CLARENCE BROWN
GETS 2 DISTRICTS

Clarence Brown, appointed mana
ger of the Green River District Of
the Dark Tobacco Growers Assoc "a
ton, has been appointed as manager
of the Stemm ng district also, ac-
cording to advices from Hopkins
VI lie. The Stemming district is COM
posed of Henderson, Union, Webster
and parts of Hopkins counties and
usually handles about 25,0O0,O00
pounds of tobacco.
Announcement of appointment Of
WI liam Hodge as manager for the
Stemming distr ct some weeks ago
seemed to have been premature, as
Mr. Hodge has been unable to take
over the management of the district.
His appointment, however, was re-
ceved with general satisfaction. Mr..
Hodge has been an independent buy
err on the Henderson markets for a
number of years.
Chief Grader for the Green River
district, Richard O'Flynn, Jr., went
to Hopkinsville Tuesday to Join
Manager Brown and the directors
from the other districts of the asso-
citation. The conference, beng held
at Hopkinsville. is for the purpose
of determining when the receiving
houses will be in shape to take the
tobacco of the growers.

GOVERNMENT BY PROXY"

The most dangerous character OF
government IS government. by
proxy" and no other kind of govern
ment is possible when officials are
incompetent.
A good government must be a
bus. ness government, but it mus. be
the right kind of business. A mar
chant may make money in his store,
q banker IN his bank, a farmer on
his farm, and so on through the list
of private business, yet any of. these
men, though successful in Their pri-
vate bus ness would prove utter fail
ures at the head of a government
unless they possessed adequate
knowledge of government business.
They could not run their own bus
ness without experience and knowl-
edge in their spec al Line, and so 1t
is with governments. Human talent
IS var ed. Some men are suited to
one thing and wholly unfit for an
other, which they discover by ex-
perience.
A State government is necessarl-
ly complicated. 1t has to deal with
so many different kinds of people
and with so many intricate and i'm
portant questions that its problems
are multiplied and made exceed ngly
difficult. Its successful operation
requires not only an able, honest,
courageous business man, but this
bus ness man must also be a states
man, or he will fall helpless prey
into the hands of designing persons.
The history of the World may be
searched in vain for single great
or successful government without
men in charge of 1t, who were well
trained and experienced In govern
mental business or craftsmanship,
while ON the other hand multitude
Of failures in government have re-
suited from inexperience and want
OF capacity.
The public may be interested as
well as benefited in knowing that
this strange bug" of A business
man and not politician for Gov
ernor was Matched and turned loose
in Frankfort last Winter during the
session of the Legislature by small
nest of professional polit clans and
Legislative advisors. They foresaw
a separation of the sheep from the
goats by an irate people. and for
fear they would land in the bunch
of goats these politicians began to
prepare for an underground rear ell
trance to the Statehouse.
This catchy but misleading phrase
was coined with a view of fooling
the people of Kentucky and Of caus-
ing the voters to nominate and elect
an inexperienced and incompetent
man as Governor. who was to be
secretly hand picked and suggested
by these politid ans. Naturally they

The one-story barn is quite com

ed in relat on to cost. There Is no
objection to storing feed above the

possible because outside of the cost
of feed labor is one of the largest
items of cost in the production OF
milk.

AUTO OWNERS IN STATE
PACK HEAVY BURDEN

License fees to the amount of ST.

State this year by owners of 154,731
motor vehicles, according to stat s.
ties announced at Frankfort yest9'-

increase of $364,929 over 1921, is
the total of receipts recorded up TO
December 8.
1t s estimated that the receipts
next year VIII be increased by at
least 25 per cent, the new automo
bile License law alone netting APP
proxmately $250,000 more than the
amount received from passenger car
owners under the old law.
Under the new law, the License
fee for passenger cars is based on a
charge of 25 cents for each horse
power, plus 40 cents for each 100
pounds in weight. Tn makes the
charge on the lighter cars slightly
less, increasing it slightly on the
heau err ones. In the past the basis
has been 50 cents a horsepower.
Gas Tax Revenue $5OO,OOO
The revenue derived through the
tax on each gallon OF gasoline, which
is estimated to be about 100000 a
year, also will be more next year.
The revenue received by the State

