day making a tour of the blue grass,
for the purpose of advertising several
fine farms which they will put up at
public sale next week. A large ad
vertisement of their splendid offerings
win appear in the Daily Register
Thursday. The Wakefeld-Davis Co.,
is selling some Of the finest blue grass
land in Kentucky this season, and its
sales are always success In speak
ing of Kentucky farms and farmers,
Mr. Davis said:
"There has never been such a
change in any class Of people as there
has been in the farmers of the blue
grass section in the past few years,
The man who a few years ago owned
good farm now either owns great
deal more land or has bank account
and stocks and bonds; the man who
was a great deal in debt on the farm
at that time, now has his farm paid
for; the man who bought then has
just about paid for his farm and finds
it worth a great deal more than when
he bought it. The man who bought
last year and made his first payment
has made enough in the last twelve
months to pay great deal more than
he expected TO when the next pay day
comes around; the man who has been
renting or cropping on the shares
finds that he has more money than he
ever expected to have and is able to
make good payment on a small
farm and get his whole crop instead
Of giving the landlord half.
"He win be able to pay for his farm
too. for hasn't Mr.. Wilson asked Con-
gress TO appropriate hundred mil
lion dollars to help feed Europe, as
they are starving and will not be self
sustaining for years, so we win have
to feed them.
"Then Il can't be thought that the
big tobacco companies would take
over this big crop at the enormous
prices at which they are taking it if
they felt that Il could be bought
cheaper next fall. Therefore the far
mer is to the front to stay and his
best bet at the present time is to buy
land that is located right when he can
find it at the right prices, which is
the object of our sales"
