and that nothing unusual was done UP
to that hour. Mr. Sutton. who lives
at 60 Decatur road near the Wards
was one of the card players. He said
last night:
II went to the movies early in the

FARMERS FAVOR PLANS
EOR BETTER POULTRY

Scores of requests for the certifica-
ton of poultry flocks that have been
received in the last few weeks by the
College of Agriculture from farmers
in every part of the state indicate
that Kentucky poultry raisers are
anxious to better the quality of their
stock and breed their hens so they
will lay more eggs. according to j.
II. Martin, in charge of the college
poultry work. Four flocks in the state
already have been certified since the
work was started a few weeks ago
by the college poultrymen. A total
of about so farmers and poultrymen
have made requests to have their
birds certified.
The certification of poultry fiocks
as it is being carried out at the pres
ent time involves two points by which
it is hoped the quality of poultry in
the state can be improved and the
egg production of fiocks increased,
The first of these points is the pick
ing out and marking of the best lay
ing hens in the flock and mating them
with good cockerel to furnish spe-
.cial breeding pen. The second point
in certification is the distribution of
cockerels and Matching eggs from
these breeding pens to other farmers
of the state so that they can get a
difinite start in improving fiocks.
John Reid, Owensboro, is the own
er of the first flock to be certified in
the state. His White Leghorns were
examined by II. r. Jackson, poultry
extension specialist OF the college,
and "a hens picked out as the best
ones to be used in the breeding pen.
Eight Barred Plymouth Rocks from
the flock of Mrs. W. o. Kirk, Philpot,
were put in the breeding pen on this
farm, while ~ Barred Plymouth
Rocks were picked out of the flock
belonging to Mrs. w. II. Dickson, So
nora. to make up her breeding pen.
The largest flock that has been certi-
fed up to the present time belongs
to A. j. Culver, Hopkinsville, ll6 of
his White Leghorns being selected to
make up the breeding pen. Hens in
each of these pens will be mated with
male birds that have trap nest rec
ords behind them or that have come
from focks htat have made records
in producing eggs.

THE BAND CONCERT

The band brayed loudly where the
binding light
Beat back the encroaching loveliness
of night,
And boys with hot moist pennies in
their hands
Swarmed fierce about the whistling
peanut stands.

trees,
And children ran, but, oh, beyond all
these
Bright Adolescence claimed the sum
And wore brief romance like a scar.
let flower
Where round and round the slow pro-
cession moved
Through light and shadow, lover and
beloved.
In the kind night each dull unlovely
face
Took on a hint or wistful borrowed
grace,
And dusk was kind to the too fine at
tire,
Moulding a beauty to the souls de-
sire
Out of the tawdry effort to be fair.
Shrill laughter drifted on the quiet
air,
And Love went by, alone amid the
crowd,
Wordless and awed and pitiful and
proud.
