KENTUCKY CROP REPORT.
Condition of Crops and Live Stock
April Ist 1900.

WHEAT.
The average condition of the wheat
crop, compared with normal on April
LIST, is SO, which is IL points above the
average for the past four years, and one
point below the condition on date of
lSst report.
Ia the western section the condition
is %, in the central it is 81, snd in the
southeastern it is 80. This ia 4 falling
off during the month, with the exception
of the southeastern section, which shows
an improvement in condition.
The crop was subjected to some severe
Tets during Msrch by a low tempera-
ture prevailing during the early portion
OF The month, and the frequent freezing
and thswing later. The i'll effects were
mainly shown in late wheat, aud wheat
on land lmperiectly drained. Early
wheat on well drained coil, though the
blades were Drowned, appears to have
suffered no permanent injury. Appre-
bension is still felt in some sections Of
future injury by "hy," and some reports
OF recent injury from this insect are re-
ceived. The probability OF the "ay"
working injury at this season is 80 re-
mote we are inclined to the opinion that
the injury mentioned is traceabe TO
some other cause.
OATS.
Little progress has been made in oat
seeding to April LIST. The acreage is esti-
mated at 06 per cent OF the acreage OF
1899. A number OF counties report u
largely increased acreage, but on the
whole, the production OF oats has shown
a decrease in the State for number of
years past.

OF the backward season. Preparation of
the soil is now being pushed with all
possible speed, and in the extreme
western section of the State some corn
has been planted. Indications point to
an increased acreage, but no estimate is
attempted at this date.
Preparations are on foot for a large
acreage of tobacco, and with favorable
season at setting time and a plentiful
supply of plants we may expect this
crop to be "record breaker" in point of
acreage. Plant beds, though sown late
and so far without season conducive to
growth, are in fail condition.
Clover was badly winter-killed and
pastures and meadows show injury from
sudden changes aud low temperature.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
The crop OF spring lamos is near an
average one, Notwithstanding the fire..
quent "cold snaps and such cold, wet
weather, occurring at the time when the
maximum loss might have been sustain
ed. The high price of lambs has in
duced farmers to provide better shelter
for their aocks, and the loss was miti.
gated to some extent by reason OF this
fact. Feed is scarce, pastures are in
poor condition, and to keep the lambs in
thrifty condition till the grazing season
is serious question now with flock
owners. The number of spring lambs
living is SO per cent CT the number OF
average years. A lose OF per cent of
sheep was sustained from dogs during
the past year.
