POLK GAS SWELLS

nalIas. Or, April 22-Recent
reports circulated in Dallas Of the "
.xistance Of oil and gas have at
kracted considerable interest in
Portland.
group of business men who
70 inclined to speculate are max
Enr a thorough investigation OF
+be proposition and 1t is known
Stbat the deeper they go into the
Snatter the greater interest they
are showing.
These men, for instance, were
dumbfounded to learn that dwell
kings in Polk county are being
highted and heated from gas flow
H,ng from a we'll dug for water,
ond vet no systematic investiga-
.,ion as to the extent of this gas
bodv has been made. Like all
Others who look into the matter
these men say that where there
\ i 60 much gas there is more than
Ilikely an unlimited supply.
These men, in their investiga-
Etions. have found that the gov
1ernment biologists condemned the
SCalifornia field before oil was dis
lowered. The same geologists re-
ported against the possibility of
oil in Texas, where it has since
heen found in great quantities.
The fact therefore, that the geol-
Eogists held that oil does not exist
Hin oregon, is discounted by these
men.
4 This is about as far as these
aparties have gone to date. They
5are still working, and have sent

Iconditions seem to be favorable.
lor confine their efforts to the inn

All those favoring the rapid
development of Polk county will

conclude to drill and test the

RICE NEXT KENTUCKY CROP?

The recent successful experiment
of Southern Indiana farmer in
growing a crop of rice that netted a
normal yield to the acre, raises the
question as to whether the same
thing cannot be done in Kentucky.
Climatic and other conditions are
about the same, it is pointed out,
and the soil in some sections of the
State may be adapted to the Guilt
walton of rice in paying quantities.
Whether the cultivation of rice
has ever been attempted in Ken
lucky is not known. but in the
light of the southern Indiana expe-
rience it might be worth a trial.
The production of rice cultiva-
ton in the United States has been
credited to Thomas Jefferson, the
"Sage of Monticello" who while
Minister to Italy, is said to have
surreptitiously filled his pockets
with rice for seeding. Prior to that
the crafty Italian growers are said
to have prevented the propagation
of rice elsewhere by running the
rice through a machine that bored
a hole in each kernel and prevented
termination.
Many of the crops for which
Kentucky is famous were first
tried as experiments and gradually
brought up to their present status
Burley tobacco, now the leading
staple crop of Central Kentucky
had a modest beginning fifty years
ago.

KENTUCKY NOW FOURTH IN
PUREBRED CAMPAIGN

In three months during the sum-
mer past, Kentucky went from fifth
to fourth place among all stakes in
the number of farmers who have
enrolled in the nationwide Better
Sires-Better-Sto campaign by
agreeing to use nothing but pure
bred sires in all their breeding
work, according to the latest quar-
terly report on the project which
has just been received at the Col
lege of Agriculture. During those
October 1. more farmers were en-
rolled in the movement in Union
county than in any other county in
the country, according to the re-
port. County Agent L. c. Brewer,
working in cooperation with the
college extension division, enrolled
SO farmers in the drive for better
livestock. OF the 573 enrollments
that were obtained throughout the
United States during the three
months named, 246 came from Ken
lucky. -,
The drive. for better livestock,
which is being carried on in all
States of the country by State ag-
fricultural colleges in cooperation
with the United States Department
of Agriculture, is now in it's fourth
year the State of Kentucky stood
at the bottom of the list
of all States when the work start
ed but has made steady progress
and at the present time is preceded
by Ohio, Virginia and Nebraska in
the order named. Oldham county,
where County Agent Gordon B.
Nance is directing the work, has
taken a prominent place in the
drive, that county being one of Is
in which more than 100 farmers
are enrolled.
Up to the present time, Oldham
county is second, Christian third,
Wayne fourth and Fulton fifth.
Other Kentucky counties in which
good work is being done in the
drive to improve live stock are
Todd. Allen, Barren. Carroll, Muhl-
enberg and Nelson. County agents
in many counties of the State are
making definite start toward
lettering livestock conditions by
making livestock surveys to find
out the number of grade, scrub and
purebred animals in their districts

"FLOATERS" HAVE DISAP-
eeHf FEARED 2

What has become of the voter
that insisted upon have a drink be-
fore he would go and vote? When
prohibition came he threatened new
er to vote again, but by this time
he has gotten used to it and become
accustomed to exercise suffrage
without a stimulant.
Before prohibition, when whisky
was regarded by many as an cleo
ton essential, such a voter had to
be reckoned with. Ordinarily he
would resent being termed a float
er." but he could not be budged in
the direction of the polls until he
had been furnished with a mules
earful'' of mean whisky. After
that he was willing to vote.
Another bane of the election
worker is the voter that must be
sent for repeatedly before he can be
induced to go to the polls. He even
has been known to pass the door of
the voting place, but with per-
verseness that is aggravating to the
workers he will not vote until it
suits his fancy, usually just before
the polls close. Ordinarily he is a
partisan and cannot be influenced
in casting his vote but he keeps the
workers on his side in hot water
until he is marked off the list.

LOCATING OLD STATIONS Il
KENTUCKY

The locating of the fortified sta
tions used by the pioneers in the
opening up of Kentucky's wilder
ness in the seventeen hundreds has
long been an interesting study, but
it is only recently that definite in
formation has been obtained con-
corning many of these pioneer sta
lions in Central Kentucky, and the
theme was discussed at the meeting
of the Bradford Historical Society
by the president, Professor A. M.
Miller, who has done much re-
search along this line. In the Off
cial list the following are credited
to Bourbon county:

I. G. N. BUYING ENGINES AND
DOUBLE TRACKING
(HaZard Leader)

The L. & N. Railroad Company
has purchased thirty-six new large
type engines to be put in service in
the coal fields of Kentucky. These
engines are much larger than the
heaviest now operating on this di-
vision and it is evident from this
purchase and the buying of other
equipment that the railroad com
pany is expecting a vigorous revi-
val in the coal business. That they
believe in the Hazard field is also
evidenced by the double tracking
work that will be started his
month
Fifteen and one-half miles OF
double track will be laid, starting
at South Hazard and going tt
Chavies.
