SPECIAL TO THE SIGNAL. Frankfort, Ky., March 20. Tho Kentucky Legislature kept the pledges made by both political parties lu the matter of law- enforcement legislation to back up tho state and federal amendments. Not only was a drastic law-enforcement law en acted, modeled on the Volsted national prohibition act, but a statute which will make moon shining a risky, as well as un profitable business also was put on the statue books, and still another law levies a tax of 50 cts a gallon on whisky in bonded warehouses, to be paid on its re moval for any purpose, such as its sale, for medical uses, and from this latter tax the state will derive a considerable revenue. Party lines were disregarded in the vote on these bills. Few of the members of either house op posed prohibition enforcement, only six senators voting against the law-enforcement bill on fanal passage. While the vote in the House against it was larger, some of it was on account of certain provisions rather than to expiess opposition to the enforcement of of the prohibition law. The bill was offered inthe House by Rep resentative Homer C. McLolIan.of Louisville, a Republican. The Senate bill, which provides heavy penalties for moonshjning, was introduced by J. D. Whitaker, a Democrat, and J. WpodJVance, of Barren, another Democrat, was the author of the bill to tax whisky removed from warehouses for use 50 cents a gallon. The great danger of bootleg, ged whisky, or alledged whisky, aaa"i5aany -frauds peYpeTraVed on the buyers of such booze have operated to rednce that business greatly. Those who in former years wanted their drink and would have It, one way 'or another will not now buy from bootleg, gers, even if that gentry had real whisky to bootleg, on account of the wood alcohol scare and the bogus substitutes that have been palmed off as whiskey on deluded worshippers of Bacchus. Robberies, however, continue in different parts of the State.Jin which whisky is stolen on ac count of its great value, or rather the great value placed upon it by its devotees. Many a private stock, laid away against the state and national drought, has been invaded by night intruders and either completely wiped out or greatly reduced. Distilleries in Kentucky, thru the connivance of employes, have been "robbed" and a number of prominent men in the business now are being prosecuted for having a part in some of these robberies." The lax enforcement of tbe iaw the first six months of war-time pro hibition by local authorities has given way to vigorous and watch ful enforcement on tbe part of federal officials under tho direc tion of ol tbe office of Prohibition Director, James H. Combs, not only in the mountains among tho moonshiners, but' in the cities of the State. The decision of tho Supreme Court of the United States in cases in which th t liquor people have resisted tho now prohlbl. tlon laws uniformly have upheld these laws, and tho decisions in the cases involving tbe validity ot the national amendment now pending aro awaited with consid erable interest, but with confi dence, by the prohibition advo cates. First violations of the provi sions of the law-enforcemont bill are punishable by a flue of $50 to $800 and imprisonment in jail for not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days. Second viol ations are punishable, by confine ment in tho penitentiary for not lesB than one nor moro than threa years, and for tho third violation the penalty is not less than five nor mere than ten years in the pwiltentlary. PRUNING AND SPRAYING The time is at band for all farmers who own fruit trees to prune and spray. March is one of the best months to do. this work. Pruning should be done before spraying, in order to save spraying material. 1'runo out all dead, broken, crossed and Injured wood. Thick bushy sec tions should be thtntud out so as to let son light In and plenty of air for circulation during the thick foliage period. Our quality and quantity of fruit depends on the care of our fruits and vines. Since Sao Jose Scale Is raging at a rapid rate in this section I would advise all farmers who have a few or many fruit trees or grape vines to spray during March with a lime-sul phur solution. Liquid form, 1 gal. to 8 gallons of water. Powder form, 1 pound to 4 gal lons f water. See to it that the trees or vines are thoroughly saturated witn the spray. If San Jose Scale is already present it would be wise to' spray twice thispriDg,janceJn .March and once before April 5. This spray solution of lime-sulphur not only controls San Jose Scale, but many other insects and dis eases. Do not spray when its freezing weather. SPRAY SCHEDULE FOR APPLES For San Jose Scale: 1 gallon commercial lime sul phur, 8 gallons of water, or 1 pound of powder form lime sulphur, 4 galloos of water. -'Applybefore- buua open "in growth starts. For Codling Moth: 1 gal. commercial lime-sulphur, to 30 gals of water and li lbs. of arsenate of had. If powder form lime-sulphur is used, make it 1 pound to 15 gallons of water. Apply just as bloom falls. For second hatch of Codling Moth Same spray as above, applied two weeks later. For Bitter Rot, Sooty Fungus, Black Rot, Etc. Same as for Codling Moth. Applied about Aug. 1st. In case Arsenate of lead paste is used, 3lbs. should be used instead of l lbs. If you dont know what your trees need or what insect or dis ease is working on them, use the first and last spray mentioned. All orchards need these two applications. Every farmer should own a spray pump. It should be used often in his garden and potato patch. The spray pump is not to bo used for orchard and grape vines and sot away but should be kept in good running order and well loaded with arsenate of lead or Paris Green for potato bugs when first discovered and this is IJUSUUB IUC W-". '.ip .--(,! ! A- A L.n nnt.dl ttocna U -rtll ivll the ground Tim bug Is goner-. ally waiting fo ihe potato. The melon vines nnd cucumber vines needs spraying also.

U18 AIM IN LIFE "I don't want to be an angel, And with the angels stand; I'd rather be a drum major Andlead tbe village band." TOBACCO and Its Culture By W. S. Baii.ky, Gauloy, Ky. The minds of tho tobacco grow, ers to never crowd your tobacco in your barns; that is do not try to put too much Inonobam, to do so you will sure have a lot of damaged tobacco, which will cut the general average of your crop down considerably. When your barn is filled, the next important factor is good ven tilation. I believe this is about the most essential part of a good quality, high priced tobacco crops. A barn full of tobacco has got to have plenty of good air to cure right. You can mane a row of ventilators in your barn roof, also you can have good ven tilation around the sides and ends of your barn by taking a boxing board or two together and hang them with a pair of small strap binges, then open these up every morning and close them at night. On rainy days leave them closed and if it should rain, say, five or six days on a straight you should get some heaters, "place them in the barn about tbe center and use char-coal-or.coke. If you can't-get-these use coal or wood. This will have a tendency to dry the tobacc out and keep it from fall ing off the stalk. Continue the above method of ventilation and drying if necessary until it is thoroubly cured up, then close your barn until you are ready to take it down to bulk for strip ping. The tobacco barn should be kept Very clean. Do now al low any loose leaves of tobacco, straw or trash to remain in the barn under your tobacco as this will have a tendency to injure I the quality of the tobacco. AIL manure should be named out on sonje thin places on the farm be fore the tobacco is housed. This will be a great help to your next year's crop and your tobacco will cure much better. Dnring the curing season, after a rain, whem the tobacco Is in case, you should go through your tobacco barn occasionally and evamine it and remove all fallen sticks, plants, or leaves that might have dropped and lodged on tbe tobac co or this will prove to bo very injurious to your crop if not re- moved. In regard to bulking to bacco down for stripping, never bulk it until it is thoroughly cures out, do not bulk it too dry, or too high incase. Bulk it down in case, always floor a place to bulk on whero it will not be exposed to the cold wiuds. HOP E WELL MissEflie Kirby spent Satur day night with her cousin.
