Monthly Crop Report.

Tba Der cent. was given at S3.l which
rss fair showing. Since that timo
INC ay and rust has been pretty general
w., the state, and in some counties the
Unit has been very bad, and now from
20 own observation and from talking To-
sa y who have thrashed theirwheat.
don't think the yield will be over half
: CROP. and quito number Of correspon.
dents from the county Of Woodford
acree To- the short crop; one says chat
re wheat was hurt in some places from
frost rust and fly and will not grade
,ssll.the other says; tIn addition to@ly
now sport rust" l think IS per cent.
viii lie the full amount and of an infe-
yiorouality. could mention number
~ counties like the above-in fact there
are very few good reports Those few
counties making good reports will mako
me average higher than 1t really should
ne from the general tone Of the core
snondepts. The correspondent from An.
1erson county thinks that the average
from the county will not be more than
fye or six bushels per acre. The CORE
snondent from Trigg thinks that tho av-
craze weight of wheat of his county will
nat weigh over fifty.five pounds to the
measured bushel. The average of all the
reports is placed at 1913 per cent.
coRN.-The corn crop has improved
yery much since my last report. All the
correspondents agree that the prospects
are very hattering. The correspondent
from Shelby says: Notwithstanding the
rayapes from worms carly in the season,
the outlook for cerals and root crops for
this section is very promising, in fact
very nearly If not quite up TO the gener-
nj average. The growth of corD@ this sea.
son is very uneven. Some Of it very small
and some of it ready to lay by-caused
by having so much replant corn-having
been planted as many as three times,
hut ali looking well and doing wcll7 and
\ where the ground has been well work.
ed. the rains in the last few days will
push it forward very rapidly. The con
dition July l, is placed at $50 per cent.
Acreage compared to full crop is placed
at98.3.
Rye am never able to get very
full report on rye. So many counties
hot raising it and much Of it being sown
for pastures through the winter and
plowed under in the spring. The re-
ports ! have are more favorable than
that of wheat. The condition is placed
at9l per cent.
0ATs-Gn giving my own observation
that did not think the correspondents
Der cent. on wheat low enough, | am
lust the reverse on oats; ] do not think
they put the per cent. high enough. |
think have never seen better crop.
have noticed particularly riding by a
number OF fields the absence of black or
blasted heads--have not seen one. |
think the correspondents from Oldham
and Cumberland, in placing the per cent.
I at Us is not too high. The correspond.
ents from Woodford and Scott place it
atl25. Some few counties place it at
so. The general resume places the av-
erage at 96.7 per cent.
BARLEY 1t never takes long to get the
average condition of barley, 50 few cOuu-
ties riinsing it,. The average of those
reporting it is placed at 81 per cent.
SORGHUM inquired as to the aver
age condition of sorghum. From the
answers il is not as successfully grown
as in former years. The general i'm
pression.seems to be that, through the
falland early winter, or until it freezes,
it's fine food, but after it freezes it is
not much good. The acreage, compared
toa full crop, is placed at ~ per cent.
PoTAToEs-The reports about the po-
tate. crop vary very greatly; some very
good and some very Indifferent. The
acreage, compared to a full crop, is
placed at 974 per cent. The average
condition, July I, is placed at IS per
cent
WooL--The amount of wool clipped
lsplaced at SO per cent.
PAsTuREs-There was very great com.
plant about pastures; in fact they had
commenced to burn from the sparks
from the railroads. Meadows in many
places have suffered from the want Of
moisture, but they will be very much
improved by the late rains. The aver
age condition July /, is placed at so per
cent ~f~<.@
APPLES From the correspondents
report the apple crop will be very large.
Inc condition, July !, is placed at %
per cent
PEAcHEs--Not enough counties re.
porting % make report.
GRAPEsThe average condition of
grapes July !, is placed at "a per cent,
