The divisions are: Bureau of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics; Labor; Live Stock Sanitation; Stud, Jack and Bull Registration; Immigration; State Fair; Dog Licensing; Veterinary Examiners, and State Forestry. The general purpose of the various divisions of the Department of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics is to help promote more efficient and economical methods of production, to encourage the production of better quality live stock and to safeguard the health of domestic animals, that form a large part of agricultural income; to encourage better methods of soil fertility, and to present these ideas in such form and through such means as will produce direct results. It has been the policy of the present Commissioner to enlarge on the activities of the Department, by co-operating with other agencies, and by enlarging present activities so far as the appropriation made to the Department would permit. As an example, the demand for agricultural limestone has grown so rapidly that now the Department operates seven pulverizing outfits in various parts of the State; as against five and six in former years. The field force of the Dog license law has been increased from two to three field men, caused by the growth of the sheep industry in the State in recent years. In the Department of Live Stock Sanitation we are making rapid and substantial progress; fifty-three counties have now been once tested and twenty-eight counties are Modified accredited areas; from July 1, 1927 to July 1, 1929, the force of field men in this department have tested 162,504 head of cattle, and dipped 66,765 head of sheep and inspected 851,040 head of sheep. Some work has been done in Avian tuberculosis as well as work in the line of hog tuberculosis and hog cholera. In the Department of Agricultural Statistics, not so much has been done as is being done by some other of our neighboring states, due largely to the fact that through limited appropriation, we have not been able to maintain a separate force for this work; but have been accorded substantial help through the Federal Department of Agri- culture, State Geological Survey and Department of Mines. The Immigration Division has been conducted with the services of an assistant only, the main activities of the directorship being carried by the Commissioner’s office, during the past two-year period. The Department of Labor has been re-organized with a new and full time force, who are conscientious in their efforts to improve labor 10 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE * conditions especially in the shops and factories of the State, as well as in every industrial vocation in which women and children are em- ployed. To meet the growing demand upon this department the appro- priation should be at least doubled. The Forestry Department is receiving more recognition from the public than ever before, and the line of work promulgated through this organization is one that, while by its very nature is slow, is de- stined to become more popular and remunerative to those who co- operate and practice its teachings as time goes on. Marked improvement has been made in the physical equipment such as the nursery located on the Kentucky State Fair Grounds, which in the past biennium furnished over 200,000 seedlings for planting on worn-out farm lands, in parks, on school grounds, and along the public highways of the State. Four fire towers have been erected in the past biennium in the eastern timbered section of the State for the detection of forest fires. These fire towers, with others erected in the past, help to protect one-half million acres of timber- land from fire, and fifty miles of telephone communications have been established connecting the fire towers and forest wardens into one immense operating unit. There is noticeably growing a feeling of confidence in the Forest Service, a feeling that after all growing and protecting timber is the same as growing and protecting an agricultural crop, only on an en- larged scale. Tobacco is one of Kentucky’s leading agricultural crops and the department prides itself on procuring the most accurate and de- pendable report in this line of any state in the Union. Stud, bull and jack licenses have increased from year to year, and while the Kentucky law does not require the licensing of only pure bred sires, it affords an accurate idea of the number of each in service in the State; and through the campaign conducted by the College of Agriculture and other agencies cooperating with this department, the use of the scrub sire is being rapidly eliminated. Kentucky claims the distinction of having three of the counties in the U. S. that have no scrub sires. The Kentucky State Fair has made rapid and marked progress within the past two years, and is now in the class of the most progressive State Fairs in America, but is yet greatly handicapped for sufficient funds for plant equipment and premium funds. In reviewing the activities of the department in the past eighteen months, I can say as Commissioner that every plan and policy under- taken by me has been loyally supported by every member of the de- partment as well as the College of Agriculture, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the city and rural press, business men, bankers, civic and luncheon clubs, county agents and vocational leaders and local officials, the various branches of the State Department and farmers of the State of Kentucky. Division of Tobacco Statistics NEWTON BRIGHT, Commissioner PATTERSON GOUGH, Statistician Kentucky’s tobacco crop ranks at the top of its agricultural pro- ducts, and due to its importance as a cash money crop, the value of reliable information to the Kentucky farmer is very important. This report is issued monthly, beginning with the opening of the season about December Jst, each year and continues throughout the selling season which usually closes in May of the following year. This in- formation is published monthly through the daily and rural press and is largely sought by the growers as well as the manufacturers. Below is given in detail the sales of each type sold in Kentucky from July, 1927, to July, 1929.

Seven outfits each consisting of pulverizer and tractor, are now operating in the State under direct supervision of srateiel mechanics hired by this Department who work in each county in ; conjunction with the County Agents. The Department furnishes the outfit, mechanic and repairs. The farmers furnish gas, oil and.labor for handling stone and board of, mechanic. It has been the policy to send these outfits into sections where the greatest educational benefits may be obtained, and to limit the output for each farmer to a 1easonable amount so that a greater num- ber can be served within a limited time and in no way conflict with persons who may be operating commercial outfits. We feel that the cost with which we are furnishing this work to the farmers of the State is very reasonable and from increased yields derived from the use of agricultural limestone, we congratulate our- selves in giving a satisfactory return to the tax payers on the invest- ment. 14.

Agricultural Statistics NEWTON BRIGHT, Commissioner The collection of agricultural statistics by counties is an item of grave importance and very definite value. By proper county statistics the progress made by individual counties can be definitely ascertained in any particular line. For example the advance made from year to year in the increased number of any particular line of live stock, or increased acreage of any given crop, could be easily ascertained if sufficient funds were available to employ clerical help to assemble such information. In the absence of such provision only such statis- tics. are disseminated as are available through the agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the College of Agriculture and through the peencies now collecting certain data in this department. This department is supplanting this form of work by the issuance of bulletins from time to time giving in general terms the agricultural and industrial resources and possibilities of the State, with statistical figures relative to the number and growth of agricultural and indus- trial enterprises. Notable among such publications is a pamphlet called “Agricultural and Industrial Kentucky,” which gives in definite and concrete form, area of State, number and value of farms, value of agricultural products, number of industries in principal cities, value of minerals, miles of highways, historical data and points of general interest. “Little Stories of Kentucky Farms” is a pamphlet that has created favorable comment in that it gives definite and reliable examples of profit by individual farmers, who have engaged in definite lines of agri- cultural pursuit. The ‘Marketing Exchange Bulletin” issued semi-monthly, with a circulation of 22,500 each issue, not only provides a medium of ex- change between the farmers of the State for agricultural products, im- plements and farm machinery, but carries in each issue practical thoughts and suggestions from farm papers and reliable bulletins, in- cluding the monthly reports of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, as well as tobacco reports when in season. Your Commissioner feels that such means of publicity are both progressive and modern and fill in a large measure the place of more definite statistical information, which can be gathered from other de- partments of State and the Federal Government. 20 BIHKNNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE KENTUCKY ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, 1928. ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates The total farm value of the principal farm crops in Kentucky, in- cluding apples, peaches, and pears, was approximately $189,065,000 in 1928 compared to $158,300,000 in 1927, an increase of approximately $30,765,000 or about 19 per cent, according -to the 1928 annual crop summary issued by the Louisville office of the U. S. Division of Crop and Live Stock Estimates. Increased price and production of tobacco accounts for nearly all the increased value of Kentucky’s crops in 1928 over 1927, giving about $29,544,000 increase out of the total gain of $30,765,000 in the value of the State’s chief crops. The total acreage of this State’s principal field crops, not includ- ing orchards, was about one and eight tenths per cent more in 1928 than in 1927, or 5,348,000 acres in 1928 and 5,254,000 acres in 1927. In- creased total crop value compared to 1927 was produced by Kentucky’s 1928 crops of tobacco, total hay, oats, buckwheat, sorghum sirup, apples, peaches, and pears; but decreased total crop value was pro- duced by corn, wheat, rye, barley, Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, cot- ton, and grain of cowpeas and soybeans either gathered as grain or grazed off. Tobacco was Kentucky’s most valuable crop in 1928, and corn in 1927. The estimate of the total value of this State’s 1928 tobacco crop, subject to revision if price changes, etc., require it, is $72,893,000 com- pared to $43,349,000 in 1927, while the State’s corn crop of 1928 was worth $63,972,000 compared to $66,009,000 in 1927. Kentucky’s total tobacco production in 1928 was about 306,000,000 of all types together compared to 202,269,000 pounds in 1927. Types of which the producing areas lie either partly or wholly within Kentucky and which therefore are of direct interest to Kentucky growers, are estimated as follows, by entire type areas, regardless of state boundaries; burley 1928, 269,- 469,000 lbs.; 1927, 180,197,000 lbs.; Green river air cured, from both Owensboro and Henderson districts, 1928, 24,500,000 Ibs.; 1927, 18,110,- 000 Ibs.; one-sucker, 1928, 22,086,000 lbs.; 1927, 13,056,000 lbs.; fired tobacco from Henderson “stemming” district, 1928, 5,500,000 lbs.; 1927, 4,200,000 lbs.; Hopkinsville-Clarksville-Springfield dark fired’ type, 1928, 82,300,000 lbs.; 1927, 63,000,000 lbs.; and Paducah-Mayfield dark fired type, 1928, 30,700,000 Ibs.; 1927, 18,000,000 lbs. The values of some other Kentucky crops were: wheat, 1928, $1,270,000; 1927, $3,796,000; oats, 1928, $4,520,000; 1927, $2,451,000; Irish potatoes, 1928, $4,788,000; 1927, $6,152,000; sweet potatoes, 1928, $1,433,000, 1927, $1,786,000; all hay, 1928, $28,066,000, 1927, $27,620,000; sorghum sirup, 1928, $2,878,- 000, 1927, $2,616,000; total apples, 1928, $5,700,000, 1927, $1,296,000.

United States Department of Agriculture. Division of Crop and Livestock Estimates KENTUCKY ANNUAL LIVE STOCK SUMMARY, 1929 (Data for all given years as January 1). ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Total live stock on Kentucky farms January 1, 1929, was worth about 3 per cent more than one year ago, but more than 37 per cent less than the high point January 1, 1920, according to the annual live stock summary of the Louisville office of the United States Division of Crop and Live Stock Estimates based on numbers and values as of January 1, 1929. The value of all horses, mules, cattle, sheep, and 22 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE swine on Kentucky farms January 1, 1929, is estimated to be approxi- mately $108,660,000 compared to $100,475,000 January 1, 1928, $86,795,- 000 January 1, 1927, and $165,703,000 January 1, 1920. Compared to the estimates for January 1, 1928, this year’s esti- mates indicate Kentucky prices for all swine averaged $1.40 a head lower than a year ago and $5.98 a head lower than two years ago, but prices of all other kinds of farm live stock were higher than a year ago. Numbers of hogs on Kentucky farms have decreased sharply from a year ago; numbers of horses and mules have decreased slightly; numbers of milk cows and of total cattle have remained stationary; and numbers of sheep, and of heifers between one and two years old being kept for milk cows, have increased. This estimate gives the numbers of live stock on farms in Ken- tucky January 1, 1929, as follows: Horses and colts 278,000; mules and mule colts 292,000; cows and heifers two years old and over kept for milk cows 495,000; heifers one to two years old kept for milk cows 69,000; total cattle and calves including cows and heifers kept for milk 955,000; sheep and lambs 996,000; and swine of all ages 826,000. The average farm value of horses and colts in Kentucky January 1, 1929, was $56 compared to $53 January 1, 1928; mules $69 compared to $67; total cattle (including milk cows) $52 compared to $46.90; milk cows $65 compared to $60; sheep and lambs $11.40 per head compared to $11.20; and swine of all ages $8.40 per head compared to $9.80. The following table gives numbers and value of live stock on farms January 1, in Kentucky in 1929, 1928, 1927, and 1920. H. F.

