WILD FIRE AND RUST

Two serious diseases Of tobacco
have recently appeared and are do
ing extensive damage in large part
of the Burnley tobacco section.
These are the wild fire and the an
gular leaf spot or what is known to
the growers as rust. At this time,
nothing effective can be done for the
crops, but steam sterilizing of the
beds next spring is recommended as
possible remedy and growers are
advised to select next years seed
from disease free fields.
The tobacco wild fire first ap-
peared in North Carolina and vir-
ginia about four years ago but has
never before been reported as oc-
curing in Kentucky. 1t appears as
conspicuous yellow spots about
one-fourth to one-half inch in diam
ster and later develops brown
spot in the center. Several spots
nay join and destroy large. Sec
ton of the leaf or completely des-
troy it. 1t first appeared in the seed
bed and did considerable damage
shortly before planting time, some
seed beds being completely destroy
ed by it. From the beds, it was
carried to the field and the heavy
rain and wind of July IL spread it
widely in some fields. Probably 10
to 20 per cent of the fields about
Lexington and the neighboring coun-
ties are effected to some extent with
wild fire.
The angular leaf spot or rust is
more wide spread than the wild fire
and has been found in all lelds of
Burley examined so far by the de-
partment of agronomy, College of
Agriculture, by DR.. w. d. Vallesu.
1t begins as a small brown spot with
very narrow yellow border. Grad

ually on badly infected leaves the
spot grows together, killing large
areas Of the leaves. Growers re-
port that this has been present be-
fore, but only rarely has caused Sc
rious losses this early in the season.
Both diseases are Of bacterial
origin and spread rapidly during wet
windy weather. Losses in some
lelds from one or the other or both
of these diseases will amount to
more than rs per cent Of the crop.
Damage thus far, within a radius
of Is miles about Lexington has
amounted to more than 100000.
At present, the disease is not
spreading but with the onset of a
rainy season much more extensive
damage can be expected.

BETTER SIRES-
BETTER STOCK"

Kentucky, through the College of
Agriculture, has affiliated with the
Bureau of Animal Industry, in a ma
ton campaign for "Better Sires-
Better Stock" and will start the
movement this week through the de-
partment of animal husbandry by
sending to all county agents and the
general press publicity on the snb-
ject, outlining the work for the i'm
mediate and distant future. The
purpohe and goal in view is the i'm
1provement of the principle classes
of domestic live stock in the United
States. Improvement has been tax
ing place for many years but prog
ress will be FASTENED by definite,
systematic and concerted action.
The value of live stock depends
on good care, housing feeding and
disease control as well as on breed
ing. Good breeding however, deter
mines fundamental capacity of an
:, animal to be profitable to its owner.
Accordingly, the replacement of
scrub sires by good purebreds is
considered a basis for all other i'm
provement. While the use of good
females is likewise important, good
sires bring results more quickly and
economically in most cases.
The NATIONWIDE campaign Of
live stock Improvement now being
undertaken is in response to popu-
lar sentiment and to support local
campaigns undertaken through the
State, community and individual in
itiative. Any person in the States
who keeps any KIND OF domestic
stock may take part in the campaign
and be so enrolled. 1t includes the
boy or girl who has merely pig or
some poultry as well as the ranen-
man or extensive live stock breed
er. The enrolment of persons per-
manently engaged in raising live
stock for market is especially de-
sired.
The county agents in Kentucky
will sign up everyone who is using
purebred sires and the records will
be kept in Kentucky and in Wash

STATE CAPITAL NEWS

Unless some method is discovered of getting coal from the ground, there vii be lot of cold families in Arkansas this winter. This is espec- ially true of those who possess the big omfortable base burner, as hard coal is next to impossible to get. Lit tie Rock distributors declare they have had orders placed with mines in the hard coal district since early spring, and are still unable to secure deliveries. They give as a reascn that the miners are good vacationisr.; taking a day off for every day they work. This has made the supply very limited and the coal mines are heavily oversold and are unable to meet the demand.
 There seems to be condition of complaisance on the part of Arkansas Democracy that is truly refreshing. Several months ago an $. O. $. call was sent out from Republican head quarters, that several million dollars was needed to insure the success of the G. O. P. in the coming election. The faithful responded promptly and
 
 kansas quota of $30,000 was quickly raised.
 Then came the call for the Demo- cratic campaign fund and acres of valuable newspaper space, thousands of individual letters and eloquent ap- peals by party leaders have resulted in three weeks in securing less than $10,000. This of course represents a much larger proportion of givers than does three times the amount sub scribed for tte Republican campaign. It is more truly Democratic, consist ing as it does of contributions of from 50c to $500 and $1O.00 on the average. Yet, the time is short, the need is great and the disposition should be much more generous if an amount is to be raised in the state of winch our Democracy should not be ashamed.

