JAZZ MUSIC, BOOZE

Kansas City.-Jazz music has much
the same effect on young people as

against, /. I. Cammack, superintend-
ent of schools here, asserted in a
speech before one thousand public
school teachers.
THE nation has been fighting
booze long time" Mr.. Cammacl,
said. II am just wondering wheth-
err this jazz isn't going , to have to
be legislated against as well. 1t
seems to me that when il gets into
the blood of some of our young
folks, and | might add older folks.
too. it serves them just as about as
a stiff drink of booze would do.
II think the time has come when
teachers should assume a militant
attitude toward all forms of this de-
basing and degrading music"

Field selection is b tier than that

asons. In the first place, it per-
mits the farmer to select a type of
plant that most nearly me- is his

position of the ar on the stalk and
the type of husk. In the second
place, it permits thu selection of
seed ears from plants that are f. e

The stalk its If is one of the most
important points for consideration
in the selection of seed corn in thu

Interference Punishable As
Felony

Washington, Aug. 20. -Coinci-
dent with indications today that the
Administration has developed no
further plans for handling the rail-
road situation IL the New York con-
ferences fail bill providing re-en-
actment of the wartime measures
against interference with interstate
commerce was introduced by Sena-
tor Sterling of South Dakota, Re-
publican member of the Judiciary
Committee. The measure makes
obstruction of the orderly moving
of commerce felony, punishable
by fine and Imprisonment up to $751;
600 and five years.
1t is understood that the legisla-
tion has the approval of the Ad-
ministration. Mr.. Sterling called
at the White House Monday and
conferred with the President. He
refrained tonight from making any
statement on the Presidents atti-
tude, but expressed his own view
that no law meets the situation the
bilr is aimed at, since the amend
ment' to the Interstate Commerce
Commission act, which obtained
during the war, was repealed as war
legislation. The first section of his
bill contains the essence of that
amendment
In his address to Congress Presi-
dent Harding referred to statutes
forbidding conspiracies to hinder
interstate commerce. He referred
TO the Sherman Antitrust Law,
which is the only existing legisla-
tion through which the Federal
Government can strike at those who
try to tie up the roads.

Farmers Find CulIing Removes
Stacker Hens

During the last few weeks many
Kentucky farmers and poultrymen
have discovered that their flocks
contain considerable number Of
loafer hens that can be culled out
and sent TO market without serious
ly reducing the total number vi
eggs received. according to early re-
ports which are being received al
the College of Agriculture from far
mers who co-operated with the ex-
tension division in having their
flocks culled as demonstrations for
interested persons in their COM
munities. In one case the egg pro-
duction of the flock was increased
despite the fact that one-third Of
the birds in it were removed as
culls in the demonstration. This
was partially due to the fact that
the remaining hens were allowed 20
utilize the feed which originally had
been given to the non-laying hens.
w. l.. Loyd-Smith, Union
county farmer living near Boxville,
reported that his flock of Single
Comb White Leghorns produced as
many eggs during the first week
after seven culls had been removed
as It did the previous week. Dur
ing the week before the culling, the
45 Leghorns produced a total of
202 eggs while the 3S hens that
wore kept produced the same num-
her during the following week. On
the other hand, the seven culls
which were removed produced only
one egg during the week after they
were removed produced only one
egg during the week after they
were culled out and confined by
themselves.
A flock of hens owned by ]. w.
Alexander, an owen county farmer
living near Wheatley, produced %
eggs more during the week after
culling than ii did during the seven
days before culling despite the fact
that one-third of the hens in the
flock were thrown out because they
showed characteristic signs of be-
ing non-producers. The 80 hens in
this flock produced total of 16l
eggs during the week before being
culled while the 60 that were kept
as layers produced a total of 1S3
eggs during the week after culling.
The 30 culls in this case produced
only one egg during the week after
they were removed. Similar re-
suits were obtained by Mrs. f. E.
Brainer, living near Philpot. Da-
riess county. Nine culls removed
from her flock of "a hens produced
only one egg during the week after
,ulling.

Many Hens Are Retired As CuIling
Progresses

Progresses
With the annual fall Poultry Gull
ing campaign in full swing in practi-
cally every section of Kentucky,
thousands of hens are losing their
places in TIT farm hocks of the state,
according to reports being received
daily by the extension division OF
the College of Agriculture from far
mers i'm different counties. Results
being obtained in culling denfonstra-
tions conducted by county agricul-
tural agents and poultry specialists
from the college indicate that prac-
ticllly every flock in the state has
its quota of low-producing hens that
have stopped laying to loaf until
spring.
Paul Harrison, Grant county
farmer living near Mason, whose
flock was cU!led as demonstration,
has reported that 10 hens removed
from his mixed flock of IS produced
only two eggs during the week after
culling. In addition, the egg pro-
duction of The flock in this case was
increased from 1913 eggs during the
week before culling to 225 eggs dur
ing the week Immediately after the
culling. The increased egg produc-
tion was attributed TO the fact that
the As hens remaining in the flock
after culling were allowed to utilize
the feed which originally had been
consumed by the 10 loafers.
Eight culls removed from the
flock of Mrs. S. c. Henderson, who
lives near Paint Lick, Garrard coun-
ty, produced only three eggs during