Division of Dog Licensing JOE E. PHILLIPS, Director The dog license law went into effect on January 1, 1919, and was enacted for the puryose of protecting the Live Stock industry and doing away with homeless and useless dogs. The license fee was made very nominal, $2.00 for female and $1.00 for male dogs. In addition to this a kennel license was provided for those who maintained kennels. The kennel fee is $10.00 for ten or less dogs and $25.00 for a kennel of more than ten dogs. The dogs are listed by the County Tax Commissioners, who receive five (5c) cents for each dog listed. The County Court Clerk issues the licenses and receives fifteen (15c) cents for each license issued. The Department of Agriculture receives five (5%) per cent of each license issued for administration of this act and the expenses attached thereto. The balance of all money received by the county court clerk after pay- ing for license books, tags and expenses for enforcement is put into the county Live Stock Fund and is used for the payment of claims for damages to live stock and poultry. After all claims are paid, if there is any money left in the Live Stock Fund, it reverts to the County School Fund of that respective county. This fund is the only form of insurance whereby the owner of live stock and poultry is protected from huge losses annually, and without the dog law the losses of sheep growers especially would be so great that within a few years the industry would practically be discontinued in Kentucky. During the Fiscal year ending July 1, 1928, Kentucky licensed 110,841 dogs, and during the Fiscal year ending July 1, 1929, there were licensed in this state 123,604 dogs. Prior to the passage of the dog law the farmers whose stock and poultry were damaged and killed by ravenous dogs had little or no recourse, due to the fact that the dog owner was usually insolvent or unknown. Under the present law any person whose stock or poultry is maimed or killed by dogs, upon filing a claim and having damages appraised as required by law, is entitled to indemnity from the county live stock fund to cover his losses. The dog license law has acted as a stimulus to stockmen, and more especially to the sheep breeders of the state and this industry is growing steadily, not only in central Kentucky but in the eastern and western parts of the state where the farmers are realizing they have this protection. On the first of July, 1927, there was a balance of $9,490.41 in the dog fund of the state, on July 1, 1928, the balance was $7,500.31 and the first of July, 1929, the balance was $3,769.48. It is easy to see that if there had not been a reserve in the dog fund that the work of en- LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 25 i rm h forcement could not have gone on. The expense of this department in enforcing this law has been greater than ever before as there are three men working in the field whereas there had only been two up until January 1, 1928. Due to the growing demand all over the state that the dog law be enforced and with the tendency of a great many of the county officials to shirk the responsibility of enforcement and shifting it all on the State Department this extra man had to be put to work in the field. Owing to the above conditions and the condition of the State’s Dog Fund at the present time and to the importance of this law to the Live Stock Industry of the state I would suggest that the Legislature amend Section No. 32 of the Dog Law and provide that the Commis sioner of Agriculture be given ten (10%) per cent instead of five (5%) per cent for enforcement purposes. Below we submit the amount of the dog fund as collected and dis- bursements made for the past two fiscal years: FROM JULY 1, 1927 TO JULY 1, 1928 Receips July 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928 $9,490.41 Cash balance July 1. 6,439.15 Receipts during year from 5% fee.

This soon becomes assimilated with native citizenship, and soon becomes naturalized. The more modern definition and meaning of immigration is the influx of the American citizenship into our State from other States, seeking either industrial positions and locations or for the purpose of engaging in agricultural pursuits. This being the conception of the meaning of the law, I, as your Commissioner, have used this appropriation toward the publica- tion of such material as would induce desirable native immigrants to come into our State with the idea of making Kentucky their future home, and at the same time, locate in such localities as would best suit their former occupation, and conform to their financial ability. The Assistant Commissioner, through the columns of the Ex- change bulletin and with other literature gotten out by the Department of Agriculture, handles such inquiries and has rendered valuable service along this line. Within the past eighteen months inquiries have come from many States, all of which have been answered. Numerous inquiries have come from parts of the State seeking information relative to other parts of the State. While most of the inquiries are concerning agriculture, many of them are relative to out- door life, business opportunities, touring information, etc. Many publications are used from the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Kentucky Highway Department, State Geological Survey, State College of Agriculture and Kentucky Progress Commission. To all of which we wish to express our debt of gratitude. Division of Stud License JOE E. PHILLIPS, Statistician The law governing this department provides that the number of each shall be given and that the owner of any stallion, jack or bull shall pay to the Commissioner of Agriculture a fee of One ($1.00) Dollar for registration purposes and this shall be used for administra- tion purposes and any unexpended balance shall revert to the premium fund of the Kentucky State Fair, and in addition to the One ($1.00) Dollar paid the Commissioner for administration purposes an addi- tional fee shall be paid the State Auditor of Twenty (20%) per cent of the highest service fee charged, but in no case shall the fee paid to the Auditor be less than One ($1.00) Dollar for a Bull or Ten ($10.00) Dollars for a Jack or Stallion, all of which fee plus a fee to the county court clerk for issuing the license is paid to the county court clerk who at the end of each month deposits the money collected with the State Auditor and Commissioner of Agriculture. All money deposited with the Auditor is kept in a Special Fund and paid upon requisition of the Commissioner of Agriculture upon the Auditor to the treasurer 0? the Kentucky State Fair. Below we submit the amount of each fund as collected, disburse- ments made and the amount remitted for each year to the Kentucky State Fair Premium Fund. The number of Jacks, Stallions and Bulls in each county has been omitted from this report but may be ascer- tained from files in the Commissioner’s office. This is done with the idea of curtailing expense of report. STUD LICENSE FUND July 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928.

KAY, Secretary The State Board of Veterinary Examiners was primarily organized to conduct examinations of persons desiring to practice as veterinar- ians. Its other duties are: to register annually all licensed veterinar- ians; to suspend or revoke the license of all those who prove unfit for their duties; to institute legal proceedings when necessary in any county where individuals are practicing veterinary medicine illegally, whenever complaint is made; and generally, to protect live stock in- terests of the Commonwealth from incompetent and improper treat- ment. Organization of Board. The Board is composed of five members, consisting of the Commis- sioner of Agriculture and four veterinarians. The Board acts as a trial board in all hearings brought before it. In the event legal advice is necessary, this is furnished by the Attorney General. The Commis- sioner of Agriculture acts as President, and a veterinarian acts as Secretary-Treasurer. The Secretary-Treasurer keeps all records, handles the correspondence, and collects all fees. The moneys col- lected for license renewals and examination fees are sufficient to meet the expenses of the Board, so that no appropriation from other sources is necessary. Meetings. Meetings are held on last Monday in August of each year for the purpose of conducting examinations, and at such other times as are necessary to properly conduct the business of the Board. At the annual examination held August 27, 1928, there were two applicants. At the annual examination held August 26, 1929, there were seven ap- plicants. The examinations are written and consist of questions upon the following subjects: Anatomy, Surgery and Dentistry, Physiology, Ob- stetrics, Pathology, Bacteriology, Diagnosis and Practice, Therapeutics, Materia Medica, Hygiene, Meat and Milk Inspection. The applicant’s questions and answers with grades attached are kept on file for one year. The examination each year is made progressively more difficult, in order to keep pace with the advancement being made in veterinary education, as well as to supply the live stock industry with better vet- erinary services. It is the constant endeavor of the Board to raise the qualifications for practitioners as much as possible. Register and License Renewal. A register is kept by the Secretary showing the name, date when license was issued and address of all who are licensed. Changes are LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 31 noted as they occur. Licenses are renewed annually, and letters to license holders are sent out each year in advance of the date licenses are due, notifying them accordingly. When the fee is returned a renewal certificate is issued, which is good for one year, expiring July 1 of each year. There were 327 veterinarians licensed to practice in 1928; and 313 licenses in force in 1929. Publications. As often as required a bulletin is prepared giving the essentials of the veterinary law. The bulletin contains the names of all veterinar- ians in good standing arranged alphabetically. Copies of this bulletin are available upon application to the Secretary. Correspondence. Complaints are frequently received from stock owners and veteri- narians regarding persons practicing illegally. In most cases a letter from the Secretary requesting the discontinuance of such practice has been sufficient, but in some instances it has been necessary to insti- tute legal proceedings in the county in which the offense was com- mitted. When necessary the Secretary appears in person with his records to assist the legal authorities. Frequent inquiries from veteri- narians in other states in regard to our veterinary laws are answered. Some of these men anticipate a less stringent law in this State, and others expect to enter without an examination. Undoubtedly, our law keeps out some who are not making good as practitioners elsewhere. Association Meetings. During 1928-1929 various members of the Board have attended the annual meetings of the American Veterinary Medical Association as well as the semi-annual meetings of the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association. These meetings are attended at the personal expense of the members. KENTUCKY STATE FAIR A. L. & S.—2 “Me 9}VIS AYONUIM “Ss6T UL pazatdwoy yuQ puooses ‘Suripring Aang 000‘ORS AMIN The Division ot State Fair NEWTON BRIGHT, Chairman, State Board of Agriculture TATE BIRD, Secretary, Kentucky State Fair Pursuant to Chapter 119C, Acts of 1906, page 385: “An annual State Fair for the exhibition of agricultural, mechanical, horticultural, dairy, forestry, live stock, mineral and all other industrial interests of the State be, and the same is hereby created, to be known as the Kentucky State Fair.” From the passage of that Act it has been the purpose of the State Board of Agriculture in conjunction with each Commissioner of Agri- culture, who by virtue of his office is Chairman of said Board, to stimulate interest and to enlarge the activities of each of the divisions enumerated in that Act. Kentucky has been slow to visualize the veal worth of such an institution to the growth and prosperity of the State, but due to the untiring zeal of devoted and conscientious mem- bers of the Board and other enthusiastic Kentuckians, positive and advanced progress has been made and today the institution and its purposes are more deeply rooted in the minds of Kentuckians than ever before. During the past two years it has been the object of the manage- ment to constantly increase the educational and recreational value of the Fair, and at the same time to conduct it along the best and most modern business lines. An effort has been made, on the part of the management, to encourage Industrial and Manufacturing enterprises to patronize the Fair by making exhibits in the Agricultural, Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ Building, whereby the people may become better acquainted with the State’s resources. A similar effort has been exerted with good results to encourage the Woman’s Agencies and Departments of State to take space in the building that their activities may become better known. Among those that are now co- operating may be mentioned: Kentucky Highway Department, State Labor Department, State Park Commission, Kentucky Geological Sur- vey, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky Forest Service—which has just completed a new $8,000.00 building from logs cut from the Kentucky State Forest Preserve. These exhibitions in conjunction with our manufactural exhibits is giving the State an advertisement really worth while and will result in a marked improvement in its general development. One of the factors which has contributed to the Fair’s progress has been the hearty co-operation given by the Luncheon Clubs, Board of Trade and individual business men of the City of Louisville. The city and rural press has been liberal in its support of the Fair, as have the radio stations of Louisville.

