Hold Important Meeting And Endorse
Couaty Sale Movement.

About 200 farmers attended the
meeting of the Garrard County Hemp
Growers. The meeting was called to
order at 2:30 by County farm agent
Rogers who explained the object Of
the meeting and introduced Mr.. John
u. Fields, marketing agent U. S. De-
partment. of agriculture.
Mr.. Field stated that there were
two big problems before the farmer Of
TODAY. FIRST that Of production. and
second that Of marketing. He said he
was interested in the marketing.
In regard to the present hemp crop.
Mr.. Fields said that the farmer should
get business organization and the en-
tire county go together and sell their
crop as one man. The idea is not u
hemp pool but a county sale in which
the farmer elects committee of men
to receive bids on the entire hemp crop
of the county Mr.. Field stated that
he had been East to interview the
hemp buyers and that the buyers were
willing TO buy from the farmer PFC
lyided they could deal with them in "a
business like way and the farmer
would stand behind their shipment. A
New York nrm told Mr.. Field several
weeks ago that Kentucky hemp was
was worth SIG 80 per hundred lbs. for
the fiber and $500 for tow. Several
other eastern BUYERS talked very en-
eouraging concerning the present hemp
crop and many new types Of machinery
are being used to manufacture hemp
into SHIRTS, carpets etc.
A committee OF five farmers com.
posed OF Nr. W. K. Cook, w. d. Bur
ton, J. |. Hamilton, Z. C. McWhorter
aud I. C.Rankin was elected to act as
the sales committee for Garrard Co.
A census was then taken of the num-
Der Of acres owned by the hemp grow
ers of the county who would put their
hemp thru the county sales and 1878
acres We're received.
All farmers Of the county are urged
to hold their hemp and to discuss with
any of the committee the plan for the
county sales. Garrsrd county has
about $500 acres of hemp and every
pound Of 1t urged to 90 through the

Gen. Crowder Asks 5000 Board Members
to Present Various Human Phases Which
Came Under Their Notice During War.

the draft law. will be written by 49,

The chronicles will form the most
unusual human interest report ever
gathered under government sanction.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
in asking members of local and dis
trict boards to compile the chronicles.
states that in the draft law. more
than in any other great war statute
enacted by Congress, there has been a
human element. This human element
is not to be found "by 4 dry study of
the documents containing the statutes,
the regulations, the kilograms and
the reports of statistics"
Too Fine to Be Forgotten.
1T lies in the memories of the men
that have administered the law" Gen.
Crowder declares. ut is made up of

sRirit of the system, as you and i
Know it, is too fine to be left in dam
ger of mems forgetting. We must try
to record its essence while we are
still in the midst OF it. and while the
zest of it is still undated and the
memories are sill keen.
How shall we do this? Not by any
formal report. That would be i'm
possible. Moreover. YOU have had
more than your fill Of official reports .
In asking the board members to
turn loose their facility for story
telling and essay writing. the provost
marshal general suggests to his corps
of feature writer's" that they divide
their "reminiscences of the draft into
the following heads: Pathetic" thu

The proposal for "the draft chron-

ton, Gen. Crowder states, but merely
ms request or suggestion. From
comment of local board members OF
the District, however, it would seem
that the plan will meet with spontane-
Gus welcome everywhere.
What will become of these rec
ords. cannot now say" Gen. Crowder
declares to the board men. They
will be preserved as part of our rec
ords, and. as opportunity affords, they

Gen. Crowder'S Anecdotes.

To show board members something
OF what he wants Gen. Crowder tells
the following anecdotes:
"A doctor in a certain town labored
for year as medical member of his
board. He had conscientiously given
his verdicts and had become, as he
supposed, somewhat unpopular in con-
sequence Recently he was offered
and accepted a commission, and, hav-
ing resigned from the board. he made
ready to take train for camp at sun
rise one morning.
What was his genuine surprise to
ind that the entire body Of towns
people, several thousand in number.
had assembled in front of the board
once and insisted on escorting him
10 the station as spontaneous
tribute to the impartial uprightness
of hts conduct on the board. 1t was
his reward

Incident of Another Tenor.

Another incident" continues Gen.
Crowder. "of quite different tenor:
A mother had two grown-up sons.
One had enlisted; the other. at her In
stance. had claimed and received de-
ferment. The government allowance
TO the mother for the first son had
been several months overdue; it
amounted to some $40.
At last the government check ar
rived. The next day the other son
came in to the board, waived his de-
Torment, and was indicted. The
mother was now satisfied to let him
so. There is more than one moral
here: but at any rate the incident is
a fignifcant one.
