People Will Have Chance
To Vote On Bonds

During all the time that millions
Of dollars in Federal Aid had been
applied in building roads in Kentucky
other than in Montgomery county,
some potent influence always pre-
vented Montgomery county from
benefting in this expenditure Of pub
lie money.
OF course Montgomery county tax
payers had to and did pay their
share of the taxes from which the
Federal Aid funds we're created, but
through failure to act on the part of
the county, the money went else
where.
The State Road Commissioner an
nounces that Kentucky's share of
the Federal Aid road fund available
up to June 80 of this year is prac-
tically exhausted. He believes that the
next years allotment of $1,SO0,000
will be exhausted by September of
this year-in other words, that a

Wreck Survivors
Arrive ON Liner
That Sunk Bark
Captain of Wildrush Unable
to Account for Collision
on Clear Night Which
Cost the Lives of Five

The Spanish liner Buenos Aires, from
Barcelona and Cadiz, brought to port
yesterday the master and thirteen sur
vivors of the crew Of the American
bark Wildrush, which the steamship cut
in two and sank on May 9, about nine
hundred miles southeast of Sandy
Hook. Four of the crew were drowned
and one died of exposure.
The collision was described by Cap
tain Griffith Roberts, master of the
bark, as one of those inexplcable COL
isions of the sea in which two vessels
with the wide ocean to maneuver in
come together as if drawn by magnetic
attraction.
The Wildrush left this port for Ar
gentina with cargo of oil. She had
been out nine days and was moving
along slowly in light breeze when
the Buenos Aires hit her. The night
was clear and the moon was shining
when the vessels met. Captain Roberts
said the steamship was observed half
an hour before she hit him. When first
sighted the vessels were far apart and
each craft held steadily to its course.
According to the crew of the Wild
rush, it was thought aboard that the
Buenos Aires would cross her bow with
plenty of room, but she headed for
them at right angles, crashing into her
amidships and sending her under with
in three minutes after they came to-
gether.
Captain Roberts said that when he
saw collision was imminent he called
! to his crew to stand by and climb
aboard the Buenos Aires, but only he
and a sailorman were able to do this
The others in panic jumped into the
| sea.
When the liner backed away after
the impact Captain Roberts was cling
ing to one of the steamships anch OF
t1ukes and sailor was perched on the
other fluke.
Both men shouted and were hauled
aboard the Buenos Aires. Griffith
Roberts jr. the eleven-year- son OF
| the bark's master, was one of those ir

| he had been drowned.
Captain Antonio Wives, of the Buenos
Aires, cruised in the area of the wreck
until daybreak and succeeded in pick

the hearing on the protest made by
Jersey commuters against the increased
fares
F. H. Silleck. controller of the COM
pany, said 1929, 9,485 would be realized
over the usual revenue as the result
Of the increase in tariffs to 10 cents
on the Thirty third Street line and 6
cents on the downtown line. Mr.: Sill
leck explained that these figures we're
based on an estimate furnished by the
Interstate Commerce Commission when
it issued its order permitting the es-
tabllshment of the increased tariffs.
Chickering's at Hearing
The hearing resulted in almost con-
stant chickering's, the result OF which
being that Corporation Attorney John
j. Fallon of Hoboken declared there
were evidences of connivance in the
figures testified to by officials of the
company and that he proposed to
prove it.
J. V. Davies, chief engineer for the
railroad company, testified to the
bonded Indebtedness of the company,
and, in correcting statement sub
mitted April 20, reused the ire of Mr.
Fallon by attempting to add an item OF
$1,896,00o to the $78,0O0,0O0 on which
the company will claim S per cent

The failure of the company to in
clude the item in it's previous state

being an oversight. This led to a rgid

TO PREVENT SPREAD
OF PINK BOIL WORM
Federal Quarantine Effective
August | in Infested Areas
In Texas-Louisiana.

Washington-In an effort to curb
the spread of the pink boil worm in
the cotton belt, the department Of ag-
riculture Thursday authorized a quar-
antine effective August /, which will
be applicable to areas in Louisiana
and Texas known to be infested or
suspected of possible infestation. State
authorities will cooperate in ENFORCING
the quarantine, 1t was stated.
The growing crop must be under
the department Of agricultures an
nouncement said, Gin cooperation with
federal authorities who may inspect
fields as often as necessary and may
request prompt destruction of any cot
ton in any fields that are found to be
infested"
Enforcement of the quarantine reg
ulations will include, the department
said, control over all cotton seed
grown in the quarantined areas. State
and federal authorities are instructed
to forbid the use for planting OF seed
from such district and to require its
prompt milling within the state, and II
possible within the infested or regu-
lated area where it is grown.
All cotton seed hulls are to be dis
infected at the mills, quarantine reg
ulations provide. All forms of lint
cotton also are placed under joint
control of state and federal authori-
ties.
Cotton. from the quarantined area
of Louisiana must go out through the
port of New Orleans, and that from
Texas districts must pass through the
ports of either Galveston, Houston,
Texas City or Port Arthur
The new regulations provide that
shipments out of these states can be
made only through these ports. Re-
quirement also is made that such
shipments, if they re-enter the United
States, must come by all-water route
through New York, Boston or some
other Northern port designated in per-
mits, and on entering such ports must
be treated as foreign cotton.
Distinction of cars and boats used
for shipment of cotton from infested
areas also is required.
The agricultural department has Or
dered that all volunteer or other cot
ton growing in a non-cotton zone must
be promptly destroyed.