PLANT IMPROVEMENTS In 1926 and 1927 thru an appropriation of $25,000.00 for each year, needed improvements were made on the grand stand, new sewers, water mains, drinking fountains and first unit of poultry building were constructed from this fund. The Legislature of 1928 made an annual appropriation for the fiscal years (July 1, 1928 to July 1, 1930 (of $40,- 000.00 for permanent improvements. Out of this fund $29,359.00 was spent for second unit of poultry building, sheep barn and horse barn, new entrance, new fence and sewerage as per statement made as part of this report. Balance of the $40,000.00 apropriated was expended after July 1, 1929, for hog barn, horse barn and barber shop and will show in next biennial report. Until 1928 there was not a shower bath on the ground, but at the present time twelve such baths have been installed and add greatly to the comfort and convenience of visiting showmen and herdsmen. A new and sanitary barber shop and bath house is now operated at a nominal charge for convenience of the public. ATTENDANCE AND EXHIBITS The attendance at the Fair is greatly governed by weather and financial conditions of the country. For the past two years drouth has been prevalent in a great portion of the State and returns from agricultural crops have been below normal. In 1929 rain for the greater part of two days greatly curtailed the attendance. The ex- hibits in most departments have shown a gradual increase; especially was this so in 1929 in the dairy cattle, hog and sheep departments. All space in the Agricultural, Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Building was taken and the first Auto Show and Aircrafts Exhibit was held. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE One of the outstanding needs of the present is a dormitory to care for the 4H and Vocational Club boys’ and girls’ activities. Additional hog barns should be erected to supplant the old and unsanitary and uncomfortable ones now in use. Additional sheep barns are needed. Kentucky is rapidly developing as a lamb and wool-producing State and many notable herds of pure-bred sheep are being developed. Division of Stud License JOE E. PHILLIPS, Statistician The law governing this department provides that the number of each shall be given and that the owner of any stallion, jack or bull shall pay to the Commissioner of Agriculture a fee of One ($1.00) Dollar for registration purposes and this shall be used for administra- tion purposes and any unexpended balance shall revert to the premium fund of the Kentucky State Fair, and in addition to the One ($1.00) Dollar paid the Commissioner for administration purposes an addi- tional fee shall be paid the State Auditor of Twenty (20%) per cent of the highest service fee charged, but in no case shall the fee paid to the Auditor be less than One ($1.00) Dollar for a Bull or Ten ($10.00) Dollars for a Jack or Stallion, all of which fee plus a fee to the county court clerk for issuing the license is paid to the county court clerk who at the end of each month deposits the money collected with the State Auditor and Commissioner of Agriculture. All money deposited with the Auditor is kept in a Special Fund and paid upon requisition of the Commissioner of Agriculture upon the Auditor to the treasurer 0? the Kentucky State Fair. Below we submit the amount of each fund as collected, disburse- ments made and the amount remitted for each year to the Kentucky State Fair Premium Fund. The number of Jacks, Stallions and Bulls in each county has been omitted from this report but may be ascer- tained from files in the Commissioner’s office. This is done with the idea of curtailing expense of report. STUD LICENSE FUND July 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928.

KAY, Secretary The State Board of Veterinary Examiners was primarily organized to conduct examinations of persons desiring to practice as veterinar- ians. Its other duties are: to register annually all licensed veterinar- ians; to suspend or revoke the license of all those who prove unfit for their duties; to institute legal proceedings when necessary in any county where individuals are practicing veterinary medicine illegally, whenever complaint is made; and generally, to protect live stock in- terests of the Commonwealth from incompetent and improper treat- ment. Organization of Board. The Board is composed of five members, consisting of the Commis- sioner of Agriculture and four veterinarians. The Board acts as a trial board in all hearings brought before it. In the event legal advice is necessary, this is furnished by the Attorney General. The Commis- sioner of Agriculture acts as President, and a veterinarian acts as Secretary-Treasurer. The Secretary-Treasurer keeps all records, handles the correspondence, and collects all fees. The moneys col- lected for license renewals and examination fees are sufficient to meet the expenses of the Board, so that no appropriation from other sources is necessary. Meetings. Meetings are held on last Monday in August of each year for the purpose of conducting examinations, and at such other times as are necessary to properly conduct the business of the Board. At the annual examination held August 27, 1928, there were two applicants. At the annual examination held August 26, 1929, there were seven ap- plicants. The examinations are written and consist of questions upon the following subjects: Anatomy, Surgery and Dentistry, Physiology, Ob- stetrics, Pathology, Bacteriology, Diagnosis and Practice, Therapeutics, Materia Medica, Hygiene, Meat and Milk Inspection. The applicant’s questions and answers with grades attached are kept on file for one year. The examination each year is made progressively more difficult, in order to keep pace with the advancement being made in veterinary education, as well as to supply the live stock industry with better vet- erinary services. It is the constant endeavor of the Board to raise the qualifications for practitioners as much as possible. Register and License Renewal. A register is kept by the Secretary showing the name, date when license was issued and address of all who are licensed. Changes are LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 31 noted as they occur. Licenses are renewed annually, and letters to license holders are sent out each year in advance of the date licenses are due, notifying them accordingly. When the fee is returned a renewal certificate is issued, which is good for one year, expiring July 1 of each year. There were 827 veterinarians licensed to practice in 1928; and 313 licenses in force in 1929. Publications. As often as required a bulletin is prepared giving the essentials of the veterinary law. The bulletin contains the names of all veterinar- ians in good standing arranged alphabetically. Copies of this bulletin are available upon application to the Secretary. Correspondence. Complaints are frequently received from stock owners and veteri- narians regarding persons practicing illegally. In most cases a letter from the Secretary requesting the discontinuance of such practice has been sufficient, but in some instances it has been necessary to insti- tute legal proceedings in the county in which the offense was com- mitted. When necessary the Secretary appears in person with his records to assist the legal authorities. Frequent inquiries from veteri- narians in other states in regard to our veterinary laws are answered. Some of these men anticipate a less stringent law in this State, and others expect to enter without an examination. Undoubtedly, our law keeps out some who are not making good as practitioners elsewhere. Association Meetings. During 1928-1929 various members of the Board have attended the annual meetings of the American Veterinary Medical Association as well as the semi-annual meetings of the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association. These meetings are attended at the personal expense of the members. KENTUCKY STATE FAIR A. L. & 5.2 “HRA 81VIS AYonJVOM “SsGL UL payatdwuoyg wu puossg ‘Surpring Antnog 000‘GRs MAN The Division ot State Fair NEWTON BRIGHT, Chairman, State Board of Agriculture TATE BIRD, Secretary, Kentucky State Fair Pursuant to Chapter 119C, Acts of 1906, page 385: “An annual State Fair for the exhibition of agricultural, mechanical, horticultural, dairy, forestry, live stock, mineral and all other industrial interests of the State be, and the same is hereby created, to be known as the Kentucky State Fair.” From the passage of that Act it has been the purpose of the State Board of Agriculture in conjunction with each Commissioner of Agri- culture, who by virtue of his office is Chairman of said Board, to stimulate interest and to enlarge the activities of each of the divisions enumerated in that Act. Kentucky has been slow to visualize the real worth of such an institution to the growth and prosperity of the State, but due to the untiring zeal of devoted and conscientious mem- bers of the Board and other enthusiastic Kentuckians, positive and advanced progress has been made and today the institution and its purposes are more deeply rooted in the minds of Kentuckians than ever before. During the past two years it has been the object of the manage- ment to constantly increase the educational and recreational value of the Fair, and at the same time to conduct it along the best and most modern business lines. An effort has been made, on the part of the management, to encourage Industrial and Manufacturing enterprises to patronize the Fair by making exhibits in the Agricultural, Mer- chants’ and Manufacturers’ Building, whereby the people may become better acquainted with the State’s resources. A similar effort has been exerted with good results to encourage the Woman’s Agencies and Departments of State to take space in the building that their activities may become better known. Among those that are now co- operating may be mentioned: Kentucky Highway Department, State Labor Department, State Park Commission, Kentucky Geological Sur- vey, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky Forest Service—which has just completed a new $2,000.00 building from logs cut from the Kentucky State Forest Preserve. These exhibitions in conjunction with our manufactural exhibits is giving the State an advertisement really worth while and will result in a marked improvement in its general development. One of the factors which has contributed to the Fair’s progress has been the hearty co-operation given by the Luncheon Clubs, Board of Trade and individual business men of the City of Louisville. The city and rural press has been liberal in its support of the Fair, as have the radio stations of Louisville.

PLANT IMPROVEMENTS In 1926 and 1927 thru an appropriation of $25,000.00 for each year, needed improvements were made on the grand stand, new sewers, water mains, drinking fountains and first unit of poultry building were constructed from this fund. The Legislature of 1928 made an annual appropriation for the fiscal years (July 1, 1928 to July 1, 1930 (of .$40,- 000.00 for permanent improvements. Out of this fund $29,359.00 was spent for second unit of poultry building, sheep barn and horse barn, new entrance, new fence and sewerage as per statement made as part of this report. Balance of the $40,000.00 apropriated was expended after July 1, 1929, for hog barn, horse barn and barber shop and will show in next biennial report. Until 1928 there was not a shower bath on the ground, but at the present time twelve such baths have been installed and add greatly to the comfort and convenience of visiting showmen and herdsmen. A new and sanitary barber shop and bath house is now operated at a nominal charge for convenience of the public. ATTENDANCE AND EXHIBITS The attendance at the Fair is greatly governed by weather and financial conditions of the country. For the past two years drouth has been prevalent in a great portion of the State and returns from agricultural crops have been below normal. In 1929 rain for the greater part of two days greatly curtailed the attendance. The ex- hibits in most departments have shown a gradual increase; especially was this so in 1929 in the dairy cattle, hog and sheep departments. All space in the Agricultural, Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Building was taken and the first Auto Show and Aircrafts Exhibit was held. PLANS FOR THE FUTURE One of the outstanding needs of the present is a dormitory to care for the 4H and Vocational Club boys’ and girls’ activities. Additional hog barns should be erected to supplant the old and unsanitary and uncomfortable ones now in use. Additional sheep barns are needed. Kentucky is rapidly developing as a lamb and wool-producing State and many notable herds of pure-bred sheep are being developed. -88 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE APPROPRIATIONS MADE TO KENTUCKY STATE FAIR Since Organization in 1906 1908 State of Kentucky $40,000 1908 Citizens of Louisville and Jefferson County.........-..-..--------- 165,000 1912 State of Kentucky 56,000 1924 State of Kentucky 10,000 1926 State of Kentucky 25,000 1927 State of Kentucky 25,000 1928 State of Kentucky 20,000 1929 State of Kentucky 20,000 Total Appropriations $361,000 Below you will find an appraisal of the Kentucky State Fair’s property: No. Amount Item 1 $240,000.00 2 275,000.00 3 180,000.00 4 80,000.00 5 15,000.00 6 2,500.00 4q 400.00 8 5,000.00 9 10,000.00 10 10,000.00 11 1,200.00 12 1,800.00 Land Valuation—150 acres at $1,600 per acre Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Building Kentucky Live Stock Pavilion Grand Stand Thirteen one-story frame composition roof build- ings, and their additions, including electric light apparatus and occupied as Horse Barns.

