take a day off about Friday, Septem
ber 1, and lean across the fence for a
friendly talk with some of their neigh
bors, according to C. U. Jett, farm
management specialist of the college,
of agriculture.
However, the day isn't going to be a
holiday. There may be considerable
talking and explaining going on
among tnem before the day la over,
but tho chances are that the railroad
strike and its effect on farm prices
will not be mentioned. Instead the
farmers will spend the. day trying to
find out how the successful ' farmers
In thoir section of the state are mak
ing money in spite of the existing
conditions.
This will be done by means of an
all-day farm management tour, being
arranged by the college extension di
vision and County Agent H. F. McKen-
ney, which will take the interested
farmers to six profitable farms, five
of which are in Fleming county and
tho other in Masou county. Two
speeches, one by Dean Thomas P.
Cooper of the college, and tho other
by George Roberts, head of the col
lege agronomy department, are sched
uled to feature the days program.
They will be delivered during the
noon-hour stop which will be made at
the farm of George Hurst. The tour is
scheduled to start from Flemlngsburg
at 9 o'clock Friday morning and take
In the farms of E. F. Razor, J. W,
Shockley, George Hurst, C. L. Brad
ford and Frank Dye, all of Fleming
county, and John Hunter in Mason
county. Despite tho fact that the tour
is being arranged especially for farm
ers in Mason and Fleming countibs
those from several adjoining counties
are expected to Join in the trip In or
der to see how successful farmers
manage their business for a. profit.
The relation of crops and livestock,
the efficiency of horse and man labor,
tho value of keeping records and the
importance of doing as many odd lobs
as possible on rainy days together
with many other farm management
details will be explained by Mr. Jett
during the course of the tour In order
to show the farmers who take part In
the trip how they can increase the
profits from their own farms.
