Few British Industrial developments
which were set in motion by war ne
cessities can compare in magnitude
or in future possibilities with the ex-
pIotatiOn of new irOnstOne areas in
North Lincolnshire. 1t is confidently
predicted that within ten years there
will be created on the sparsely in
habited plain which stretches from
the south bank of the Humber new
manufacturing region as busy and
important as Middlesborough and
Tees-side are today.
Only a few years ago the vast
wealth which lies few feet below
the surface was undreamed OF. 1t
was only when the lack of ships re-
stricted imports of ore from abroad,
concurrently with an urgent need for
increased steel production, that the
resources of North Lincolnshire were
fully realized.
scratching to reveal the ironstone, and
consequently exploitation should be
rapidly organized.
Plans are projected which, it Is
said, will make this district one OF
the greatest centers in the kingdom
for the production Of steel. Subsid-
iary Industries will be fostered, new
traffic will be created for the great
docks at birmingham, and the miles
of waste land along the Humber may
be filled with wharves and factories.
Authorities Cooperate in Plan.
The principal firms, the local au-
thorities, and the local government
board are cooperating with the object
of directing the growth of the future
urban area on rational lines.
The creation of a beautiful city in
conjunction with the manufacture OF
iron and steel is not impossible OF
achievement, and no fairer site could
be desired for such an industrial ex-
pertinent.
There are thousands of acres OF
moorland, dotted with pine woods and
plantations, all unspoiled as prairie
land. No problems of slum areas or
congested districts would arise. Given
good will on all sides u splendid gar
den city can be built. 1t will be a
crime against civilization If anything
less worthy is done.
For Lincoln a name in history has
been established by the invention and
manufacture of the tanks, and with
these larger works and the growing
supplies of coal and steel near at
hand the manufacturers are now In
q far stronger position than they were
before the war to meet the intense
American and Canadian competition.
To keep the extended works fully
employed an immense world trade
must be cultivated, and to obtain this
plans have been laid for standardiza.
ton, within certain limits and large
scale production, without impairing
the quality for which East Anglia is
unsurpassed.
Output of Various Products.
The output will include everything
required In the mechanical operations
of agriculture, and in road transport
oil and steam tractors, plows and cul
tivators, petrol engines of all kinds
threshers, sugar machinery and the
whole range of harvesting and general
farm implements.
Already an amalgamation of impor
tant Lincoln and Grantham firms has
taken place, and closer cooperation
than has hitherto existed is likely
to be fostered among all the firms.
One result may be the replacement
of the customary foreign agencies by
direct representation of the firms In
the principal agricultural countries OF
the world.

WOMAN AND CHILD
LABOR IS SUBJECT
Student Of. Conditions In Kentucky
VIII Lecture Here on Woman and
Child Labor In Our State.

After four generations of tenement
house living and woman and child la
Dor in mills and factories, England
had to reduce her physical require
rnent in recruiting her army and navy
because of the reduced stature and
physical fitness Of her men.
1t is the glorious privilege and op-
portunity Of the United States so to or
ganize our industries as to show the
rest of the world how the maximum
amount of production can be reached
under conditions that give every man,
woman and child the opportunity to
health and physical we'll being.
In her lecture Tuesday night Miss
Frances Jewell of the University OF
Kentucky will discuss the question OF
woman and Child Labor" as it exists
today in Kentucky.
Everybody produces or uses what is
produced by others. The question has
its economic side, affecting directl,
or indirectly the life of every one, the
side of national power and the hu
manitarian side. The best preparation
for war is wholesome living in time,
of peace. The best help to the need!
is to put them in the way to help them
selves.

KENTUCKY TOBACCO
SHOWS AN INCREASE
over LAST YEAR
Federal Agent Issues Crop Report
Showing More Tobacco In Ken
lucky Than During Last
Year or SO.

Kentucky's 1919 tobacco crop is es-
timated at 457,33O, ,OOO> pounds, corn
S3,700,000 bushels and potatoes $780,
600 bushels in the November Govern
ment crop report for Kentucky issued
Saturday by H. F. Bryant, field agent
of the u s. Bureau of Crop Estimates.
Minor crops reported for Kentucky
are: Sweet potatoes 1,296,000 bushels,
apples 100000 bushels, pears 1884,
900 bushels, clover seed 10000 bushels
and sorghum sirup. 2,451,500 gallons.
Last year Kentuoky's production OF
these crops was; tobacco 427,500,000
pounds, corn 9S,6O0,0O0 bushels, pota-
| toes 5,625,000 bushels, sweet potatoes
1,235,000 bushels, apples 3,780,000 bu-
shells, pears 100000 bushels, clover
seed $4,000 bushels, and sorghum sir
up 2,S26,000 gallons.
The increase in tobacco production
in Kentucky over 1918, In spite of
drouth and low yield per acre, is due
to increased acreage, the average yield
per acre being only $50 pounds COM
pared to 900 last year. Quality is re-
ported as 81 per cent. compared to SO
last year. The United States tobacco
crop this season is estimated at 1885,
$4,000 compared to 1,940,019,0 900
pounds last year.
1t is estimated that approximately
6 per cent. of Kentucky's acreage Of
corn was put into 'silos this season,
but the average yield per acre was
only about tons, due to drouth. There
was practically no frost damage to
corn in this State but some is now re-
ported being damaged by the warm
damp weather The average yield per
acre this year in Kentucky was 25 bu-
shells compared to 26 last year and a
10 year average of 271a bushels.

With quail, rabbits, squirrels, and
other game more plentiful than at any
time since the cold winter of 1917,
when birds were killed by the wealth
er, the hunting season in Kentucky
opened Saturday.
The rush for guns, dogs, licenses
and ammunition has been greater than
in years and reports from all sections
OF the State indicate that larger num-
bers of hunters than ever before In the
history Of the present game laws are
preparing to enjoy the sport for the
brief time 1t lasts.
The quail and rabbit season opens
Saturday and ends January 1. No more
than twelve quail may be killed by any
one hunter in any one day, but there
Ia no limit to the number Of "Brer
Rabbits" the nimrods may bag.
Squirrels may be hunted from July
/ to Dec. 16, ducks from Sept. 16 to
Dec. 81. The dove season closed Oct
18 and the. killing of doves now is un-
lawful.
County Clerk Owens issues licenses
for hunters and they cost 81 each.
So far over 700 hunters licenses
have been issued by the Mason county
clerks Office, but the rush is in nowist
stayed. All day today the office forct
was kept busy writing out permits to
hunt.
The licenses give permission to hum
rabbits and quail from Saturday tC
