VIOLENCE AND ACCIDENTS
KILL MORE THAN DISEASES

More persons came to their death
in 1921 in Kentuck by violence and
in accidents than were carried off by
any diseases except pneumonia and
tuberculosis, it is shown by figures
made public at Louisville yesterday
by the bureau of vital statistics of
the State Board of Health. Violent
and accidental deaths were 1889, ac-
cording to the figures, while deaths
from tuberculosis were 3,135, and
pneumonia was responsible for 2.031
Total deaths from accidental rea-
sons were 1,424, the largest single
item, according to ]. F. Blackerby,
director of the bureau, being burns
of various kinds, which were respon-
sible for 1856 deaths. Railroad acci-
dents occasioned the next largest
number of fatalities, being RESPONSE
BILE for 140 deaths, and then in order
come mine and quarry accidents, 1873
deaths; automobile accidents, SO
deaths, and accidental poisoning, Sc
deaths.
OF the 375 deaths by violence, 173
we're suicides and 202 homicides. In
connection with these, Mr.. Blackerby
pointed out, referring to the need of
more stringest legislation against the
carrying of firearms, that over half of
thes uicides were by means of some
kind of firearms, and that in the case
of the homicides firearms were used
in 80 per cent of the murders.

soYREANs AND CORN GROWERS
STUDY SEED SAVING METHODS

Now that corn and soybeans are
maturing in all parts of the state
many farmers who have the two
crops growing together are wonder.
ing how they can harvest enough
bean seed to plant soys in all their
corn next year. Pulling a half ton
or more of beans and stalks, storing
them in the barn for a while and
then later failing them out is per-
haps the best method of solving this
problem, sccording to Ralph Kenney,
soils and crops specialist of the Col
lege of Agriculture.
"A half ton of beans and stalks can
be pulled with little difficulty and
thrown into a wagon bed driven
through the corn field. Leaving the
stalks and the beans in the barn un-
til late winter before the seeds are
failed out is a first-class method of
storing them since they are kept
loose and dry. If the beans are
threshed Immediately after being
pulled, they are apt to be ruined if
they become damp afterwards or are
damp when threshed.
Commercial seed growers usually
have one and half tons Of soybean
straw from a crop tha. yields twenty
bushels of seed an scre. Since this
IS the case, a half ton of good dry
bean stalks and pods can he erpected
to yield five or sir bushels of good,
bright seed. The beans do not crack
to a serious extent when failed and
are not molested by rats and mice
when stored in piles"

Produce Review

Lack of rain and dry pastures
throughout producing sections have
caused lighter deliveries of cream
during the week, and higher prices
are being paid for butterfat and but
ter.
Quality of butter manufactured
could be improved If deliveries OF
cream we're more frequent-at least
three times weekly during the hot
weather-and il more attnetion were
given by producers to care and han
ding on the farm.
1t is important that cream, to
bring top prices, be clean. only
slightly sour, and separated to show
about 35 per cent butterfat. Warm
cream should never be mixed with
cold cream.
Higher temperature throughout the
producing sections have affected the
quality of egs marketed. Fine, fresh
eggs have advanced in price, but me
dium and poor stock is draggy. Dur
ing warm weather eggs should be
gathered daily, kept in a cool place
and marketed frequently.
The movement of poultry has been
above the demand for current use,
causing some decline in the market
A large amount of poultry remains to
be sold and even marketing is sug.
gested, as poultry plants are now
generally in position to handle nor
NAL receipts. Buyers are paying
lower prices for Leghorn chickens
and fowl.

HUNTINGTON BANK HEAD
SIGNS BuRLEV coNTRAc

Contracts of tobacco growers to
the number Of 1,430 were received al
the offices OF the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association the
past week. including that c. H. Har-
rison. president of the Twentieth
Street Bank Of Huntington. w. Va.
owner of two farms in that state, who
signed up eight acres OF tobacco to
the association.
Two hundred and ninety-nine of
the new contracts came from Breck-
inridge county and 165 from the east
ern Kentucky district OF James A.
Kehoe and his workers. The others
came from all parts of the district,
according to officialss of the associ-
alton, that the signing up of growers
is general throughout the territory.
Director of Warehouses Ralph M.
Barker visited a number of points in
the district the past week, including
Winchester, Richmond, Cynthiana,
Foster and Stanford, making ar
rangements for the handling of the
new crop at these points. Foster and
Stanford will have new receiving
plants, local business men having ar
ranged for the financing of these
plants. which will be taken over by
the association on the same terms as
the other houses IL now owns.
District Grader j. Leslie Knight, of
the western district, who has been
busy for several weeks in that ter
ritory in connection with the re-grad-
ing of green tobaccos, said that half
of the 1922 crop had been cut green
and put in the barns and that his
opinion was that the crop. as a whole,
would not exceed that of 1921, which
was the lightest of any year since the
cut out of 1908.
President and General Manager j.
C. Stone went to Nicholasville yester-
day and addressed a meeting of farm
ers there, reviewing the accomplish
ments o fthe hurley association dur
ing the first year of its existence. He

Good Signs in Ireland
CFrom the New York Herald)

A return 20 sanity among the
rebel element OF the Irish Repub-
lican Army IS suggested by the
agreement which five leaders OF the
secessionists have signed with
Michael Collins and his regular
army generals The document urges
the unification Of the army on the
basis of accepting the Free State at
least until the general elections are
held. II says in effect that the ma
jority of the Irish people are willing
TO agree to the treaty with England.
The ultimate efficacy of the agree
ment Is not to be doubted at this
time bacause OF alarms. like those
OF yesterday, created by disappoint
ed and violent men.
This knowledge OF the general
temper of Ireland is the thing that
should sway the rebel troops The
lrreconcilables have offered the
country nothing better than military
rule. Even II that did not mean the
return OF the British 10 power in
the island II would be something
hateful to the Irish character. The
Irish have liked war and they have
made good soldiers, but they have
hated soldier control of their coun-
try.

into the race for Governor. Mr.
Hearst is always a willing candidate
So willing is he just at present that
IL Mr.. Murphy's choice should fail
elsewhere Mr.. Hearst may accept a

Mr.. Hearst has one political quail

$500 on the ground that he was in
