Renewing farm tags benefits 4H and FFA By Tony Rose 4-H/FFA has an opportunity to raise funds for Adair County and statewide 4-H/FFA programs through the Kentucky Ag Tag Donation program. Since 2012, Kentucky Farmers have the option to make a $10.00 voluntary donation when they purchase or renew their license plate. Commissioner of Agriculture, Ryan Quarles, will again equally divide the amount raised among 4-H, FFA and Kentucky Proud. As an individual that makes the voluntary donation for your farm vehicle, you help 4-H grow strong leaders for tomorrow, advance agricultural education in Kentucky, and promote Kentucky farm products. Farmers can make the donation of $10 when renewing their farm license plates at the county clerk's office in March. With more than 184,000 farm plates bought or renewed each year in Kentucky, the commissioner's action can generate significant funds to support these three outstanding programs.

Letter: Plaster lath and drywall Doug McCammish writes: Most homes older than 70 years will have plaster lath in the walls. Drywall was invented in 1916 (look it up), but was only sold as tiles for a while before they figured out how to make it in sheets. Drywall in homes did not become generally used until the 1950's.Comments re article 102587 Letter Enlightenment on history in the walls 2019-02-28 09:00:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Letter: The plaster process Kenny Davis writes: The laths were nailed to the wall studs, the wet plaster was then applied to the laths, some of the plaster would then go in the spaces between the laths to hold the plaster to the vertical wall. This was labor- and time-consuming. It also required a certain amount of skill. --KennyComments re article 102587 Letter Enlightenment on history in the walls 2019-02-28 08:58:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
