GENERAL AGENT OF CIRCUS is AS
BUSY AS THE WE'LL KNOWN BUSY BEE

Agents of the John Robertson cir
Gus have been passing through Chick
asha for several weeks now, prepar-
ing for the coming of the big show
on Wednesday, August 2, when it
will exhibit at 18th and Chickasha.
Circus men have come to town
and contracted the show grounds,
feed, supplies of all kinds, to say
nothing of city licenses and billing
and transportation facilities for the
long trains of the show. Now comes
the first of the press agents, to be
followed by the three advertising
cars, filled with bill posters, litho-
graphers, banner men, country route
and rail billers.
The other day the general agent of
the show came to town quietly and
studied local conditions and business
prospects. He hasn't much to do ex-
cept route the show, order tons of
billing sent to different points every
week, command the activities of one
hundred men in advance, study crop
reports, smooth out railroad move
ments each day, receive reports of
advance car managers, brigade man.
ayers, route riders, audit the accounts
of contracting and dsbursng agents
and keep shipments of paper by
freight ON their way, even il he has
to get them through by airplanes or
wireless, for, be it known, there are
no excuses or alibis in the advance
of the big show. Outside Of that, the
general agent of the John Robert
son circus has nothing to do except
visit cabarets and picture shows. But,
in due course of time, the show trains
roll in, the great stretches of canvas
arise on the "lot,' and the gold and
silver street parade, with its bands,
IFS glittering, flashing cages and cos
tunes, its floats and tableaux, comes
down the street.

FARMERS TAKE UP TERRACING
TO SAVE AND REBUILD SOILS

Lexington, Ky. - Terracing of farm
lands promises to fill am important
place in preventing further soil ero-
sion on Kentucky farms and rebuild
ing many of the 100000 acres in the
state that already are badly washed
and quilted, according to Earl G.
Walch, farm engineering specialist of
the College of Agriculture. Demonstra-
tons to show farmers how to terrace
the rolling fields on their farms al
ready have been held in Crittenden,
Hopkins, Hart, Whitley and Powell
counties while additional ones are
scheduled for II other counties. One
farmer in Hopkins county pointed out
to members of the college engineering
section that the demonstration con-
Quoted on his farm gave hi ma method
of saving soil for which he had been
looking Is years. Counties in which
demonstrations will be held in the
near future include Carroll, ashington,
Marion, Warren, Todd, Larue, Laurel,
Lee, Boone, Breckenridge, Henderson,
Mclean, Christian, Galloway, Knox,
Boyd and Oldham.
Terracing has an almost statewide
appeal in view of the fact that prac-
tically the entire surface of Kentucky
is rolling and subject to serious dam
age through soil washing, Whether or
not terracing is advisable depends up
on the type of soil and the extent to
which the land is rolling. In some
counties, it may be advisable that all
the rolling farm lands be terraced.
The broad-base level-ridge terrace
is the type being recommends dmost
commonly. This form Of terrace is
simply ridge of earth about IS inches
high with a broad base that is thrown
up around the contour Of, the hill to
cate hthe water and carry 1t around at
low rate Of speed so. that no sediment
is carried away. By this method the
water Is carried around the hill and
turned into wood or Sodded strip
that will not wash.
The cost Of terracing, insofar as the
farmers time and use of horse labor is
concerned, does not amount to more
thar. 81 or $3.50 an acre while no spe-
cial engineering training is needed to
lay out terracing system. In plan
ming a sytem, the tools NEEDED include
a level, measuring line and stakes
while the construction requires anly
turning pillow, terrace draw or road
grader. Details of torracing are con-
tanned In Circular No. 129 which may
be obtained free by writing the expert
