New Bulletin On Smuts Available
For Farmcs

A number of copies of Farmers
Bulletin 939 dealing with the cereal
smuts and method of treating them
to prevent crop injury have been re-
ceived by the Experiment Station at
Lexington for free distribution to
farmers of the State, according to
an announcement. The bulletins
contain details of the method of
treating wheat and other grains to
control loose and sinking smuts
which have caused serious damage
to these crops in Kentucky. Farm
ers who wish to treat their grain
before planting it will find the bulle-
tin helpful in carrying out the pro-
cess, according to w. D.. Valleau,
the station plant pathologist.

Rye Cover Crop Protects Tobacco
Field Fertility

~~. Field Fertility
Nearly one-half million acres of
Kentucky tobacco land, the richest
in the State, will be depleted of
their fertility during the coming
winter unless rye or some other
crop is sown> as soon as the tobacco
crop is removed to protect the soil
during the winter from erosion and
teaching, crops specialists at the
College of Agriculture say. Rye
sown at the rate of one bushel an
acre as soon as the tobacco is re-
moved makes a good protection for
the soil while still better cover
crop may be obtained by adding 20
pounds of vetch seed to each bushel
of rye and sowing this mixture at
the rate of one bushel and 20
pounds an acre. The combination
will make not only soil saver but
also a green manure to plow under
next April for soil improvement.
The tobacco field in general is
prepared and titled as carefully as
the garden, the specialists say.
with the result that little grass or
weeds have an opportunity of grow
ing on them. In the fall of the
year these fields are mellow and
clean and as soon as the tobacco is
removed are smooth surfaces where
fall and winter rains start rivulets
that later grow into gullies which
remove the fertile surface. Losses
of this kind are among the heaviest
ones suffered by farmers of the
State, according to the specialists.

Short Course Means OF Training Fu-
ture Farmer

ture Farmer
While some city cousins and boys
and girls from the farm are return
ing to college for another year of
study many other farm boys are
planning to take the winter courses
which start at the College of Agri-
culture at Lexington, Oct. 81 and
continue until Feb. 25. 1922, in
quiries being received at the college
indicate. The course will be divid-
ed into two terms the first consist
ing of seven weeks before the hOli-
days.
These short courses are becoming
more and more popular with farm
boys as a means of obtaining train
ing during slack seasons of the year
as shown by the fact that last year
more than 80 students were enrolled
in the course. the largest enrolment
ever recorded since the courses were
started. There never was time
when it was so necessary as now for
farmers to have good training for
their work." Dean Thomas p. Coop
er, of the college, said in speaking
of the popularity of the courses.
THE high prices of land, labor, ma
chinery, farm equipment and farm
power make it imperative that the
farmer do his work al the most eff
cient manner. The surest founda-
tion for efficiency is training such
as that given In the short courses.
A number of different subjects
will be taught in tae short course
which may be entered by any resi-
dent OF the State iylo has reached
the age Of II yeas. Since the
courles are essentially practical no
entrance examinations will be re-
quired for entrance and tudents will
be permitted to select those subjects
in which they are most interested
or In which they feel the greatest
need for instruction.
Instruction will be given In
agronomy, animal husbandry, eco
homie entomology. farm economies
and horticulture. Agronomy sub
jects will include soil fertility, soil
physics and management, farm crops
plant diseases, gas engines. gas

Poultry Pests Are Most Serious In
Fall Season

Fail Season
At this season of the year moth
ing retards the development of pull
lets more seriously and reduces the
production of mature hens more
rapidly than lice and mites, accord
ing to poultry specialists at the Col
lege of Agriculture. The body lice
found on poultry can be readily
controlled by rubbing piece of
blue ointment the size of a navy
bean on the skin of the fowls about
an inch below the vent the special
lists say. Care should be taken to
see that the rooster is not overlook
ed for one male bird which retains
these pests can reinfest the entire
flock in a few days.
Sodium fiuoride also may be used
to control the lice if pinch is plac-
ed on the skin under each wing. on
the neck, on the breast, on each
thigh and in the fun below the
vent. The bird should be held up
side down and the material placed
next the skin il it is to accomplish
the desired results. Cleaning the
poultry house and spraying It
thoroughly with five FER cent solu-
ton of crude oil or stock dip will
be helpful in killing the mites that
hide in the crevices and cracks. The
roosts should be painted with full
strength solution early in the morn
ing so that they will be dry by
roosting time.

