Heavy volume of live poultry now

Poultry plants generally have suf-
fieient help TO take care of average
receipts, but any sudden large in
crease in volume would make it diff
ficult to handle. Even marketing is
therefore suggested.
Egg production is about normal
for this season of the year, but, be-
cause Of inferior quality, only a
small proportion of the eggs will
command top prices. Better care
and attention on the farm and more
frequent marketing will result in
higher prices being paid to the pro-

That America is becoming "city

were statements made by Prof. Robt.

KY, but now State Supervisor
of High Schools, with Offices at
Frankfort, in an address delivered
before the alumnea club of the Girls
High School, in Louisville
Professor Green said that until re-
Gently there were four county super
intendents in Kentucky receiving as
little as $500 annually, and offered
this as proof of his assertion that the
real value of schools has not been
appreciated in Kentucky. The speak
er said, however, that he was of the
opinion that the educational outlook
in Kentucky is improving.
