Spread By Rains

Rains, which were general in the
Blue Grass Friday and Saturday,
cost tobacco growers thousands of
dollars, according to DR.. V. w. Val
leau, of the Kentucky Experiment
Station, leader of the forces that

ages Of "wildfire" and trust" in
Kentucky. The two diseases are
spreading very rapidly in all sec
tions of the Blue Grass, he announc-
ed Saturday.
The infection is spreading over
wide area and despite efforts of
experts to check it, it is doing con-
siderable damage. "Rust' attacked
plants in the western Kentucky
fields about a month ago.
Cutting of the smaller plants in
infected fields was advised Satur-
day by DR.. Valleau.
Investigations conducted by the
Experiment Station show that the
smaller plants are hardest hit by
the infections because the leaves OF
the larger plants overspread and
protect the lower leaves form the
bacteria of the diseases, which are
spread by the wind.

Freight and Passenger
Increase Wednesday

Beginning Wednesday midnight
railroad rates in Kentucky will be
increased 25 per cent on freight and
20 per cent on passenger fares.
This means that railroad rates in
the State will be advanced to cor
respond with interstate rates. The
interstate increases were authorized
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission July 81, to be effective Aug
ust 26th.
The State Railroad Commission
felt that it had no jurisdiction over
blanket increases inside Kentucky
that conform with interstate rates
authorized by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 1t cannot pass
on the increased rates until after
they become effective and specific
complaint against separate tariffs
has been made the commission ruled.
The railroads last week fled new
tariffs increasing the intrastate rates
to correspond with the interstate
rates. This will increase passenger
fares to $50 cents mile and adj
vance freight rates 25 per cent.
No decision was given relative to
advance of IL IL per cent in ex-
press rates. The Commission sought
advice from Attorney General Chas
l. Dawson regarding express rates
and will give its decision later.
Under the law the express COM
panies cannot increase rates except
after thirty days notice to the Rail
road Commission. The American
Express Company asked the com
mission to waive the thirty days no
flee in order that the II 1-2 per cen
increase allowed it by the Interstate
Commerce Commission might be pu
into effect September 1.

were exhorbitant; that the l.. q \
railroad has not kept faith with tn
people and is not entitled to the IN
crease, and that the commission ant
the public should have time to VERT
