BURLEY POOL HAS 1900
ENROLLED; 1000 OVER GOAL.
Cooperative Officials Jubiiant Al
Signing TIP of Ninety Per Cent
OF f022 Crop to the As
sncintin

Lexington, Ky, Nov. 11.-Addj-
tional new contracts received Satur-
day at the field service division of
the Burley Tobacco Growers Co
operative Association increased the
total number of tobacco growers who
have come into the Association since
last fall to more than 800 and the
total to slightly more than 1900,
including several hundred contracts
still in the hands OF assistants Of
, Chief William Collins or still held
by county chairmen.
With the goal of $4,000 members
reached and exceeded by more than
1000, officials of the Burnley Assoc
citation are jubilant at the result OF
the drive for new signers. The ac-
reage added by the recent campaign
and since the close of the drive last
fall is in excess of $4,000, placing
the cooperative in control of more
than nine-tenths of the crop of 1922.
The tabulation of the new con-
tracts has not been completed but it
was said at the offices of the field
service that with the 76,401 con-
tracts in the office, about 700 more
remain in the hands of workers and
that this latter figure might go as
high as 500, which would make the
total membership 1890 or more.
Director of Warehouses Ralph NJ.
Barker received word from President
James C.. Stone, in New York, that
arrangements had been made with
the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Com
pany for the use of their warehouse
at Huntington by the Association
temporarily until decision has been
made as to the definite location of a
receiving plant at Huntington. The
Association may take over the Lig-
gett & Myers property, it was said,
as the location is convenient and the
price not high, considering real
estate values in that rapidly growing
city.

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT
FOR NOVEMBER, 1922

Kentucky's total production of to-
bacco, of all types, in 1922 is esti-
mated at 446,400, 900 pounds in the
November crop report for Kentucky
issued today by the Louisville Office
of the United States Bureau of Ag-
ricultural Economics in cooperation
with State Commissioner of Agri-
culture w. C. Hanna. This is about
81 percent increase over the $780,
10000 pounds produced in Ken
lucky in 1921, but only about 96
percent of the states average annual
production of 467, 100000 pounds
from 1916 to 1920, both inclusive.
Both hurley and dark types show a
sharp increase in acreage in Ken
lucky this year compared to 1921,
the percent of increase being great
er in the dark districts than in the
hurley district. The average yield
per acre this year in Kentucky, in
Guiding all types of tobacco, is 500
pounds, as compared to SAG lbs. in
1921 and the 10-year average Of
$50 lbs. per acre. The United
States entire tobacco crop, of all
types, is estimated at 1880, 900
pounds this season compared to l.
O75,41S,000 pounds in 1921, and an
average annual production OF 1.377,-
$4,000 pounds 1916-20, inclusive.
Quality of tobacco in Kentucky is re-
ported as SS per cent this season
compared to "a per cent in 1921,
while the quality of the United
States total crop is S4.3 per cent
this season compared to 1871 per

Greensboro, KY, Oct, 24.-If
the world than Panther creek, Dav-
less county would like to hear about
it. For a distance of perhaps $50
miles through this county Panther
creek performs such a continuous
series Of bends and curves as would
make professional contodtionist
weep with envy.
On large map of Daviess county
it looks like a gigantic snake with
ing in a death agony. And those
who have followed it's tortuous wind
ings say that no map can do it JUS
tice. A crow flying across Panther
creeks valley would cross it oftener
than it has feathers. Moreover, the
same crow would see it in some
places as no more than a rivulet in
others as lake five or six miles in
diameter.
Panther creek has no conscience.
For many years it has been a most
exasperating maker of mischief, a
crop destroyer, a malaria breeder
and a general all-around nuisance.
But like the villain in the play, it's
days of evil sport are numbered.
Two years from now it will forsake
many Of its old haunts and will set
tie down to a straighter and more
praise-worthy existence.
Thirteen hundred Daviess county
land owners who long have submit
ted to Panther creeks caprices have
begun to administer surgical treat
ment in the form of the biggest
drainage project ever undertaken in
Kentucky. 1t is to cost $624,OOO
and to be finished in two years.
Drainage bitches to length of
thirty-fve miles are about to be dug.
work having started last June on
the preliminaries. These bitches
will form straight cuts at points
where Panther wanders aimlossly
off in various and inexplicable direc-
tions, thus shortening the creeks
course by many miles and providing
a fairly straight waterway.
Eleven Crossings Within Mile
In one place the line of the ditch,
within the course of a mile, crosses
Panther creek eleven times. And
from the forks-where meet Pan
theirs north and south branches
to the end of the project, the new
stream will travel ten miles, while
the old stream now travels fifty. This
Just for illustration Of Panther's
waywardness and the need OF cor
rection measures.

banks knew by the experience of
themselves and their fathers that
crops planted in the bottoms we're
subject to flooding at the first heavy
rainfall. during which time Panther,
unable to carry its burden, would
resort to the simple expedient of ov-
erflowing.

