CUISINES REVIEW" REVIEWS
BUSINESS CONDITIONS

The monthly business Review
published at Cleveland, ohio, under
auspices of the Federal Reserve
Bank, of the Fourth Federal Re-
serve District, has the following re-
garding farming conditions in Chic
and Kentucky
with very few exceptions the
many reports we have received on
agricultural conditions are of very
encouraging and hopeful nature.
Wheat harvesting has been practi-
cally completed, and in many Sec
lions of the Fourth District thresh-
ing is we'll under way. While the
yield is not high, and in some in
stances is below expectations, farm
ers quite generally feel encouraged
over the returns. In marked con-
trast to former conditions, when the
farmers were holding their wheat
for larger prices, the crop this year
is being marketed rapidly. and agri-
cultural communities are paying off
a part of their Indebtedness.
''The corn crop at this time is re-
ported to be looking very favorable.
The acreage in Ohio is estimated to
be per cent greater than that of
last year. The United States acre
age and condition of corn in Ken
lucky indicates crop of about 94,-
$4,000 bushels compared to 81
10000 bushels last year.
1.-The Burley tobacco crop is in ex-
cellent condition and the only thing
that is worrying the tobacco plant
ers is the large acreage. The crop
was set out early and has grown fast
and evenly. 1t is believed that a
large part of the crop will be cut in
August this year, and early cutting
means good quality. Practically all
of the old Burley has been sold, and
it appears that the farmers are very

marketing association, as great

of Agriculture place the 1922 to-
bacco acreage Gall types) of Ken
lucky at $4,000 as compared to
3S5, 900 acres last year, an increase
of As per cent.
I'm special pig survey made by
the Department of Agriculture, it is
indicated that there will be a net
increase of 14.5 per cent in the num-
Der of pigs raised in the corn belt

compared with the first half of

woven tense situations and swift
adventure into this new story of his,
with result that there are wonder

AUTOISTS MORE CAREFUL al
RAILWAY CROSSINGS

That drivers of automobiles are
coming more careful is borne out by
a recent check made in Kentucky by
the Safety Department of the South.
ern Railway System.
AT three different crossings on
, the Dixie Highway, observations
were made this month with the fol-
lowing statistics noticed:
Number of vehicles passing over
crossing, 967.
Number stopped before crossing
tracks, 221.
Number where driver looked in
one direction. 354
Number where driver looked in
both directions, 555.
Number where driver crossed
without taking any precautions, S.
Number crossed at speed exceed
ing twenty miles an hour, %.
This check disclosed that one driv-
er out of every four actually stopped
to make sure that no trains were ap-
preaching before crossing the tracks,
81 per cent looked in both direc-
tions and 81 per cent looked in one
direction before crossing tracks,
while only 6 per cent failed to con-
slider care at crossings and crossed
without taking any precaution what
ever.
TT takes very little of ones time
to make sure that no trains are ap-
preaching before crossing railroad
tracks," says a statement issued by
the Southern, land it is hoped that
you, Mr.. Autoist, will ever bear in
mind the warning that it displayed
throughout the country, Gross
Crossings Cautiously and never be
listed as crossing tracks without
taking due thought of the danger.
1t is by far wiser to be careful than
to ignore any of the many precau-
tions necessary"

POULTRY AND EGGS MARKET
REVIEW

Butter production has been heav-
Ter than during the corresponding
period last year. There has been
little change in prices throughout
the producing sections. Demand for
current consumption continues good,
although some surplus is finding it's
way to storage.
Egg receipts are above normal
and are somewhat in excess of the
supply required for current use, the
surplus being placed in storage. The
stocks in cold storage are unusually
large for this season of the year.
The lower prices prevailing, if pass
ed along to the consumer, should
bring about a better demand.
Ample poultry for current use is
being marketed, and as spring chick
ems reach the marketing age, the
movement will undoubtedly in
crease, resulting in some decline in
buying prices.

