WHAT CONSTITUTES
ILLITERACy

The Census Bureau states that in
ability to write in any language is
what constitutes illiteracy. One may
be able to read ever so well, but if
unable to write, the census taker
will brand him as illiterate. There
are thousands Of people in Kentucky
who can read a little and thousands
more who can read quite well and
yet have never been taught to write.
These illiterates would be the easiest
OF al TO teach. They have only to
master the simple art Of writing and
II is no more difficult than learning
to quilt, TO use the sewing machine,
to drive a team or than many other
things that these people have learn
ed to DO with their hands. Some
neighbors could spend ten on twelve

WHAT THE FARM BUREAUS ARE
DOING.

In the Elizabeth community Of the
Farm Bureau. effort is being made
to ascertain the best ensilage corn
for this part of the county Sew
eralmen around Elizabeth are anx-
iGus to find out what variety of corn
makes the best silage. Demonstra-
tions with three or four varieties
are going to be grown this year so
that next season the farmers will
have this years experience to plant
on.
Lots of the dairymen around Eliza
beth are thinking of Cow Testing
Association These men realize
that they all have some cows in their
herds that are not paying them as
big returns as they should. The
way of solving this problem can be
worked out thru testing associa-
tion. twenty-five or six dairymen
go together and hire a tester. This
tester spends one day of the month
on each mans farm and tests the
milk products from each individual
in that mans herd. He also weighs
the product and the amount of feed
that each COW gets. An accurate
record is kept and in a short time
the cow that is costing the farmer
more for her feed than the butter fat
she is giving can be determined. A
COW testing association is looked up
on as an absolute necessity in a pros
porous dairying country. Any one
interested in forming this associa-
tion at Elizabeth should see AL Rey-
nolds. or the County Agent
C. w. Reed wants to start the boys

Mr.. Reed has taken an active inter-

care of the pig and raise it according
to the latest methods Of pork pro-
duction and keep an accurate re-
cord of the business. This will
teach the boys, who are the farmers
of to morrow, the business methods
OF raising hogs and the care and
management of them.

BISHOP JOHN J. O'C0NNun
TELLS OF RED CROSS APPEAL

Bishop John j. O'Connor of Newark
thus expresses his approval of the Red
Cross Christmas roll call:
"A citizen of the United States can
offer no valid excuse for failure to en-
roll himself In the American Red Cross
Society. An organization whose one
grent principle is humanity has the
right to call all men to its standard.
The Red Cross appeals to the common
human in us. 1t aims at giving fine
words, like sympathy and pity and
mercy, some practical value. The world
has waited long time for an organi-
zation which could give to vague feel
ings of sympathy wide, practical ap-
plication. The American Red Cross
fultills every requirement of broadly
humanitarian association, 1t accepts
only universally admitted principles.
1t limits Its operations to no particu-
lar class. 1t sides with no party. It
asks of Its members but two things
that they have pity on suffering wheI-
ever found and that they have the will
TO relieve misfortune.
'The appeal of the REQ Cross for an
Increased membership should be in
stantly needed. The man who fails to
heed this call places himself outside
the pale. He does not feel with his
native land. He Is not one with his
kind. Here is our opportunity to join
In work which gives to religion and
its teaching present value. Place your
names on the rolls OF the American
Red Cross"
