JUNIOR AGRICULTURAL CLUB
BOYS AT STATE FAIR

Willard Baker, president repre-
sentative of Scaffold Cane club,
Madison county, and Everett Rey-
nolds, president and representative Of
Hummel club, Rockcastle county.
These boys won this trip by their
good work and leadership in Junior
Agricultural club. They returned
Saturday full of enthusiasm and
plans for 1921 club work.
Everett brought honors to Rock
castle county. He entered a junior
judging contest of corn and hogs with
40 others and came out with second
place-S15 trophy cup.
County Agent Spence is rejoicing
over victories won. Since he has
been county agent, 1914 to 1920, he
has had a State Champion in his ter
ritory every year, making a total of
6 victories won by boys in club work.
Watch The Citizen for further de-
tailed description by the boys them
selves.

FENCES

Fences are good. They keep hogs
and cattle from crops, they line
roads and protect dooryards.
Who would think Of tearing down
fences? "Cursed be he that re.
moveth the bounds" saith the Bible.
If anybody moves a corner post or
stake or cuts down line tree, 1t is
serious business before the law. The
first move in buying land is to estab-
lish the line. Anyone who moves that
line and takes land that does not be-
long to him will bring on a fight in
a minute. The mountains have a lot
of graves because men would not re-
gard the fences.
Who that has any sense would
shake his fist at the fence as he
rides along? Who that has any sense
would be troubled because he must go
through the gate that keeps the hog
out Of his garden and flower bed
Who would get angry at the little bar
that keeps the baby in?
Fences Are Good

laws are in the land. Laws protect
and help. Fences on farm and pike
are like laws for mind and soul. !
Laws and rules in school mark the
best way to travel in thinking, liv-
ing, and acting.
God has given ten laws in the Ten
Commandments they fence up the
world of thought and one who travels
in thought by the Ten Commandments
will find the Commandments like I
fences-they show the best road and
protect the traveller.
Thinking will bring on feeling and
the Ten Commandments are ten
fences to mark the way the feelings
should run. Feelings that run with
the Ten Commandments will be sound,
feelings that do not run with the Ten
Commandments will rot the heart !

Plenty Of thoughts are like hogs
they root through the mind and tear
up everything and spoil the fruits
and flowers Of the soul. Laws are
the fences which keep these hog
thoughts out Of the mind.
II costs a lot Of money to make
fences. Good yellow locust posts will
stand the longest and good wire with
sharp barbs will make the hog, horse
and bull keep out Of crops, but 1t
costs money to keep up the fence.
Keeping up good fence makes lots Of
hard work. Every year the fence
must be looked after.
Keeping up fences is like keeping
up the laws of the land. Expensive
courts are established to look after
the law. The Judge and the sheriff,
the constables and the deputies,
policemen and deputy policemen, rev.
enue officers and detectives are at
work night and day to repair breaks
in the law.

cooked our dinner. Having built a

This same fellow said that he did not

He traps all winter and, as a rule,

HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN
CONTINUED from last week.

Caring for the Seed
The subsequent care Of the seed
cars is even more important than the
selection. To preserve its germinat-
ing power the corn should be done
dry before freezing weather comes;
then no degree Of cold will injure It.
The problem is to store the seed ears
so that they will be safe from injury
from mice and rats and yet be in a
position to dry out rapidly. On the
average farm there is rarely to be
found a rat-and-mouse- proof seed
house. and about the only way to
protect stored seed from those pests
is to hang II up in the top Of cribs,
sheds, etc. Fortunately this method
of storing seed corn cannot be inn
proved upon, as far as supplying
good conditions for drying is con-
cerned. The ears can be strung on
binder Irvine, or hangers can be made
Of wire fence. II desired, a good
type of hanger can be bought at a
reasonable price. OF course there
are various ways of storing seed that
will provide ideal drying conditions,
such as shelves. drying-racks and
posts studded with nails. upon which
the ears are stuck. The main prob
lem is to have plenty Of space be-
tween the ears.
A room or crib can be made mouse
proof by lining with wire cloth, and
when such a room is available vari-
Gus handy devices can be used for
storing seed that cannot be used I'M
der ordinary farm conditions.
The commercial seed-corn grower
will need a special seed house, rat
proof and mouse-proof and, If posi-
BILE, capable of being heated. Usual
ly such houses are provided with
tiers of shelves on which the ears
are laid.
In Kentucky the use Of artificial
heat is not necessary, except, per-
haps, in seed houses where large
amounts of seed are stored. Even
in seed houses high temperature Is
not desirable.
1t usually takes about two months
to ten weeks for corn to become dry
even under the most ideal conditions.
When thoroughly dry the ears can
of course be put into barrels, boxes
or any convenient place.
Always hang or store corn as soon
as brought in. The ears are often
damaged by lying around for some
time. In case of field-selected corn,
which contains much moisture when
gathered, the ears should never be
left in sacks or piles, even over night,
as corn will heat and spoil very
quickly.
Do not be caught without plenty
Of good seed corn next spring. Gather
enough for planting and replanting
for two years. Also enough for a
neighbor who may forget to gather
seed.
Rules for Selecting Seed Corn
1. From hills with two stalks
(checked).
2. From stalks bearing two or moro
ears, or one good ear.
