report of the statistican of the De-
partment of Agriculture for the month

condition of corn to 1914 from 69.1 in
The month of August and 50 in the
month of July. This is a decline OF
81 points from the August and 81 G

certain.
In addition to the unfavorable pros
poets arising from the low condition
of the growing crop, reports from
eight States, viz: Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska and South Dakota, in re-
spouse to a special inquiry, show that
out of an aggregate 40,S73,9S4 acres
planted in these States, there had been
cut up for fodder or abandoned To-
100000 acres or 80 per cent, which is
little over 90 per cent. of the entire
area planted in the country. The
percentage of that cut up or aban-
doned by States reporting is as follows /:
Indiana, 60; Illinois. 10; Wisconsin,
q iowa, So; Missouri, l6 Kansas,5I !;
81; South Dekota, 81.

In the principal wheat States there
las been considerable improvement in
in the July report in parts
If the wheat region. The crop is full
y up to expectation, and in other
parts the yield has exceeded expecta-

The Tobacco Crop.

Paducan, September o--We had
good rain Monday. Since then tn,
weather has been very warm, tn,
growing crop continues to improve
Have heard OF a few small cutting
being made.
| Mayfeld, September S.--We ha(
another good rain on Monday. Since
the weather has been quite warm
The growing crop continues to i'm
prove. The late planting is mostly
topped. A small beginning has beer
made of cutting,
Hopkinsville, September 6-The
weather is dry again, and has been SC
for the past ten days. A good many
planters will cut early planting nexI
week, as late rains have done no ma.
terial good. The late planting re-
sponded to rains freely. 1t is being
topped 4 to leaves, and will have to
to run ~ :064 gait" to get it under
the string before "Capt. Jack" comes.
Hopkinsville, September 1.-The
crops in the field have made fair
growth since the rain of two weeks
ago, and the most advanced of the
May planting has commenced ripen-
ing. There will be some cutting in
small quantities next week. Aud by
the week after the early planting will
be generally ready for the knife. The
June and July planting have made as
much growth as could be expected
since the late rains, but they are still
very small and will have to be topped
low. The weather is now hot and
dry again.

amount to much. 1t has suffered for
rain. 1t may come out, though, be-
tween now and October, as the rains
have set in. In Grayson county the
tobacco, as far as could see, was
about the same size as when first set
out"
The Winchester CLARK county, Dem
ocrat Of the 4th says: Tobacco cut
ting is in full blast this week, and
much of it is being bought low The
condition is much better than was ex-
pected. and great deal of fine tobac-
co will be in the county. On the
other hand much of it will be late, and
in many places a late stand and dry
weather will insure very small yield

'The warmth of the past past week
has done much to counterfeit the bene-
fetal effect of the rains that fell the
week before while there is no general

pondents say that rain is needed. The
weeks temperature was considerably
above the normal, averaging about Z
degrees per day, and che rainfall oc-
Cured as local showers and was bad

beyond expectation, and some say will
be fully up to the average if favorable
continues. Tobacco cutting
is in progress, though slowly.

Near Hillsdale, Michigan, Rev
Charles Clancy, of Frontier, was
tarred and feathered Wednesday and
rolled down steep hill by IA masked
men, some of them husbands who did
not like the ministers style.
A few years ago, on account of his
troubles, Clancy withdrew from the
Methodist Protestant Church and
started church of his own in little
log building, taking with him five OF
six families.
Mr.. Clancy was returning from
church alone. When about mile
from home he was stopped, pulled
from his buggy, stripped of his cloth
ing and tarred and feathered. He
was dragged long distance before he
was rolled down hill.
All the time he was shouting
"Praise the Lord" and "Glory to
Cod" and it is said his cries were
heard mile distant. He has made
no complaint to the authorities as yet.

UNFORTUNATE Fur TRUCKERS.
The Warm Weather Advancing the
Crops All Along the Line.

Inc w arm W6dCU6r Advancing Cne
Crops All Along the Line.
It is considered unfortunate that the
weather has of late been of such a nature
as to advance the truck crops all along
the section from Florida to points even
north of Charleston.
The significance of this may be readily
understood. Heretofore, as a general
ruls, the season has advanced in regular
progression, the vegetables in Florida
ripening first and being followed by those
in higher latltudes which come on later
The warm season, however, seems TO be
ripening the crop throughout the truck
growing section. The transportation lines
are beginning to fear that they will have
a superb abundance of the produce loaded
on them all at once from all parts of the
southern truck-growing section, which
may result in gorging the northern mar
kets to such an extent that prices will
fall far below even the cost of production.
The truck growers may succeed in reg
ulating the supply, however, in spite of
the advancement of the season. BY a
continuous and careful distribution it may
be made possible to prevent such a state
of affairs as is anticipated on account of
the very warm weather.
Another thing to be feared is the dan
ger from late frosts, which often occur
after this time of the year. 1t is possible,
however, that the weather may continue
comparatively moderate. To all indica-
tions this section will hardly be a suf-
ferer from this source this year.