BENEFICIAL ADVERTISING CAM PAIGN SOON TO BE LAUNCHED

New Orleans, La, Oct. 1.-The As sociated Rice Milldrs of America, Inc. announce that thd recent decision of the Southern Rice Growers Associa- tion and the Rive4 Rice Growers As Sociation to contribute toward the if nancing of the national rice adver- tising campaign means that the en- tire rice industry lis now on united basis with the exception of a few mil lers. The association hopes that these millers will come in and enjoy the benefits to be derived from this big movement to make rice stand ard and staple fdod of the American people.
 The campaign is designed to inf1u- ence the American people to become rice consuming nation, thereby put ting the whole industry on a sound basis. This will be accomplished by educating American women to the value of rice as la healthful, delicious and economical food.
 The amount of money available for the Association will now be large enough to make distinct impress sion on the American public. Repre- sentatives of N. W. Aver 6 Son of Philadelphia, wlto are directing the rice campaign, Have spent some time in the rice belt interviewing mil1ers, growers and b3lnkers. They found every one agreed that the Associated Rice Millers of America, Inc, is talk ing the most imbortant step, not only for the rice ind llstry, but for the de- velopment of the South that has been taken jr. recent wears.
 Frank Roberts, president of the Calcasieu National Bank of Lake Charles, in spetking for the bankers said that the movement is one in which the bankers have been trying to interest the rice industry for years. He explained that the increased consumption of rice would enable the various factors in the industry to make fair profit on their endeavors and capital invested, and increase the consumption in this country alone far beyond the number of pounds that are now raised
 W. M. Armistead, a member of the firm of N. w. Aver & Son, has re- gently been in New Orleans in con- sultation with the officials of the As sociated Rice Millers of America. After reviewing the situation, he ex- pressed the belief that rice offers the

greatest opportunity for promotion work of any food in America and stated that conditions for this work were unusual In the first place the food value of rice and the 3G0 or more appetizing ways in which 1t. can be prepared are far beyond any other article of food In addition he ex- plained 1t is already convenient for the American public to buy rice be- cause of it's general distribution throughout the United States. Al most every store selling food sells rice. With the distribution problem thus already solved, the object of the rice industry is to educate the peo- pie to eat more rice, not only for it's food value and deliciousness, but from the pont of view of economy as well.
 MT. Armistead is confident that the steps taken by the Associated Rice Millers of America will in time put the industry on a solid foundation. said MT. Armistead 'why every indi- vidual firm or company in any way interested in rice should not join hands with the Associated Rice Mil lers of America in making this move ment the greatest campaign for the promotion of an article of food that was ever launched in America" :" fThis conviction is borne out by the steps just taken by the Southern Rice Growers Association, the River Rice Growers Association and number of millers who h ad not come in until recently.)
 He continued, q am convinced that the Associated Rice Millers of America are correctly organized for this great work. It has men at the helm of unquestioned ability to carry through to a conclusion the plans as laid down.
 ''The Associated Rice Millers of America have taken the most impor- tant step for the benefit of the indus try that has been made since the first pound of rice was grown in America. Its members are to. be con- graduated and commended by the en- tire rice industry
 Dr. H. M. Blain, manager of the Associated Rice Millers of America, is justly enthusiastic over the position he and his associates are in to make standardization of rice realization and to make rice a food as staple as potatoes, flour or sugar.
 Information from Advertising Headquarters in Philadelphia is to the effect that the campaign is being worked out as rapidly as is consist ent with the care it requires. The advertising will be started in req sonable length of time and directed to the logical consumers of rice. This advertising will not only explain the value of rice as food and tell of it's delieiousness, but will be educational as well, teaching the American public how to cook and serve rice.

 Once more another holocaust has been averted; another calamity nip ped in the bud; another catastrophe has failed to materialize. It is prob ably due to the fact that the proposed cataclysm was published in advance. Had there been no publicity and the comic wreck been permitted to creep upon Us unawares, 1t is probable that Arkansas, especially Little Rock, would today be mass of debris and shambles of wrecked buildings and regulations.
 It IS passing strange that persons of average intelligence should still be worried by prophecies of evil, em- ulating from anonymous sources. Not many years ago, the negroes of Pine Bluff and Little Rock especially, as well as some of the more ignorant and credulous whites, were frighten- ed to the extent that they left the cities in droves when it was announc- ed by a crazy street fakir that the two cities would sink into the earth on a certain day and that steamboats would run on Main Street Some ac- tually believed it. The papers were full of the story in advance, of course, all in a jocular vein, and yet many thought the catastrophe would occur just as had been predicted. On the day when the great horror was to be consumated, thousands of negroes f1ocked from the city to fancied se- curity in the rural districts, but it nev- CT happened and they soon returned
 
 ly existence.
 The recent experience through which Little Rock passed was not quite so bad. Some crazy core spondent wrote the Mayor that on October l, the city was to be blown up. He said this was to be divine retribution against the profiteers. The Hateful day came, guards were placed about many places of business and public buildings. Of course, those responsible for these safe guards didn't believe that anything would happen, but they wanted to be prepared for anything that might oc- cur. The story was told in some of the schools and the children fright ened by the prospect of impending calamity, but the day passed without event of any kind, as most days do, and the watchful police failed to dis cover even a suspicious character in the city who looked as though he was disposed to blow up the town.
 Possibly some basis for the story may have been found in a pamphlet which was sold in the city by a little old man who looked like he had step- ped out of the patriarch's class in the Bible. The pamphlet was an exposi- tion of Revelations and declared that, 'the end that Christ said would come is near at hand (not the end of the world) but the end of this generation for it's own worship of False Gods , He also said: "All these figures show ing angels coming down from Heaven have been accomplished and describ- ing scenes being enacted in Heaven have been accomplished on earth among men and by men, and the above angel is our next President, who will cast all these anarchistic, bolshevistic, law-breaking, profteer- ing, secret organized conspiracies in to the bottomless pit and put stop to the wasting of millions upon mil- lions of dollars going to night meet ings to engage in tomfoolery and con- spiracies against some one else and against honest competition of busl> ness"