80 Gents In Soybean Seed Return
$3.50 In Nitrogen

Investments for soybean seed
made this last spring at the rate Of
80 cents an acre are returning Ken
lucky farmers from SO to $3.50
worth of nitrogen an acre in the
bean crop which is now nearing ma.
turity throughout the state, accord
ing to Ralph Kenney, crops exten'
sion specialist at the College of Ag-
riculture. Eighty per cent of this
nitrogen, which is the most expen-
sive plant food element required by
Kentucky soils, will be returned to
the land on many farms by hogging
off the beans and the corn in which
they are growing. In addition, it is
estimated that the beans growing in
the corn will produce $50 pounds
more pork an acre than is obtained
when corn alone is hogged down.
Results being obtained in Carroll
county are said to be typical of
those being reported by farmers in
other sections of the state in show
ing the value of soybeans for soil
improvement. One farmer in that
county, Albert Davis, has soybeans
of the Hollybrook variety growing
in combination with corn that are
estimated to contain $3.50 worth of
nitrogen to the acre. This field of
beans and corn has just reached the
stage at which fattening hogs can
be turned into II. Soybeans grow
ing in another field OF corn on this
same farm were estimated by Coun
ty Agent G. c. Routt to contain
$40 worth of nitrogen an acre.
The same variety of beans grow
ing in a field of Boone CoupIy White
corn on the farm of w. NJ. c, ouch
IN Carroll county have been estimat-
ed to contain S42S worth Of nitro
gen an acre. This same conibina-
ton on the farm of Perry Gaines
has produced nitrogen having an es-
timated value of $500 an acre. The
low value of the nitrogen on this
farm is attributed to a thin stand
and the fact that three-fourths of
the leaves had fallen from the plants
when the estimate was made.
Green beans on representative
area in the various fields were pull
ed and weighed in order to de-
termine the respective yield in each
case. The amount of nitrogen con-
iained in the yield was determined
from the fact that 900 pounds of
beans contain about 6S pounds of
nitrogen. This was valued at 90
cents a pound. Like other legumes, |
the beans took two-thirds of tht
nitrogen they produced from the |
air. In addition TO the nitrogen |
added to the soil by the beans, con-
siderable value is attached TO the
organic matter which will result |
from the decaying bean stalks and
'oots.

H0rs. Work More Costly Than Tia
Of Hired Hand


Hors on Kentucky farms work
SO little during the year that the
cost Of a days work Of a two-horse
team is NOR, than the cost of a
days work done by hired hand, ac-
Cording TO W d. Nichols, head of
the farm economies d partment of
the College of Agriculture. Is spite
G. this fact, the average farmer does
not worry as much about the high
cost Of horse labor as he do about
the high wages paid TO the hired
help on the farm. h. pointed out in
showing how many farmers are ov-
erlooking leak in the managem, Mt
Of their business.
ION an average. X ntucky farm
ers probably get less than 1000
hours Of work out OF each horse in
4 year. This is ! s. than 100 days
of ten hours each. Some farmers
get an average of IS than 10 days
Of work out Of their horses or less
than two and one-half hours day
for each work hors Studies made
81 the state show that the best or
gaEized and managed farms get
tvic. this average and thereby cut
The cost Of their team labor in two.
Turning the work stock out on
pasture with light feed when the
animals are not doing hard work is
one means of reducing the high
cost OF horse labor. Good farmers
strive TO carry work stock through
the late fall and winter as cheaply
as possible on sorghum and corn
fodder and a little grain, saving the
good hay for the time when teams
are working hard in breaking land
and cultivating crops. These same
farmers make il a rule to feed only
enough TO meet actual needs of
teams.
"Other methods Of reducing the
cost OF horse labor might be outlined
as follows:
Keeping large brood mares that
raise mules or draft colts and are
worked during seasons when extra
work stock is required.
Breaking as much ground for
corn and oats as is possible during
the winter and early spring. This
prevents a rush of team work late
in the season when the weather is
hot and the ground hard and dried
out. However. care must he taken
not TO practice winter breaking on
land which is so sloping as to be
subject TO washing.
Hiring extra teams during the
temporary rush periods. This prae-
Itice, when possible. is much cheaper
ban paying the expenses of an idle
pam throughout most OF the year"
