| THE August crop report of the State
Board of Agriculture based on returns
| from s64 township correspondents, re-
ceived from July "a to %, gives the follow
ing totals and per cents: Wheat, 2S,S13,-
600, or 90 per cent. of last years crop,
being an average of 81 bushels per acre.
Percentages compared with 1882: Rye 50,
barley 70, oats 10S, corn 90, potatoes 113,
timothy hay 1O6, clover hay 81, tobacco ss,
sorghum 81. Also, the following percent
ages compared with full crop or prime
condition: Apples %, peaches 81, pears
33, grapes 66, pastures 103, farm animals
1O2. Results of threshing will probably
diminish the wheat to 80 per cent. of last
years. crop. The apple crop is a virtual
failure.
ATTORNEY GENERAL. HoLLINGSwoRTH i:
of the opinion that drug stores can not bt
prohibited under the Scott law from sell
ing distilled liquors by the pint OF quart i
not drank on the premises. What can be
done is to regulate, restrain and prohibi
ale, beer and porter houses, and places o
habitual resort for tippling and temper
ance." A village Council may, by ordi
nance, require such places to be closed a
} 10 O'Clock p. M, without requiring othe
business houses to so close.
THE exact number of places in Cincin
natl, according to the Scott Law returns
where the drinks can be had, is 1854. Th
saloon-keepers watch each other so closel.
+ that there will be little need of efforts upo
f the part of the authorities to discover thos
I who have not paid the tax.
