TOBACCO CROP CUT

Fayette County Tobacco Crop Is Re.

Agent Says.

Lexington, KY, April 2S. - The 1921
tobacco crop has been cut to about rs
per cent Of last seasons acreage, ac-
cording to an estimate made today by
County Agent w. R. Gabbert, who de-
clared that the curtailment should
have been not less than so per cent.
and that, while no speculation could
be made with any degree of certainty
on market prices, 1t is likely prices
again will be unsatisfactory because
Of over-production.
There IS no way that better prices
may be obtained save by curtailment
Of production and better quality of
leaf" he said, "and the curtailment
should be systematic over period of
years long enough to permit of getting
rid OF. the surplus that manufacturers
now have on hand about a three
year supply, l believe"

this county where there is an indica-

so what the outcome will be ! can't
say at present. doubt whether there
will be any serious trouble this year,
and believe that the weather will be
responsible for w1ldfire or rust.
"The germ Is said to be carried in
the seeds and we therefore look for it
in the seed-beds. 1t is hard to deter
mine whether the slight yellowing of
the more advanced plants is due to
disease or to the two freezes which
have done considerable injury. !
would advise the growers to be partic-
ularly cautious and not to use plants
from the infected areas. The beds that
were sown earliest are the ones that
are changing color slightly, and when
we find water-soaked spots under

lieve that there is trouble" he de-
clared.

about 1t yet, but do not believe that
the situation is serious enough for

REYNOLDS IN HEALTH JOB
Movement Starts to Have Former
Popular Health Officer Assigned to
Mason County To Take Over Work

1t became known today that those
who are most interested in the Health
work in Maysville and Mason county
are making an effort to have the State
Board of Health transfer DR.. j. s.
Locke, who is now Secretary Of the
Kentucky tuberculosis Association, to
Maysville to succeed DR.. B. f. Renolds,
who has resigned as Health officer Of
the county.
DR.. Locke is quite popular in Mays
vile. He was at the heard Of the
health department Of the county dur
ing the influenza epidemic and the
work of his department in those try
ing times did more to fix itself firmly
In the hearts of the people Of this
community than anything that has
ever been done.
DR.. Locke and his family have made
Maysville their home since he first
became head of the local headth de-
partment and the have many per-
sonal friends here who hope that both
he and the State Health Department
may reach some agreement whereby
he will again become the active head
Of our county health work.

the following most interesting letter:
Albuquerque, New Mex, April 23.
Dear Sir: Well, Mr.. Mathews,
New Mexico has wonderful climate,
the atmosphere is so clear one can
see for miles. You can see the noun
tains so plain they seem to be only
few hundred yards away, it is thirteen
miles to them; that is about all you
see here. The ground is sand and
gravel. You can travel for miles in
this country and not see tree or a
spear Of grass. In town there are
some shade trees and grass is some
thing that very few people have out
here. Was talking to a man the other
day, he said he paid out $1,000 to get
bluegrass in his front yard of about
300 square feet told him good things
come high and most generally came
from old Kentucky.
"This town is sure building fast.
There are over $50 new buildings un-
der construction now and they say
the busy time has not started yet.
"The majority of the people here,
out on the highlands, are invalids.
IT. BIS they call them here. You can
see hundreds of them out in chairs,
swings and cots getting the good sun
shine and pure aid.
"The days are warm and always a
good breeze; the nights are cool with
sometimes q sand storm. have seen
quite few Indians; several live here
in town. Eighty-five per cent of the
city are people from all parts of the
United States who have come here
health seekers-found health here and
wont leave. There are very few Mex
leans in business here. principally
T. BIS have the most Of the string In
that line and the Mexicans do all the
labor.
1--WE all arrived O. K, but very tired
after seeing some wonderful sights
and riding on the train for three days
and two nights we sure enjoyed a
stop. We have bought us home, sc
guess we will stay here for a while
Jeane is improving fine and says this
is a wonderful climate.

REFUSE TO SURRENDER RELIC
Alan Offer Lives in Defense
of Stone Cow.

The famous stone cow of Alan, a
little town in the Haute GarOnne,
France, is again the center of a fight
between the peasants of the village
and the Ministry des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Twice the ministry has sold
the COW, which dates back to the fif-
teenth century, and each time the
villagers have fought with pitchfOrks
and clubs all attempts to remove it
from the front Of the Episcopal pal
ace.
After the war a Paris antique deal
er, knowing the history of the stone
COW, persuaded the Ministry des
Beaux Arts to sell it to him. Once be-
fore they sold the COW, but all the
gendarmes that they could center on
Alan failed to get the monument. The
purchaser asserts that he will remove
it and place it in front of Partisan
mansion. The peasants of Alan have
again armed, and this time with mod
ern weapons for little of the old vii
lage is left from the shells of the Ger
mans, and they intend to protect their
relic. There is little left Of the Epis-
copal palace, before which the COW
stands, but not a shell hit the COW
during the war.

Sell Manv Door Locks,

The crime wave is resulting in much
new business for the hardware store
man these days. Padlocks, heavy
chains and burglar alarm devices are
being sold like hot cakes, and persons
who never before thought to lock
their doors are now taking double
measures against intruders.
Until a few months ago." said a
hardware man, 1--WE sold door chains
only occasionally. Now. we can't sup
ply the demand. New Workers, as a
rule, are careless, but l think that the
present activity of the crooks will
teach them a lesson. My advice to
persons living in apartments Is to
keep their doors well chained. Pro
fessional crooks will get into almost
any place, but extra precautions on
hall doors will keep the sneak thief
out."-New York Sun.
