GRAIN GRADING SCHOOLS
ARE GREAT FEATURE

Boise, Idaho, Anb. 25.-Grain grad
ing schools conducted in various sec
tons of the state by the University of
Idaho extension division and the U.
8. department Of agriculture, coopera
ting, are reported by the extension
division to have aroused considerable
interest among farmers and dealers,
especially with reference to dockage
determination and test weight per
bushel. To settle some differences OF
opinion which have arisen with refer
ence to these two features Of the grad
ing work, the following description of
methods Of procedure has been made
by b f. Sheehan, state grain inspect
or:
1.-THE test weight is made upon dock
age-free grain, as the dockage is not
considered as a grade factor. There
fore, all of the straw, weed seeds, oats,
barley, and other separable coarse mat
ter is taken out by the use Of clean

Fine matter will often cintain some
small, cracked or broken kernels of
wheat which may go through the fine
screen in the nicker with the weed
seeds and dirt. Also in sections where
considerable shriveled grain will he
produced. one is likely to find many of
these kernels going through the fine
seed sieve in the oat kicker. The fine
matter must, therefore, be rescreened
with the standard fine seed hand sieve
to save as much of the cracked, broken
or shriveled kerenls of wheat as is
possible
Cracked or shriveled wheat is not
damaged wheat from the standpoint of
inspection 1t is not dockage but is
wheat and always should be consider

SELLS STOCK TO EMPLOYEES
Swift & Co. Take 10000 Workers
Into Organization.

More than 10000 employees of Swift
& Company are today vested with part
ownership in the packing concern. An
nouncement has just been made of the
results that came of the gigantic profit
sharing plan recently offered by the
company to its people. The avidity
with which workers, from label stick
ers to managers, seized the opportuni-
ty to become partners in the business,
is nothing short of sensation at the
company's headquarters in Chicago,
So great was the demand for shares
from employees that the company set
aside sufficient stock to take care of
such employees as are in the army and
navy and who will be back within the
next few months.
1--WE are pleased" declared f. S.
Hayward, secretary of the company
''at what we look on as a vote of con
ftdence on the part of our employees.
Their response to our offer has been
our stock ledgers will show a greater
proportion Of employe shareholders
than any other large manufacturing
concern in the country"
Stock which had been turned into
the treasury some time ago afforded
the company an opportunity which il
had long sought--to offer shares to EN-
ployes at par. Accordingly, the stock
subscription books We're opened last
May on the following plan:
Each employe earning up to $50 {
week was allowed to purchase one
share of stock at its par value, 500
The market quotation is much above
this. Employees earning $50 and up t.
$50 week were entitled to TIVE
shares; $50 and up to $40 week
three shares; $40 and up to $50
week, four shares; $50 and over, tiy
shares. No employe was allowed t
purchase more than five shares. TIL
stock is to be paid for at the rate o
81 n share per week.
Employees whose economies for tn
immediate future We're committed t

given the right to reserve stock b.

them until they had completed pul

chase of their war bonds. The only
pledge asked of any one taking adj
vantage of the proposition was that
he should look on his purchase as an
investment and not a speculation.
I'VE hoped" said Mr. Hayward, ito
put 10000 new shareholders on our
books. We had already 5000 share
holding employees who had come into
selling stock at market value under
Il two year payment plan. But the
hurricane of applications that blew
into the office after the new plan was
announced straightway convinced us
that we had moderated the interest
of our employees in the business. Now
six weeks after we began accepting
applications, we have 1900 new share
holders And the most satisfactory
thing about the whole affair is that
we have associated with us as part
ners many of the very persons we
most wanted--the plant workers"
The unexpected demand for shares
has caused the company to create a
special department to handle the APP
plications More than $500 of the
new shareholders are women. Sub
scriptions have been received from EN-
ployes at all of the plants of the com
pany and also from each of the 400
towns and cities where the company
has Il branch house.

A NEAR REVERSION TO NOAH'S
TIME.

Incessant rains in this section
from midnight Friday until late Sat
urday night. made the flood OF
Noah's time assume the proportions
of a piker. All records for rainfall,
In December were smashed when the
Lexington weather observer an
nounced that the amount far exceed
ed at the three-inch mark. The pre-
Vlous record for rainfall during
twenty-four hours in December was
2.5 inches.
The heavy downpour had a serious
effect on Saturday trade and practi-
cally' reduced the merchants busi-
ness to a minimum. All the streams
in the county were above flood
stage. Reports received told OF con-
siderable damage in Iowland dis
tricts and in billy places where the
land was badly washed The
floods interfered slightly with the
schedule of the Paris-Lexingt in

NOTIFICATIONS MADE IN FUEL
CLOSING ORDER.