BOURBON FARM CONDITIONS

The drouth condition in this coun.
ty, as well as others of the Blue
Grass region, has become so acute
that the pastures are drying ur
completely, and many farmers are
having to haul water from long dis
tances for their stock, and now
with the pastures dried up, corr
curling and tobacco drying on ths
stalk, farmers are very much dis
couraged over the outlook.
The drouth may force a prema-
ture cutting of the tobacco crop, al
least in some sections. The weed is
not wholly ripe, but is drying I'D
and some farmers believe they will
profit by cutting it now rather thar
leaving it in the field. The crop is
well advanced, and has just about
reached maturity, but has been los.
ing in quantity and quality for the
past two weeks. The corn crop will
De cut down to about half of what
was at first expected, early in the
season, unless saving rains come
soon. The new potato crop is re.
ported as being very good. Butter
fresh milk and eggs are plentiful
at moderate prices. Plenty of frui,
and vegetables on the local market

FLORIDA HAS CHAMPION FISH
STORY
(Barto, Fla, Record)

Wal ", Id, INSCOIut
No tobacconist ever told a lie, and
so when j. A. Dalton, who has been
visiting Tom Tucker, east of Lake
Wales, Fla, near Templetown, tells
that he saw a fish catch a bird, one
believes it right away.
Dalton, who owns a cigar store at
st. Petersburg, stopped to throw a
line in a small pond by the way of
the Templetown road. Nothing hap
pened to his own hook, but after a
cast or two he heard a commotion
in the grass few feet away Co
ing over to see what was the matter
he found that a good-sized black
bass had landed a black bird that
had evidently been drinking from
the pond, or, perching OH the grass
near the water. Just how the bass
came to grab the bird Mr.. Dalton
did not know. He did not see that.
But he did see that the bass had the
bird, and when he drove it away, he
found that it had so mangled the
bird that it was about through with
this life. Dalton killed the bird
The fish got away. A fish can catch a
bird, says Mr.. Dalton.

AN OLD-TIME KENTUCKY CTS
TOM

At one time Kentucky relied
mainly upon the warning in" sys.
tenn for maintenance work upon the
public roads. Under this system the
road overseer appointed by the
County Court was empowered tc
warn in" or summons every able.
bodied male living along the public
highway to work three days a year
in keeping up the roadway.
Failure to obey the summons of
the overseer and work on the roads
subjected the delinquent to a heay,
line and even a Jail sentence. The
system was operated many years
with most satisfactory results as
the roads were worked by those liv
ing along and using them and there
fore virtually interested in their I'D
keep.

DEFINITION OF A SCAB
(Contributed)

After God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire. He
had some awful Substance" left
with which he made a "scab." A
scab" is a two-legged animal with
corkscrew soul, a water-logged
brain and a combination backbone
made of jelly and glue. Where 9TH
er people have their hearts he car
rles tumor of rotten principles.
When a "scab" comes down the
street honest men turn their backs.
and angels in Heaven weep tears.
and the devil shuts the gates of
Hades to keep them out.
No man has a right to remain a
"scab" as long as there is a pool of
water deep enough to drown his
body in, or rope long enough to
hang his carcass with. Judas Iscar-
lot was a gentleman compared with
a "scab" for after betraying his
Master he had enough character to
hang himself, and "scab" has not.

STATE HEALTH BOARD ADOPTS
BREAD STANDARD

If the bakers of Kentucky, fol
their own protection and that Of
the people of the State, desire it, the
Bureau of Foods, Drugs and Hotels
of the State Board of Health will
adopt for all bread inspections the
standards of the Federal Joint Com
mittee on Definitions, Miss Sarah H.
Vance, director of the bureau, has
announced.
Efforts will be made Immediately
to familiarize all bakers of the State
with these definitions and later ex-
pressions from them will be sought
to determine the advisability of
their adoption.
These definitions define wheat
bread or white breat as that made
in the form of a loaf or rolls, or
other units smaller than a loaf, by
baking wheat bread dough. 1t must
ing, not more than 3S per cent moist
ure. The moisture limitation for
milk bread is the same, but here
there is provision for replacing not
less than one-third of the water in
gredient with milk or it's equivalent.
In rye bread at least one-third of
the wheat -four ingredient must
have been replaced by rye -four. For
raisin bread there is provision that
each pound of the baked product
must have had added to it at least
three ounces of raisins, and sweet
ening and shortening ingredients
are permitted to be used in greater
quantity than in wheat bread.

Tokyo, Japan.-The question wheth.

grown popular among Japanese WON

general as yet. They dance very
gracefully in their native costumes and
