5OP.C. REDUCTION
in TOBACCO CROP
Burnley Growers of Shelby
County to Raise Smaller
Crops and Better To-
bacco.

A careful canvass of the land own
ers of Shelby county, during which
more than 400 farmers were inter-
viewed. shows that the 1921 tobacco
crop to be set out in this county will
duction compared with 1920. In other
words the statistics gathered indicate
that 40 per cent of the crop raised in
1920 will be put out this year.
The survey was made by G.. Muir
rell Middleton, Secretary of the Shell
by county Farmers Bureau, and he
reports the reduction holds good in
every section of the county. In gath
ering the information he made a re-
cord of the number of acres grown in
1920 and the number to be set out this
spring. Alter calling OH more than
four hundred land owners he COM
piled the information and the result
is as given above.
Heretofore estimates as to the pro-
bable crop this year had placed it at
IS to IS per cent of the 1920 crop.
If this reduction is carried out thru
out the entire Burnley growing district
it will mean big curtailment in the
1921 crop and consequent increase
in the price provided the coming crop
is good one. 1t seems to be the
general impression among land own
ers of this county that more money
will be realized from a small crop
properly handled and properly housed
than a much lirger crop grown and
handled as it was during the past

NAMES FUR WEALTH.
Farm Boys and Professional Trappers
Find II Source of Income.

Down fsom the northern Maine
wilderness to the edge of civilization
at Moosehead Lake comes Frank
Capino, Indian guide and hunter, with
furs and pelts to the value of about
So, ZOO as the result of his winters
work and sport. AS he will spend the
next six months guiding fishermen,
campers and hunters from the big
cities, at prices not unfamiliar to
many Bostonians,. il can easily be
reckoned that this enterprising de-
scendant of the gentle Abnakis does
not depend wholly on health dividends
as his reward for wilderness life.
The fur business of Maine does not
offer the opportunities that the Pill
grims found there when they went in
1927 from Plymouth to the banks of
the Kennebec, where Augusta now
stands, and established the trading
post that they maintained there for
more than thirty years. In single
season, 1884, they shipped to Eng
land more than thirty hogsheads of
beaver skins, not to mention other
furs that the Abnaki hunters had
brought to the post from the upper
Kennebec waters. What beavers have
survived. after the unrestricted activi-
ties of trappers for many generations,
are now under the protection of the
law. Many of the larger fur bearing
animals have disappeared and others
are few and protected by law.
But the law does not protect the
bobcats for example. On the contrary,
it encourages their extinction. And so
with many other wild creatures that
have a market value Many boy has
got spending money-and money to
save-in the last few years from the
foxes muskrats, skunks and other les
ser forest jewellers not rated high by
hunters of an earlier generation. And
when man makes a business of it,
as Frank Capino does in that northern
Maine wilderness, which is twice the
size of Massachusetts,, and can clear
up $1,000 from his winter in the
woods, it is clear that the possibilities
of the Main fur business are not
wholly exhausted after 300 years In
cidentally, he is convinced that it is
going to be the greatest fishing season
that Moosehead ever knew.

SCISSORS IN THE KITCHEN
USEFUL FOR MANY THINGS

Mediums sized scissors hanging in a
convenient place in the kitchen are a
valuable help. Here are some of the
purposes for which they will be found
useful For cutting cold meat into
cubes, for cutting celery or green pep
pers into small pieces for pickles or
salads, for shredding cabbage or let
tuce, for cutting up raisins or dates,
for cutting out the center membrane
of grapefruit in preparing it for the
table, for cutting out the woody core
and eyes of fresh pineapple, for trim
ming the rinds from breakfast bacon.
After the sissors are used each time
they should be carefully washed and
dried.

RECIPE FOR APPLE WHIP.

2 cups apple sauce, eggs (whites),
to keep them from burning. Add strip
Cream for serving.
Cook to 8 medium-sized tart APP
Piles until soft in just enough water
to sweeten sufficiently and one-eighth
teaspoon grated nutmeg. Cool Press
the apple sauce through a strainer
and add to it the stiffly beaten whites
of eggs. Beat until light and foamy.
Pile onto saucers and serve with
fresh cream or custard sauce made
of the egg yolks. This sauce may be
prepared by the same method as for
soft custard, emitting the whites of
eggs. Canned fruit, such as peaches,
figs, cherries, or guava may be sub
stituted in the same proportion for
the apples.

THREE CONV1CTS
ESCAPE PRISON
Their Getaway Considered
Most Sensational in History
of State Prison.

Frankfort. Ky, May 25.-Twenty-
| five guards from the state reforma-
tory, Frankfort police and scores OF
| citizens tonight we're securing the
countryside to the west of the Ken
| lucky river here in an effort to round
| up three convicts who escaped from
the prison during driving rain short
| w before noon today. No trace of the
men has been found since they were
seen by boys to enter a woods near
the Louisville pike.
The men are considered by officials
to be desperate characters and should
they succeed in getting arms it was
feared a fight might follow
Charles II. Smith, one of the escap-
ed men, is under life sentence for the
murder of detective named Kenman
at Ashland, and was received at the
prison February IS, 1919. He is said
to have served term in the Mounds
vile, w. Va, penitentiary for the
murder of woman.
X. X. Bradbury and w. L. Jones,
both second term men, were sent to
prison each for robbery. They were
implicated in the same crime and both
were received May 6, 1920.
Escape Sensational One
The escape was one of the most
daring and sensational in the history
of the institution. The men were as
signed to shirt factory in the prison
compound. They seized an auto own
ed by the manager of the factory and
boldly drove up to the compound
gate during heavy rain.
The gateman, thinking the man
ager was in the machine opened it
and allowed them to pass.
The fleeing men, apparently did not
know the town and drove around
the wall of the prison passing the
front door. Here guards saw them and
gave chase. They turned the car into
a blind street and were forced to
abandon it at the top of hill near the
Versailles pike. Fleeing across the
highway and clambering down a steep
hill to the bank of the Kentucky riv-
err the trio seized row boat and pad
died across the river to the stables in
the rear of the governors mansion.
Here they landed and fed across the
capitol grounds to the Louisville pike,
where they were last seen.
Search Continues at Night.
The search for the escaped convicts
continued far into the night.
Shortly after 8 o'clock a farmer
living near the Taylor homestead on
the Louisville pike reported that he
had seen three men who looked like
convicts near the road A posse was
sent to the scene, but up to late
hour had not reported.
Bloodhounds tonight were brought
here from Lexington in an effort to
trail the men 1t was feared however,
that the heavy rain that was falling
when the men escaped and showers
which fell as late as two o'clock this
afternoon had wiped out the scent

ANTHOLOGY OF A
WHEAT CROP

apologies to ]. Fuller Gloom
On our Winter wheat lands
There is no blanket of snow;
Through the long months,
Bare as the bald knobs
High above timber line,
The wheat withers, blasted
Winter killed!
Likewise in the Spring weather,
When the air is like balm,
The stubborn wheat turns
Yellow on the hillsides,
Deathly in the valleys,
Stung by the pea aphis-
Insect pests!
AS the wheat year wanes
The skies are Furnished brass,
Nor cloud nor hint of cloud
Flecks the dry sky;
Dry as the bone is
Bone dry, bone dry
Drouth stricken!
Or on sultry afternoons,
Still as death is,
Terrifying cloud banks,
Corrugated, copper-colored,
Tumbling in frenzy
Open on the wheat fields
Hailed outl
After the nightmare passes,
After the wheat succumbs,
The prudent farmer hastens
To the incoming trains,
Crowded to the roof
With harvest labor
Four thousand hands!
