TOBACCO GROWERS PROSPER.
Record. Breaking Crops Marketed al

Louisville, KY, Jan. IS. - Kentucky
farmers who raise approximately one
third of the tobacco produced in the
United States, and about one-tenth OF
the crop produced in the world. are en-
joying the unusual position Of market
ing for record breaking prices crop OF
almost record breaking size.
In addition to being one OF the larg-
est crops ever produced in this state,
Kentucky's output this year is of un-
usual quality. Leaf, Jugs and trash, as
they are called in the Technology Of
the tobacco trade, are of the finest
character The leaf tobacco Is long
clear leaf which comes from the mid
die of the plant; Tugs are the heavy
leaves, possibly spotted by the soil
which has been splashed ON them by
rain. which grow at the bottom; while
trash is made up Of small immature
leaf at the top Of the plant.
So good has the quality been that
farmers are becoming accustomed to
receiving proportionately higher prices
for the poorer grades than they do for
the best. These poorer grades are es-
sential to the production of certain
brands of manufactured tobacco and
the bidding for them has been keen.

years sold for 1 or cents pound.

tobaccos, are bringing prices farmers
would have been glad to obtain for

Within recent years Kentucky farm
ers have received an average price for
all qualities Of white hurley, the back
bone Of the tobacco crop in this state,
OF about $40 hundred pounds. Sales
ON the various markets this year have
been at an average price Of SIG to
1850 hundred pounds. The crop Of
white hurley this year will run well
over 200, ZOO. 900 pounds.
Tobacco produced in the Black

western and southern Kentucky has
experienced an advance in price even

A. @. says: The clutch Of my car
Is Of the cone variety. with a leath-
er facing. What, II anything,
should put on the leather to keep
it in good condition?
Answer: A good leather facing
requires very little attention. but an
occasional dressing Is advisable.
Castor oil Is often recommended for
this purpose, but we believe that
neatsfoot oil is better. In applying
it,, have one person hold the clutch
fully out of engagement, by pressing
the pedal, while another person ap-
plies oil to the facing with brush
or stick. The clutch can be turned
around by hand SO that all parts OF
the leather can be reached.

WHAT is A SPARK KNOCK"
N. NJ. asks: What Is spark

WHAT is A SPARK
M. NJ. asks: What is spark
knock?"
Answer; 1t II the knocking sound
that an engine produces when It IL
running on too early spark. When
the spark u too far advanced (too
early). the pressure Of the explosion
is developed before the piston
reaches the top of its stroke or upper
dead center, on the compression
stroke, and the result is that during
the last part Of this stroke the full
explosion pressure is acting to stop
the engine and tending to make 1t
turn in the reverse direction. I'm
der this heavy reverse pressure the
moving parts are severely stressed
and any looseness in the crank-shaft
bearings Is taken up in one direction.
When the piston passes dead center
and begins to go down, the direction
Of the explosion pressure Is then
such as to drive the engine in its
normal direction and any looseness
In the crank-shaft bearings is taken
up In the opposite direction. The

1907 and did not have another team un-
til in 1915. That year she played three
games with Wesleyan. all OF which Yves
leyan won. Last year. West Virginia
came to top form and pitted against an
unusually weak Wesleyan five. won both
of the games scheduled. The coming
series, then. proves to be the rubber,
and for the first time in the three years
that these teams hav competed on the
floor they seem to be something near
evenly matched.
So far this season wesleyan has
much better record than the University
team except insofar as games played
against teams in common have been con-
cerned. Three teams have been met by
both West Virginia and Wesleyan with
the following results:
wesleyan Record:
Wesleyan %, Marietta College. 20.
Wesleyan Is. University Of Vtr. 81:
Wesleyan Is. Washington Il Lee. Is.
West virgins Record:
West Virginia 25. Marietta College, 2S.
West Virginia IS. Wash. 6: Lee. 81.
The game of the three scheduled
which promises to be most bitterly
fought and doubtful Of result is that
to be played on the University floor ut
Morgantown next Monday. Wesleyan's
team this year has unQuest1onably
shown much better form away from
her home floor than at Buckhannon. an
unusual condition in basketball
This fact together with the expected
strengthening Of the University team
efficiency when playing away from
home and before an antagonistic crowd
points to an unusually hard fought
game.
