Cost Of Producing
Burley is Revealed

Investigations conducted by the
College of Agriculture and the U. s.
Department of Agriculture shows
that twenty-six cents a pound was
the average cost of growing tobacco
in the hurley tobacco belt of Ken
lucky.
The report emphasizes the fact
that the cost varies on every farm
on which tobacco is grown, and
stresses the further fact that a fixed
price for farm products based on
average cost of production would be
too low in so many instances and
with such large proportion of the
farms that the inevitable result
would be a decreased supply, with a
tendency to production away below
the needs of the country. The re-
port also shows the relationship be-
tween tobacco and other farm crops
and the raising of live stock.
The figures were obtained from in
vestigation of 81 farms in Fayette.
Jessamine, Woodford and Scott
counties.
The average cost per acre OF the
lands was $4,000.
The average acreage in tobacco
was II acres per farm.
The average of tobacco yield per
acre was 1,143.3 pounds.
Average number of hours of man
labor to produce one acre, 374.9.
Average number of hours horse la
Dor to produce one acre, 97.7.
Average cost Of man labor per
acre, $121.S2.
Average cost of horse labor per
acre, 1892.
This is the first survey of its kind
ever made. 1t was conducted by w.
D. Nichols, of the University of Ken
lucky, and F. w. Peck, of the U. s.
Department Of Agriculture.

Lexingtonians to
Be Here Monday

Mount Sterling will be visited next
Monday morning by one hundred bus
mess and professional men of Lex
ington, who are touring Central Ken
lucky on a mission of "good roads,
good Kentuckianism ana good fell
lowship."
The visitors will arrive at 10 is in
automobiles and are making what
they call a "Get-together" tour under
the auspices of the Lexington Board
of Commerce. Cities visited are
asked to participate in the tour and
send representatives with these
boosters. The trip will extend over
period of two days.
A Pathfinding Committee was here
yesterday making arrangements for
the local reception.
Several entertainment features will
be carried on the tour, including
brass band, community singing and
"stunts." A speakers bureau will
accompany the party, and short talks
on Central Kentucky development
will be made. No trade solicitation
will be permitted on the trip and
there will be no advertising vehicles
in the motorcade.
A similar trip was conducted last
week through the counties south of
Lexington with excellent results. The
movement is expected to develop into
definite program for a better and
bigger Central Kentucky.
Newspapers in some of the cities
visited on the first trip had the fol-
lowing to say in part, of the "Get-
together" tour:
"Courtesies of the most cordial
character were exchanged yesterday
afternoon between the Chamber of
Commerce of Lexington and the
Chamber of Commerce of this city.
Seventy-fve of the leading business
men of Lexington fraternalized with a
like number of business men of this
city. The purpose was to tie the
knot Of friendship between the bust
ness men of the two cities tighter
to help boost Central Kentucky I'M
like any other visiting delegation of
this character, the advice given the
people of Frankfort by all of the
speakers of the Lexington crowd was
to buy at home-"spend your money
in Frankfort and if not in Frankfort,
in Central Kentucky" The Lexington
delegation has visited all the larger
Central Kentucky towns during the
last two days. The same advice was
given in every city visited The sole
purpose of the trip was for the bust
ness men of Central Kentucky to get
together" = Frankfort State Jour
nal.
"For two hours last Tuesday the