The stringent instructions receiv-
ed some days ago from the head
quarters of the National Fuel Ad-
ministration regarding the conser-
walton of fuel and lights, has been
somewhat modified. All the stores
in this city heretofore required to
close at 400 p. m, in compliance
with the orders, received notice
Friday that they could keep open
as long as they desired, provided
they burned neither coal, gas or
wood or used electric. lights. The
modification came in the shape of a
telegram from Atlanta to Chief of
Police Fred Link, who had asked for
specific instructions on which to act
with authority. The message was
as follows:
Answering your telegram have
to say that groceries open at nine
a. m. and close at six p. m, week
days, and at nine on Saturdays.
Fruit stores open at nine a. m. and
close at four p. m. throughout the
week. If stores wish to stay open
after specified closing time they
may do so, but must not use any
light or heat generated from wood,
coal, coke, or gas. They may use
kerosene lamps and kerosene stoves"
This order will result in great
benefit to the merchants as the hol-
iday season draws nearer and near
er. Many are already extending
hours, and have installed coal oil
lamps and even candles. Merchants
may thus be enabled to meet the re-
quirements of the order and to give
full attention to their Christmas
trade without fear of loss, and with
only a. little inconvenience that will
be soon forgotten in the nature of
things as they are.

THE PARIS TOBACCO MARKET

With all Burnley price records
soaring beyond those of the past
season on the Paris markets a new
TACT became firmly established. that
a new era had been reached in the
history of the tobacco growing in
dustry in this county. and that the
bourpon county growers are coming
into their own, coming, it might be
ADDED, in a right royal fashion,
with the present prices in mind and
the Possibilities of the season vet to
be realized.
Early predictions of high prices
have been more than realized. and
the tobacco growers are unanimous
in predicting that this year the
price level will be set higher than
was ever dreamed of before. even
oy the most sanguine Well-posted
men called attention to the fact
that the loose leaf sold on the
hoOrs OF the local houses during the
first days of the sales may be &C.
cepted as entirely representative Of
the offerings for the season. Taking
into consideration this fact it is safe
10 assert that the market is gaining
In strength steadily, and that the
Paris market will continue to be, as
1t has been in the past, one of the
best in Central Kentucky. Interest
in the markets was in evidence yes
terday to a greater degree than ever
when the opening of the sales for
the day found a large crowd of
growers, handlers, brokers, buyers
and spectators on hand. The re-
ceipts were large, all roads leading
to Paris having their quota of heav-
ily-lcaded wagons destined for yes
terday's sales.
AT the Paris House of the Bour-
bon Warehouse Company yesterday,
JOS. A. Farris, of near Millersburg,
sold a crop of tobacco raised on a
plot of one and one-half acres, a
total of 2,100 pounds, which netted
him eighty cents pound, or a total
of $1,655 for the entire crop.
Another good sale was recorded
when Lou Taylor sold a crop for
seventy-nine cents a pound This
crop was raised in two paddocks
where years ago Turney Bros crack
thoroughbreds, Horror and Water
bass, tossed their heels in playful
abandon, and where they were part
ly trained.

Prices ruled high again at the
were resumed Friday morning. The
offerings were not large, but were
representative in character. The
tone of the market was strong and
generally satisfactory. Receipts for
the succeeding days were good and
prospects for high prices continue
good. -
The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
sold a total of 1890 pounds of to-
bacco for an average of $3.50.
The Independent House sold $4,000
pounds for an average of $60.06.
Lou Taylor sold a crop Of 4,370
pounds raised on a " acre feed lot,
for an average of $7227. One of
the features of the day was the
sale of crop of 375 pounds, raised
in a garden by Miss Margaret
Allen, daughter of Sanford M. Allen,
Cashier of the Millersburg Farmers
Bank. This crop, sold at the Bour-
bon Tobacco Warehouse sold for
an average of $82.32. Dodge Bros
& Bills sold crop of $500 pounds
at the Paris Warehouse for an av-
erage of 1858.
Some of the crop averages real
lied at the Bourbon Warehouse sale
Friday, were as follows:
L. c. Owens, who recently bought
the Silas E. Bedford farm of 396
acres on the Ford's Mill pike, sold
privately to Bush Bishop $4,000
pounds of tobacco grown on a tract
of sixteen acres, for IS cents
pound. Since tobacco prices have
ruled so high, Mr.. Owens has re-
fused an offer of $500 an acre for
his farm.
At the sale held at the Central
House, in Lexington, Friday, Albert
johnson, of Bourbon county sold
his crop of 2,O35 pounds for an av-
erage of $69.92. Very little Bour-
bon county tobacco has so far been
sold on the other markets. The
growers seem to be satisfied with
the good prices realized on the
local markets, now taking high
rank
The record price of the season
was attained at yesterdays sale at
the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co.'S Paris warehouse, and the
faces of the management wore that
glad smile that won't come on.
The Paris Warehouse sold at that
sale 1896 pounds of tobacco for
money value of $71,8S477, an av-
erage of $63.08. The quality OF
the offerings was good and the mar
ket strong. A crop of 1890 pounds.
