by beer clubs in their respective

Boyle, Lincoln, Warren, Washing

counties are the first ones to report
that they will form clubs under the
new plan, reports having been receiv-
ed from county agents in these coun-

mately $6,000.000 worth of plant
food is removed from Kentucky farms
when the 500. 600. 900 pounds of to-
bacco, which the State produces as
an average annual crop, is placed on

bly, one reason for the exhausted
soils and low average crop yields in
many sections OF the State. Further
destruction OF the States soil fertil-
|ity without considerable expense for
commercial fertilizers can be pre-
vented largely by careful use of the
tobacco stalks which should be scat
tered over the fields, the specialist
declares.

an acre, contains 500 worth of nj

If the stalks were not returned.
