F0RDS0N TRACTOR

What we rewriting is not in ma
turei of an advertisement. It is to
advise the farmers of what we have
seen-it's uses or whether or not,
they cannot afford to be without it..
1t is this-a few days ago we were
invited to take an automobile ride
into the country, where we saw a
Fordson tractor at work. 1t was
preparing a tobacco field for small
grain. BY the use of a double disc
harrow and in answer to our query,
we learned that this tractor had har-
rowed 25 acres that day, putting it
in a plant bed condition. We were
further advised that by running it on
double time, night and day, it could
do double amount of work. We also
learned that by doing blowing this
tractor could break 16 acres per day
and when we inquired of the several
uses, we were informed Of the many
kinds of work it was able to per-
form. Filling of silos, cutting grain,
crushing grain, cutting straw and
oats for feed, running thrashing ma
chimes, pulling stumps and various
other kinds of work. We also learned
that with one man at the steering
wheel it would accomplish more than
could be done with IL draft horses
and three men. Considering the cost
of the tractor we found it was many
times cheaper and much less expen-
sive to operate; it then occurred to
us, as it does now. that no farmer
with any intentions of producing big
crops by thorough cultivation, could
well afford to be without a Ford
son Tractor. We saw this machine
climb hills that was difficult for
horses to climb, go around stumps
with the greatest ease and put a
hillside in as good condition as level
ground. We advise our readers to
look up the Fordson and consider it's
many uses.

''Old Kentucky Home
Purchased for $50, 900

Members Of the "Old Kentucky
Home Commission" authorized by
the last General Assembly to secure
an option on the home near Bards-
town where Stephen Collins Foster
wrote "My Old Kentucky Home"
met at Bardstown yesterday and
empowered Arch Fl. Pulliam, chair
man of the commission, to accept
the price of $4,000. fixed in the
option which would have expired on
November 1. Members of the COM
mission will arrange to underwrite
the initial payment Of the property
on behalf of the State, and it is ex-
pected the next Legislature will ap-
propriate the entire sum when the
Commonwealth will come into pos
session Of the historic property.
In addition to the Foster home
the State will take over the furniture
in the home and 235 acres Of ground,
which make up the estate.
For many years the "Old Ken
lucky Home" has been mecca for
tourists, and while the grounds
have always been open to visitors,
full appreciation of the wonderful
homestead was impossible owing to
the restriction which private owner
shin necessarily imposed.
Other members of the COMMISSION
besides Mr.. Pulliam, whose home is
at Bardstown, are Judge Robert W.

and Mrs. Clement French, Maysville.

Census Figures Show
Only a Slight Gain

The census figures for Mt. Ster-
ling and Montgomery county have
been officially announced by the
government and show Mt. Sterling
having only gained SO in population
in the past ten years, giving us a
total population of 1895 as COM
pared with 1882 in 1910 and 1851
in 1900. We feel confident there is
some hg mistake and believe there
have been as many new homes built
as the increase in population shows,
to say nothing of the flats which
are now occupied which were for
merly used for other purposes.
Then, too, on registration day over
1000 men and women registered and
it is said there are we'll over 1000
pupils in school in this city, and
taking into consideration the many
children not in school under 81
years of age, we are convinced our
population should show several hun
bred more than it does.
The population for Montgomery
county is given as 12,245; in 1910.
1865, showing loss of 623 in the
last ten years. If this is correct it
appears that within a reasonably
short time there will be but few
citizens left in the county, for in
1900 the census figures showed H.
1874. There is undoubtedly some
thing wrong somewhere, and if these
figures are correct, which we do not
believe, an investigation should be
made to determine what is the mat
ter with the good old county of
Montgomery, the county of which
our forefathers were proud, and
why so many are finding the path
that leads from home. LET'S GET
BUSY AND LOOK INTO THIS
NATTER!