SEILLER CHIEF LABOR INSPECTOR “UBT 97839 Ayonyuay ye yreqyxgp juaUyTedsaq atoqey avg Letter of Transmittal July 1, 1929. Hon. Newton Bright, Commissioner of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics. Sirt— In accordance with Section 9 of Chapter 68 of the Acts of 1924, we respectfully transmit herewith a report of the administration of the Department of Labor for the calendar year 1928 and for the fiscal year 1929, ending June 30. The previous policy of this department has been to compile bien- nial reports for the calendar year ending December 31. This proce dure involved much diificulty in preparing the records of the depart- mental activities for the General Assembly, since the report had to cover the biennial period which ends on the odd calendar year just before the convening of the General Assembly in January. When this matter was brought to your attention on March 14, you instructed the department, March 18, to render in the future, a biennial report for the fiscal year ending June 30. The present report, because of this change in method, covers a period of eighteen months. Future reports will include a full two years period. The department has adhered to the policies and program outlined by you at the outset of your administration and we feel that as the result thereof that efficient work has been performed in the adminis- tration and enforcement of the laws under our jurisdiction. Staff Two of our former inspectors were transferred and promoted to a more lucrative inspectorship in the Department of Fire Prevention and Rates. Their training and duties performed while with the de- partment makes them valuable employees to the Department of Fire Prevention and Rates. My tenure of office as Chief Labor Inspector, together with two of our Deputy Inspectors, expired July 15, 1928. The expiration of these terms created vacancies in the entire inspectorial staff. Pursuant to Section 2, 3 and 4, of Chapter 68 of the Acts of 1924, « competitive written and oral examination was held to fill the posi- tions of Chief and Desuty Labor Inspector. As a result of the examina- tion, Edward F. Seiller was reappointed Chief Labor Inspector. Miss Louie Duncan Brown, a teacher of the public schools of Lexington was appointed Deputy Labor Inspector. Mrs. Hallie B. Williams, operator of a dressmaking establishment of Henderson, was appointed Deputy 48 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE Labor Inspector. James M. Hunt, a machinist of Covington, was ap- pointed Deputy Labor Inspector. John Walker Rogers, student and journalist of Louisville, was appointed Deputy Labor Inspector. These appointments were made effective July 15, 1928, and are for a term of four years each. Inspectors’ Training School. Our new Inspectors, before entering upon their duties, were given two weeks of intensive schooling in some of the work required of them in connection with their duties. I submit the following program of the school: “My Policies and Program.” Commissioner Newton Bright. “Duties of the Department.” Chief Labor Inspector Seiller. “Hygienic Conditions and Sanitation to be Observed in Factories and Workshops.” State Sanitary Engineer, Frank Dugan of the State Board of Health. “Hygiene Inspection of Work Places and How to Remedy Unsani- tary Conditions.” Mrs. Sarah Vance Dugan, Director, Division of Foods, Drugs, and Hotel Inspection, of the State Board of Health. “Standards to be Observed in Employment of Women and Chil- dren.” Mrs. Ruben Post Halleck, President, Kentucky Consumers’ League. “Fatigue, Posture and Seating in Industry.” Carl Weber, Special- ist in seating. “Inspection of Work Places. Inspection and Testing of Blower and Suction System on Polishing and Grinding Machinery.” C. E. Britton of Cincinnati, formerly Factory and Workshop Inspector of the Illinois Department of Labor. President, International Metal Polish- ers’ Union. “The Safety Movement and What it Means.” Frank Rhodenheber, Manager, Louisville Safety Council. “Safety in Factories and Work Places, How to Remove Hazards. How to Design Guards.” William Boedeker, Senior Safety Engineer, Travelers Insurance Company. “Courtesy, Reasonableness and Common Sense in Inspection Work and in Dealing with the Public.” Chief Inspector Reagin, of the In- dustrial Board of Indiana. “The Need, Why, and Utilization of Statistics.’ John P. Troxell, Professor of Economics, College of Commerce, University of Kentucky. The training afforded by this instruction better equipped our In- spectors to take up their duties. Promotion and Publicity. During the 1928 State Fair, the department maintained an indus- trial safety and hygiene exhibit in the Merchants and Manufacturers Building. This exhibit proved effective and was well received by the public. The Louisville Safety Council cooperated and assisted us greatly in conducting the exhibit. LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 49 Affiliation with Other Organizations. The department has affiliated itself with the American Govern- mental Officials in Industry of the United States and Canada. The Chief Labor Inspector attended a convention of the Association held in Toronto, Canada, June 7, 8, 9 and 10. Several matters of labor law enforcement was discussed, with much enlightment to me. The Labor Inspector feels that he gained valuable information for the benefit of the department from the discussions of the other govern- mental labor officials. It is a wise expenditure of time and money to have a representative of the department at such meetings as the association represents. In fact, the Chief Labor Inspector believes it would be of real value to the State to have our inspectors attend this association’s meetings. We have many problems confronting us in the administration and enforcement of labor laws and by discussion and contacts with other governmental labor officials we can learn the best ways and means to get effective and efficient enforcement of laws and to give the better service to labor, industry and the public. The Chief Labor Inspector is happy to report that after a spirited contest between ‘Milwaukee, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, the delegates selected Louisville as its convention city for 1930 . I am happy to report that after a spirited contest between Mil- waukee, Boston, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, the delegates selected Louisville as its convention city for 1930. Your representative who was the only Kentucky delegate to attend the convention, put forward the claims of Kentucky and invited the convention to Kentucky for 1930. Louisville being a centrally located city in the United States, we feel that it will offer a fine inducement to several of the State Labor officials to attend the Associations’ convention who have not had the privilege of attending before. We hope to make the 1930 convention the largest and best in the history of the Association. Assurances have been received from the press, Louisville Conven- tion and Publicity League, civic organizations and hotels to help us arrange and entertain the convention. The department has also co-operated and assisted the Child Wel- fare Council of Louisville, in some of its problems. The department discontinued membership in the National Safety Council and placed its membership instead, with the Louisville Safety Council in order to be of some assistance to our own State safety enterprise. We are happy to have the privilege in helping to promote and organize the first Ohio Valley Safety Conference Convention, which was held in Louisville, June 11, 1929. This conference was attended by about 150 persons during one day and evening session. The con- vention of safety experts was sponsored by the Louisville Safety Coun- 50 BIBNNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE cil with the City and State governments, civic and trade organizations and industries throughout the State cooperating. The conference was a success and it was decided to make the meeting an annual affair known as the Ohio Valley Safety Conference which embraces the terri- tory of southern Ohio and Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. On March 19, 20 and 21, 1929, the inspection staff of the depart- ment attended the fire prevention school, held by the State Depart- ment of Fire Prevention and Rates to learn methods employed in this work and discuss the revised Standards of Safety for fire prevention and removal of fire hazards. The Ohio Safety Congress held under the auspices of the Indus- trial Commission of Ohio at Columbus, November 13, 14 and 15, 1928, for the purpose of promoting and discussing accident prevention, was attended by Inspector Hunt and myself. We report we were able by attending this conference, to get a great deal of valuable information, which has been of much help to our department. The members of the Ohio Industrial Commission and its several safety engineers have been very kind and helpful to us in furnishing information and assisting in solving several intricate labor and safety problems. Departmental Publications. The first publication released by the department under the new administration was a revised edition of Kentucky Laws and Rules pertaining to Children, Labor, Safety and Industry. This publication known as Bulletin 32 contains digests of labor laws, hygienic laws and rules and other pertinent matter. We are releasing about July 1, 1929, our Bulletin 34, “Kentucky Resources and Industries.” This publication is a comprehensive survey of the natural and mineral resources, industrial statistics, an extensive industrial direc- tory and a complete description by counties, with account of their re- spective industries. Chambers of Commerce throughout the State, the Industrial Foundation of Lovisville and the Association Industries Organization of Kentucky assisted in collecting the data. The book contains articles on Kentucky Forestry, Mineral Re- sources, the Railroads, Contribution to Kentucky, Commercial and In- dustrial Development, Chain Store Grocers, Highways, Telephone In- dustry and Electric Transmission Lines. Statistical information, includes building data in the six principal cities of Kentucky, and, tables of firms reported by counties and by industries, showing the amount of business done and value of products manufactured, wages paid and the number of employees for the year 1926. There is also an extensive directory of Kentucky Industries and descriptive information of all Kentucky counties, with data on popula- tion, mineral resources, surface and soil, water supply, principal in- LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 51 dustries, crops, transportation, highways, education and the largest cities and towns. A resume of the opportunities for industrial expansion is included in the county description as well as references where further informa- tion is obtainable. There are new maps of highways, railroads and electric transmis- sion lines. The department expects to release soon, a survey on the problem of the aged workers, their unemployment situation, annuities and relief. Extra Departmental Duties. During the past winter and spring several large areas in Kentucky were devastated by floods. It was necessary for public health officials to render quick and timely aid to the people of the de- yastated areas. These flooded districts which were in several widely separated parts of the State, sorely taxed the small force of the State Board of Health and the local public health officials. These people were working day and night trying to relieve a distressing situation and prevent the outbreak and spreading of sickness and disease which threatened to follow in the wake of the flood. Under the existing emergency conditions, the State Board of Health accepted your offer to use the entire inspection staff of the department to aid health offi- cials. Inspectors Brown and Rogers were sent into Pulaski and Wayne Counties. Inspector Williams and myself went into Cumber- land County and for several days under the direction of the local public health officials, we did everything possible to clean up, and re- lieve the situation in these counties. During the past year the department has been called to make several talks to groups and organizations interested in the labor laws of the State and to discuss some of the aspects of labor problems. Inspectors made thirty-eight visits to city and county school super- intendents to discuss the common problem of Child Labor violations and enforcement of school attendance laws, checking supply of special forms used in issuing child employment certificates. These visits tended to strengthen the cooperation between these officials and our department in enforcing such regulations. Appropriations and Expenditures. The appropriation made the Department of Labor by law is $15,- 000.00 per annum. The department has no other income. The expendi- tures for the department includes the salaries for five inspectors and one clerk, traveling expense, printing and maintenance of offices at 309 and 310 Norton Building, Louisville. 52 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE Appropriation $15,000.00 Expenditures from July 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928.

Orders were issued and prosecutions instituted only in such cases where employers refused to obey or were indifferent to the law. Enforcement of Suction-Blower Systems on Polishing and Grinding Machinery. Chapter 124, of the Acts of 1928 require the use of a suction- blower exhaust system upon polishing and grinding machinery to safeguard the health of workers employed to operate grinding and polishing machinery. Enforcement of the act began in July, 1929. The first step in the enforcement program was a complete survey in Jefferson County of all the factories and workshops having such equipment that came under the provisions of the law. This includes check-up inspections after a six month interval. Investigation by the departmental Inspectors showed that the law was widely disregarded for several reasons: Lack of adequate inspec- LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 5B tion service and apparatus to test the efficiency of dust collecting de- vices already installed; ignorance of the law and of the necessity that prompted its enactment—that is, the hazard of the workers who operated such machines without the protective device. No trouble arose in the enforcement of the law. Employers were quick to see the advantages of dust collection systems on their grind- ing and polishing machinery and several employers who have installed systems at the behest of the Labor Department have reported that the increased efficiency of production in their plants will soon pay for the cost of installing the new equipment. Others have expressed them- selves pleased at the humanitarian aspect of the installation: the pro- tection of the worker from the hazard of inhalation of the dust parti- cles. All the firms inspected willingly complied with the provisions of the law, whether it was an order for the installation of a suction system on the grinding or polishing machines, or an order to make the already installed machinery come up to the standard requirements of the law. In no case was it necessary to impose a penalty or resort to courts for law redress. Employers have been uniformly courteous and cooperative with the department in the administration of this new law.

