BEGIN THINKING
ABOUT seed CORN
IS AGENTS ADVICE
County Agent George Kirk In State
ment Says That Farmers Should
Now Think Of Seed Corn.

Mr.. George Kirk, Mason County's
Agent, Saturday gave out the follow
ing statement:
In view of the adverse growing con-
ditions for corn during 1919 In Ken
lucky, farmers having crops of high
grade corn should make liberal allow
ance for the probable demand for seed
corn in the coming spring by saving
as much Of their corn for seed as pos
sible. In order that this corn may be
in the best condition in the spring, 1t
should be kept well ventilated which
may be accomplished by suspending
the ears from a wire in the shed or In
the attic. If the corn Is thoroughly
dry before freezing weather, the ger
mination test generally proves salts
| factory in the spring. The corn that
saved the day for Kentucky in the
spring of 1918 was that saved by care
| full farmers over their own seed wants
in the two years before. The coming
year is likely to approach 1918 in seed
corn demand in Kentucky. There will,
of course, be a large surplus of good
corn in northern states, since corn is
of good condition there and mostly
out of the way of frost at the present
time. This information, regarding the
situation in Kentucky, is given at the
present in order to avoid an acute
marketing situation in the spring.
AS an index to the future price of
hogs, the following figures from the
Department of Agriculture Estimate
may be Of interest. There were, on
September 1, 1919, 62,073,000 hogs
against three million On September
/, 1917, there were 60,213,OOO and Sep
tember /, 1916, 65. 645,OOO. The great
est number of hogs on September 1
during the last five years was record
ed on September 1, 1915, when there
were SS,256000. Along with these fig
ure, should be considered the fact that
there has been a large increase in the
number of brood sows since 1915, and
hence the low figure in the present
year may be greatly increased before
the year is over.

coils are difficult to replace, as they
have to be brought from Ohio, which
Is nearly 200 miles from the moonshine
district.
City dealers will not always sell coils
to m~0untaineers, and as a result the
moonshiners often have been forced
to employ a confederate to make
the purchase for them. When the coil
finally has been secured, the moonshin-
er has the difficult task of taking 1t
home unobserved. Arriving at London
he has to conceal 1t In a bag of meal or
In a barrel Of oil. The moonshiner
will then throw the bag over the back
of a mule and proceed on his way to

the outside world has prescribed as

The moonshiners have failed to un-
derstand why the government should
interfere with their business. They
maintain that they raise their own
corn In land they own. Because of the
lack Of railroad facilities, the noun
~taineers assert 1t Is impossible to ship
the grain to the cities. The roads are
too hilly and rocky to haul the corn
to the villages. and, in order to make
a living for their family, are forced
to manufacture whisky. All the
moonshiner asks Is that the govern

The crafty maker Of moonshine al

by engaging In gun play with any
