hentucky burley toDdccO growers
expended approximately $s5, lao, 900
or SO cents pound, in the produc-
ton Of the 236,50o,O00 pounds Of
the light leaf raised in this state in
1920. The 1919 crop cost 26 cents
a pound to produce.
Deposit a Is per cent increase in
acreage in Kentucky this year and a
larger yield Of BurIey in Kentucky
than last year, the amount Of Bur-
ley grown in all states in 1920 is ap-
proximately 33,0OO,0OO pounds less
than in 1919.
The average yield an acre in 1920
was approximately $50 pounds. in
1919 the average was 1850 pounds
an acre.
Approximately 90 per cent Of the
1920 Burley crop is damaged or very
low tobacco.
These facts were ascertained by
the Burley Tobacco Growers Assoc
citation, working with the q. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture and Col
lege Of Agriculture, University Of
Kentucky.
A preliminary report Of the cost
an acre Of the 1920 crop was pre-
pared last week by the Kentucky
Agricultural Experiment Station,
This showed the cost to be approx
imately 1909 an acre, an increase of
seven per cent over 1919, when the
cost pound was &c cents.
III preparing the estimate on the
production Of Burley in this state
in 1920 the government authorities
checked the figures from two
sources. There was a difference of
about 100000 pounds in the esti-
mates, the questionnaires sent out
by the Burley Association members
indicating a 246, 410, 0OO- pound crop
in this state in 1920, and govern
ment statisticians figuring it at
226,5OO,O0O
The latter figure was adopted as
the more nearly correct because a
survey made in local warehouses
disclosed that farmers were unin-
tentionally estimating larger than it
weighed out on the scales, pound
age per acre being about four per
cent.
The estimated production Of Bur-
ley in this state in 1919, government
figures show, was $4,000, 900
pounds.
The 1920 production Of Burley in
all states of the union and in Cam
ada, as estimated by the United
States Department of Agriculture,
follows:
Kentucky, 23e,5OO,OOO pounds.
Ohio, 100000.
West Virginia, 100000.
Indiana, 100000.
All other states, 100000.
Canada, 100000.
Total, 2s7,OOo,000 pounds.
1919 total, 32O,OO0.OOO pounds.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE RAIL.
ROADS

A general railroad strike is being
considered as bare possibility. If
such a thing should occur, through
any dispute over wages or shop condi-
tons, it probably would not be such a
calamity as we are in the habit of
thinking. A few years ago a general
tie-up of the railroad lines would have
meant, not only general paralysis of
the industries of the country, but i'm
mediate suffering and starvation in
the cities. Now the gasoline vehicle
ofers a fair substitute for the rail-
way. There are so many cars and
trucks that just about all of us could
go Joy-riding at the same time. by
crowding little. There would be no
trouble in moving long-distance
freight, perhaps, but most of our local
shipments could be taken care of by
trucks in case of strike. We are not
independent of the RAILROADS.&C. of course.
but we would not be entirely helpless
without them. Down in the Ozarks

The magic of Cecil B. DeMille's

Cecil B. DeMille's name today is the
magnet that draws all classes, rich

tire that presents his screen dramas.
For several years he has had the
unique distinction of producing the

without the aid of a star in the lead
ing role. He has definitely establish
ed the value of a well-balanced cast
and strong story irrespective of the
box Office value of the individual star.
Stars achieve stardom because of
their ability to portray certain char
acters with the maximum power,
charm and naturalness. Believing that
the best possible cast for production
of this calibre could be recruited from
the ranks of stardom, he assembled
what is unquestionably the greatest
aggregation of stellar talent ever
seen in single production. Names
that are alone sufficient to bring box

From the Church News, the official
paper of the West Virginia Diocese of
the Protestant Episcopal church, pub
lished at Clarksburg, the following,
relative to local clergyman, will be
read with interest and great degree
of regret should the call to another
field be accepted; "The Rev. William
Bayle, of Oakland, Maryland, has been
called to become rector of st. Ste
phen's church at Beckley, West Va.
Beckley is strategic point and one of
the most rapidly growing towns of the
State, being in the midst of a large
coal field that is fast being opened up
for development, and the town of
Beckley is also rapidly becoming an

that Mr.. Bayle, with his wide exper-
fence and true missionary zeal, will
see his way clear to: come over and

Oakland on his vacation this week and
it is therefore impossible to learn if
he intends to accept the call or to re-
main as rector of the local church.

Maricopa county will get full face value, accrued interest and premium, as provided in the sales contract, for S5,OO0,OO0 worth of road bonds sold to Graves, Blanchett. Thornburg Ss Co, months ago. An agreement to that end was reached by George Purdy Bull lard, attorney, representing Twohy Brothers, contractors, County Attorney R. E. l..

This agreement was the aftermath of dismissal of injunction proceedings instituted by J. O. Dunbar in the federal court some time ago.
 Partial repudiation of the original contract as signed by the bonding houses for the purchase of the bonds will not reflect to the disadvantage of Maricopa county, the agreement pro- viding that all financial losses will be sustained by Twohy Brothers. MT. Bull lard declared.
 One million dollars of this amount, together with accrued interest and pre- mium. will be delivered to Maricopa county within ten days, the agreement provides. A second payment of S1,000,- 0OO with accrued interest and premium must be paid not later than June L with a third similar payment due not later than Sept. l.