Law, though based on unchanging funda- mental principles must be amended and expanded to include within its scope the ever widening complexities of the changing world. Law based on cummulative experience of others should be provided to meet present conditicns as well as il should be designed to meet conditions that will arise in the future. For these reasons, the following legislative recommendations, based on close observation and experience, purely for the benefit of the Commonwealth, are made. Department Reorganization Necessary: Since the establishment of the Labor Department the State of Kentucky has become an industrial center of some importance with industrial enterprises concentrated in and around Louisville and Jef- ferson County as well as being scattered throughout the State. These changing conditions in the industrial life of the State have not brought with them a corresponding growth and expansion in the scope and personnel of the Labor Department. The services of two inspectors are constantly needed in Louisville and Jefferson County where the industrial activity of the State is centered. Besides to the factory and workshop inspection, these inspectors are charged with the enforcement of the Woman’s Law and the Child Labor Law in addition to the clerical work and statistical data that is compiled and disseminated by this department. Field work is necessarily restricted because of limited personnel and funds for traveling. The Labor Department is handicapped in the proper and efficient enforcement of factory and workshop inspection by the lack of legis- lation on this subject; the law concerning the employment of women is also inadequate for the protection of women in industries. No codes for the enforcement of safety regulation to protect workers are provided. Inspectors are limited to recommendations which are with- out force and can be rejected at the discretion of the employers. Since the Kentucky Legislature has enacted labor laws for the protection of the citizens of this state, provisions should be made to increase the scope of the Labor Department which is charged with the enforcement of these laws. Lack of adequate clerical force hampers the department in ful- filling one of its most vital functions—the preparation and distribution of statistical information. When such work is done for the public it is done at the expense of other duties of the department. Necessarily some of the inspectors are temporarily removed from their regular duties to perform this work. 60 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE With the inspectors in the Louisville office drafted for clerical work and statistical tabulation and compilation their inspectorial effectiveness is naturally diminished. Even with the inspectors’ part time assistance the department finds it difficult and often impossible to answer all the demands made upon it for tabulated information. With a proper staff of workers trained to supply such information the public would be afforded a vaiuable service. The Labor Department is limited by statute to two female and two male inspectors, one clerk and an executive officer who is the Chief Labor Inspector. The Chief Labor Inspector and the Deputy Labor Inspectors are selected by means of a competitive written and oral examination and must meet with qualifications set up by law. This is the only state department in which candidates for positions are selected by means of the civil service method of competitive examinations. The present staff was appointed from among a group of appli- cants who passed the highest test at the examination held in June. 1928, at Frankfort. The examining board consists of Dean F. Paul Anderson, of the College on Engineering, University of Kentucky; Frank Dugan, State Sanitary Engineer, State Board of Health, and Newton Bright, Com- missioner of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics. The salaries paid Deputy Labor Inspectors is set by law at $1,600 per annum which comes to $133.00 a month. Such compensation in view of the high qualifications demanded and the services performed is wholly inadequate. The entire personnel of the department devotes full time to the duties of the department. The work of the department requires constant alertness and study of changing labor and industrial conditions, laws, court decisions and procedure as well as close observation and competent inspection of factories and workshops. The department inspectors are required to meet and discuss all of the foregoing and other intricate problems with factory managers, employers and heads of large corporations. They are also required to make public talks when occasion demands. Section 6, Chapter 68 of the Acts of 1924 sets out the duties of the department in the following language. “The Department of Labor shall through its Inspectors visit places of employment for the purpose of investigation of the condi- tion of employment affecting the life, health, safety of employes, the administration and enforcement of all laws of the State regu- lating the employment of labor, and the collection of statistics pertaining thereto.” It can be plainly seen from the above mentioned duties set out by the present law, that the law is entirely too ambiguous and vague, that LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 61 it does not go into complete or sufficient detail as to the full duties and purposes of the department. The duties of the department should be expanded so as to include the collection, compilation and publication of statistics and other in- formation connected with labor and industry, including hours of labor, earnings, conditions of labor, and the means of promoting the social and material well being of the working men, women and children of the Commonwealth. The department should also collect and diffuse information per- taining to the prevention of industrial accidents and occupational diseases and to cause the same to be prevented by all means within its power and authority. The department should administer and enforce the acts of Gen- eral Assembly relating to the employment of labor and the regulation of labor’s working conditions, except, such laws as come under the enforcing authority of the State Board of Health, the Department of Mines and the Workmen’s Compensation Board. It is recommended that the personnel of the department be re- organized to provide for a Director of the Department of Labor, a Statistician, six inspectors, and such clerical help as required to carry out the duties of the office of the department. 62 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE The Need for a Public Employment Service: There is obvious need for a free public employment service for the purpose of ascertaining the extent and causes of the unemployment of wage-earners, a grievous problem of modern industry, and to make known the opportunities for self employment. This agency should be made a part of the Labor Department and should be charged with the duty of receiving applications from per- sons seeking employment and applications from employers seeking employees, to make known remedies for unemployment and to avoid the unemployment of wage earners. There should also be made pro- visions for securing employment for those who are physically or men- tally handicapped, all of these services to be rendered without fee or perquisit. Such an act should give the Commissioner of Agriculture, Labor and Statistics, the authority to co-operate and enter in agreements with the United States Employment Service and any civic, commer- cial, trade, school or labor organization in the Commonwealth for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of such an act. LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 63 Need for the Regulation of Private Commercial Employment Agencles: At the present time there is no regulation or supervision of private commercial employment agencies in Kentucky. Under the present system applicants for positions are charged a registration fee before the commercial agencies will consider the case of the applicant. And in cases where work is secured through the efforts of the agency, he is charged from ten to fifty per cent of his first month’s wages for this service. Some of the employment agencies have been the source of many complaints to this department by workers seeking employment, work- ers who have been duped into paying a registration fee by false promises of non-existent jobs. Some regulatory statute to include state supervision of the activi- ties of commercial employment agencies and penalties for the viola- tion thereof should be provided. Employment agencies should be licensed by the department and should be forbidden to circulate any false information or to make false statements or representations to any person seeking employment or to any employer seeking employees. Provisions should also be made for the return of registration fees charged applicant when private commercial agencies fail to find work for the applicant after a specified period. 64 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE Amendment Necessary to Law Regulating Labor Hours of Employment on Public Works: On December 8, the office of State Attorney General Cammack rendered an opinion that Chapter 123 of the Acts, 1910, General As- sembly, pertaining to the regulation that eight hours work consti- tutes a days work for laborers and mechanics employed on all public works in this Commonwealth as being unenforceable because the act does not set out in its title a penalty for the violation of the provisions of the act. The opinion in full follows: “You have requested an opinion of this department concerning Chapter 123 of the Acts of 1910 General Assembly, which in brief regulates the hours of labor of mechanics employed on any of the public works in this State. You further ask to whom should ap- plication be made for enforcement of this Act. “Section 1 of said Act is as follows: “«That service and employment of all laborers and mechanics who are now or may hereafter be employed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, or by any contractor or sub-contractor, upon any of the public works of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is hereby limited and restricted to eight hours in any one calendar day, and it shall be unlawful for any officer of the Commonwealth of Ken- tucky or any such contractor or sub-contractor, whose duty it shall be to employ, direct, or control the services of such laborer or mechanic to work move than eight hours in any calendar day except in case of extraordinary emergency.’ “Section 2 provides the penalty for violation thereof. “The title to said Act is as follows: “‘An Act providing that eight hours shall constitute a day for laborers and mechanics employed on all public works in this Commonwealth.’ «Section 51 of the Constitution of Kentucky provides as follows: “No law enacted by the General Assembly shall relate to more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title, and no law shall be revised, amended or the provisions thereof extended or conferred by reference to its title only, but so much thereof as is revised, amended, extended or conferred shall be reenacted and published at length.’ “You will notice that the title of said Act does not in any way include a statement to the effect that a penalty for the violation of said act is provided in said act. For that reason we are of the opinion that Section 2 of said act, which provides the penalty, is of no force and effect. That being true, it would be of no avail for you to make application for the enforcement thereof.” It is hereby recommended that this act be amended to correct the title by including the penalty statement. It is further recommended that this act be amended by providing for a section prescribing it to LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 65 be the duty of the Department of Labor to enforce the provisions of the act and to include in the title the necessary statement to support said section. The department makes this recommendation in view of the fact- that this act is of a regulatory nature concerning labor and should come within the province and duty of the Labor Department. Unless some enforcement for the provision of the act is made, it will become, as it has in the past, practically an unenforced law of our Commonwealth. A. L. & S.—8 66 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE The Need for a State Industrial Hygiene and Safety Service: The creation of a State Industrial Hygiene and Safety Service is necessary to protect workers against all conditions in industry that are hazardous to the life and safety of the worker or threaten to under- mine his health. Since the power of the employee to choose the conditions of his employment is limited it becomes necessary for the State to correct those conditions which undermine his health or endanger his life. During a six year year period, records show that 13,743 employers operating under the provisions of the Workmen’s (accident) Compen- sation Act reported 985 fatal accidents and 153,828 non fatal accidents. Many of these accidents were preventable. This group of employers paid out in accident compensation insurance premiums during this period the sum of $15,688,178. Compensation may in a measure soften the result of injury but the most important field in which the State can engage is in the pro- motion and development of good industrial hygienic conditions and the prevention of accidents. Socially, the prevention of industrial accidents means the safe- guarding of the health and lives of the members of the community for the common good. It is profitable to industry, the workers, and society as a whole. In order to carry out such a program the State should first of all, as a stable base from which to operate, declare by law that all places of employment shall be made safe and require that employers shall not allow or permit dangerous practices to be used in the conduct of their business. Upon this declaration of principle, the state acting as an adminis- tering body, should operate as much as possible in an advisory capa- city instead of as a police officer. To carry out this principle and policy four fundamental condi- tions are necessary: First, adequate law; second, inspection and en- gineering service; third, education, and fourth, penalties. Suitable laws are necessary, for it has been found in practice that unsafe conditions cannot be corrected when only appeal to volun- tary reform can be made. To that end the State should adopt as needed, safety codes, rules, or regulations which would set up minimum standards for all and so raise the level of competition that the good employer will not be subjected to the cut throat competition of the un- scrupulous. For these reasons a law, to promote safe working conditions in all places of employment, to prevent the loss of life and personal injuries by the adoption oz adequate safety rules, to require the inspection of elevators, steam boilers and pressure vessels, to require inspection of and render engineering service to place of employment, to assist in LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 67 the minimizing of fire hazards and to promote healthful working con- ditions, is hereby proposed. WOMAN’S WORKING LAW CHANGES NECESSARY Chapter 135b, Acts of 1912, Carroll’s Kentucky Statutes 4866b-1 to 4866b-8, is the law commonly Known as the “Woman’s Working Law to Safeguard Their Health,’ a law for the protection of women employed in industry. This law, we have found from our experience of inspection and enforcement thereof, is conflicting, wordy and cumbersome and should be amended; some of the provisions should be liberalized. Difficulties in interpretation and enforcement be- cause of the vagueness of the law have arisen and we therefore submit for approval some proposed changes that will eliminate these defi- ciencies in the law as appear in its present status. The first change proposed pertains to the regulation of the hours of employment of women. The sections now reads: “No female under twenty-one years of age shall be employed or suffered or permitted to work at any gainful occupation except domestic service and nursing, more than sixty hours in any one week, nor more than ten hours in any one day.” Section 4866b—1. “No female of whatever age shall be employed or suffered or permitted to work in any laundry, bakery, factory, workshop, store or mercantile establishment, manufacturing or mechanical establishment, or hotel, restaurant, telephone exchange or tele- graph office more than sixty hours in any one week nor more than ten hours in any one day.” Section 4866b-2. These two sections are somewhat conflicting. We recommend that Section 2 be repealed and that Section 1 be amended by striking out the following words: “under twenty-one years of age.” The second change proposed pertains to provisions for seats, Section 3. This section now reads: “Every person, firm or corporation that employes females shall provide seats for their use in the room where they work and shall maintain and keep them there, and shall permit the use of such by them when not necessarily engaged in the active duties for which they are employed. In stores and mercantile establish- ments at least one seat shall be provided for every three females employed. If the duties of the female employees, for the use of whom the seats are furnished, are to be principally performed in front of a counter, table, desk or fixture, such seats shall be placed in front thereof. If such duties are to be principally per- formed behind such counter, table desk or fixture, such seats shall be placed behind same. The provision of seats that fold when not in use shall not be deemed a compliance with this sec- tion.” Section 4866b-3. 68 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE We recommend repeal of a portion of the above section because of its redundancy which makes the section cumbersome and con- flicting within itself. This section should be amended to be more brief; to provide that seats for the use of female employees shall be installed and main- tained for their use and that the seats shall be conveniently accessible to the workers for whose use they are intended. The third change proposed is in Section 4. The diverse inter- pretation of such unqualified words as “suitable and proper” make this section difficult to efficiently enforce. “Bvery person, firm or corporation employing females shall provide suitable and proper washrooms and water closets, or privy closets where sewer connection is impossible, and shall keep such closets at all times clean and properly screened and ventilated and free from obscene writing or marking. If male persons also be employed in the same establishment such em- ployer shall provide closets for the men in a room entirely separate from that to the room containing the women’s closets. A dressing room shall be provided by the employer for the women when the nature of their work is such as to require any change in clothing.” Section 4866b-4. The department recommends amendment by t1e-drafting of the section to eliminate this vagueness. The changes proposed will, we believe, clarify the intent of the section and will make for a more efficient enforcement of the law. Our recommended changes are to establish a reasonable ratio of toilets to the number of workers in places of employment, sanitary construction which includes adequate ventilation; screened entrances and other qualifications that would be definite and ccncrete. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F. SEILLER, Chief Labor Inspector. LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 69 INSPECTIONS AND WORKING HOURS We submit tables of inspections made by industry, showing the hours worked daily, Saturday and weekly by women and men wage earners. The working hours of wage earners have been recognized as of such social importance that practically all states have somewhat more or less prescribed working hour standards. Kentucky has a 10-hour per day, not over 60-hour per week standard for employed women. The lunch period allowed is found to be fixed in well regulated establishments and it is usually found to be 30 minutes. 70 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE LET 883 STF 9 Spooy U9TOOM LLT 83 Soc (4 spooy US 61 g TT % 61 Il 0g g siopLing 8% T FOT sot L9e € esUIAL pue osepsi0g OF. |rg $6 vq spooy u0}}09 LY = =OT Tat 8 GLS 6 69T |L OZF'T |8h8 89L'T |Z sulyV0[D p € & T Sulppog 9 T as 9 8st T s}U0, pue ssulUMy LTIv OT 691 6 L6S ST Ost {TIT £68‘T |T06 008'Z |oF aa “—— dnoup szonposd slay, pue s2qi3xeL 6L6, (SPST |2e9'S JLT Suying pue Surypuvyo 298‘L |Z90‘T |*2F's 9 2upieuy pue Wyaeas bLY T Leg 3 00L LL9 LLE'T | §9}} 218319 67 td eq 3 968 98 386 2 sIezip eea 8 009 =F 186‘s |s9s‘e soe‘, [ee dnouy oooeqoL 4 g saz (é 68 &Z9 StL {IT suse yee pue Zuri} ysne ¥ ta 174 3 ¥ 66 sot 9 oduns prop use eis iZ4 L 144 L6T Tro {TT WvelD 9d] 28 IT 693 T 213 She oer 6 SUT Uurein pue ino, a3 9 OTT 9 09 ors OLE LT sjonpoig Aled g $ 9g TT ST 2 rs Or 8g 6T So] L9u0TZDaJUOD 8 4 or it Bupysevoy sa7joD fag T 98 T G2b F68 OTL'T |&T SuyAioseig puv suyuuep g Tt 9 4 IP 7 &T ToT FIT L sosRi10A0g 89 T 83 T ti 4 +T SL OT Oss 968 OTL 2g sjonpoig A1ayeq 8g z £8 ?

