TEST SEED BEFORE PLANTING
Otherwise Full Crop Cannot Be Grown
Even Under the Most Favorable
Weather Conditions.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has com.
pletely under his own control Is the
planting Of good seed.
It is important that farm seeds be
tested before they are sown. other
wise, full crop cannot be grown even
under the most favorable conditions
Seed testing for practical results
says the United States department of
agriculture, can be done much more
easily than is generally believed.
The essential preparation for max.
ing seed tests consists Of providing the
simple apparatus necessary and Of be
coming familiar with the general pur-
poses and methods Of testing and the
features Of importance peculiar to
tests of particular kinds of seeds. Ask
the county agent, or write the depart.
ment of agriculture for bulletin.

As Chickens Never Cleanse Them

Do, Wallow Is Needed.

Chickens never wash, as many birds
do, but cleanse themselves of insects
by wallowing In dust. Where board
or cement floors are used In the
chicken house, some means Of busting
should be provided. A dust box three
feet by five feet, or four feet by four
feet will ne found large enough in most
instances. the United States de-
partment Of agriculture suggests. for
a flock of 80 or GO fowls. 1t should he
placed where it can be reached by
sunlight during us much of the day as
possible.
Fine, light, dry dust is best for the
box, hut sandy loan is good. Road
dust is recommended by many. but 1t
Is often hard to secure. Coal ashes
may be mixed with the soil If desired
to make 1t lighter.

courtesy Of Judge r. s. Rose, his
theme being Sanitation" He was
introduced by Gov. James d. Black,
who paid fine tribute to the State
Board Of Health.
DR.. Whittenberg spoke Of the nee
essity of good health above all things
and said the State Legislature, re-
cognizing the Importance Of good
health had given more and more
power to the State Board of Health.
but that body prefers a community
working ina spirit OF good will rath
er than in a spirit Of coercion. A
fine is often a good thing, inasmuch
as the Individual seldom forgets to
carry out the law afterwards.
The laws of health have been dis
regarded more than any others and
at the present time, Barbourvllle san
itation is in very bad condition in
spite of warnings from the local
Health Board
The common privy came In for
strong condemnation, the speaker
stating that actual tests show that
flies come from them to our dining
tables and carry disease germs to
our families. "a description OF the
sanitary privy may be secured from
the Agricultural Department at
Washington, d. c.. or thru Congress
man J. M. Robsion.)
The speaker said q man might be
a religious man and fear God, but
II he maintained q nuisance. he will
have to answer for It, since he de-
stroys or blights human life.
Barbourvilie, according to DR..
Whinttenberg, 10 unsafe from q san
itsry point Of view and especially as
1t is the home Of schools, Person
ally, he said, he would not live In
the town for this reason.
The speaker told about the work
being done in Louisville in the mat
ter Of doing away with venereal d.
seases and said a health certificate
should accompany every marriage
license.
Speaking on the subject of the
sewers OF Barbourville later, DR..
Whittenberg said that q sanitary
engineer had been ordered to come
and look, over the sewer question
and that fines would unquestionsbly
result from the present situation
which is disgrace to civilized
city. DR.. Albright was instructed
to proceed with the issuance Of war
rants against those who are break
ing the law. -. q.
In this connection we wish to ap-
prove the public spirited action of
Judge B. B. Golden, who has given
carte blanche to Dr.. Albright to
make arrangements necessary for
the passage of sewer main pipe
thru his property. He has delegated
his son, County Attorney James 8.
Golden, to assist DR.. Albright when
needed. t,

Join with others are, the Fiscal
