Sixteen head of stock were con-
sumed in the building together with

Gov. Stanley seems to have been
imposed upon and put in a ridiculous
attitude by somebody in Lee county.
His call for federal soldiers TO put
down rioting found not TO exist was
ignored by the General appealed to
and yesterday the House unanimous
ly adopted n resolution denouncing
as unjust, unwarranted and untrue
the attack made on the people Of Lee
county which. the resolution de-
clnred. was organized for purely
mercenary purposes aud to push use
less legislation. Hasty action by Of
fieials was also condemned, that de-
ceived the state officials.

AN EXPLANATION.

II has been called 10 the attention
Of the Kentuckian that our article in
yesterdays issue under the caption
Surplus Seed Corn" has created a
wrong impression amcng some of the
farmers. Our article read like this
"No seed corn will be sold out of the
county and district except through
the Christian County Board Of Agri-
culture and no corn will be sold
unless II is tested and listed accord
ing to governmental regulations. All
corn will be sold at So per bushel
less Zoe which will be deducted 10
help defray the expense Of advertis-
ing. correspondence, ttc."
You will note that the paragraph
proceeding the above in yesterdays
paper related 10 the advertising cam
paign being put on by the Christian
County Board of Agriculture. The
article should have read like this:
"No seed corn will be sold on in
quires received from such advertis-
ing except through the Christian
County Board Of Agriculture" Moth
ing in this plan should be construed
to mean that man cannot sell his
corn privately and to anyone who
wishes TO buy IL and at any price
they may agree upon. The plan be
ing worked out and put into effect
by the Christian County Board Of
Agriculture is a cooperation work
and intended to help the farmer who
has corn for sale and accommodate
the man who has to buy his seed.
No price has yet been fixed by the
government but the $500 price is AN
agreed price at whieh the Board Of
Agriculture will offer all corn listed
in their office showing the proper test.
