EACH DISTRICT IS SEPARATE
UNIT IN TOBACCO POOL
Green River Counties Have Al
ready Gone Over Top and
Organization Assured.

Greensboro, Oct. 2-.-Because of
some Misunderstanding on the part
of the farmers in this, the Green
River tobacco district, as to the re-
qGirements before the organization
of the pool to handle the Green Riv-
er crop County Chairman Haycraft
was asked for more detailed inform
alton than has previously been pub
.lished.
He pointed out that the dark to-
bacco is in four district types and
that each of these types is to be re-
garded as unit. They are Dark
Fired, One Sucker, Green River and
Stemming. If necessary two-thirds
acreage of any one type is not Sc
cured, that failure will in no wise
prevent the perfecting of the organi-
cation for the other types.
Mr.. Haycraft stated yesterday
that the necessary acreage to insure
the organization of the pool in the
Green River district has already
been secured and that the organiza-
ton would be perfected Immediate
ly except for the fact that in the
entire organization the other dis
tricts have not completed the mini
nam quota and that until it is def
initely learned what success will at
tend the efforts in the other three
districts, it can not be definitely de-
termined to what representation the
Green River district will be entitled
in the governing board of twenty
five directors.
Should any one of the districts
fail to secure the acreage necessary
for it to become part of the pool,
that failure will result in each of the
other three districts having an in
creased membership on the board of
directors.
1t is stated that the minimum in
the Green district has been passed
and that both the Dark Fired and
One Sucker people are nearing their
goal and that only the Stemming
district is really tagging behind. 1t
is regarded as almost certain that
three of the districts will qualify
within the time set and it is very
possible that all four will do SO.

% Porkcrs Gain 1,O30 Pounds In
30-Day Trial

Market hogs can be fed for as
short a time as a month and still
make money for their owners, ac-
cording to results obtained by w. F..
Wilson, Pulaski county farmer
living near Nancy, who has just
completed a hog feeding demOnstra-
ton which he carried out in co
operation with County Agent w. C..
Wilson and swine specialists of the
College of Agriculture. Despite the
fact that they were fed for only 80
days, the 2S purebred hampshire
hogs used in the demonstration
made a profit of S29,25. This re-
turn of more than a dollar an ami
NAL is said to be exceptionally good
in view of the short feeding period.
During the 3O-day feedinG leriod,
the 2S hogs made total gain of l.
O30 pounds, or 36.S pounds each,
which was an average daily gain of
1.22 pounds for each animal. They
weighed 9G.2 pounds each at the be
ginning of the demonstration and
1913 opunds each AT the end OF the
80 days. Seven and one-half hours
Of labor valued at 10 cents an hour
we're required to take care of the
animals during the feeding period.
They were sold for $242.55.
In getting the 1000 pounds of
gain on his hogs, Mr.. Wilson fed 63
bushels of corn. 10 pounus OF tank
age and 500 pounds Of skimmilk.
The pigs also had the run OF good
red and sweet clover pasture. \
to.aI Of 249.S pounds OF corn. or
6.9t bushels; l45.S pounds of skim
milk or II gallons, and ~ pounds
OF tankare were used. These feeds
cost S5.34 when corn was valued at
IS cents a bushel skimmilk at 32
cents q 100 pounds aud tankase at
81 hundred pounds. The corn was
fed i'm a self feeder but the tankage
and skimmilk We're hand fed the
former being allowed only twice a
week. The total cost for each 100
pounds OF gain was sG.26. In view
Of the fact that his pigs had the run
of good pasture. Mr.. Wilson proba-
bly, would have obtained cheaper
gains by feeding either the skimmilk

Fayctte Boy Starts Uncle In Pure
bred Hog Business

A good example of how junior ag-
ricultural club work gets adult far
mers, as well as country boys, inter-
ested in purebred livestock and bet
ter methods of doing things on the
farm is to be found in the expert
ences of Clifton Ware, an 1l-year
old Fayette county boy, who IS one
of the charter members of pig club
organized in the spring of 1921 by
County Agent w. r. Gabbert and
the extension division of the College
of Agriculture. The pig bought for
$50 from Tom Powers, Crittenden,
by Clifton at the time he became a
member of the club already has re-
turned him $40 and in addition he
has the original gilt, four boars and
one SOW. His uncle, Lester Darna-
by, with whom he lives, who is now
an enthusiastic and successful pure
bred hog raiser says, "If it hadn't
been for Clifton, | never would have
thought of being Poland China
Breeder"
The business of raising purebred
pigs began in earnest for young
Ware this last spring when his pig
farrowed nine little ones. Three of
the gifts from the litter were sold
to other club members for SIS each
while one of the boars was sold for
$25 TO head a Poland China herd
near Jackson, Ga. With the mother
SOW and four bears and one gilt
from her first litter remaining, Cliff
ton added another gilt costing SIS
to his herd and at the present time
has the foundation for q good start
in the purebred hog business. That
he already is meeting with success
in his work Is shown by the fact
that he has won cash prizes on his
pigs for the last two seasons at the
Bluegrass Fair.
Clifton's uncle. Mr.. Darnaby, be-
came so interested In the work of
his nephew that he decided to enter
the Poland China business. Soon
after Clifton made his start, Mr..
Darnaby purchased five pigs and at
the present time has herd OF 81
hogs after selling eleven. His ex-
periences so far with purebreds have
made him enthusiastic about the
way they respond to good feed and
care by putting on weight. Practi-
cally all the hogs In his herd carry

