RoCKcAsTLE COUNTY SCHOOL
AND AGRICULTURAL FAIRS

Mr.. Robert +. Spence, County
Demonstrates, was busy in Rock
castle County last week. He per-
s1nally visited large number of
schools and created interest in the
Community Fairs, where were ex-
hibited Home, School, Garden and
Farm products. Then on Friday
the exhibits winning first, second
and third prizes at these fairs were
brought TO MI. Vernon and the
judging began. On Saturday morn
ms at g o'clock the County Fair
opened. IL was a Red Letter Day
for Rockcastle County. The ex-
pectations of the most enthusiastic
were far surpassed. The exhibits
pleased everybody. No one had
thought that the large number Of
fine exhibits could be brought to-
gether from that county. Even the
County Agent himself was sur
prised. for it had gone far beyond
what he had expected. One leading
citizen said that the affair was
worth more TO the county than
Farm Agents salary for five years.

THE BIGGEST CROP NOT ALWAYS
THE MOST PROFITABLE

Large crop yields do not neces-
sarily pay. inexperienced persons
are apt to overestimate the impor-
lance Of large returns per acre.
Good farm managers know that
economy in the use Of teams, labor,
and machinery is just as necessary
as economy in land. The use Of the
land is less than one-tenth the to-
tai cost of raising a crop of pOta-
toes; less than One-fifth that of
raising a crop of oats; and only
about one-third of the cost of rails
ing crop of hay. A profit in pro-
ducing any crop is made only when
the cost Of producing that crop is
less than it sells for. It is true that
good crop yields usually help to re-
duce the cost of production, but
phenomenal or spectacular yields
are apt to cost too much, being in
many cases obtained at the expendi-
ture of too much labor and ferti-
lizers. Both labor and fertilizers
are too expensive in this country

BEREA AGRICULTURAL FAIR

For a number of years we have
had an Agricultural Fair at Berea
Last year it was called off on &C
count Of the Influenza and war con-
ditions. This year we are all dis
appointed in not having it because
of many reasons.
Last July we started plans for an
Agricultural and School Fair for
Rockcastle County, through the
Teachers Institute. These fairs
were to be held in each school dis
trict, October l6, and at the County
Graded and High School, Mt. Vern-
on, October is, County Agricultural
and School Fair was TO be held.
This plan for Rockcastle County
has demanded so much attention Of
the County Agent that little time
was left to undertake the second
Agricultural Fair this year A full
report Of the ROckcastle County
School and Agricultural Fair will
be found in Mt. Vernon Signal this
week and The Citizen next week.
Next year will be Berea'S tiino for
an Agricultural Fair. We hope
that we can make it a School and
an Agricultural Fair for all Oh
Southern Madison County. All
schools will be asked TO take part
in this fair ------------S

O he used extravagantly.

TO be used extravagantly.
Very large crop yields can be Sc
cured by using more fertilizer, more
labor, and more expense in other
ways. But il is easily possible to
60 so far in trying TO increase
yields as to make the crop unproflt-
able. Most farmers are not grow
ing quite as large crops as their
conditions warrant. As the coun-
try grows older and the population
increases, it will pay gradually to
increase crop yields by more in
tensive methods.
The proflt-making farmer is care
full not TO resort to radical or I'M
duly expensive methods in increas-
ing his crop yields. He follows a
conservative system in soil build
ing. Work in removing stones,
stumps, and thickets is done when
ever there is an opportunity dur
ing temporary slack periods in the
season, especially during mild win
ter weather when the soil does not
permit of regular field work. A few
acres are thus improved each sea-
son with the regular farm labor
force. The crop-yielding capacity
of the soil is further increased by
the consistent use of legumes, lime
stone. commercial fertilizers, and
the use Of manure. Large yields
are the ideal of every good farmer
not large Yields alone, but rather
large Yields by economical methods.

The first essential in advancing city
planning everywhere Is 10 get a def.
mite plan, then make II known In
order 10 get the necessary legislation
and financial support to put II through.
Cities should make n plan and de
vel0p II plecemeal. That is. II should
be like a building with solid founda-
ton with FIVE or six stories on II,
but solid enough TO carry 20 stories.
The plan should be complete. but
need not all be presented at once. nor
should the efforts in carrying II out
be sporadic or haphazard. An author
ity recently urged the securing OF ex'
pert TALENT TO direct city planning for
the interest OF all, and not for a class

( age. due to late spring and poor
growing conditions. The drOuth
has affected every part of the State
and while some of the late maturing
corn is coming out, yet as a whole
the corn crop is not up to normal.
The estimated average yield of corn
this year is % bushels per acre as
compared with % bushels average
in 1913, which also was a dry year.
The quality is given at 50 per cent.
The estimated productions for the
State according TO above estimates
would be something over II million
bushels.
The final estimate on wheat makes
an average Of los bushels per acre
or a total estimated production of
i0,9S3.0O0 bushels. This is consider
ably less than last year, but while
the state creage was increased, the
production averaged bushels less
per acre this year.
Condition of Burley Tobacco is
given at 70 per cent with an esti-
mated average yield of 70S pounds
per acre with about rs per cent OF
crop housed. Condition of Dark
Tobacco is 81 per cent and an esti-
mated average yield of 79i pounds
per acre with g. per cent Of the
crop housed. The total number of
pounds Of all tobacco produced is
given on the preliminary estimate
to be il3,S0i.OO0 pounds.
Hemp is an especially short crop,
with small acreage, and the few
estimates received on this would in
dictate light yield.
Yield Of potatoes is indicated to
be 59.5 bushels per acre with con-
dition given at " per cent, indicat-
ing a production Of i,i65,000 bushels
this year, while sweet potatoes yield
is estimated at 81 bushels per acre
average with condition Of 81 per
cent, indicating a State production
of i,092, 900 bushels.
Grasses show as follows:
Blue Grass, 80 per cent; Glover,
6S per cent; Orchard Grass, 80 per
cent; Alfalfa, rs per cent.
Third cutting of alfalfa averaged
l.02 ton per acre.
Pastures are dry, but have greatly
improved the last month.
Stock water is scarce in many
localities. Condition of live stock
is given at SO per cent.
The acreage planned for fall
