A REAL MESSAGE TO BOYS AND
GIRLS
Berea, Kentucky,
October II, 1919

Dear Readers:
will try to give you a sketch Of
experiences with the Junior Agri-
culture Club. | joined the club two
years ago and decided TO grow corn.
On account Of the drought my acre
only raised 46 bushels OF corn first
year. This year | decided to try
my luck again in corn, which looks
very well. Mr.. Spence came TO my
house one evening and wanted 10
look over my corn, so we looked it
over. Then he wanted TO see my
record book, which was up-to-date.
About a month later I received q
letter from Mr.. Kercher, State Club
Leader, Lexington, sending me my
certificate OF appointment and the
instructions TO attend the State Fair
as a County representative.
The ROckcastle County boy was
sick and unable TO go, so il was
necessary 10 make the second ap-
pointment, who was Homer Hansel,
OF Livingston.
We had a fine time on our trip,
and after seeing all the live stock
shows, there was judging contest,
which I entered and came out first,
prize being a s25 silver cup. This
trip did not cost us a cent. | shall
never forget the fine live stock,
farm machinery and farm exhibits.
We boys, about eighty in number,
had our tents right on the fair
grounds near the big stock show
pavilion.
There were so many things TO see
and remember that ! cannot tell
you about them all. II you want
TO go like I did and see all I saw
and enjoy il like ] did, you had
better see Mr.. Spence, our County
Agent. and join the Junior Agricul-
ture Club and do something; this
will give you a chance TO go TO the
State Fair.
| gathered my corn the other day
and found that ! had 81 bushels,
which cost me S29.l5 TO make. Fifty
one bushels at Si60 per bushel
brought me $500; $3.50 minus
s29A5 equals S52i5 profit. You see
il paid me TO raise this acre Of corn.
won a certificate Of credit last
year from State College Of Agri-
culture, and am expecting 10 win
another this year. ! will attend
school in Berea this winter.
Yours truly,
Reuben Lambert,
Club Member

PRODUCE REVIEWS

Trading has been very quiet on
butter and eggs during the week,
as is usually the case during the
holidays. Prices are showing a low
er tendency both in consuming cen
tiers and producing territory.
Reserve stocks in storage are
above normal, and appear ample for
future requirements.
Receipts OF poultry are light, and,
due TO the demand, there has been
some advances in paying prices
throughout the country.
Reserve stocks Of poultry in stor-
age appear TO be lighter than a
year ago.

WORMS

The majority Of children in coun-
try homes, especially in the poorer
homes, are at some time in their
lives infected with worms.
Where do these worms come
from and how do the children get
them?
Many people believe children get
them by eating green cucumbers,
apples, or raw tomatoes or pota-
toes, or from sour bread or peas
and beans, or red meat. One
grandmother expressed her opinion
thus: Il tell you, I've see worms
and wormy babies all my life, and
Jest believe they form in a child's
insides. They don't come form
anywhere. but form and grow
there This is widely believed.
And another thing equally e.
roneOus is believed by many thous-
ands Of people: That children
have got TO have worms: that they
are somehow inseparably connect
ed in a mysterious way with the
health and even the life of every
child. This causes children TO be
exposed constantly to the sources
of infection, some of which are
rarely suspected by many good peo-
pie.
What are these Sourcesl
IL seems necessary at first 20 say
that mo worm ever grows in
child's intestines unless either the
tiny worm or a worms egg first
gets there somehow from the out
side. Nature has no power 10
create worms out OF any arrange
ment OF tissues in the human body.
But where do these eggs of tiny
worms come from?
4. Many come from the ground
about spots used by people as toll
cts. Hookworms come from this

DANIELS FILES
COURT ANSWER
Explains Why Government Objects
To Laying Of Western Union
Cable Line.

Washington, Nov. 30-It has al
ways been the policy of the Ameri-
can government ito prevent the lay
ing of any cable on the shores OF
the United States which connected
with a foreign country in which the
cable company had a monopoly OF
cable connections" Secretary, Dan
iels says in a statement filed today
in the District of Columbia supreme
court.
The statement is a supplemental
answer to the suit Of the Western
Union Telegraph company which
seeks to enjoin the naval secretary
from interfering with the laying OF
certain short cables over Biscayne
Bay, near Miami, Fla.
Mr.. Daniels says that the pro-
posed cable from Miami to Barba-
does is to be laid for the purpose
of connecting with the system OF
the Western Telegraph company. a
British corporation, which has q
monopoly for interpret cables in
Brazil, to the exclusion of American
companies.
1.-THE telegraph company denies
that the president has the right. in
the absence of statutory authority
to either permit or forbid the land
ing of a cable on our shores, which
connects with foreign territory, but
the right has been exercised evel
since the first cable was laid in the
SOS and permits have always beer
asked, as was done in this case"