STEMMLER Hog Cholera Control R. D. GREEN OCIE CARTER Sheep Scabies Control WARREN SORRELL State Live Stock Sanitary Board DR. D. E. WESTMORLAND, State Veterinarian I have the honor to present herewith the seventh biennial report of the work performed by the Live Stock Sanitary Board of Kentucky through this office for the fiscal years 1928-1929. The major part of these activities have been devoted to our co- operative bovine tuberculosis and sheep scab eradication. The first of which I think is most important of all animal disease control work, as it not only protects the cattle industry from great losses from this disease, but its eradication from cattle removes one of the greatest sources of infection to the human family, this disease being communi- cated to the human through the food and milk supply derived from this class of animals. This work is being conducted by what is known as the “County Area Plan.” That is, the Live Stock Sanitary Board, in cooperation with the Bureau of Animal Industry, enters into an agreement with the Fiscal Courts, whereby the county appropriates sixty ($60.00) dol- lars per month for traveling expenses of our inspectors while testing all cattle in this area. We have to date finished testing in fifty-three counties, twenty-eight of which have been declared “Modified Ac- credited Areas.’ These areas have certain quarantine restrictions that prevent the importation of non-tested cattle into the county. This assists materially in keeping the area free from tuberculosis. The value of the services rendered the live stock industry by the Live Stock Sanitary Board through this office can be estimated when we consider that most all diseases of a contagious and infectious nature have been kept under control except sheep scabies, against which we are now conducting an active campaign. The Live Stock Sanitary Board entered into a cooperative agree- ment with the Bureau of Animal Industry about two years ago, whereby this work is being conducted by farm to farm inspection, and inspec- tion and dipping at the local stock yards. We found, as our work progressed in sheep scab eradication, that one of the greatest sources of the distribution of infection was through the local stock yards, of which there are about thirty within the sheep raising section of the state. To control this conditicn it was necessary to establish a system of inspection and dipping of all sheep sold from these markets for purposes other than immediate slaughter. Inspectors were assigned to inspect and supervise the dipping of these animals in eighteen yards. We find that to carry out this important work it will be necessary to increase our number of inspectors. I therefore respectfully request that the General Assembly of Kentucky, at its next regular session, 104 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE be asked to increase our appropriation five ($5,000.00) thousand dollars per year, so that this work can be carried out effectively. The sheep industry is now one of the largest of a live stock nature in Kentucky and is increasing each year in number of animals and in production of lambs and wool. The demand for Kentucky lambs on the eastern market and the adaptability of our climate and soil for the development of this great live stock industry justifies its being fostered and protected by our state. Bovine Contagious Abortion is present in the dairy sections of Kentucky and has increased to the extent that in the near future some active measures must be adopted for its contrul. Foot Rot and Lip and Leg disease in sheep exist in many sections of the state which is causing a financia} loss to this industry. With our extended program of disease control work and our limited force of inspectors we are unable at present to inaugurate an active campaign for the control and eradication of these two above mentioned diseases. But as inspectors now engaged in tuberculosis and sheep scabies eradication become available, I suggest that they be assigned to control work in these diseases. Hog Cholera is now under control in the state. We are fortunate in having qualified agents in practically every community who render prompt and effective service in the control of this disease. Much credit is due the Bureau of Animal Industry for its splendid work performed by Dr. W. F. Biles, Inspector in Charge, and his effi- cient veterinary and clericai force, cooperating with the Live Stock Sanitary Board in the control of live stock diseases in Kentucky. CATTLE Bovine Tuberculosis The control and eradication of bovine tuberculosis, as during the past several years, continues to be the major project of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board of Kentucky. Satisfactory progress has been made when compared with available finances. The eradication of bovine tuberculosis is the greatest responsibility confronting this Board since it is a vital matter both for the protection of public health and for the live stock industry of the Commonwealth. Unless this campaign is vigorously prosecuted the disease will increase and the greater this increase the more expensive eradication becomes. With positive proof that the ratio of infected animals is far higher in un- tested herds and districts, it is quite evident that this program should be carried on to completion. The most serious problem confronting the completion of the campaign at this time is the pauper condition of the counties of the state which are unable to finance their part of the neces- sary expense. Some acticn should be taken at once in order that the work will not be delayed by this situation. It is now realized by those familiar with the work that tuberculosis eradication is more of a community proposition than an individual LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 105 problem. From this realization has come the Area Test Plan of Hradi- cation which has been adopted by the forty-eight states of the Union The advantages of this plan are numerous. From an economic stand- point, the cost per head under this system is far below that of any other. It encourages and increases the breeding of cattle in such areas. Cattle buyers prefer to make their purchases in such areas and are willing to pay a premium over prices in non-tested areas. The plan consists of testing all the cattle in a circumscribed area; con- demning all reactors, cleanin; and disinfecting infected premises, and retesting all infected herds every sixty or ninety days until the herd passes a clean test. In counties where the infection is less than one- half of one per cent, the area is subject to become a modified accredited county. After a county has been officially declared a modified ac- credited area, it is quarantined for a period of three years and un- tested cattle are not allowed to enter. Cattle from accredited areas are eligible for interstate shipment without further test, with few ex- ceptions. Observation and statistics indicate that there can be no better way to eradicate tuberculosis than to first control it in given areas. There- fore, the Board’s efforts during the past two years have practically been confined to the County Area Plan. Fifty-three counties have been completely tested and the campaign is in active progress in nine others. Twenty-eight counties have been declared Modified Accredited Counties.

