4 Help to Farmers.

Mr.. M. 0. Hughes, Assistant Di-
rector of Extension in Kentucky,
says, "it is very rare thing that we
ever find prosperous community
or state that does net derive a large
part of Its revenue firm Live Stock,
and the most important thing in Ken
tucky today is to increase the Live
Stock on the farm. Before we In
crease the Live Stock very mater
tally, the farmers will have to grow
more feed for them, especially OF
the leguminous plants for hay like
red clover, sweet clover and alfalfa.
We find that it is impossible to grow
these plants as they should be grown
without the use of lime IN some form
and, in nearly every case we are sui e
that ground limestone is best, so we
would unhesitatingly say that the use
of ground limestone is the most i'm
portant thing today to the farmers of
Kentucky"
Believing these things to be true
Muhlenberg county has erected a
shed near the depot in Greenville
where ground limestone will be kept
on hands at all times. The firm of
Adkins and. Noffsinger also realizing
the great need of this material IN the
county have volunteered to handle
the limestone for the farmers with
out any compensation whatever. The
first cars have been received and tn {
shed stands full. ready to give back
to the soils of the county somethin g
of their lost fertility. The price of
the limestone is 81. 80 per ton, cash,
which Is the cost of the rock placed
in the she'd. Other counties are now
paying as high as 81 90 per ton even
where crushers are at work in the
county, so we feel that we are fortu
nate to procure it at this price.
If you are planning to sow any of
the clovers or alfalfa this Fall do not
fail TO see Adkins and Nofsinger
about the lime, and above every
thing else, do not put it off until too
late. Red clover should be sown
from the first to the tenth of August,
alfalfa from the fifteenth of Angus,
to the tenth of September. 1t you
wish information on the preparation
of the seed bed, inoculation of seed,
amount to sow, or any other pro-
blems relative to these crops call
upon your County Agent. He will
be glad to advise you.

EUROPE is BUYING UP EGGS
Chicago Dealers Say Big Contracts for
Butter Also Are Being Placed

Chicago, Jan 27.-Foreign buyers,
who for more than a week have been
placing orders with local traders on
the butter and egg board. combining
their purchases for deliveries between
April and December, have laid the
groundwork for another coroner that
may send eggs above 81 a dozen and
butter to 81 pound next winter, deal
ers say.
1t is stated that creameries in Wis
consin and Illinois have signed con-
tracts with foreign buyers for their
entire output during the summer and
fall months. The purchases are be
ing made in carload lots at prices
ranging around twenty-five cents a
dozen for eggs and fifteen to eighteen
cents a pound for butter.
The shortage of these commodities
in Europe has driven foreign dealers
to American markets. While these
buyers have been active all winter,
the latest drive was not revealed IN

refrigerator companies to move the
produce to the seaboard were made

four men of the crew. The damaged
craft was later sunk by ships of her
own flotilIa.
Unofficial advices from Holland say

HOUSE PASSES A BANK BILL
Wilson Measure Reduces Legal Rate
of Interest in State From 70
TO 8 Per Cent.

Topeka.-The Kansas bankers lost
a hard fight in the house when it
adopted the Wilson Bill, reducing
the legal rate of interest from 10
to per cent The bankers tried
everything to stop the bill They
sought to have it sent to the bank
ing committee. and a member
OF that committee declared on the
floor that it would never see the light
OF day. This failed Then the bank
ers tried to load the bill down with
amendments. By this time the house
noticed the frantic efforts of the bank
ers to defeat the bill and laid for them.
Not an amendment was permitted, and
the bill was sent to third reading
without a change. The bill provides
that if more than 8 per cent per an
mum is charged for the use OF money
in Kansas the bank or loan agent
forfeits the interest and 25 per cent
OF the principal as a penalty.
Bankers from all parts of Kansas
were on the floor helping in the fight
on the bill. They left the hall smiling,
and declared it would never get
through the senate. In the debate
on the bill it was pointed out that many
Kansas banks had been able to declare
dividends exceeding 40 per cent for
many years, and that one bank was
known to have been able to make over
800 per cent on its original invest
ment in less than five years.
A bill to establish a Kansas bank,
similar to the federal reserve bank,
but applicable only to the one thou
sandsand state banks, was introduced
by Senator Bergen of Marshall County.
Under the bill, the governor is to
appoint two state bankers to act with
the bank commissioner in organic
ing the bank. The state is to be di-
vided into districts, according to the
business needs of the different Sec
lions and branches of the Kansas
bank are to be opened IN the business
centers of each district.
