May 17. — (U.R) — A wet track for the fifty-fifth running of the annual Kentucky derby was forecast today by E. A. Donnell, government | weather bureau director here. Donnell's report predicted increasing cloudiness toniglH with showers tomorrow morning. He said the area of rain was moving front the northeast to the southeast and might bring rain at the time of the start of the classic. Louisville, Ky., May 17.—(U.R) —The shrill whistling of steamboats calling I for anchorage through the early morning haze on the Ohio, the day long : rumble of arriving special trains and the swirl and jumble of traffic through the picturesque old streets of Louisville told today of the coming of the hosts of the turf world —owners. breeders, bookies, touts, and just plain folks who love a horse race — for the fifty-fifth running of the classic Kentucky Derby. In the barns and barber shops, along the streets and through the crowded hotel lobbies, and out a little ways from town in the broad, hospitable homes of the blue grass country, the talk was all of tomorrow's renewal of the greatest of all American turf classics, and of who would win. Folks fiom Memphis and St. Louis who came up on the river boats had their favorites, as did the smartly attired groups in special cars from New York and Chicago, and as did j the Kentucky mountaineer down from ' the hills to bet tbeir shirts on Col. E. R. Bradley's Blue Larkspur, the home bred favorite. “Going to the Derby" these days is quite an elaborate affair, one that calls for hostesses and all manner of | added attractions. Miss Lucky Cooke, hostess on the Pennsylvania Special arriving here shortly before noon, has been conducting parties to the Kentucky Derby for many years. She picks Blue Larkspur. Undoubtedly, the Bradley colt will be the popular favorite as well as first choice in the betting. Some of the noted derby enthusiasts who arrived today on special or private trains were Paul Block, publisher, Alvin Untermeyer of New York, Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilt and Mrs. L. G. Kaufman, wife of the New York banker. From Chicago came Sammy Woo’.f. so- called “Mayor of Clark street,” with the sporting element from the windy city. Baron Leng, of San Diego, headed the far western delegation of sportsmen into Louisville and was around giving his friends a tip on Ervast, his entry, which is fourth choice in the betting. Kentuckians, of course, will hear of nothing but Blue Larkspur. Yet turf experts insist that the race is “open.” There is strong support for Clyde Van Dusen, which will be ridden by L. McAtee, while if Naishapur, the third choice, should win. Jack Demptey will receive SIO,OOO from the bookies. The ex-champion wagered on the Wilshire colt in the winter I books, receiving the satisfactory odds of 60 to 1. The best that can be obtained against Naishapur now is 6 to 1. In all, the crowd at the Dowps to-mn--o’" afternoon will number about KM),000 provided the weather is fine. Churchill Downs, with its rippling blue grass infield, sparkling little ponds upon which white swans glide unconcernedly about, and its halt mile of grandstands, need a canopy of clear sky to make the setting for the derby complete. The possibility of rain and subsequent mud, however, is not alarming backers of the favorite, for Blue Larkspur recently orked a mile and a furlong In soft going in the credit able time of two minutes flat. Col. Matt Winn, genial host to the derby throng, is optimistic about the weather, and sipring finery along the streets of Louisville indicates that others are, too. o Cat the Habit—Traae at Home, It Pays

TO MAKE CORN ; TEST IN COUNTY s ’ , F. E. Christen, Adams county agricultural agent, recently received samples of three different varieties of improved seed corn from Purdue (I University, which will he tried out on : Otto D. Bieberich's farm in Kirkland I township, this year, in comparison • with each other and two of the best local varieties available. In addition to five promising varI ietles of corn, five different kinds of fertilizer treatment on corn will be tested on the same farm. The fertilizer tests is designed to show which of the three principal plant foods, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash or combinations of these is the most essential, with special reference to the effect in hastening maturity.