Clinicians and investigators are unanimous as to the specific cause of Bang’s Abortion Disease; and to the role played by the organism, Brucella Abortus, in this intra- uterine disease. This disease, like tuberculosis, is an important factor in public health work. Recently some very interesting facts have come to light as to its effects on human health. This phase of the disease is receiving considerable attention. Many important discover- ies have been made, and the future will no doubt bring many more. Every consideration should be given to the control of Bang’s Abor- tion Disease in our cattle. As yet no provision has been made for state control. This office has done little in this field except in an advisory way with individual herd owners. It is believed that some measure should be adopted to give assistance; at least regulatory and advisory, if not financial. The method of eradication and control adopted by LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 107 several other states is the Abortion Free Herd Plan. That is, re- peated blood tests, the elimination of the reactors, and the strict ap- plication of sanitary hygiene. The disposition of animals positive to the blood test for abortion is a vital matter. The point desired is not gained if positive animals are permitted to be removed from the herds and sold, possibly going into uninfected herds without the knowledge of the purchaser. It is hoped that in the near future, funds will be available to aid in controlling this disease and eradicating it from herds where condi- tions are favorable for maintaining free herds. Hemorrhagic Septicemia Due to the large number of cattle being shipped into the state, many of which pass through public stock yards, hemorrhagic septi- cemia has been more or less prevalent throughout the entire state. This condition, however, has been well taken care of by the practicing veterinarian, with the exception of those sections so unfortunate as not to be in reach of one. Black Leg Black leg is also rather general in the state. However, losses from this disease are purely cases of negligence on the part of the owner. The proper vaccination by a graduate veterinarian having proven prac- tically 100% preventive. Miscellaneous Diseases With the exception of the diseases listed, our cattle have been com- paratively free from contagious diseases. This office has been called on numerous occasions on outbreaks of various kinds. Ordinarily, they have proven of minor importance and easily controlled. SHEEP During the period covered by this report, as during the period covered by the previous Biennial, the sheep population of Kentucky has been greatly increased. With this increase in number, the quality of our sheep has been greatly improved, and naturally there has been an increased demand on the eastern markets for the early Kentucky lambs. This demand has been reflected in prices received by the grower, making sheep raising one of the most consistently profitable branches of farming. The magnitude of this phase of agriculture may be realized from estimates, by those familiar with the situation, that Kentucky’s 1929 lamb crop would approximate ten million dollars. It is only natural that diseases would become more prevalent in an industry so active as sheep farming has been in the past two years. The increase in the Kentucky farm flock has mainly been by purchase through stock yards, often of foreign sheep. These additions are largely made during the summer and early fall months, when scabies is very difficult to recog- 108 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE nize. In flocks where infectious disease are found, it is invariably trace- able to additions to the flock. It is these diseases that will be dis- cussed here. Sheep Scabies Of all communicable diseases of sheep in Kentucky, scabies con- tinues to be the greatest menace. The distribution of scabies has become general throughout the state wherever sheep are raised to any extent. This wide distribution has made control work difficult as well as very expensive. Our inspectors have been placed in the worst infected districts in order to reduce the cost of supervision to the minimum. However, with the limited force the necessary travel and incidental expenses have been a heavy drain on the Board’s finances. The regular procedure where a flock is found infected, is to place the premises under quarantine, dip the entire flock twice at ten to fourteen days interval in an official dip, under the personal super- vision of a regularly employed inspector. These sheep thus quaran- tined and treated are held under quarantine for sixty to ninety days, then, reinspected and if found free are released. With conclusive proof at hand that a large percentage of the infection was being disseminated by sheep going from the local stock yards to the farm, it was considered to the best interest of the sheep industry to pass a regulation, requiring that all sheep leaving the Use A tasa MUNTUAE FOR com AewmOAGE With ho.

It has at least had a great value in an educational way in demonstrating proper dipping to the farmers. Considerable time and effort have been expended in getting farm- ers throughout the state to install modern dipping vats, and in educat- ing them in the use of recognized dips and proper dipping. With the limited appropriation in comparison to the size of the sheep enterprise and the large territory involved, it is not presumptuous to say that a great service has been rendered.

This con- dition has formerly been considered one confined to low, swampy land. However, during recent years it has become very common in hill lands. It has also taken on many characteristics of a communicable disease and does not respond readily to treatment. While the mortality is not great, the economic loss is very heavy. The treatment, to be success- ful, must include the entire flock and must be continued for some time after all symptoms disappear. Our work in this field, while rather extensive, has been largely along educational line. If the farmer can be sufficiently impressed with the danger of this disease, and the im- portance of systematic treatment, the financial loss may be reduced and the disease controlled. Otherwise, some regulatory measure will be necessary. Lip and Leg Ulceration This form of the disease, while widely distributed throughout the United States, is seldom found in Kentucky, except in sheep shipped in from out of the state. This office receives numerous calls on outbreaks of this condi- tion. However, its control causes little concern as it responds readily to treatment. Internal Parasites The stomach worm is by far the most important in this class. Doubtless, there are few flocks in Kentucky free from this parasite, and the economic loss resulting would be impossible to estimate. Efforts in this field have also been extensive, but of an educational nature. SWINE Hog Cholera Reports indicate that cholera has been more prevalent during the last half of this Biennial, than during the years just previous. This condition is largely due to failure to vaccinate on the part of the farmers, especially is this true where exposed hogs are bought at local stock yards and taken to the farm. Little danger exists that cholera will ever reach epidemic proportions in those parts of Kentucky that are accessible to graduate veterinarians. Since the serum-virus vacci- nation, in qualified hands, has proven almost 100% preventive and immunization at the proper age is so inexpensive, little sympathy is due the farmer that sustains losses from cholera. Principally all the work done with swine by the Cooperative Forces is in the mountains and other sections of the state not in reach of a graduate veterinarian. LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 111 Hemorrhagic Septicemia This condition, like cholera, is present in our herds more or less during the entire year. The infection in most herds can be traced to additions from infected yards, which indicates the necessity of a regu- lation, requiring vaccination of all hogs going back to the farms. Vaccination for this condition has also been highly developed, and while probably not as efficient as the one for cholera, has proven very successful. Our work in this field, as in cholera, has been largely in sections where veterinary services are not available.

Poultry growers have sustained heavy losses from diseases, and have been practically helpless, in that they have had no one to turn to for assist- ance. Bacillary white diarrhea and parasites continue to increase in our flocks and an industry of this importance certainly warrants facili- ties and necessary funds for the proper assistance. 112 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE The Cooperative Forces have been able to do considerable avian tuberculosis work in connection with the bovine tuberculosis eradica- tion with very little added expense. Assistance has been rendered the poultrymen whenever possible. However, this work is so foreign to the regular routine that a special program is imperative.

This splendid condition is largely due to the law which requires that all horses and mules shipped into the state to be accompanied by a health certificate, showing them to be free from contagious or infec- tious disease, signed by an approved veterinarian of the state of origin. Glanders is apparently being gradually eradicated, since only one reactor to the mallein test was reported during this biennial period. While numerous investigations have been made of reported out- breaks of contagious diseases, they have been invariably found to be of a non-contagious nature.

E. JACKSON, JR., State Forester The second Biennial Report of this Department to the General Assembly of 1928 gave a survey of the work for the years 1926 and 1927 up to and inluding December 31, 1927. This the Third Report deals with work done for the past year and a half and outlines the scope of the future work necessary to develop and protect the forest resources of Kentucky. SUMMARY Kentucky has 10,500,000 acres, out of a State total of 25,718,500 acres of land, which is not suitable for anything except the growing of timber. There are approximately 6,000,000 acres of woodland in farms, 2,800,000 acres in large boundaries of forest land, and approxi- mately 1,700,000 acres in idle or waste land which should be growing timber as it is unsuited for agricultural uses. About 50% or 5,000,000 acres of this timber land lies in the mountainous counties east of a line drawn from Lewis to McCreary Counties. All of this land should be growing just as much timber as it can produce so that future generations will have lumber to cut instead of bare hillsides. If properly managed, Kentucky’s timber lands could always produce one billion board feet of lumber per year, which should meet the State’s yearly need for lumber indefinitely. Floods cause mil- lions of dollars’ worth of damage every year in Kentucky. This menace can be stopped in a great measure by keeping the steep hillsides clothed in forest cover so that the rapid run-off of unusual precipita- tion can be retarded until the stream can carry off the flow in its regular course. Forestry in the United States is no longer merely a theory or a subject for discussion. It has gotten down to concrete things in the woods. Nor is the growing of timber confined to public lands; it is gradually making headway on land in private ownership. But it would be useless for any organization or individual to attempt to grow timber if the area was to be burned periodically through the acts of a careless or indifferent public. In laying plans for the conservation of the timberlands we still have left in Kentucky and once more placing the State on a lumber producing basis, rather than receiving our needed lumber supplies from a) 1 120 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE P U eB “s}ONpOIg AIISINN 9e1], 1S910,q 0387g PUB S}IqIUxe UOISseaddng uoTWUAAZIG OIA JS20T ‘SJONpoIg PooM 1ela}snpuyl Surmoys ‘ITeT 9821S 8Z6I PU} Sulnp uolqiuxm solaseg }SO10H 9381S sis yu AN LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 121 other states, forest protection at the present time is approximately 85% of the work. FOREST FIRE PREVENTION The policy of confining the activities of the Department in actual forest protection to timberland areas whose owners contribute finan- cial cooperation has been continued. To date there are approximately one-half million acres of timber- land under signed contract to be protected. One hundred and thirty- one corporations, firms, and individuals, embraced in four forest pro- tective associations, have their holdings listed on the basis of lc per acre. Private cooperators’ funds are met by a like amount from the State and Federal Forest Service cooperating, making a fund of 2c per acre for every acre of timberland placed under protection. Associa- tion funds are used only on the areas of the cooperating owners, a plan of operation being set up for each Association and at the end of the fiscal year a report concerning receipts, expenditures, work done, and a summary of the fire situation is sent to each owner. 122 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE 00s, UOTSSIUIMOD YIVq 93819 Aon} Ue 19a ” ” ” €8¢ T uoTVVLod10H [BOD [BUuIpreD Aon} Ue Tea ” ” ” 008 fLT uoerodi0p J eHoNg-eTU9} UIST uelleH ” ” ” 00L' 0 uoHeIodi0g U01}B)-BIUe}Ue xT uelIey ” ” ” 000‘S SInqsueniim ‘AueduroD [veop judg ust ueliey ” " ” 00F “AM ‘uewsAeyT ‘TM ‘paeMoTT uve A a on oot “AM SH908ID SUNI®M ‘A ‘G ‘premoy ue[reH ” ” ” O9T uojurig “H ‘OD pue ‘'a ‘g@ ‘prvmoH uve ” ” ” 009 ‘AM ‘uppaeH ‘°0D e8HOD pues [VoD ure uelIieyy r a am 000‘ ‘A ‘sesy ‘0D seMeT[op uelreH uelIeH ” ” ” 00S enzeuseT ‘poomen ‘a7 ‘A pues o1vISH [IPH uelIey a ii i 002‘ sTAeurd ‘"di0D [eop SUITIeM -UeLIer uelleH ” ” 00T ‘AM ‘H9OID SUTTIVM ‘JLeqoy ‘We1eyH Use ” ” 000‘T ‘AMT SuepieyH SW “YD ‘a[os1eAq ueliey ie ae a 00T “41 SH99ID SUTTIVeM ‘pAsOTT ‘sToruBd uelreH ” ” ” 007 ‘S poomen ‘Auvdui0p [VoD Yoeoip sermiumip ueliey iF bie Pe 007 ‘2 ‘AM SRM ‘Auvdurop [B0D Yyooold UvlICEL ” ” ” 002 ‘AM fospryed ‘"'T “AM ‘yoeeID T9yoyO'T ” ” " 00F dotunfeyT ‘AueduioD [eoD divyg yy yooD uve as .

