Of farming,
10 hear them discuss their methods
and plans and to see their exhibits.
All is absolutely free.
Competitive exhibits Of corn, dairy
products. honey. horticultural pro-
ducts and womens' work will be
held. Handsome premiums have
been provided for the winners in all
these classes. Frequently in the
mast, many of the classes have been
poorly filled, thus allowing single
entries To win valuable premiums
without competition. This largely
defeats the educational purposes OF
the shows and il is hoped that TINS
wear the classes will be much bet
ter filed.
While the cash and merchandise
are valuable they are the least gam
that visitors to the Farmers Week
NAV hope to obtain. Every visitor
will feel that he has enjoyed liberal
education and will return home with
renewed enthusiasm, ideas and de-
termination.
BY reading the following list OF
conventions to he held during the
four days, any alert farmer will
see that he can i'll afford to miss
spending the week at the Agricui-
tural College.

DIRECTORY OF KENTUCKY
BREEDERS OF PURE BRED
LIVE STOCK

The State Department of Agri-
culture is preparing revised edi-
ton of a DIRECTORY of Kentucky
Breeders of Pure Live Stock" and
would appreciate anyone who de-
sires his name to appear in same to
write the Department direct.
This little bulletin has proven a
popular one and is mailed not only
throughout Kentucky but to other
states as many requests are contin-
ually coming to the Department for
same. Il has served to bring be-
fore the public where the best
foundation stock can be found in
this state, hence the great necessity
of being accurate as possible in its
compilation and it is the Depart
ment's desire to omit no name in
this revised edition Of any breeder
of pure bred live stock in the State
RI any breeder who has not already
been in communication with the De-
partment of Agriculture in regard
TO this, will notify Mat 5. Cohen
Commissioner Of Agriculture, Frank
fort, KY, giving name, address and
kind of pure bred stock he raises
his name will be included in this
directory thus enabling the De
partment to make a complete and
up-to-date revision Of same.