29,07t Samples or Seeds Tested BY
Department

During the fiscal year 1922, the
seed-testing laboratories of the Blu
reau of Plant Industry, United

received and exam ned 1851 sam
ples of seeds. OF these, II 100 came
to the laboratory at Wash ngton.
and 1851 to the five branch seed
testing laboratories maintained in
cooperaton with the State institu-
tons.
These samples represent both veg
cable and field seeds from farmers,
seed dealers, and investigators, TO
whom reports OF analyses were sent,
showing the presence of weed seeds
and worthless material, or the
germ nation, or bo h, as requested.
Through this service the work OF
the seed-testing laboratories is m
mediately applied to practical agri-
culture.
A total of 6,962 samples of veg
etable seeds was purchased and test
ed for termination, and the results
of these tests will be publ shed.
Some of these seeds garden peas
were also grown in the field for trIe-

The Importance Of Careful Grading
Very careful grading of tobacco
has always paid extremely well.
Every year the countrys crop brings
millions of dollars less than should
he obtained for it on account of in
different grading.
With the cooperative system Of
market ng, which bids fair to he
adopted in every tobacco-growing
district of the country, careful grad
ing is even more important than
with other systems of marketing.
In cooperative selling the assoc a
ton must keep each grade up to
definite standard If it is to retain,
or merit, the confidence of buyers.
The success of the association de-
ponds almost entirely upon its hon
esty in grading and in dealing with
purchasers of the leaf. The man
placing the incoming tobacco at the
receiving station N the proper
grades has positive and emphatic
instruction not to let anything go
mo grade that does not measure
up in every way to the full standard
of that grade. If tobacco that would
fall in grade CO, for example, is
found to contain cons, derable leaf
that belongs in grade CA, there is
nothing TO do but put all the tobacco
IN the lower grade. There is no
time for grading after the tobacco
is brought to the receiving ware
house.
Many farmers have the idea that
a different k nd OF grading should
be practiced in preparing leaf for
the cooperative market. This is not
true. There is really but one way
to grade tobacco; that is, to make
as many grades as there are types
Of leaf and put each type by itself.
There have been so many grades
provided by the assoc alton that
practically any type of tobacco that
may be brought in can he referred
to its proper grade.
Even with this large number of
grades the duty of the official grader
is not an easy one, and he is often
puzzled where to put tobacco that
comes IN. Careful. neat grading
will help him immensely, and will
help the grower also.

Exports OF Corn
Approximately 80 per cent of the
corn entering into world trade comes
from Argentina and the United
States, according to information
compiled by the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. In 1921
shipments from the United States
exceeded those from Argentina by
$1,000, 900 bushels, but prior to that
year Argentina was usually the
larger shipper, average exports from
that country before the war (19O9-
1879 having been between one-third
and one-half of all corn entering
into world trade and about two and
one-half times the quantity export
ed by the United States.
Exports of corn from Argentina
in 1921 totaled about 10000, 900
bushels, or 100000 bushels less
than the pre-war average exports
and about 100000 bushels less
than the exports of 1920. On the
other hand, exports from the United
States in 1921 were 100000
bushels, which was Ill 100000
bushels more than in 1920 and
about S7.OOO,OOO bushels more than

liable animals, on sale there by silver
fox farm corporation, and made con-
tract payment on pair for their farm.

small scale, but that it is already
reality, and with brightest prospects,
should at present hold the crowd for
spell. Numerically small, OF neces-
sity, for these silver foxes cost the
tidy sum of $4,000 a pair. Mr.. Lehman
is starting with one pair. The animals
purchased are at present but pups,
but they are registered purebred
Prince Edward Island silver foxes, and
hence the foxey price. The pair pur-
chased will be kept at the Spokane fox
farm until next summer, where they
are to be bred in due time, and deliv-
cred with their litter to Mr.. Lehman
next September, at which time there Is
guaranteed to be at least one addition
to the family with a possibility OF
eight.

is not a new thing. 1t has been estab-
