PROTECTION AND FOREIGN
EXCHANGE

Under the existing Democratic tariff
for revenue only. the job and the wages
of the American worker are IN grave
danger.
The war made it impossible for Europe
to send anything here for sale and also
gave US an enormously big market FOR
our goods in Europe. Now with the war
over and European factories getting
back 10 production. We are facing flood
of imports. The tide has been rising for
the last six months. In a few months
moro 1t will engult US unless We have
erected a dixie to keep 1t out.
Senator Harding and other Republican
statesmen have given warning and have
advised preparedness against this COM
ing condition. They have promised that
preparedness II the Republican party Is
placed In power in Washington. Demo-
Gratis have merely sneered. the same as
they sneered at the idea OF the United
States getting into the war.
Foreign exchange rates are factor in
the situation that the American worker
must consider. Even before the war. the
worker in German. England. France and
Italy did not receive as much for q days
work as the American workman. Now
they are being paid in currency that is
worth much less in purchasing power
than before the war. They get more in
marks, or francs or lire but the gold
value Of a days work is less.
For instance. the gold value OF the
mark that an average German worker
receives for a days work is about IS
cents. Our American worker can COM
pare that with their own wages and see
whether they want 10 compete with men
who can work for 25 Gets a day.
But our workers are powerless to
prevent that competition. With our tar
III laws as they stand now and as they
will continue to stand II the Democrs-
tic part Is kept in power. there will be
nothing to prevent froetgn goods from
coming into our markets unrestricted.
Only a political party pledged to enact
a protective tariff measure can save
American prosperity. The Republican
party is absolutely pledged to that
course.

WHAT COX LEFT OUT

Speaking at Camp Perry. Governor
Cox gave very accurate statement OF
the cost OF tho war. He said:
The cost to the United States was
more than 100000 an hour for over
two years. The total expense OF s22,-

total disbursements OF the United States
Government from 1871 20 1913. It was

EARLY SAVED SEED
CORN is THE BEST

Reports indicate that the corn
crop in Kentucky promises to be the
best i'm years, and since We had a
late spring, sort of a cool summer
and recent wet weather it means
that an early frost would damage
this corn at least for seed purposes.
In order to avoid the same situa-
ton that existed in the spring of
1918, farmers are urged to gather
their seed corn early and dry it
thoroughly. Further information
along this line can be secured in

the origin, history and development
of the more important breeds Of
livestock with special reference to
their adaptation to Kentucky condi-
tions. The course in principles of
feeding embraces an elementary
study Of digestion and assimilation
and the use of digestible nutrients in
the production of bone, muscle, fat,
milk and work. Training will be
given in the compounding of rations
for different kinds of animals and
study will be made of the feed
stuff grown on the farm and Of
fered on the general or local market.
The course in livestock feeding
which comes in the second term, pro-
vides for a more advanced study of
feeds and their relation to livestock
management. Feeding experiments
will be investigated and observations
made as to the feeding and care of
the pure bred livestock as well as
the various feeding experiments in
progress on the Experiment Station
farm. The study in feeding will be
directed by E. J. MILFORD.
Under the leadership of ]. C.
Grimes systematic study will be
made of feeding, care and housing
of beef cattle for the market and for
breeding purposes. The students will
get the benefit of care experiments,
which have been carried on with
beef cattle. The fitting, care and
management Of breeding and fat
cattle for the sale and show ring
will be given attention. The stu
dents laboratory will consist of a
practical work i'm the care and
handling of beef cattle.
The production, growing, fitting,
finishing and marketing of sheep and
swine will form an interesting
course of study in the sheep and
pork production course. In connec-
ton with this course a study Of the
production, grading and marketing
of wool will be taken up, while the
work will consist of prac-
teal work in the care and manage
ment Of sheep and swine. fitting
them for sale and show ring and
handling the wool.
Many students in the short course
will be especially interested in the
breeding of farm animals course,
which will consist of the care and
of stud animals; the
method of improving farm stock by
selection, grading, inbreeding and
inc breeding; the laws Of heredity,
ETC., which will be taught by Prof.
W. s. Anderson.
