TOBACCO CROP LIKELY TO BE
SHORT

The intense heat and long drouth
has cut down very materially esti-
mates of the tobacco crop for the
year. In some counties the yield
will not be much over a fourth and
in others fifth of the yield of
1920. The success of the hurley
growers in organizing under the
Saplro plan and the cutting out of
so much of the yield by the weather,
in addition to the reduction in
acreage which almost every tobacco
grower made at the beginning of the
season, would indicate to the average
observer that prices for hurley to-
bacco this year would be considerab-
ly above those of last year.
1t has been a hard year for the
farmer generally. With high-priced
land producing low-priced products,
many have felt the sting of financial
loss, but if the rains come soon and
are general, and if improved demand
abroad ends, as it is bound to, in a
revival in business, the farmer will
yet come into his own.
The Kentucky corn crop will be
large. While there will be no fruit,
the yield of other crops will be
larger, always providing there is
rain, and the farmer may comfort
himself with the thought that cit
might have been worse" With his
forces organized, he can at least de-
mand and obtain fair price for his
tobacco and there seems no little
doubt that he will do so.

JUDGE SAYS AUTO LAWS DE
FECTIVE

+ The decision of Judge Fields, of
Louisville, that there is no means Of
putting a speeder in Jail, because
the new automobile law, which dis
places preceding ones, does not carry
Jail sentence, discovers defect in
the statute.
1t is we'll known that fining speed
ers does not deter rich motorists from
violating the speed laws. When fines
alone are to be feared the class own
ing the most powerful and the most
dangerous cars may drive at speed
dangerous to traffic, without fear Of
consequences.
1t is conceded that if there is a
means of putting down reckless driv-
ing it is by rigid enforcement ot
speed laws carrying Jail sentences
1t is within the power of the next
Legislature to amend the present law
so that speeders may be sent to jail
and such amendment should be
adopted.

CLIFFORD PINCHOT CARRIES ON

'The United States must prepare
to cultivate it's own timber, or even
tually go without lumber. We can
not depend on other countries for
timber, because the shortage is
worldwide. Even if all of Canada's
timber were available to us, it would
not meet our needs for more than
twenty years."
These words by Clifford Pinchot,
consistent fighter for a real forest
policy, before the Forest Policy Com
mittee of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, in New York the other
day, are food for the thoughtful.
The significance of this state
ment is not concerned alone with
the lumber shortage, housing prob
lens, etc.
One of the items of consumption
of timber, perhaps the most devastat-
ing, represents pure waste, and is
growing at the rate of 100 per cent.
year.
The use of paper cartons and con-
tanners for food and drugs, takes
from our supply of timber three
I times the wood pulp required for the
newspapers.
And the average large newspaper
requires the timber from rs to 80
acres for each days edition.
Are we to continue to pay ridicu-
lousy high prices for food in the
pretty paper packages, and pay con-
stantly rising rentals?
Or are we, like the common sense
Americans we used to be, going ,o
buy our food in bulk, and release
the wood for some of the 100000
houses desperately needed in this
country?

A TOUGH PROPOSITION

Getting out a newspaper or month
ly publication is no picnic If we
print jokes, folks say we the silly
if we don't they say they are too Sc
rious If we publish original mat
ter they say we lack variety-if we
publish things from other papers,
they say we are too lazy to write.
If we don't go to church we are
heathens-if we do we are hypo-
critics. If we stay at the Office we
ought to be out hustling for news
if we hustle for news we are not at
tending to business at the Office. If
we wear old clothes we are sloven-
if we wear new clothes they are not
paid for. What the thunderation
is poor editor to do anyhow?