FOR CHICAGO OPERA
SEASON TO START SUNDAY MORNING
WHEN DIRECTOR GETS TO CHICAGO
Ry sPraKmzH LEWIS.

Chicago, Oct 2s.-Wifh. the arri-
val OF Mary Garden, general direc-
tor. in Chicago tomorrow morning.
the first full season Of the Chicago
opera company with a woman at
its helm VIII be well under way.
Monday Miss Garden goes to Rock
Island. where she will appear in
concert, that being one OF the three
places in which she has chosen to
sing this season. Her appearance
IN Boston last night created sen
sation.
Last season Miss Garden accept
ed the general dictatorship in the
middle Of the season-with the
policy and plans shaped by ner pre-
Tecessor. This season she alone is
responsible for the artistic direc-
ton of the company.
Added To this is the most remark
able transformation Of opera com
pany censorship in the history OF
the operate world. The Chicago
Opera company is passing from pr1-
vate control, as represented by the
Mccormick family, to semi-civlc
organization backed by 500 guar
antors who each pledge themselves
for $1,000 year, to meet posi-
BILE deficits up to $500,000 annually.
The season opens Monday night,
November IA, with revival OF
Sampson and Delilah." Thereaft-
er for ten weeks in Chicago, five
weeks in New York, and eight
weeks on a trans-continental tour
to the Pacific coast operas will be
presented in German, Russian,
French and Italian. Every work
sung in its original language" Is
Miss Gardens announced policy.
That public support is forthcom-
ing for a semi-civic organization is
attested by the remarkable advance
season subscription sales which, to
date, total approximately $235, 900,
with another weeks sale remaining,
as against $177 900 advance sub
scription sale last year.
This enormous total is reached
by 5000 individual subscribers for
season seats as against $500 indi-
YiduaI subscribers last year. Con-
trary to widespread impression, an
analysis of the subscriptions show
dppTOAllHdIely % pei cont VI thN
advance sale to balcony and gallery
opera fans, as against 35 per cent
to orchestra, thereby disproving
the popular fallacy that opera is
only for the rich. The majority of

holders are school teachers, music
Students, wage carriers whose pre-
vious knowledge of music has been
confined to musical instruments in

prize which included among other
things the opportunity to gain a

sway Down East"
Settles Down for
Run at Spencer

Had way Down East" which
will be shown at the Spencer all
next week, been prepared for the
screen by any other director than
D. w. Griffith, it would have been
a rugged production with a tale of
abiding interest, but would have
lacked much of the distinctiveness
that one observes in the picture as
it is now shown. Assuredly there
would have been none of the won
derful effects that are of Griffith
invention and the story itself would
not have been amplified or given
such detail as is now to be observ-
eds In other words, there would
have been lacking the Griffith touch
and it is that which has brought
him to the position he occupies to-
day in the estimation of every per-
son who has ever seen a motion
picture-the genius of the cinema.
Griffith leads. He is the pioneer.
He never rests content. What was
good enough yesterday is discard
ed by him today and he is always
seeking perfection. Way Down
East" consumed nearly a million
feet of film in the making and then
the picture was cut down to a pal
try 1000 feet, later to be reduced
still further in order to provide
compact and impressive story.
When the completed product was
shown on the screen there was
still much to be done in providing
and thematic music.
And all the time he is considering
new Photographic details for fu-
ture work. Long ago he created,
perfected and introduced such in
ventions as the Closeup" the
switch hack" the fade out" the
long short" mist photography"
In recent years he has brought to
attention the beauties that lie in
exquisite tinting, not of the picture
but of the screen during the show
ing of the film.
