MORGAN FARMERS ENTER
DRIVE FOR COVER CROPS.

Lexington, Ky. - Morgan county
farmers are the most recent ones to
join the annual fall cover crop cam
paign being conducted throughout the
state through the cooperation of the
farmers organizations, county agricul-
tural agents and the extension division
of the College Agriculture, according
to r. E. Stephenson, soils specialist of
the college. The campaign is designed
to prevent the heavy losses of plant
food caused by erosion and teaching
when the fields are left unprotected
during the winter.
Farmers in the county who are CO.
operating with County Agent r. B.
Rankin are EXPECTED to make spe-
cIal effort to have large acreage of
rye seeded, this crop being the princi-
pal ole that will be used in the cam
paign. Morgan county ah sa consider
able acreage Of rolling land that
erodes rapidly when left without a
growing crop during the winter. Many
tobacco and cowpea fields and num-
Der of corn fields in the county are in
special need of some crop to protect
them.
In addition to protecting the soil
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1922-08-22

from erosion and leachingI the rye on
many farms In the county will be used
for pasture. The crop has proved sat
lsfactory for grazing with all kinds Of
stock, many farmers last year having
been especially pleased with it as a
pasture for dairy COWS and ewes that
were sucking lambs. Calves and pigs
alsot thrive on young rye.
A few farmers in the county who
have rich soils on their farms will use
vetch and rye as their cover crop COM
bination. In this case about ten younds
of We CHI seed will be used with
bushel of rye for each acre Vetch is
especially valuable since it is a le-
gume and therefore builds up the soil
It is hardy but the seed must be inoc-
ulated and requires a little better soil
than rye.
In mots cases where the betch and
rye are seeded together they will be
plowed under in the spring for green
manure. Farmers who use rye alone
will either pillow It under or use it as
nurse crop for garss. Satisfactory
results are obtained by handling the
| crop either way. Pasturing the rye
| when it is used as nurse crop does not
| injure the grass if the stocwk are re-
moved early in the season.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, - There is not state
in the Union where man can be re-
elected to the governorship or to any
other executive Office if he fails in his
duty in the preservation of law and

Publicity Association, 1T is true that
an emergency exists which calls for
unusual courage and ability, but the
exercise of unusual courage and abil-
ity is what governors are for. In ard
mary times ordinary men can perform
executive functions. Men who have
sought the high Office of governor of a
state and have been entrusted with its
duties an Responsibilities have assum-
ed to possess more than ordinary fit
ness for the position. Moreover, they
have taken a solmen oath to support
the laws and constitutions of their
states as chief executives. Upon them.
therefore, rests a special responsible.
'ty which they can not evade.
"The maintenance of peace and or
der is primarily state and not ma
tional governmental function. Only
when the power of the state proves
inadequate is the national government
called upon to act. This fact should

zens of the several states who will
hold their own state executives re-
sponsible for the exercise of every pos
sible power in the preservation of
peace and maintenance Of public safe

Bill has had old Tom for nineteen
years. The horse was given to Bill by
his father for Bill to drive when he
started going to town to high school

be past twenty-five years old, but he's
always had a lot of love and good
care and he's q hearty old thing for all
his years.
But he can't work in the fields any
