several hundred young men about
as if with one voice "Hurray! hur-

performance when they wanted to
show their appreciation of anything
they did it by giving tremendous

Live Stock.

Short pastures and scarcity of
stock water are having marked
effect on live stock. Where the
scant grazing has not been supple
mented with some forage crop stock
has grown thin, and is il poor con-
ditiou to withstand the winter.
The most notable feature connect
ed with live stock is the scactity of
hogs being fed for market. The
number is estimated at IS per cent.
of the number IN 1898, and is due,
more than anything else, to the
great loss of pigs during the severe
weather of last winter. Cholera or
other disease prevails to a limited
extent only, and is confined to few
counties. Replies to question
Have you hog cholera in county,"
are 101 in negative and IS in the
affirmative,

Tally in the western and central
sections, where it is necessary to
feed stock same as during the win
ter season. The condition compar-
ed with average years is o5. The
advanced season iprecludes any
hope of frelief from the labor and ex-
pense of feeding stock, and the best
to be done is to soprotect stock and
economize in the use of feed as to

pense of the long feeding season.

The apple cropis one of the light
est ever grown, and is estimated at
but 81 per cent. of the crop of aver
age years. The hot, dry season
caused the fruit to dry up on the
trees, and the per cent. of sound
ripe fruit is very small.
Wheat sowing has begun and is
being pushed with vigor. Stalk
ground is in excellent condition, be-
ing free from weeds and unusually
light and friable, so that where
corn is followed by wheat it will be
seeded under most favorable condi-
tions. The early plowed fallow
land is also in good condition, but
the later blowing is rough and
''cloddy," and the continued dry
weather renders it impossible to
put it in proper order for seedings

Corn.

The average yield per acre Is es-
timated ola bushels. The estimate
on oct. l, 1898, was 325, and for
corresponding date OF 1897 it was
"a bushels.
The drying weather during Sep
tember was of benefit in hastenlng
the maturity OF the crop, otherwise
a considerable loss would have been
sustained by the severe frost of 10Th
and 3Oth; as it is the loss is incon-
sequential, amuunting to but per
ceut. The heaviest loss occurred in
the western section, where the rain
fall was more liberal aud the grow
ing season accordingly prolonged.
The quality in the main is not up
to the standard, beng 'chaffy
and loose on cob.
While the crop is generally dis
appointing, both in yield and quali-
ty, it is rather remarkable that a
few counties, notably Daviess and
Henderson, report the crop one of
the best ever produced.

Tobacco.


In the Burley district the aver
age yield per acre is estimated at
S25 pounds. This is a heavy aver.
age and is mainly due to the uu-
usually heavy yields reported from
the counties of Boyle, Clark, Jessa-
mine, Marion, Mercer and Woodford.
Omitting these counties from the
calculation and the average is al
pounds, which is, in our judgment,
nearer the correct amount, being
within a few pounds of the average
for 1898.
The acreage of the Burley dis
trict, after allowing for losses sus-
tanned by insects and unfavorable
season, was estimated at SO per
cent. of the acreage of 1898. With
approximately the same yield per
acre we man.conc!u lie tha: the Bur-
ley crop of 1899 will amount to SO
per cent. or the crop of 1898.
Worms were very destructive
during the latter part of the season.
With the exception Of damage from
this source and that portion of crop
cut before ripe. in order to save
from firing, the quality is satsfac-
tory. The damage from frost was
very slight in this section, amount
ing to but three.f ,urths of one per
cent.
1.-THE yield per acre for the Dark
Tobacco" district is estimated at
730 pounds, which is IS pounds per
acre less than the estimate for 1898.
The decrease is accounted for by
an imperfect stand and a lack OF
moisture at the time most needed
for the development of the plant.
The acreage was estimated earlier
in the season at 81 per cent. of the
