WEBSTER CiILLS FAIL TO
PRODUCE A SINGLE EGG

Thirteen hens in the flock of 35
Barred Plymouth Rocks owned by
Mrs. j. X. Bridges, Kenton county,
ran true to form and failed to pro-
duce an egg during the week follow
ing their removal from the flock as
culls, according to a report which
she has just made on demonstra-
ton conducted on her hens by the
poultrymen from the College of Ag-
riculture. The week previous to the
demonstration the 35 hens produced
a total of Al eggs, while the % birds
which were retained as layers, pro-
duced a total of so eggs during the
seven days following the demonstra-
ton. AS result of the demonstra-
ton a number of farmers in that vi
entity are expected to Gull their
flocks in order to remove the hens
that have stopped laying to loaf
until spring.

H0GGING DOWN CORN is
PROFITABLE BUSINESS

With indications pointing toward
low price for corn and fair price
for hogs during the coming fall,
Kentucky farmers can market their
grain and produce pork in no bet
ter way than by turning hogs into
their corn fields 10 hog off the
crop, according to swine specialists
at the Kentucky Agricultural Exper-
iment Station. This method of fat
tening swine involves less labor in
feeding and harvesting and is there
fore more economical and in addi-
ton results in the greatest returns
from manure and crop residues. The
hogs are also kept in more healthy
environment and should make more
rapid gains when prepared for the
market in this manner
Experiments conducted by the
station show that tankage fed in a
self feeder as a supplement to corn
made the best combination for hog
ging off purposes. BY this method Of
feeding the animals were kept heal
thier and were ready for the market
earlier than those fed by the other
methods. The corn and tankage pro-
duced an aperage daily gain of 1.475
pounds of pork on the animals
which received it.
Corn and soybeans grown to
eether and hogged off also made a
good combination, this system of
feeding resulting in an average daily
gain of little more than one pound
of pork on all animals in the lot.
The six year average obtained by
the station in hogging down soy
beans with an allowance of two and
one-half per cent of the body weight
of the hogs in corn daily resulted
in an average production of 6Sl
pounds of pork an acre with net
profit of 1887 an acre. Corn alone
when hogged off produced an aver
age daily gain of a little more than
three fourths of pound of pork
Results obtained in the experiment
indicate that it is best to use hogs
weighing about 100 pounds in hog
ging off fields. If the animals are
smaller than this they are unable to
get the corn down, while larger an
imals do not make as economical
gains. From general observations,
made in the experiments it pays to
start hogging down corn and soy
beans about the time the beans are
in the dough stage. putting enough
animals in the field to clean up the
crop in about 35 or 40 days. When
corn alone is hogged down the ami
mails should be turned into the field
as soon as the grain has passed the
glazed stage.

A Long Face Never.
Earned a Penny

And a crouch never helped a hu-
man being. You can afford smile,
even if you do not feel like it. A
smile does not cost you anything,
vet it has a business value. The
chap who ducks up smiling when
everybody is pulling long faces is
the chap you want to do business
with.
The crouch only begets grouches
and grouchers. Look out you are
not infected by the crouch. His
poison is more dangerous than boil

Smile when you mean it, and smile
when you don't, and keep right on,
with cheerful mug. 1t is good
business. 1t helps your digestion.

CHILDREN FIRST!

Directors of the Louisville Board
of Trade cannot be too highly COM
mended for their action taken on
Wednesday in unanimously adopting
resolutions in protest against eff
forts by politicians to defeat the
proposed constitutional amendments
intended to divorce Kentucky schools
from Kentucky politics.
These proposed amendments mean
simply that the intelligence and the
conscience of Kentucky realize that
the child is, as educators of the
country well understand, "the ward
of the state" and that this ward
shall be diligently protected in all
rights and in all privileges guar
anteed by law and sanctioned by
enlightened public opinion.
Within the last forty years every
forward looking country has come
to recognize that "the wealth of a

tie, in gold or humber, in manufac-
lures or agriculture, but rather in
the people who inhabit it and the
more especially in its young people.
Kentucky's riches are neither few
in number nor scant in variety. The
States most precious possession is
its youth, its children. The mind
and heart of Kentucky are awake to
the fact that these children must
have their chance in life; must have
the best chance that money and tai
ent can command; that each child in
Kentucky OF whatever race, creed
or section shall have the best pos
sible chance to learn not only how
to make a living, but also how to live,
and that the opportunity for sound
edudcaton shall not be denied the
humblest of Kentucky's children.
This is Kentuckv's will. The Lou

the effort that is now making in
certain circles to defeat this high
resolution of the people of the South
and has promptly ranged itself on
the right side Of the fight. if there

Favorable reports continue to
come in 1.-THE offices of the Burley
Tobacco Growers COOPERATIVE As
ISOLATION, Lexington, in regard to
the progress Of the campaign to
sign up rs per cent Of the tobacco
crop Of the Burley district under
the new marketing plan proposed by
the association. A contributing fac
tor in the success ofthe new organ
ization is the low price of tobacco
last year and another is the low
price being paid on the South Car
DINA and North Carolina markets
this year.
Heretofore the price of Southern
tobacco has been higher than that Of
Burnley This year, according to Of
ficial reports from North and South
Carolina, published in the Western
Tobacco Journal, of Cincinnati, and
other trade papers, South Carolina
tobacco is averaging but small
fraction over 8 cents a pound and
North Carolina leaf but little over 7
cents pound. less than third Of
prices paid for tobacco in July last
wear. These facts have had ten
dency TO awaken the hurley grower
to the seriousness of his situation,
since there is no reason apparent for
believing that the manufacturers will
run their business this year. in diff
ferent way from previous years, and
if that proves to be true, the price
Of hurley tobacco will not reach even
last wears figure.
Recent developments in the mat
ter of financing the proposed mar
keting association included the de.
clarati0n in favor of the plan by
the Kentucky Bankers Association,
the statement of the federal reserve
board that bank members of the fed
eral reserve system would have the
backing of the federal reserve banks
IN the handling of tobacco ware
house receipts, and the offer of aid
from the War Finance Corporation
and financial institutions operating
under its direction.
Judge Robert w. Bingham, Lous-
Vile, who has financed the prelim-
mary organization of the growers. a
few DAYS ago urged that the organ
izaticn be completed immediately, so
that it might share in the financing
plans of the War Finance Corpora
ton, which has a fund of one bill
lion dollars in its hands to finance
agricultural enterprises.
Following an address by J. Camp
bell Cantrill at Maysville Tuesday,
154, 900 pounds of tobacco was con-
tracted to the Burley Tobacco Grow
ers' COOPERATIVE Marketing Asso-
citation. Chairman Stanley Reed, of
Mason county, said the reason for
this comparatively small amount was
that it happened that most of the
growers in the audience had already
signed the contract.
james N. Kehoe, Maysville's lead
ing citizen, banker and tobacco
grower himself, exerts n wide in
fluence in Mason, and it is likely
that county will pool its quota soon
after the success of the movement
in Central Kentucky counties is as
sured. which is expected to he by the
end Of the present week. The letter
of judge Bingham urging immediate
action so as to profit bv the financ-
ing plans of the War Finance Cor
noration, also is having a good eff
