"As the result of extensive inquiry

entering school, which can be easily
done bya cardboard of test letters.

A Noble Man.

There never has been a time, since
he was citizen of this city, when
Mr.. Jas. H. Graham has not been
ready to do every thing in his power
for the best interests of his people.
Every time we have had an epidemic
or washout he has been in the fore
front of relief and helpfulness.
In the present emergency, when it
became necessary to take charge of
and manage the persons who have
the smallpox, Mr.. Graham, quietly
and without any buster, took up the
work, and has assisted in every way
in improving the sanitary conditions.
His splendid knowledge of the
theory and practice of med cine,
although not practicing physician,
has made his services invaluable.
And the more so because he has no
ak to grind or any motive except
that of pure philanthropy.
We doubt not, from our knowledge
of the man, that he will be surprised
and not altogether pleased when he
sees this article in print, as he is
naturally modest.
This city owes him debt of
gratitude tnat it will be hard to pay.

Kentucky Crop Report.

Reports received this month
from 155 correspondents rep
resenting 104 counties.
WHEAT.
Winter wheat harvest is over
and threshing has begun in
many of the States in the
winter wheat belt. So far re-
ports from threshers bear out
predictions of a decreased yield
and it is safe to say total yield
of winter wheat will fall short
of ante harvest estimates.
In Ohio threshing develops,
with few exceptions, a light
yield with quality good. In
Indiana the yield is falling far
short of previous estimates and
the quality is generally poor.
Threshing has not begun in
Michigan but former estimates
of a poor crop will be borne out
with quality generally poor.
Missouri crop is much below an
average in quantity, and quality
not fully reported. Kansas
crop is poor one with many
acres not harvested.
Spring wheat is from two to
three weeks late with pros
poets favorable for a full yield
on an average acreage.
Threshing in this State was
well under way at close of the
month. The yield is light as
previously indicated, and, gen.
orally speaking, results are
short of expectations. A few
early crops that escaped damage
from fly and rust are yielding
well. The quality is superior
as a rule. The average yield
per acre is 80 bushels. For
the past three years the esti-
mated average yield per acre
was, for 1898, 13 bushels; 1897,
II bushels; 1896, 81 bushels.
By sections the average yield
is, for western, 10 bushels;
central, 1912; southeastern, 7
bushels.
CORN.
The corn crop is very uneven
in appearance. Early corn is
laid by in good condition and
some of it is silking and tassel-
ing. Medium early corn is not
so promising, is somewhat
ragged as to stand and is suffer-
ing injury from insects. Chinch
bugs are present in a number
of counties but the damage is
confined to cornfelds adjacent
to fields of wheat. There is a
considerable acreage of very
late corn as result of failure to
secure a stand and the planting
of abandoned tobacco fields to
corn. Cultivation was retarded
early in season but later was
pushed vigorously. Corn is
now clean but the excessive
cultivation necessary to clear it
of weeds has left it in poor con-
dition to withstand the dry
weather now prevalent, except
in sections that have been re-
lieved by local showers.
The condition averages SO, a
loss of one point since June
LIST. The average condition on
this date for the past two years
We're: 1898, 90; 1897, 81. The
! condition by sections shows as

TOBACCO.

IOBACCO.
The acreage of tobacco is
estimated at SO per cent. of the
acreage, of 1898. A full acreage
was planted but the damage by
grasshoppers has materially
affected the acreage. The de-
struction wrought by these in
sects this year is something
unknown in the history of to-
bacco growing in the State.
Early tobacco escaped damage,
but late has suffered severely,
many crops being set the third
time. A majority gave up
after the second trial and
planted to corn or peas. By
section the acreage shows, for
western 80 per cent. of 1898
acreage, and for central Sc per
cent. The southeastern section
grows comparatively little to-
bacco.
The condition compared with
average years is 70. The con-
dition as of this date for past
three years was, for 1898, 90;
1897, 68; 1896, 80.
Late set tobacco is suffering
greatly for lack of moisture.
Worms are reported plentiful
in a number of counties.
The condition of oats has
improved from 80 on June LIST
to s. July LIST, and now promise
a good yield per acre. The
straw is short but heads fine
length and we'll filled.
Hemp has suffered somewhat
from dry weather yet the con-
dition averages SO as compared
with average years, which is s
points higher than the average
for the past three years.
The number of acres of
clover cut, compared with 1898,
is 81. The quality is affected
by the presence of an unusual
amount of "white blossom. "
With exception of some damage
by rain to early cut clover ii
was saved in good condition.
Timothy meadows are in
poor condition, being filled
with "white blossom" and
other weeds.
Pastures are beginning to
suffer from dry weather, and
the condition is now 90 as COM
pared with average years.
Fruit prospects have de-
clined as the season advanced.
Pears have still a fair per cent,
of fruit remaining. Apples
have dropped badly, and the
outlook at present is for half
crop. Early apples are ripe but
inferior in quality.
The crop of wild blackberries
is small in yield and very
inferior in quality.

Commissioner of Agriculture.
