t. II. Guyon, who has been the COM
pany agent here for the past several
years, rendered his resignation some

Fight on Water Bill

The water law produced more fire.
works than the Senate had listened
to before this session Tuesday after
noon. An impassioned address ly
State Engineer Kearney, in which he
bitterly attacked the opponents of the
present water law, and asked the
Senate to kill the new bill. was easily
the feature of what was undoubtedly
the warmest session the Senate has
yet held.
Kearney addressed the Senate un-
der an invitation extended by that
body. He said the new water bill
was the Essence of corporation
greed" and that there were in the
house at that time Representatives OF
the biggest corporations in the State
conducting a lobby for the passage
of the new act.
He contended that the present law
is the little rancher's" law, and asked
the Senate to kill the Assembly bill.
RIM. Hardy, member of the Assem-
bly, from Humboldt county. also ad-
dressed the Senate, supporting the
new bill. He said it had been draft
ed by the attorney-general, Attorney
Gardner of Reno and himself, and
represented the diverse interests,
which had agreed that ii was a good
bill The committee reported the bill
without recommendation after having
voted down motions to report favor
ably and unfavorably
The motion to report favorably was
lost on a tie vote OF six to six, and
the motion TO report unfavorably was
lost by a vote of five to six.

Too Old al Forty?

That is a wall that always goes
up throughout the country. But
a writer in the June American
Magazine says it could be disre-
garded if people made them
selves more useful as they grew
older. He writes:
''For man to be too old at for
ty is not natural. Scientists tell
US that the life periods of man
compare with the life history of
the race.
I'm most business and profess
ions the period of mature man.
hood is commonly the period of
great skill. The body still re-
tains its elasticity; previous
training and acquired good hab-
its count in daily work; expert
ence now begins to return div
idends. The individual devel-
ops common sense, conservatism
and deliberation. He is less like.
ly to be swayed by the primitive
emotions of younger life. Well
laid plans mature; returns from
previous investments in time,
labor and money begin to come
in.
but it is during this period
that the competition of newer
workers in the same field begins
to be felt. The apprentices in
! the trades, and students in the
schools begin to get foothold in
competition with the established
worker. And-what is of vita
importance-the beginner is will.

Sorghum . Valuable Farm Crop,

Sorghum as a farm crop has
been generally underestimate.
Corn is frequently grown and
used under conditions wherein
sorghum would be a much more
valuable crop. The department
of farm crops of the College Of
Agriculture is of the opinion that
a more general use of sorghum is
hindered by a lack of informa-
ton concerning the crop, by the
fact that under certain very ex-
ceptional conditions sorghum be-
comes poisonous to stock, and by
the opinion that the crop is hard
on land. The last two hin.
drarces are by no means serious.
Aside from its special use for
syrup, sorghum owes its value
as general farm crop to three
outstanding characteristics of
the plant. In the first place, the
sorghum plant, pound for pound,
is nearly as valuable for feeding
as corn. Again, under condi-
tions favorable for the growth of
corn, sorghum will outyield corn
as forage Including ensilage)
and will compare favorably with
corn in yield of grain. Finally
the ability of sorghum to with
stand adverse conditions, espec-
tally drouth, makes the crop an
extremely reliable one for the
production of feed. Since the
greatest use of sorghum is for
feed, its value must be reckoned
in its ability to produce feed.
The varieties of sorghum are d.
vided into two groups, sweet or
saccharine and grain or nom
saccharine. The sweet sor-
ghums are grown for forage,
pasturage, silage and as soiling
crops, while the grain sorghums
are grown chiefly for grain.

TO the Farmers Of Kentucky.

The extension department of
Kentucky Agriculture sends the
following appeal to farmers of
this State, with special applica-
ton to the Blue Grass region:
The central Blue Grass region
is the most fertile part of Ken
lucky and is capable of produc-
ing an enormously greater food
supply than it has ever done. 1t
is the patriotic duty of every far
mer in this rich section to pro-
duce all the food crops possible
during this time of stress. Let
him not deceive himself by
thinking that because he can
get a large price for his tobacco,
he can buy such food products
as he may not raise on the farm.
In the first place, he may be
surprised to find food at such
high prices that his ground
would have been more profitably
cultivated in food crops. In the
second place, he may find that
he cannot buy food, no matter
how much money he may have.
We shall not try to tell the
farmer whether he shall grow
tobacco or not, but we can safely
say that he is not doing his duty
to his country if he does not pro-
duce as much of food products
as is by any means possible.
Many of our people have the
idea that Kentucky has been in
the habit of producing her own
supply of foodstuffs. but this is
not the case, as we import large
quantities of food supplies every
year.
If a farmer in the Blue Grass
section can grow tobacco and al
80 produce a maximum of food
crops, he may grow tobacco. but
if it is a case of neglecting one
or the other, then there can be
no question that it is his duty to
give up tobacco. The danger
arising from tobacco production
in Kentucky at this time is not
from the acreage devoted to the
crop, but the labor required to
grow it. The labor expended
on an acre of tobacco would pro-
duce ten acres of corn. We
have the land in the Blue Grass
but not the labor.

Sunday on Wives.

81 plead for a happy, moon

many men praying look like a

praising your wife, even if it
does brighten her at first. If
you went a whole day without
cussing your wife she would
send for the doctor. Treat her
like an angel if you don't want
her to be a devil. It'll make
you recall her as the bluesashed

ANY wife worth her sal is
worth praising. 1t would spoil
a mule the way some men treat
their wives. They marry to get
some one to cook or patch their
breeches.
Men have done a good deal

Recreation as Usual.

1t will be unfortunate if, in our
anxiety concerning the war and
the progress of the war, we
should spread abroad a gloom in
America such as necessarily per-
vades the nations of Europe.
America is not to be devas-
tated. She is not to be invaded.
If her business be disturbed it
will be disturbed, chiefly, by IN
wise interference with business.
We will have to submit to heavy
tax burdens, but these do not
count for a great deal in compar-
ison with the mastering of SOL
diers and sailors, the temporary
disturbance of personal relations.
1t is not heartless, under these
circumstances, to seek rest, rec
reation and change. 1t is more
essential now than ever that we
maintain a well-balanced mind,
and that we free our hearts from
fear.
Let US take our recreations as
usual, more freely, more reason
ably. Some persons prefer drill
ing to golf. Drilling is for them.
Others prefer golf to baseball.
Probably baseball appeals to a
larger number of persons. 1t is
a clean sport, and it is healthy
recreation. Others are to in
dulge in gardening, which is
profitable mentally and physical
ly, whatever the price of seed or
how small the crop.
Let the aim of every American
man or woman be to maintain a
sound mind in a sound body, at
this time above all times. The
country makes a demand not
solely upon ones physical forces
or his financial powers, but upon
all the faculties of each citizen.
The citizens of America con-
troll America, and the course Of
America has placed her as the
leader of the world. There is a
call, therefore, for the highest
qualities of citizenship, in all
the relations of the citizen to his
neighbors and his friends; to his
business and his business associ-
ates; to his party and party lead:
ers. Let every citizen be pre-
pared, especially in his field, to-
give the best service that he can
render. Louisville Post,
