PATRICK TELLSOF
COMING HOG SALE
Successful Outcome OF Sale On April
l7th Is Seen By County
Agent.
(By j. A. Patrick)

All indications point to a success
full sale of feeder hogs Saturday,
April 17th. A good many hogs have
already been listed for the sale, If
consignments continue to be listed
quite large number of hogs will be
sold on this sales day.
This day will not be any material
change from the ordinary shipping
days, except no cattle will be receiv-
ed for shipment. Farmers from all
parts of the county should take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to dispose
of their pigs. We are now at the
place our pigs must be put on feed
for the early fall months. Because
Of short feed or pasturage many Of
our farmers will not be in position
to feed these pigs at profit. Nor
thern farmers, with an abundance of
red clover and corn can feed these
pigs to advantage. So it will be
money to us to sell and money to
many of our northern farmers to buy.
Heretofore, we have brought our
pigs to Paris as it suited us, few
at time, hardly ever having car
load on the same date, thus making
it rather difficult to sell the pigs to
an advantage. By setting this date
and all who have pigs to sell bringing
them in, we can grade them and sell
them in car lots here at Paris for a
good price.
/ have already had several calls
from men who are in the market for
feeder pigs. Men who are familiar
with the practice Of selling feeder
pigs inform me that car load of
good feeder pigs will sell for the same
money here at Paris as they would
bring at Louisville. That is, If they
are selling for Is cents in Louisville
they would sell for the same money
here. The buyers prefer to buy them
at small towns rather than the large
stock yards. This saves a commits
sion, the expenses of vaccination, and
the pigs are not so likely to take dis
eases.
This date is planned for the benefit
of the farmers of the county. Its
success will depend on the interest
taken. However, if farmers COOP
crate in this undertaking as they have
in many others, it will be a success
in every way.

MOODY ADVISES
SEED CORN TESTING
This Years Supply Is Very Inferior
And Poor Crop Will Result
Unless Careful.

Demonstrative of the practical ag-
ricultural work being done by the
agriculture classes at Grove School
under the direction of Prof. Hilman
Moody, is the following instruction
relative to seed corn:
Due to the many heavy rains last
fall Henry County has very poor
grade of seed corn this year. Much
of it failed to mature, some is moldy,
and the germ or heart is either dead
or very weak in a great deal of the
corn that is apparently sound and in
good condition.
The only way to determine the val
ue of seed corn is to actually sprout
a few grains from each ear of a SAM
pie and see how many grains start
off with a good growth. Some corn
growers have been doing this for
several years and all are finding that
this year there are more poor ears
than we have had for number of
years.
The Agricultural classes of Grove
High School have been testing seed
corn by planting five grains from
each ear in numbered squares in
shallow boxes of dirt and noting the
result in each square.
One box showing the result of a
test OF Sd ears is now on exhibition
in the show window of A. M. Leach
& Son. All ears were apparently
sound and fit for good seed but the
following figures show the number OF
squares which showed the number OF
good stalks out of a possible five.
None, 10; one, 6; two, 9; three
IL; four, 6; five, IL; total, "a.
This test shows that out of 27C
grains planted only 139 stalks o1
corn were produced. In other word,
just about half the grains failed t.
come up. Thus in planting seed o.
this kind it would be necessary t,
plant double stand.
Another test of seed corn by tn,
Agricultural Glass in which extr.
good seed corn, carefully selected
and well cared for was used and tn
termination showed 81 good grain
out of 100. 1t takes good see,
corn to show a termination percen
of 81 and most of us do not have
this year.
The safe thing to do is to select O
buy good seed corn and then test
sample to make sure.

WARRANTSLKELY
SOON FOR LEADERS,
OF TOBACCO WAR
Special Grand Jury Investigates
Burning OF Mayfeld Tobacco
Chute.
STATE TROOPS GUARD
CITY'S TOBACCO BELT
General Grievance Of Planters Said
To Be Cause OF The
Outbreak.

Warrants for the arrest of the
leaders in the burning of the Mayfield
tobacco chute are expected to be is
sued soon, following an investigation
by special grand jury, behind clos
ed doors. Meanwhile the several
young men, who are said to have re-
vealed the names of the culprits to
the jury, are being guarded by SOL
diers, and state troops are stationed
in the town. Also, work of rebuild
ing the chute is in progress.
For a week now, authorities have
been probing the chute affair and the
Leitchfield machine gunners have pa
trolled the city's tobacco belt.
Adj. Gen. DeWesse believes the
seat of the trouble arose in northwest
part of Graves county, where it seems
that Socialistic tendencies have been
shown among a certain group of men
for some time. The break in dark
tobacco plunged growers in debt.
Then when land values aero-planed,
they sold their land, but when tobac-
co prices took rise bought it back
at higher prices, only to have tobacco
tumble again when their first crops
were on the market. Thus they be-
came infuriated at what they termed
a scheme to ruin them.
An incident, which is said to have
added to their spirit of anarchy is
one that Paris has had likewise to
come up, though not in the same dis
agreeable manner. This was the re-
moval of the hitching racks around
the square at Mayfeld. Planters
objected to their removal and threat
ened to stop trading at Mayfield on
this account. The general thinks this
added to their general grievance a.
gainst Mayfeld.
