Crop Report.
Condition of Crops and
Live Stock, June I, 1908.

Replies were received this month
from l54 correspondents, representing
l04 counties.
WHEAT.
For the benefit of the farmers of
Kentucky and others interested, a
brief review of the condition of the
wheat crop i'm the principal wheat
growing States is presented. To use
the data compiled by the various
State bureaus would delay this re-
port longer than is desirable, and
statements here made are based upon
information contained i'm the u. s.
Climate and Crop Service for those
States.
In the States of Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Illinois every indica-
tion points to a full crop on an aver
age acreage. No damage whatever
Is reported in these States with the
exception Of injury from local wind
and rain storms i'm the State of Illi-
nois. In Iowa the crop of winter
wheat has attained very rank
growth, and apprehension that the
crop will fall or badly lodge is felt.
The rainfall has been excessive, and
the crop suffered from overflow and
storms and is in danger of being at
tackled by rust. The spring wheat
crop of Iowa is very promising at
this stage.
In Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri
the crop is very rank in growth and
promises full yield. The presence
of chinch bugs is noted i'm these
States, but no damage has so far re-
suited. Spring wheat in Nebraska
starts with indications favorable for
large yield and the acreage is large
ly increased.
In Kentucky the crop has improved
over the excellent condition shown
on May lst and now shows an aver
age condition for the State of IO4, a
gain of three points during May. On
June 1, 1897, the condition was 93; on
June l, 1896, the condition was 81.
The Central Section continues to
show the highest average condition,
lO7, against los on May list. Cores
pondents report the crop unusually
fine, heads good length and well
filled. In a number of counties lying
north Of line drawn from Franklin
county to Rowan county the rainfall
has been deficient during May, and
in these counties the crop is begin
ming to show the effects Of drouth.
An early harvest is indicated.
In the Western Section the condf-
tiOn averages lO2, gain of one point
during May. Here the rainfall has
been excessive during May, and re-
ports of rust on blades and damage
otherwise from excessive moisture
are not tinfrequent. fn Christian coun-

u CoLoRED MAN DRowNED-On
last Friday Mart Gossett, we'll
known colcred man living on Rich
ard Bigstairs farm, in the Flat
Greek section, borrowed scythe
from J. W. Fassett to cut the growth
of briars aud weeds in graveyard
near by. That day was the last
time he was seen about home% His
wife being uneasy about him went
to the Flat Greek store to make in
quiries about him Monday. Some
one there told her Mart had Joined
the army and gone to Cuba. She
started home and on passing pool
of water in Flat Creek smelt some
thing offensive. Looking in the
water she discovered her husbands g
body. II developed that Mart went
turtle hunting Friday and caught
three which he left on the bank.
Some boys came along and, to joke
Mart, took his turtles and hid
them. The inquest jury returned
a verdict that deceased came to his
death by accidental drowning.