Steel Forest Fire Observation Tower erected on the Kentenia State Forest. This is the type of Forest Fire Towers being erected on the Co-operative Protected Timbered Areas of the State. LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 127 The erection of four fire observation towers during the period marks the beginning of what should develop into a state-wide forest fire detection system. The steel towers range in height from 75 to 100 feet and were erected through State, Federal, and private owner co- operation. This brings our total number of towers to five, with an observation territory of approximately 100,000 acres each. Each tower has living quarters for the watchman at its base. Rest camps with tables and water facilities have been provided that tourists and local visitors may be led to visit these towers and thereby gain a conception of the work. The location of these towers is as follows: TOWERS ERECTED AND MANNED COOPERATIVELY During the Period January 1, 1928-June 30, 1929. Kind Height County Locality Steel 60 feet Harlan Gross Knob near Wallins Creek Steel 100 feet Harlan Pine Mountain near Putney Wooden 50 feet Leslie Lucinda Knob Wooden 60 feet | Whitley Gatliff To connect these towers with the wardens and district offices ap- proximately 100 miles of telephone line were constructed. In all telephone construction so far, the one-wire system has been used. It is desired that the metallic system gradually supersede the one-wire system, as soon as funds will permit. It is only when connected by telephone with the fire fighting force that the lookout on the tower becomes really effective. In many cases telephone communications have been given to outlaying sections where telephone lines have not existed before. Exhibits were placed in twenty of the more timbered counties during the annual county fairs. Due to small personnel these were all the counties that could be reached during the time when these gatherings were held. The use of posters and signs has been found of the greatest value in reaching the local and traveling public. These signs call to their attention that they should be careful with fire, reminding them that everyone loses when the woods burn. Ten warden meetings were held in the cooperative association area. These meetings are schools of instruction, designed so that the different problems that confront the wardens in their relationship with the public may be discussed and better efficiency and morale encouraged in the organization. 128 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE There are two classes of wardens, chief warden and deputy war- den. The chief warden is in charge of an association area which may be from 50,000 acres to 200,000 acres in area. While his main objec- tive is fire prevention, yet the chief stress has to be laid on forest fire control, such as the preparation for fire fighting, the detection, suppres- sion, investigation and report on forest fires. He gives a good deal of his time to educational work among the schools in his territory also. He is given a stipulated number of days to work each month during the fire seasons by the district forester and is paid by the day, with no expense allowance. He is always a local man who is familiar with the territory he has in charge. The deputy warden heads an organized registered fire crew of five men. His work is fire fighting only. The territory he protects with his crew is approximately a mile square surrounding his home. He is paid by the hour, when he is fighting fires. The activities of the forest wardens can be summarized as follows: Fiscal Years 1927-28 1928-29 Number of fires handled 161 90 Number of posters posted 3,768 3,577 Number of people interviewed 5,932 10,908 Number of sawmills inspected 13 11 Number of schools visited 38 119 Number of prosecutions conducted .2u...........eeeeseseneeee 6 1 Number of miles travelled (auto, horse, and foot)........ 6,415 8,604 Two sets of forest fire statistics are secured annually. The volun- teer fire reports sent in by volunteer reporters from every county in the state having any forest fires and the report secured at first hand by the fire wardens on the protected areas. Naturally the latter record is more correct and is the source by which all statistical figures are secured concerning this work.

STATE FOREST NURSERY The State Forest Nursery, on the State Fair Grounds at Louis- ville, has had a very successful season during the past eighteen months. The demand for forest planting and roadside planting stock, as in former years, has far exceeded the supply. During the past year, steps were taken to enlarge greatly the output of tree stock suitable for planting on abandoned farm land—especially that of black locust— in an attempt to meet requests for extensive plantings of this species in Western and Central Kentucky. Planting of forest tree seedlings is advocated only on land not reseeding naturally and that land not suited for agriculture, 130 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE DISTRIBUTION OF NURSERY STOCK f Species Fiscal Years 1927-28 1928-29 Seedlings: Black Walnut 9,505 4,550 Black Walnut (two-year) 10,820 Black Locust 33,600 36,750 Red Oak 2,560 3,800 White Oak 685 4,310 Catalpa 125 Total 46,475 60,230 Transplants: Catalpa 10 418 White Ash 243 1,223 Silver Maple 963 1,246 Sycamore 237 63 Elm 161 202 Hackberry 100 108 Poplar 406 Total 1,714 3,666 Growing species suitable for highway planting has also been one of the chief projects of the forest nursery. The constant requests by civic organizations and individuals for information and help in highway tree planting projects has indicated that this department is so far as means are available fulfilling this section of the State forest law. Cooperation wiil be had with the State Highway Commission in undertaking the development of a state-wide roadside beautification program to meet adequately the needs and the growing demand for landscape improvement. Trees during the past biennium were shipped to 82 people in 48 different counties. The counties receiving trees were as follows: Ballard Christian Hardin Marshall Perry Barren Daviess Harlan Mason Pike Bell Fayette Hart Mercer Shelby Breathitt Franklin Henry Meade Simpson Breckinridge Fulton Henderson McCracken Taylor Boone Gallatin Jefferson Montgomery Todd Bullitt Garrard Kenton Muhlenberg Union Boyd Grayson Larue Nelson Warren Carroll Grant Logan Ohio Carter Graves Marion Oldham LABOR, LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD, FORESTRY 131 EDUCATION It was set forth clearly in the Second Biennial Report of the State Forester, that it was only by means of education that the value of a definite forest policy in the state would become clear to the public in general, so that the benefits to be derived therefrom might become part of the public consciousness. That this is true has been increas- ingly evident to the State Forester during his work in the state in the past five years, and it has also become much more evident that one of the most important points where the education should be carried on was in the public schools and thence through the children and by their agency, into the homes. Addresses have been made by the State Forester and his staff before the assembies of the public schools, women’s clubs of the state, boy and girl scout crganizations, civic clubs, and farmers’ meetings. In addition a large number of addresses have been delivered before interested timberland owners throughout the eastern section of the state in the interest of the formation of Forest Fire Protective Asso- ciations, the nature of which has been discussed earlier in this report. The State Forester prepared a paper by invitation for the Tenth Southern Forestry Congress held in Louisville, Kentucky, February 15-17, 1928, also addressed by invitation the Eleventh Southern Fores- try Congress at New Orleans, April 4-5, 1929. Bulletins The following bulletins have been issued during the past period: “Forest Trees of Kentucky—How to Know Them” has proved very popular, being used to a great extent as a tree textbook in the state schools. A statistical leaflet, ‘“Kentucky’s Forests,” has also been widely distributed. Publicity This department has continued its policy of presenting the fea- tures of its work at every opportunity in the magazines and news- papers throughout the state, and the press has cooperated to the fullest extent. Each year since and including 1924 the Forest Service has had an exhibit at the State Fair in Louisville. This has increased a little in size and scope each year. The material making the exhibit embraced a display of various uses for wood material, distribution of wood products in the state, and transparencies and bromides representing various phases of forest life and conditions. The value of this exhibit as far as the general public is concerned is adequately shown by the interest displayed therein. KENTENIA STATE FOREST The boundary survey was completed of the six tracts comprising this State Forest of 3,624 acres. Boundary lines have been blazed and 132 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE painted, corners reset and marked where necessary. As this forest is included within the Kentenia Cooperative Forest Fire Protective As- sociation, one steel 100-foot fire observation tower was built on it during the past fiscal year. This tower is connected by telephone with nearby fire wardens, also with one of the main Bell Company lines. A trail has been constructed so that tourists and local visitors may have access to the tower and camp grounds surrounding it, at all times. As this forest lies adjacent to the Mayo Trail Highway No. 23, in Harlan County, it will become more serviceable to the tourist public when this beautiful highway route receives the traveling public’s atten- tion that it deserves. Due to the small annual State appropriation, there have not been sufficient funds to date for the Department to develop this Forest so that it could be placed on a revenue-producing basis. As the area in which this forest lies is a great coal producing region, the thinnings from the different aged stands on the area could be readily sold for mining props. Figures secured from cruises made in connection with other work over this forest, show that this area could be made financially self- sustaining besides turning in a revenue to the State Treasury within two years if a small added appropriation was given the Forest Service for this purpose. RECOMMEDATIONS 1. The problem of adequate forest fire protection for the timber- lands of the state, is in a measure a financial one. It is a problem of distributing the cost equitably among all timberland owners. New improvements and betterments in organization and practice are desir- able and will only be possible when finances are provided. The most important development in the forest protection work, which should be undertaken as soon as funds can be made available, is to extend organ- ized protection work to every timbered county in the state. The per- manent protection resulting from a compulsory fire patrol law is much desired and can only be obtained by the passage of the State Wide Fire Patrol Bill which will be offered for passage during the coming 1930 General Assembly. 2. That lands be purchased or acquired by gift in the state upon which a practical demonstration of the application of forest principles through the management of timber and woodlands may be put into operation. 3. Since the boys and girls of today are the citizens of tomorrow, it is earnestly desired that forestry be taught in all schools of the state. LET’S KEEP KENTUCKY’S WOODS GREEN RECOMMENDATIONS State Fair: Under the Division of State Fair certain figures and comparisons have been made that should receive the closest scrutiny of the mem- bers of the General Assembly, that Kentucky shall make the progress that other states are making. I have submitted figures showing the amounts appropriated by the State, the value of property, the inade- quacy of maintenance fund, premium fund, and annual appropriation for new buildings and buildings needed. Labor Department: Under this Division attention is called to the number of employees, the growing demand for their service, the field of their usefulness, and the necessity of more appropriation if Labor is to receive due and careful consideration. Live Stock Sanitary Board: Due to advanced and progressive ideas in Live Stock Sanitation now existing and the field for greater work along lines of research and investigation, in which this department should be cooperating and to facilitate work now in hand such as eradication of tuberculosis and control of sheep scab. The appropriation for this department should be $50,000.00 annually. Kentucky Forest Service: On the meager sum of $15,000.00 annually the department cannot meet the growing demands on it, nor cooperate fully with the U. S. Department of Forestry. Additional field personnel are needed to promulgate the forestry idea, to teach the fuller utilization of aban- doned farm lands in the growing of timber, to properly watch and protect over 9,500,000 acres of land classified solely for timber. Addi- tional State funds are also needed for the enlargement of our State forest tree nursery and for the securing of the necessary personnel that our State forest land may be administered fully and return a dividend into the State’s treasury. Department of Agriculture: A sufficient sum should be appropriated to put into effect a Pure Seed Law for Kentucky. There is now a very good seed law on the Statute books, but the Legislature has provided no funds for its en- forcement or employment of seed analysts to make proper inspection of seeds offered for sale in this State. This being a regulatory meas- ure should be placed in the Department of Agriculture for enforcement, and sufficient funds provided for fulfilling its provisions. Dog Law: The sheep industry has now reached a commanding position, in Kentucky. The greatest menace to its growth is from the homeless 136 BIENNIAL REPORT OF DEPARTMENTS OF AGRICULTURE and half starved cur. The fee on female should be increased from two to five or ten dollars, thereby eliminating the worthless females. The fee should be collected by the Sheriff at time of payment of other taxes. The amount collected for sheep killed should be based on value as reported for taxation. CORN BORER: Due to the ravages and growth of Corn Borer in States north of Kentucky, it was deemed advisable by the 1928 Legislature to pass a pill setting aside $25,000.00 annually to be used by the Commissioner of Agriculture as an emergency fund to protect Kentucky against the Tavages of this pest. In 1928 there was no reported infestation in the State. In 1929 there was found an isolated case of infestation and in the discretion of the Commissioner a very limited amount of this money | was used for clean up purposes. By this means we feel that the Corn | Borer pest will be kept out of Kentucky for several years. It is my recommendation to the Legislature that this appropria- | tion be continued in like sum for each year of the next biennium, It is properly safe guarded through cooperation of the Commissioner of: Agriculture and the State Entomologist. The agricultural interests of the State will be greatly handicapped in case of an outbreak if there were no funds sufficient to take any precautionary measures that might be deemed necessary. woul 31924 054 541 671
