Tobacco industry notes and warehouse plans in Kentucky
Reports from Southwestern Kentucky describe ongoing tobacco belt depredations with beds scraped nightly in some counties. Large rewards offer no arrests. Growers receive notices not to plant tobacco, often with switches attached. A lot has been optioned in the city for a new Loose Leaf warehouse to be built within ten days, capable of handling about 200000 pounds daily. Promoters aim to establish a major market, with hopes Mr. Sterling will lead a top Kentucky tobacco market in 1913. Also urged is fertilizer use to boost yields, promising profits and modernization for the industry.

Kentucky hog raisers urged to adopt rape as pig feed
Farmers are advised to plant rape for hog feeding as a fattening option on clay soils. Rape can be sown by July 15 and cultivated lightly to avoid covering. Six weeks can yield pasture ready hogs, with some corn or roughage fed if grazing. Rape is presented as easier and cheaper than clover and may match or exceed clover gains.
