STATE PRIZE is
CLAIMED BY PlERATT
Madison County Man Makes Re-
cordFor Prizes With Limit
ed Number of Hogs

When II. G. Pieratt, living east of
the city, presented his hogs at the
state fair he was confronted with the
"cream of the state" so to speak,
but there was none that beat grand
champion sow, which took first prize
in point of age, the first in senior
champion and first in grand cham
,pion classes. Thus the blue ribbon of
the state of kentucky goes to the
Pieratt drove of Madison county.
Mr.. Pieratt was also receiver. of the
second prize for board hog. This
animal had never before been beat
On, although shown at many of the
largest fairs of the state. AS result
of the exhibitions thus far, the owner
has won a record with four hogs, talk
ing six blues, y champions and five
out Of possible six grand champions.
This is an unexcelIed record, it is said
for this number of hogs. The hog
that was beaten this year was tbs
grand champion last year and this is
the first time that he had been beat
en- in eight exhibitions.
Mr. Pieratt who is making a spe-
cialty of Poland China hogs, has been
attracting wide attention as a result
of the quality of stock he has been
exhibiting and he contemplates hay
ing a herd next year that viii com

during the next six months, and is q
the belief that he viii be able to

The fairs in this part of the state al
which the Pieratt stock was exhibited
were the Berea fair, the Blue Grass

HARDING FAVORS
DOLLAR WHEAT
That Price AnpEe To Recompense
j, Farmer He Told Senate
He Opposed Farm Loan

Louisville Ky, Sept. The
Democratic State Headquarters
in Louisville is sending out to the
'rural communities in Kentucky a
very striking circular relative to
Senator Harding's advocacy OF
Dollar Wheat.
The significance of this circu-
lar is that it is Of Republican orr
gin.
1t is q. reproduction Of hand
bill printed by the~Farm Defense
League Of Ohio and circulated in
Chicago prior to the Republican
national convention by the sup
porters of various candidates for
the nomination opposing Senator
Warren G. Harding. The circu-
iation Of this document, therefore,
will be marked by the unusal
feature of a Democratic organiza-
ton distributing Republican liter
allure. The circular will reveal
strikingly to the farmers Of Ken
lucky Senator EIarding's attitude
/; on agriculture.
The question before the United
States Senate at the time was the
proposition to fix the price Of
wheat at s. per bushel. Senator
Harding opposed this on the
ground that 81 per bushel was
plenty for the farmer to get for
| his wheat. From the Congress
sional Record his own words on
this subject were:
In this latter day farming has
become an occupation for profit
and ! happen to know that under
normal conditions, dollar wheat
makes it a very profitable Occur
patton. | said that raising wheat
was a profitable occupation in
time OF peace; and | say to the
| Senator from North Dakota that
the knowing farmers Of the coun-
! try are buying land in Ohio at
$50 per acre for the very purpose
OF going into a commercial propo-
sition OF raising wheat probably
Fat 81 per,bushel."
Senator Harding on another oc-
tcasion opposed the Federal Farm
Loan Act legislation which the
farmers of this country regard
as the greatest boon ever offered
to the rural communities. Sena-
tor Earding's words on this sub
iject are:
Il will not assume to say that
CONDITIONS in Ohio are altogether
Hike those OF other States in tho
Union, but believe | can state al
absolute truth when | say that
there IS no more need for a meas
ure OF this kind for the aericlltur-
lists Of the state Of Ohio than Tho

tention of the convention to the
statement made by Senator Hard
ing's manager, III. M. DaugIerty

HORSES IN DEMAND

The demand for mules to work in
the Texas oil fields has nearly de-
nuded Kansas Of mules, which are
selling at phenomenally high prices;
Montana and Nebraska have been
drawn upon heavily and now Kern
county is shipping horses to compete
with the mules in the new oil fields.
With the rapidly mounting costs OF
fuel. oil. rubber and machinery the
economic factor of the horse cannot
be ignored and the more trucks and
tractors are put in use the greater
demand there will be for the horse.
Each have their uses, and each IL
supplemental to the other. With
every section Of new land brought
under cultivation, with every new
oil field opened up. with every new
enterprise established by trucks and
tractors. there ID an increased demand
for the horse that can do the work.
The lines are sharply drawn be-
tween drafters and ineflicienta the
weaklings being inexorably strapped.
the demand being for bigger and
weightier horses with more quality,

because Of his inability to spread him

therefore. seems apparent that work
should be confined largely to definite
projects and with organizations that
will work along the lines which they
select because of their Importance to
the community. BY such a method
1t is possible to reach more individ-
uals in a concrete way than by scat
