BARE KENTUCK SOIL
TO BE GREEN IN SPRING
Thousand Of Acres VIII Be Covered
As the Result of Farm
Campaign.

Thousands OF acrces of Kentucky
soil that weer bare in former years
Will be green this spring with some
growing crop as q result Of cover
crop campaign promoted during tho
fall of 1921 by county agents, the ex-
tension division of the College of Ag-
riculture and interested farmers who
decided to protect their own fields
from erosion and teaching during the
winter. according to R. H. Stephenson
soils specialist at the Colleg Of Agri-
culture.
Crops used to protect the fields dur
ing the winter included rye, wheat,
barley, vetch, winter oats and Grim
son and sweet clover. Besides pro-
tecting the fields. the wheat, barley
and winter oats will produc a grain
crop according to Mr. Stephenson. Rye
was the principal crop used strictly
for cover crop purposes.
Out Of the So counties that reported
on the drive 20 having the largest
acreage of rye reported total Of
more than $4,000 acres seeded. This
was three and one-half times thte
acreage seeded in 1918.
A few counties used considerable
crimson clover, the five counties hav-
ing the largest acreage, which were
located in southern Kentucky, report
ing more than 1850 acres.
Only a small acreage of vetch and
sweet closer was reported by county
agents.
The ten counties showing the larg-
est increases in the acreage of cover
crops reported seeding of nearly
33 900 acres more than last year, ac-
cording to the county agent reports.
AS result of the increased acreage
Of crops of this kind. much fertility
has been saved by the prevention OF
erosion and teaching. two causes re-
sponsible for the heaviest losses OF
plant food on Kentucky farms, ac-
cording 10 Mr.. Stephenson.

ity might have put these two facts to-
sether prior, not subsequent. to the
horrible disaster to the Roma. With
the terrible example of CR-2 fresh in
our minds. couldn't we have spent the
money necessary to fill the Roma's
big bag with noninfammable helium,
especially since We have seen seeven
millions invested in two plants to re-
cover this gas from natural gas?
There will be investigations. Of
course-already Congress is talking
Of whether or not 1t should sanction
other dirigibles. But will Congress
have the courage to place the blame
for the Roma disaster where is be-
longs-eitther on a penurious policy
or a mistaken idea of economy? viii

ARROWHEAD LEGION
FIGHTS FOR CHARTER

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.-Harol,l
Williams. commander of the Arrowhead
Post, American Legion, was at Legion
headquarters here today to confer with
Commander Quinn regarding the de
mand for the revocation of the Arrow
head Post charter.
Quinn was expected here this after
noon, but the hour of his arrival was
uncertain.
according to Williams, the demand
for withdrawal of the charter of his
post is unfounded.
Williams said the demand originated
from false charges of railroad strike
guards who claimed the Arrowhead
Post had violated the order of Com
mander John r. Quinn for observance
of strict neutrality in the railroad
strike.

u. s. BUSY SELLING
BOOZE in FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-Those
who would like to see the government
in the liquor business should come to
San Francisco, where two branches of
the government are selling whisky, and
in fact. are using all inducements to
draw the bulk of the trade their WAY.
Those with the old-fashioned thirst,
however. should not jump at conclus-
ions. The government is IN the liquor
business, selling guaranteed good, bond
cd whisky-5ut not for beverage pur-
poses.
The latest government booze palace
to open up is conducted by the prohib-
ition enforcement office. 1t is III the
customs house, right next door to its
competition, the customs department,
which is also selling the genuine i'm
ported stuff
SO much confiscated liquor has ae-
eumulated in various warehouses that
Prohibition Director Rutter has pro
cured permission from the U. S. dis
trict court TO sell to properly authorized
persons, such as druggists, physicians,
hospitals, ETC., whatever pure whisky
has been seized. 'sMoon' and fabri
Gated liquors are consigned to the gut
ter.
Both government stores are selling
the liquor for So gallon. 1t retails
at about $40 gallon at drug stores.
Under the prohibition regulations,
physicians are allowed to purchase six
quarts of liquor a year for emergency
purposes. Druggists are allowed vari-
Gus amounts, their liquor trade usually
being restricted to 10 percent of their
drug business. This rule is to prevent
persons entering the drug trade simply
to reap big profots from buying liquor
from the government at So a gallon,
and selling it mt $50.