POULTRY FOR GENERAL FARM
Hen Is Main Dependence for increas-
ing Meat Supply-Farmer Must
Determine for Himself.

The hen, first and last, is the main
dependence for increasing the supply
of white meat and eggs on a farm, but
she requires the aid of turkeys,
guineas, geese, and ducks just as, on
dairy farm, the COW requires the aid
of pigs, sheep, and goats. The setting
of the standard at 100 hens per farm
is safe, but no such arbitrary stand
ard can be set for the other kinds of
poultry, say the poultry specialists of
the United States department of ag-
riculture.
The small farm, with grain fields OF
neighboring farms in proximity to the
barn and dooryard, would, perhaps, be
better without turkeys. The farm
through which no streams run and
which has no large pond would per-
haps be better without ducks. But
the circumscribed farm on which tur-
keys would be a disadvantage may be
well supplied with streams and ponds
so that ducks would be unusually
profitable, and the farm that has no
streams and ponds may have large
range for turkeys. Each farm family
will have to determine for itself what

BREAK FOWL OF BROODINESS
Hen Should Be Confined to Small Coop
Raised Off Ground, Preferably
With Slat Bottom.

When hens become Droody, they
should be 'broken up" as quickly as
possible for the sooner this is done
the sooner they will resume laying.
To break a hen Of broodiness she
should be confined to small coop
raised off the ground, preferably with
Stat bottom. Give her plenty of wa
ter to drink; she may be fed or not,
as desired. Not much difference will
be found in the time required to break
her of broodiness, whether she is fed
or made to fast, United States depart
ment of agriculture poultry specialists
say. Usually from three to six days
confinement will break her, but some
hens require 10 to IL days.
The broody hen will be recognized
by her inclination to stay on the nest
at night, the ruffling of her feathers and
her picking at anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes. The fact that her broodiness
has been broken up can be recognized
by the disappearance Of these symp-
toms.

then removed, allowing the gas to es-
cape through the canula. The canula
should be retained in place so long
as any gas escapes through it. Some
times several hours are necessary, and
the canula should be firmly tied In
place. All attendant should remain
near the animal, If possible, so long
as the canula is in the paunch.
Medicines That Relieve Bioating.
If the animal is not distressed by
the bloating, and the swelling of the
body Is not great, or when the alarm
ing conditions have been removed by
the use of the trocar, it is best to re-
sort to internal medicine to allay the
formation of gas. Two ounces of arc
matte spirits Of ammonia in two quarts
OF cold water should be given every
half hour, or half an ounce Of chloride
of lime dissolved in pint of tepid wa
ter may be given every half hour IN
til the pressure of the bloating has
been removed A dose Of purgative
medicine is usually beneficial after the
bloating has disappeared. For this
purpose one pound of Glauber's salts
viii usually prove effective.
Care should be used in the admin
istration of fluid medicine. Take time.
Do not hold the cows head too high.
Keeping the animals head raised, so
that her nose is slightly higher than
the level of her face will allow her to
swallow without interference.

GIVE ATTENTION TO
THRASHING MACHINE
Skill and Judgment of Operator
Are of Big Importance.
Follow Suggestions Given in lnstruc-
ton Book Furnished by Manufac-
turer-UnskiIIed Feeder Will
Cause Trouble.

ANY standard make of thraShing ma
chine is capable of doing satisfactory
work If kept in good repair and op-
Grated intelligently, according to spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Clean grain and
small losses depend more than any
thing else upon the skill and judg-
ment of the operator. Here are a
few rules the wheat thrasher should
observe carefully:
Study the instruction book sent out
by the manufacturer and follow the
suggestions closely.
See that the separator is set level
crosswise and lengthwise.
The speed of the cylinder teeth Is
approximately 5000 feet a minute.
This may be modified slightly up or
down in different machines and with
different grains. In general the rule is
correct.
Greater part Of the separation Is
done in the cylinder and Immediately
after the grain passes through it.
Use as few concave teeth as neces-
sary TO thrash all the grain from the
head. Two rows Of teeth set high are
better than four rows set low. ~
Crates give the best separation when
set as high as possible.
The makeup of the tailings deter
mines the character of the work done
by the sieves.
An unskilled hand feeder or reck-
less pitcher with self-feeder will
cause any machine to do poor work.
The bundles should be fed heads first
and straight. It is important that the
feed be steady and in continuous
stream. Do not crowd one moment
and let run empty the next. Damp,
tough straw cannot be fed as fast as
dry straw.
On a mechanical feeder see that the
governor is set and working properly.
