CORN AND WHEAT THE FARM
Frs SLOGAN.

The first blowing for corn and
wheat is now being started by the
farmers, and it is claimed by many
twice the wheat acreage of the coun-
ty will be recorded another year.
Flowing for wheat and corn, accord
ing to a Bourbon county farmer
who was caught here by the heavy
rain yesterday, will occupy the at
tention Of the farmers until cold
weather, and there are prospects of
the biggest acreage of wheat and
corn in the next year in decade.
This matter has practically been set
tied upon, and the work will be
rushed from the start, which is now
being made.
The decision of many to do away
with the tobacco crop next year
also adds to the interest of the
other products, which will be more
in evidence during the year 1921.
The average farmer will not stake
his all on tobacco, as i'm the years
past, and especially the past two
years. There have been many Won
derful crops produced and a large
amount of money has been realized.
However, the condition has chang
ed, according to well-posted Bour-
bon county men, who are changing
their plans for the future. They also
state that the land which has been
given over to tobacco steadily for
years will be benefited by the
change
