Early Tobacco Cutting
Due to Planting Change
From, Enc I.ouisyille rimes.

From the Louisville Times.
City residents driving through some
OF the Burley tobacco counties may be
surprised to see the current crop being
cut and housed, and 1t is true that the
maturing this year Is earlier than usual,
but there has been change in plant
ing time.
In former times Kentucky tobacco
growers watched annual races between
frost time and cutting time. It was be-
heved that the late tobacco had an adj
vantage, II It beat the frost, which in
many cases 1t failed to do. But accord
ing to the Weather Bureau planting has
been done earlier and cutting time has
shifted accordingly. The drought aided
this year In the shifting. Under normal
conditions the tobacco should have been
ready for the knives about the last Of
August. The dry weather threatened to
destroy plants that had yellowed and
showed signs Of dying in the hill.
Even IL the later maturing time was
advantageous as affecting weight, size
or quality Of the leaf, the elimination
Of the uncertainty is q distinct gain.
Removing the frost hazard makes the
crop dependable and has o strengthen
ing effect on farm credit.

pleted the tariff bin before today had
the whole Senate been held here in ses-
sion, instead Of taking the Summer
recess. Certainly the committee would
have large number Of irate Senators
on its back, urging speed In the con-
sideration Of the bill. But that is all
water over tine dam. The Senate took
its recess and the Senate committee
has failed to complete the tariff measure
and the Senate will have to make the
best of the situation. Also the country.
It Is quite reasonable to suppose that
the country, which is considerably in
terested in a tariff revision, would be
glad to have the new tariff law finally
enacted.
The country, however, knows that the
new tariff law will be framed along
the same lines as the present law
COMFORTING with the Republican
principle of a protective tariff. For
that reason 1t awaits the new measure
with more equanimity than had there
been Democratic Congress and a
Democratic President, threatening to
change the tariff system of the country.
1t knows pretty well what is to happen.
A number Of tariff duties will be raised
in the end, and very few lowered.
Already there Is strong indication
that the Republicans in charge of the
tariff bill will have aid in passing the
bill from some OF the Democratic
Senators. The South, changed In great
measure in recent years by the growth
of its manufacturing interests, no longer
Is for free trade. It wants its industries
protected. It is entitled to have them
protected. But the South realizes that
IL its industries are to be protected the
industries of other sections of the
country also must have protection. So
the word has gone out to some of the
Democratic Senators from Southern
States in emphatic tones. Among those
who have heard particularly from their
constituents in this regard are the
Senators from Florida. There Is every
indication they will be found support
ing the Republican tariff bill, provided,
of course, they find that the Florida in
terests are cared for in the measure.
The Louisiana Senators, both Demo-
Gratis, and the Senators from New York,
Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts, and
several other Democratic Senators may
be found supporting protective tariff
duties carried in the bill. This Demo-
cratic support for the bill in part at
least places responsibility upon the
Democrats. At least, the Republicans,
If they find the new law unpopular, will
be inclined to call attention loudly to
the fact that 1t had Democratic sup
port, too. In the House a score of
Democratic members voted for the
tariff bill last Spring, and only a
dozen Republicans voted against 1t.
The Senate. meeting today, may find
itself almost continuously in session
until next Summer. Should the special
session run UP to the time of the open
ing Of the regular session, this is as
sured. But next Summer come the
campaigns for reelection Of the entire
House of Representatives and one-third
of the membership of the Senate. The
desire to get away AND back to the home
district and State to rebuild political
fences will be strong by the time next
Nav rolls round.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Shadows Of the Autumn garden begin
to fall across many a mind.
Sunlight and shadow are more In the
heart than in the visible world.
Some gardeners prefer Fall, others dc
not.
1t is among the latter class that ap-
preaching Autumn casts its impending
shadows, seen by the sensitive when
flowers are in full bloom.
attitude will wonder why the garden OF
September and october is less attractive
than that of July and August.
They point to the blooming Of dahlias
and chrysanthemums as a veritable
high point of the gardening year.
They say that the crisp weather OF
the later months makes gardening more
enjoyable. One is free then, they as
sert, from annoying winged creatures,
such as flies and gnats, and from the
evident effects of high temperatures.
X v X X
Those who believe otherwise admit
all this, yet still feel that the year.
gardening is at an end in September,
with shadows cast across enjoyment
even SO early as during these last days
of August.
Perhaps 1t is nothing more than the
flowers. The waning of blooms on such
shrubs as the altheas bespeaks the nat
ural end of the garden for another
Winter season.
Back of these slight changes stands the
acceptance of Natures DEGREES. The
time Is coming and shortly will be at
hand when outside gardening will be a
thing of the past. Some of us feel it
even now, although the days may be
warm and the garden in practically
perfect condition.
No doubt the individual gardeners
physical being plays great part in his
mental attitude toward the seasons as
they come forward and pass away, out
of the mystery called Time, back again
into its innermost receSseS.
Time thus stands at the very garden
portals, taking the little flowers by the
hand, saying to them, Here, my dears,
is your place." and later when Autumn
comes leading them as gently out again
into the silent unknown.
n X n X
Now the grass begins to wither al
though 1t still is green. and the flowers
to fade, although they are yet bright,
and he who cannot see this mystery
has missed the spirit Of gardening, SO
some think.
It is a trick to make flowers grow out
Of season, but it is not gardening
Scientists have forced plants by a sys-
tenn of artificial sunlight, but, as in
teresting as the results have been, the
process cannot be called gardening.
The essence of gardening Is a COM
munion between the mind Of the gar
dener and the universal mystery called
Time. The common sport Of every day
known as killing time" has no place
in the garden.
Cultivated plots are useful to man
kind, not only for what is grown in
them, but because they show once and
for all the absurdity of being impatient
on the one hand or hot-headed on the
other.
Every child finds that he cannot
hurry up seed. He may go to his plot
thousand times day, but his anxiety
does not make his seeding hurry up

SACRAMENTO, Calf, August 90
Despite the fact that Herbert l.. Roys-
ton. held in Jail here, has confessed to
having participated in robbery at
Lamar, Colo. which resulted In the
death of four people and the theft
of over 100000, citizens of San An
dreas, where Royston was arrested Fri
day, are unable to believe such an
amazing story Of Jekyn and Hyde ex-
istence.
Perhaps the most complete story Of
Royston's life in San Andreas was re-
lated by man who had worked with
the fugitive more than year.
"Royston, who came to work for q
cement company when they first started
to construct a plant in San Andreas,
was known to us as Heavy and was
one Of the best liked men on the whole
job" the workman said. At one time
he was responsible for stopping two
runaway cars Of cement, and he was
one OF the highest paid men on the Job.
He married after while and was
considered a model husband.
The workman explained that some
time in 1928 man named Messich Ear
rested Saturday in Colorado Springs
and reported to have made confession
similar to Royston'S) and RoySton be-
came friends"
In May Of the same year Royston
and Messick told their boss they were
going to Los Angeles for a vacation Of
two weeks. They left together, but it
was practically three months before
Royston returned with bad wound in
his jaw, and Messick never did come
back.
"Royston explained the wound by
saying he had been in an automobile
accident.
Gov G. G. Young has ordered the
immediate extradition Of Royston.
