PEA AND BEAN THRASHER A
SUCCESS

The College huller gave a demon
stration on the campus Friday last
which proved the machine will
thresh and clean cowpeas il they
are thoroughly ripe and dry.
All those who wish peas thrashed
should stack them for at least three
weeks. About October 18th we will
take out the machine and thrash
for all who notify us beforehand.
The toll charges will be one-fourth
the peas; if crop is large and peas
in good shape the toll may be reduc-
ed to one-flfth.

Who said the niggers in Cuba knew
OF colored man in a Texas town
Who got il straight from a circusul

That o man from Klondyke heard

About somebody in Borneo,

To prove that her seventh husbands

FACTS ABOUT THE ROAD SIrUA-
TON IN KENTUCKY

II is the experience Of the Depart
ment Of Public Roads that there is
yet a great amount OF educational
work to be done concerning roads.
as no end Of trouble is experienced
in great many cases because OF
the fact that the Courts and the peo-
pie in general are not sufficiently
informed as to the proper methods
OF road building or as TO the proper
method Of handling the road fund.
|
The construction OF highways,
like the construction Of railroads,
must be placed in the hands OF COM
petent engineers il the work is ever
to be a success.
Engineers are trained TO conserve,
not TO waste money.
Roads have been most improperly
located and badly drained for such
long period OF time that II is now
difficult to teach the people that
proper location and proper drainage
are permanent improvements and OF
prime importance il the road is 10
be economically maintained.
Kentucky is year by year getting
farther behind in road building. To
the north, south, east and west the
states are spending each year sew
eral million dollars more than Ken
lucky for road building, and IL our
State is ever to assume an important
place among the States OF the Union,
the people must awaken to the fact
that road building is OF first impor-
lance because Kentucky is an agri-
cultural State and il requires roads
TO develop agricultural sections.
II you will acquaint yourself with
the workings Of the Fiscal Court OF
your county and the number OF
miles of road in the county. you will
find that there is not a county in the
State that has sufficient funds tol
maintain the roads OF the county.
The change In traffic conditions
and the increase in price OF labor
and materials make roads cost more
than they did in former years.
Practically 500 OF the taxes col
lected for county purposes Is spent
on roads and il behooves every tax
payer TO see that the money is spent
properly. which would mean under
the direction OF an engineer.
The extraordinary session OF the
Legislature passed law which al
lows the Fiscal Court OF q county |

run for a period OF not longer than
ten years. and all funds derived
from the tax must be used for road
and bridge purposes.

Take seed corn from the best-pro-

to meet competition successfully
than seed which comes from q stalk

is in the field, not in the crib; the
