LEXINGTON RACE MEET BEGINS
TOMORROW.

Tomorrow will be the opening
day of the fall meeting of the Lex
ington races. A bigger, better fall
meeting is predicted this year than
ever before by the officials of the
Kentucky Association. The reason
mainly, is the Breeders Futurity,
which for the first time this year
will be ruin in the fall meeting. The
shift of the classic for two-year-olds
means the addition of one of the
greatest races of the year to the fall
meeting. The fall meeting program,
always chucked full of good races,
has been exceedingly livened by the
addition of the big Juvenile races,
which will be presented in its eighth
renewal this year.
No vacant space at all, is the
statement of Track Superintendent
James P. Ross.
The announcement of the officials
for the meeting has been made, and
assures fair play and good handling
of the fall races. Following are the
track officials: T. J. Clay, steward;
w. H. Shelley, racing secretary; H.
Morrissey, starter; S. K. Hughes,
timer; J. S. Wallace, entry clerk and
assistant secretary; James p. Ross,
track superintendent; James T.
Shannon, paddock judge, and Peter
WINNER, patrol judge.
John B. Mclaughlin, supervisor of
the ~pari-mutuals, by appointment of
the State Racing Commission, re-
manned in Lexington all summer and
is ready with the betting machines.

BOOKS FOR THE SOLDIERS.

Miss Imogene Redmon, librarian
Of the Paris Public Library, has been
designated as the Bourbon county
representative of the Kentucky Lii
brary War Council, organized for
the purpose of supplying books, pa
pers and magazines to the Kentucky
troops in the various mobilization
camps, and when they are "some-
where In France"
The plan of organization for each
county calls for a director and ten
leading citizens of the community
named by the County Director, as
the County Library War Council. 1t
is the duty of this Council to conduct
the campaign to raise funds for the
purpose Of purchasing books, papers
and magazines. The assessment is
tive per cent. of the population ac-
cording to the 1910 census. The
plan is to ask each person in the
more. The members of the Council
each in turn are to ask ten other
persons each to subscribe $1.00 or
more, and they each in turn to get
subscribers of $1.00 from residents
of the county to assist in making up
the assessment. The organization
should include every city, town and
village in the county. This chain
plan of personal solicitation should
make 1T easy to raise the small
amount called for.

Will Exempt seed Grain.

The agronomy department of State
college has received notice that the
United States Food Administration
Grain Corporation will exempt from
Its 3O-day storage limitation such lots
OF grain as are examined by the com.
mittee and found to be good for seed.
Such lots may be kept for bonafide
seed purposes until the end of the
next seeding season. The corporation
has issued blanket licenses for stor.
age OF seed grain of specific lots
when the committee approves them.
Seed so held may be sold not to ex-
coed fifteen per cent over the selling
price of No. wheat at the elevator
where 1t is stored. For the most part
this ruling relates to spring wheat,
and only in special cases will the
holding Of winter wheat seed for use
in the fall of 1918 be approved. This
step is taken in order to assure the
holding of sufficient good seed wheat
and rye to sow next years crop.
Warehousemen and elevator operators
in the spring wheat belt east of the
Rocky mountains must send sample
OF grain which they wish to hold for
seed purposes to the laboratory Of
seed seed stocks committee, Mime
apolis, addressing w. L. Oswald, 800

Live Stock Increases.

In connection with the second an.
nual Hereford banquet" at Aberdeen
to Hereford cattle raisers of the Da.
kotas. some interesting statistics rel.
alive to the increase in the live stock
industry in the Dakotas, Wyoming
and Montana were given. According
to these figures diversified farming is
rapidly supplanting the old practice
of devoting most of the farming areas
of the northwest exclusively to wheat
raising. In 1915, according to state
and government statistics, the value of
the farm crops produced in the four
states was $412,692,00O, while the live
stock in the same states was valued
at $445,509,000, this being the first
year that live stock values surpassed
those Of other farm products. At
the beginning of the present year the
value of the live stock had increased
to $56S,7S7 900, while the number of
cattle in the four states had increased
by 1000 over the number in 1910.
There are also $685. more hogs in
the four states than in 1910 While
thousands of horses have been sold to
the government for war purposes.
from the Dakotas, Wyoming and Mon
tant, it is still estimated that most
Of the good draft horses still remain
in the four states.
