Name Your Farm.

Since the Inauguration of the Good
Roads" movement in Kentucky and the
construction of many miles of the best
roads found in America, this State has
been quite a haven for tourists, coming
from almost every state in the Union.
and since many of our farmers have
failed to recognize and grasp the benefits
derived through the medium of publicity
in placing their names on gates and en-.
frances to their farms. l am calling up
on the land owners in every county in
this Common wealth to please have a
board or sign painted, giving the name
of the owner of each farm, also the name
of the farm. if same bears such, and post
in a conspicuous place, on the gate or at
the entrance to the farm. This will re-
quire but little effort and expense upon
the part of each landowner and the
benefits derived through such simple
and inexpensive methods of publicity
can not.be over estimated.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
