Col. Smith Brookhart, of Washing

been active in politics in his section
for many years. He was strong
supporter of Cummins in the pro-

that such an increase would require

However, the board found that II

KENTUCKY CAN GROW MORE
WHEAT THAN EVER

According 10 Government reports,
the 1920 wheat crop in Kentucky
was only about half as large as
either the 1913 or 1919 crop, but
this fact should not discourage farm
ers in the growing of wheat. If We
apply ourselves to proper agricultur-
al methads, kentucky will grow as
much or more wheat than ever.
No doubt, some people think that
Kentucky should go out of the wheat
growing business, but we might as
well say that Kentucky should quit
growing tobacco.
Kentucky always will and always
should grow tobacco. Kentucky al
ways will and always should grow
winter wheat 1t will be mistake
to think of cutting out either crop
because both play an important part
in the agricultural prosperity Of the
State.
Undoubtedly the season lad much
to do with the reduced yield Of
wheat this year. Possibly it was
more to blame than the sell, but it
must be admitted that wheat grow
ing has been much neglected Of late.
During the war the abnormal de-
mand fer tobacco sent Up the price
and kept it up and it was natural
that we should grow as much to-
bacco as possible. On thousands of
farms the best ground was planted
to tobacco, and wheat was planted
on the poorer ground and given
only secondary attention.
But now the war is ever and the
relative difference between the prices
of wheat and tobacco will soon dis
appear We must get back to nor
lmal agricultural basis. We mnGt not
forget that wheat is one Of the sta
Die crops CT Kentucky. 1t is essen
tial to The fullest prosperity of the
State, even as tobacco and corn and
other products are essential.
1t is time, right now, for us tn
think of wheat and get ready for
next year Tobacco ground is splen-
did ground for wheat and next year
may be the best wheat year Ken
lucky ever had More attention TO
the proper lining and fertilizing of
the soil will help to make it so.

Babson, of the old chap who brush

4 He said, mot because it is good

Sounds foolish, but it is based on
a fundamental principle, just the
came.
The bitterest pills usually do us
the most good-the things We hate
10 do are usually the best for us.
You can never get anywhere on the
track, in the business world, or any
where else by only jumping the low

GAS AND THE GAS-MAN

Gas-nIaking oils that for twenty Or
more years have been procurable al
prices rams cling from two and one
half certs to five cents per gallon
have shot UP to fifteen and twenty
cents per gallon. The gas manufac
turerS who are tied to municipal
contracts are trying to find way
out of their tragic dilemma. They
recognize that in their competition
with the automotive industry that
they are out-Gistanced. AS a result
several gas companies throughout
the country, that were unable tt
bear their new burdens, have been
compelled to suspend operations.
The gas industry evidently cannot
pay the new costs for fuel, and al
the same time continue the old rates
The conditions means that the gas
companies must have higher fares
just the same as necessity has i'm
posed in dealing with conditions re-
garding railroads, street Car lines
electric light plants, and other pub
lie utilities.
