MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE

lucky by farmers and seedsmen.
The average termination Of these
i6i samples is just 5iq6.
Twenty-six per cent of the samples
give termination percentage Of from
90 10 100. Some give no germina-
tion at all. Fayctte County corn. ol
which 81 samples were tested. gives
an average Of iSc6 termination
while Woodford. with - samples
and Madison, with IL. each give.
500 as an average.
The samples are not always label
ed as TO the year the corn was
grown. but enough were received
marked 1916 crop to show that corn
grown in 1916 terminates better on
an average than that harvested IN
the fall Of 1917. But that the con-
dition Of the 1917 corn as to germi-
nation depended more on the way il
was harvested and cured than on it'
quality at harvest time is shown by
the fact that when selected for seed
and stored carefully samples often
terminate 1909 or very close to this
percentage.
The tests indicate that there Is
enough good seed corn in the state
to enable farmers to sow their ac-
customed acreage. or a little more
il only it can be kept out of the
hands of proflteers.
Present conditions demonstrate
among other things the importance
to farmers of selecting and curing
their own seed corn in the future,
So as TO have something to fall back
on in case of a general scarcity.

HOGS
RObt. F. Spence.
County Agent.

Some one has well said that the
next years crop of hogs is as es-
scntial TO success in the war as the
next years output of artillery.
. Every hog lot is a munitiOn factory,
and every farmer and every farm
boy is serving the nation as he swills
the pigs. The soldiers must be fed,
for with empty stomachs they are
as Ineffective as with empty guns.
The hog is engaged in spreading
liberty and defending democracy by
means of the armies of the Allies
throughout all Europe. His hams,
shoulders. bacon and fat are sustain
ing the hosts of freedom: he is be-
hind every cannon. every bayOnet,
and is a stay Of our fighting forces.
There are few of the seven mil
lion farmers in our country who
could not. without hardship. add
one more bred SOW to their present
holdings. and these. with their off,
spring properly managed, would
within year revOlutiOnlze the en-
tire hog situation.
TO acquire a stock Of hogs it is
not at all necessary TO begin with
any large number, as from a very
small beginning a farmer, by merely
resaining and breeding the female
offspring. can soon be Overrun with
more than he can provide for.

CLEAN UP BULLETIN

From the pend Of April to April
9th. inclusive. we insist that in
order TO eliminate fire hazards aud
disease spreaders every patriotic
citizen in the Commonwealth of
Kentucky use his best effort TO save
and conserve the resources Of our
state and patton.
Therefore, we request that the
mayors of our cities, towns and viii
lagos at once issue proclamation
calling for a CLEAN UP. PAINT UP.

week Of April, commencing with the
22nd, and continuing to the 9th. in

bodies. Boards Of Trade: Chambers

Prevention: Women's Clubs: house
wives: boy and girl scout organiza-
tions: supcrintendcnts. principals
and teachers of schools: parochial
schools and their heads: fire chiefs
and their men. and every other 10y
al American. to heartily cooperate
with their civic authorities i'm an
effort to make the Commonwealth

On account Of being at war with
a foreign nation TO preserve our in
stitutions and our liberties il be-
hooves us to put forth every effort
for the conservation Of food stuifs
and finished and raw materials from
destruction by fire, and to do our
bit in this great war for the freedom
" mankind we must not only buy
Liberty Bonds, hut we must do all
we can to furnish our boys in the
trenches with food. clothing, NUM-
tions and supplies of all kinds.
Therefore. carelessness and neg
lect on our part at this time is in
deed criminal. Cleanliness is a big
factor in the prevention Of both fire
and disease. Accommodations Of dust,
rubbish. rags, waste paper, etc, in
Easements. back yards. and piled

gerous. Better have the ash heap
OF rubbish pile in the back yard
converted into a garden spot.
Many fires can be prevented by
using ordinary care. a fire in any
case is a calamity. but careless fire
is a crime"
Therefore. we suggest and urge

p'tes-Sources Of Food Losses on
Farms and How These May Be Re-
duced.

Columbi bia-From a harvest less in
aggregate production than last year,
the United States must export at
least 17k million tons Of foodstuffs
overseas during the coming season.
This Is about IL million tons more
than average pre-war exports, or near.
ly two tons apiece for the average
American farm where most of this
food originates.
Rigid conservation Of food and feed
stored in granaries. cribs barns and
similar buildings-also products now
IN the fields-are essential to properly
maintain our own population and to
meet increased foreign needs. Ami.
NAL feeds, though in a crude form,
must be considered as food, since
they are the basis for meat, milk and
poultry products.
Tho vast quantity OF food stuffs
stored on farms makes opportunities
for saving them correspondingly
large. Following are common sources
of food losses with suggestions for re-
ducing them:
FIRE-Remove inflammable rub.
bish, plow fireguards, use care with
matches, lanterns and stoves. Sun.

fire fighting equipment kept in def

consider farm as food munition

SHELTER-Prevent spoilage and
deterioration by putting all foodstuffs
possible under adequate shelter. Full
utilization OF storage space and
prompt repair OF roofs help greatly In
preventing f4od losses. BY sheltering
foodstuffs on farms conservation 10 Of.

RATS AND PESTS-Regard rats
end similar pests seriously, as the d.
rect enemy Of starving humanity. nx-
clade them with concrete floors and
destroy their breeding places. Rats
must not eat holes in our bulwarks OF
national defense.
STOCK LOSSES-More than a mil

and poultry products. The quantity

CAREFUL SHIPPING WILL

Administration to the necessity of

larly hog shipments. While there is
no available data at hand giving OK.
act figures, the number Of dead or
crippled animals arriving at market
is large, and, therefore, serious. It
is not only a waste Of money but q
terrific waste of foodstuffs, and dur.
ing the present crucial period when It
Is SO vital to eliminate waste, it does
NOT reflect favorably on those engaged
in the live stock industry to permit
such waste. While 1t has always been
customary to lay the blame on the
railroads. the Food Administration
feels that, although tho railroads may
have boom responsible for a great deal