A freak ear of corn was grown on a
farm near Rockville, Indiana. Every
grain in it is white except for thirteen
red ones which form a perfect cross
near the top. 1t is being preserved as
a curiosity by the Indiana State
University at Bloomington, Ind. A
freak grown here in New Ulm has been
exhibited in the Relie7v window for the
past week. It is a carrot which when
first dug represented very exactly a
human hand, severed at the writ. The
five fingers and a thumb were each
separate root growths; one side OF the
parent root growth was convex like
the somewhat fat hand of a short,
stout person, the knuckles were etmarked
with dimpled depressions and the
palm Of the hand was slightly concave.
Each finger ended in a small root point
which gave the appearance of long,
sharp nails. The fingers and thumb
were all of proportionate lengths and
while the thumb was somewhat
smaller than natural, the fingers were
almost the size of those Of an ordinary
hand. The carrot was grown on the
Steinhauser farm.

FALSE PENSION STORY
is BEING CIRCULATED.

80 .t.-H ~. ...sF
The pension story which is being
circulated in some parts Of the county
that officials who have served for a
certain number Of years are entitled
to receive pensions is without founda-
tion. There is no arrangement in
Minnesota for pensioning county en-
ployes. The only compensation re-
ceived by county officials consists Of
salaries and fees as fixed by law and
the board Of county commissioners
The pension story has been circulated
in connection with the campaign Of
Sheriff w. J. Julius for reelection and
has caused inquiries to be made.
Neither the sheriff, nor any official is
entitled to pension no matter how
long he has been in office.

PESKY APPLE MAGGOT
CAN BE CONTROLLED

The apple maggot or railroad worm
has been playing havoc with the apple
crop on many farms in Minnesota
according to A. G. Ruggles,. of Univer-
sity Farm, state entomologist. In
some cases apples which appeared to
be perfect when harvested from trees
that had been sprayed soon developed
a form of rot in the barrel or box.
Much Of this loss, says the eatomolo-
gist, can be traced directly to the door
of the maggot. In cases where the
spraying lacked thoroughness the in
sect has become serious menace.
Professor Ruggles explains that the
mature form of this pest is little fly
about the size and shape of the house
fly. It may be seen during July,
August and early September. The
female flies make an opening in the
! skin Of the apple and lay their eggs.
7 The maggots soon emerge from the
eggs aud by tunneling through the pulp
cause the breaking down of the fruit.
! 'sTheir nefarious work is done, there
| fore, after July when the ordinary
spraying operations of the season are
supposed to be over,'' says Professor
Ruggles. 'fUnless the fruit grower has
sprayed with great care early in the
season, leaving much Of the poison on
the fruit and leaves, the insects will
take a good share Of the crop. The
spray poison cannot reach the eggs OF
maggots within the fruit, but it will
get the flies if applied early in July
Or just before they lay their eggs.
when the pest is we'll established
three late sprayings are necessary the
first early in July, the second about
July 20 and the third about August 10
When the spraying just after blossom;
ing time and later has been thoroughly
done, one spraying in July is sufficient
A combination Of arsenate Of lead anc
lime sulphur should be used in spray
ing. The first will kill the fly, and tn.
latter will wipe out the fungous dis
leases. ~ 'sss5 ..

Statements urging support Of
Amendment No. 1, have been issued
by the three candidates for governor,
Magnus johnson, Farmer Labor; Ed
ward Indrehus, Democrat, and j. A. O..
Preus, Republican. The statement Of
Magnus Johnson is as follows:
Z Amendment No. is one Of the
most forward-looklng pieces of legis-
lation that, has been offered Minnesota
in many day. It is hard to realize
that lis amendment, if passed, will
open the door to a constructive, state
directed system of agricultural long
time credit that will lift farming out
of the quagmire of bank loans and
mortgage company obligations. The
amendment alone will not bring re-
lief, but it rolls away the stone Of con-
stitutional restrictions so that pro-
gressive legill llature can enact laws
needed.
Not Special legislation.
Il hope the people of Minnesota
will vote for the manedment. City
people, a. we'll as farmers, should vote
for it, as it will in no way burden the
state with taxes, nor is it special
legislation in favor Of a select class.
II worked for this amendment
throughout the last session OF the legis-
lature, as did a majority Of both houses,
and it is now up to the people to ap-
prove it by voting for it. Simply not
voting will not do, because blank
ballots count against it. This amend
ment embodies one of the most i'm
portant planks of the Farmer-Labor
platform, and represents public

executive committee of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation.
Amendment No. r., says Mrs.
Ripley, ''is of special Importance to
women on the farm, because it will
pave the way for better conditions in
the farm home. Every woman,
whether she lives on the farm or in the
city, who goes to the polls and does
