HON. MAT S. COHEN,
President Kentucky State Fair.

TNllE Kentucky State Fair belongs
10 the people, is of the people
and for the people, but credit for
this great achievement, which during
a period of sourteen years has meant
much To the commonwealth at large
and which now bears vital relation to
the welfare tof the state. belongs I'm
fullest measure To two officials. the
commissioner OF agriculture and the
State Fair secretary.
Upon the shoulders of these two men
falls the burden of responsibility for
the gigantic undertaking OF summing
up In one feetal week the agricultural
and live stock Industries. accomplish
ments and achievements of the entire
state for the year. and both must be
possessor Of abilities beyond the ordi-
nary measure of man.

a State Fair. Spectacular among his
accomplishments is the securing Of the
$4,000 stake for Eve gated saddle

To $1,000 In premiums for county eX-
hibits. Both these brilliant feats are
IN direct line with the appeal of the

krene~ an Efficient Secretary.
Fontaine Z. Kremer, who was elect
ed Kentucky State Fair secretary at
the beginning of the present year upon
the lamented death Of former Seere-
tary W. j. Gooch. while newly vested
with secrenrial title and dignities. is
by no means novice in secretarial
experience, having been the power be-
hind preceding Kentucky State Fair
secretaries for the pass eight years in
the comparatively inconspicuous but
Immensely important post Of active
manager and director of finances for
the entire vast Institution.
To the lay mind the magnitude of
this undertaking Is impossible of con-
ccption. and only those concerned in
the maelstrom of detail. infinitude of
demands and urgency of action surg
ing around the operative forces Of the
Fair can grasp the significance of this
experience. AS no man occupies dis
tinctive position without training
whieh has consciously or unconscious
ly fitted him for the duties of his post,
so Air. Kremer's entire career has been
one Of preparation for the brilliant and
efficient handling OF the task before
him. In his early manhood he saw
long service in important positions
with the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road general offices and with the law
and equity division of the jefferson
circuit court, thereby absorbing a grasp
of detail, knowledge of law and famil-
iarity with finance which grounded him
well In knowledge vital To the handling
of the Fair. In fact. il was this un-
usual all round ability, demonstrated
year after year to the state board OF
agriculture, that prompted Mr.. Kre-
mer's election 10y the board as secre-
tary to the Fair. To the agricultural
element his selection was cminently
satisfying from the fact that Mr.. Kre-
mer has been n practical farmer for
the past twelve years. owning and at
present residing upon and actively OPP
Grating at Shively, Ky, one Of the pret-
test and most prosperous farms in the

PRESIDENT RULES
MARRIED MEN EXEMPT

Washington, Aug. 25.-Presidert
Wilson today ruled that wives of men
selected in the draft should not, be-
cause they had employment before
marriage, be thrown upon their own
resources or upon the charity of their
own or their husbands parents for
support.
He ordered that all men upon
whose labors their wives or children
depend entirely for support should
be exempted. His action was TAX
en- in response to Nationwide pro-
tests against the harsh Interpretation
placed on the draft law by the Pro-
vOst Marshal Generals Office that a
woman whose parents or whose hus-
bands parents were able and will
ing to support her and her children,
or who was qualified to gain her own
support, should be thrown on these
resources and her husband sent to
war.
The Presidents orders were con-
tanned in letter to Secretary of War
Baker. Immediately on their re-
ceipt, the Secretary got into touch
with Provost Marshal General Crow
der.

Live Stock.

Utilize the fall pastures and
fields where crops have been har-
vested, to the fullest possible ex-
tent, and save the waste products
of the farm. Use the pastures and
fields and all field stored roughage
and save the grain and hay which
you have stored in the barn for
use at times when the fields and
pastures can no longer be utilized.
Look over your live stock care
fully and select those animals
which are productive and which
ought to be kept, and sell those
which are unproductive. Prepare
the Gull animals for early market
and save the room and feed for
good stock.

SELLING COUNTRY PRODUCE
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Progressive farm management
requires that farmers be sellers as
well as buyers. There was time
when farmers paid very little at
tention to selling anything other
than the staple crops such as cot
ton, grain or hay. AS these were
ready for market but once a year
there Was little experience in SELL
ing according to business methods.
On most farms now there are
many products for sale besides the
general crops Such products as
butter, eggs, poultry, fruits, vege-
tables and other crops or animal
products bring considerable cash
during the year. Those who stu
dy and inform themselves upon
business methods have far greater
advantages than those who relunc-
family take the surplus to town
and accept the first offer.
During the next years there may
be greater opportunities than
usual for producing such staple
articles of foods as city people de-
mand from farms. Even where
farmers live considerable distance
from cities and towns they may
use parcel post and send their pro-
ducts fresh to the city consumer.
This kind of selling will require
strict business methods and espe-
cially such as will insure pleased
customers. The problem will be
to learn the demands of customers
and strive always SO far as posi-
BILE to meet them.

Farmers Win Replant
Winter Wheat Acreage

Farmers Of the county are preparing
to replant to other crops acreage that
was seeded to winter wheat which was
winter killed. No very accurate esti-
mate of the damage done winter wheat
seeding can be made, but it is said to
be quite general and in many cases
serious. Some fields have been Sd
nearly killed out that trace of the
sprouting grain can scarcely be seen
Others estimate they have'a half a
stand or more. Practically all Of those
whose winter wheat was killed are
preparing to disc and harrow the land
and plant 1t to corn.
Farmers who have been observing
the conditions and situation are of the
opinion that the acreage put into crops
this year Is going to be very much
larger than the average for period
Of years. War and war prices are the
chief influences, but another cause Is
that great deal Of pasture, and espe-
cially clover pa sture was winter killed.
All such pastures are being plowed
up and will be planted in corn. a lack
of snow, extremely cold weather and
ice that formed over the wheat seeding
and clover. are given as the principal
reasons why the wheat and clov
fields were killed.