Grain Fed Cattle Paying Farmer
More Than Feeders

More Than Feeders
Grain fed cattle at the present
time are selling at prices well above
those being paid for feeder steers,
according to Wayland Rhoads, beef
cattle specialist of the College of
Agriculture. This is good guide
for cattle men and indicates that it
may be more profitable to feed steers
out or shocked corn for about a
month or six weeks longer while
they are still on grass instead of
letting them gain what they can on
grass alone and then selling them
as feeders. On the other hand, the
farmer who is going to keep his
steers and sell them as fat cattle
this winter must be on guard as
soon as the first freezes come and
pastures get short to prevent cost
ly shrinks in his cattle. Feeding
should start as soon as possible af-
ter the first heavy freezes of the
year.
A ration for a feeding period of
from 100 to 140 days that has given
good gains in many feed lots of the
state as well as on the college farm
is made of cottonseed meal, broken
ear corn, silage and all the hay or
straw that the steers will clean up.
A daily feed of this ration for each
1000 pounds of live weight should
average about three pounds of the
cottonseed meal, 4 5 pounds of the
silage and 10 pounds of corn. How
ever, the amount fed at the begin
ming OF the feeding period is less
than this and is gradually increased
until the animals are getting even
more than this amount near the end
of the period. In long feeding
period of more than 100 days, the
corn is left out of the ration for the
first 60 days.
a good ration for farmers to feed
who have no silage and who wish to
feed for shorter period is made of
cottonseed meal, clover hay, broken
ear corn and fodder or straw. A
daily feed of this ration for each l.
000 pounds of live weight should
average about two pounds of cotton
seed meal, six pounds of clover hay
and II pounds of corn with all the
fodder or straw that the steers can
clean up. These. amounts are
reached by gradually increasing the
feed. If full feed of clover hay is
fed with corn, good gains will be
made without the cottonseed meal.
Cheap gains can be made by feeding
cottonseed meal at the average rate
of about three pounds a day for each
1000 pounds of live steer and allow
ing a full feed of shock corn.

TURAI PAPERS AND r.
Best Method For Curing Meat Will
BE Explained


Best methods for the home curing
of meats will be explained to farm
ers in many Kentucky counties dur
ing the coming winter by means of
meetings and demonstrations to be
held by the extension division of the
College of Agriculture, according to
an announcement by Grady Sellards,
swine specialist of the college, who
will have charge of the work. The
meetings, which already have been
started and which will continue un-
til the first of February of next year,
will be confined to the eastern and
western parts of the state. Curing
by use of salt and sorghum mo-
lasses. which is one of the Oldest and
most successful methods known, will
be advocated through the meetings.
At the present time, almost two
thirds of the farmers in the state
cure their meat by the use of salt
alone.
The method which will he advo-
Gated already has been tested out
and found successful by a number of
farmers. Twenty farmers in Law
renee, Boyd and Floyd counties last
year cured their meat by the sor-
ghum molasses method while more
than 40 farmers in Marshall county
found the same method highly sue
cessful when they tried it out last
year.
Some of the points which Mr.. Sell
lards will stress in the meetings are:
Pc sure that the carcass is
thoroughly cooled out as animal
heat promotes rapid spelling. q
Trim hams, shoulders and bacon
neatly. Fat edges do not make
GOOD cured product. They should be
rendered into lard or made into sau-
sage. 3.-Put a heavy layer of salt
on each layer of meat. or bury the
meat in salt, as il is being packed III
q large churn or oak barrel r.
Two days for each pound are re-
CURED for a single piece to cure.
That is, a 10-pound ham should cure
20 days. 4 curing day is any one
in which the temperature is above
freezing. j.-After the meat is re-
moved from the salt, brush of the
crusty layer. wash in luke warm
water. hang up and let drip for II
hours. 6.-Smoke with hard wood,
hickory preferred, for about six days
or until the meat is an amber color.
Apply warm sorghum molasses
to meat until all pores are filled.
S.--Let hang several days before
making second application of mo-
lasses. Wrap with heavy paper,
then with muslin cloth. Make insect
proof. 10.-Hang in dark, dry place
with hook joints of hams down.

Autobiography
I was born in 1905 in the small vii
lage in Japan which is located on the
foot hills Of the famous VOLCANOES,
Fujiyomo and Hakoneyama in the
north and east. Within a half mile
south is a large city, Numaza, which
is noted for the bathing beach.
I was raised by my mother until
twelve years of age in this village and
helped mother in raising the silk
worms and running a little grocery
store.
It was the year of 1917, March %,
that l left the soil of Japan and sailed
on a large ocean liner to meet my
father in United States. The beauti-
full Smith building in Seattle was first
in sight after the eighteen days of
stormy voyage. I was seasick for
nearly two weeks after l left Japan. 1
was surprised in seeing beautiful
American buildings although I had
seen many American cities on post
cards. The cities were prettier than
on the cards.

l stepped on the American soil on
the 9th of April and got my first au-
tomobile ride from the dock to the
hotel. We spent a whole week i'll
wherever l went.
Seattle and everything was new
l came to Glasgow THE 10Th Of
April. That very evening Mr.. P.
Volnholt, who was owner of the Hall
Drug store, took me to Mrs. North's
boarding house to dine with him.
There were we'll dressed ladies and
gentlemen there. Mr.. P. Volnholt an
nounced to them that my name was
going to be Frank. I did not under
stand what he said but l found it out
afterwards. The cold ham and salads
and other rich foods were passed
around the table but not one thing
suited me.
In the morning of the 22d of April
my father told me to start in school.
I said to myself, GLOW am I going to
get along? I can't speak a bit of
English" But I made up my mind
that l would try. At first I couldn't
do anything except guess what the
teacher was saying. The Arithmetic
was the only subject I could under
stand because the figures were the
same as Japanese.
My father left me here two years
ago but I did not feel lonesome be-
cause of the warm kindness of Ameri-
can people.
