hardy. and escapes all the ordinary

Ash and OIL In Corn.

Some recent Investigations at the
Illinois station show that there Is q
somewhat constant relation between
the amount of ash In the corn kernel
and the oil. That is, that while the
proportion Of oil in the germ Is very
large the proportion of ash Is also
very large. Thus In the hominy glr
ten the proportion OF oil and ash are
quite large.
Thus In n sample Of III analysed
11.13 per cent OF ell the oil was FOUND
In the horny gluten and 7.96 OF all
the ash. In the germ OF the same
sample was found 83.9e per cent OF al
the oil and 74.S7 per cent of all the
ash. In another sample 1923 per cent
OF all the oil was In the horny gluten
and 1s.49 per cent Of all the ash. ~
the germ of tn, same sample
was S0.4G per cent OF all the oil ana
GAS per cent Of al the ash. Thus the
germ and the horny gluten contain
ore than thrse-fourths of all the on

phate which contains practically nc
soluble phosphoric acid and yet isAes-
sentially as efficient as soluble phos-
phoric acid. at least upon the granite
soils Of Rhode Island. In a trial ex-
tending over several years 1t has given
splendid results upon all kinds OF

plication and In later years. This Is q
so-called 'four-lime" phosphate. 1t Is

fact that the extra lime which 1t con-

1t is an ideal source Of phosphoric acid

CROP REPORT.
THE DROUTH THAT HAS PRE-
VAILED THOROUGHLY
BROKEN.

The weather bureau issued the fol-
lowing crop report:
The week opened dry and hot, but
on Wednesday showers began and CON-
tinued during the remainder of the
week. The drouth, which was be-
coming quite severe in the central and
eastern portions of the state. was thor
oughly broken. The rainfall was
lightest in the center of the state,
where most was needed, but there it
was sufficient to relieve the situation.
In some localities very heavy rain and
hail. accompanied by high wind, dam
aged crops to quite an extent, but the
area affected was not large. The tenn
perature was above the normal until
Sunday, when cooler weather pre-
vailed.
Wheat was headed low, with short
heads, and will be q short crop; il IL
affected by rust in some localities.
On account of the drouth there is
some corn land not yet planted, but
early fields are up and doing well.
The latter part of the week was very
favorable for tobacco setting, and the
bulk of the crop will be put out dur
ing the present rainy spell; the plants
are plentiful and generally in good
condition.
Oats, rye and grass show consider
able improvement since the rains be
gan. Gardens and Irish potatoes are
doing well.
The outlook for apples is still en-
couraging; there are few peaches
Small fruits are promising, especially
black berries.
Farm work has been delayed in tn,
western portion of the state by contin
nous rains. bot it has progressed wei
in the eastern and central portions.

Frankfort, June San investiga.
ton of the official records in the exc
cutive department reveals the fact
that Curtis Jett, now on trial at Jack
son for the assassination OF Attorney

cult court and sentenced to pay a fine
of 5000 and serve six months in Jail.
Jett was only required to serve two
months Of his senteRoe, when Gov.
Beckham exercised executive clemency
and RENTED the fine.
February 12. 1909, James B. Mar.
cum, the man who was recently assss'
sinated, reached Frankfort bearing q
petition containing the names OF thir-
ty citizens of Breathitt county pray
ing for the pardon OF Jett.
The petition was signed by A. II.
Hargis, county clerk; Ed Callahan,
present sheriff; ]. B. Little. who is
acting sheriff in the present trial OF
Jett; ]. Cockrill. d. f. Hsrgis and j.
B. Marcum.

New York, June 3-There is much
interest ia the statistics Of suicides
compiled by Prof. Bailey of Yale ex
tending over four years. He has re-
corded nearly $4,000 cases. His ia
bles show that the most most popular
suicide period is between 80 and &C
years, followed closely by the period
between 20 and 80 years Nearly two
thirds Of the suicides are found be-
tween the periods of 90 and 30 years.
II is found that the number Of married
suicides exceeds that Of those who are
single. Shooting is found to be the
favorite method of suicide. followed
closely by poison. Dependency is the
leading motive, claiming about 20 per
cent of the victims. Business loss. III

with about IS per cent each, disap-
pointment in love coming next. Mon
day is the favorite day for committing
suicide, followed closely by Sunday.
For those who have endured through

enough. The crew of the torpedo
boat Rogers. under Lieut.. John Halli-
gan, Jr., United States navy, have

in the navy spssmodically for several
wears, and the discontinuance Of these
experiments next month point to a
possible change from coal. The sue

oil last year has furnished q valuable
precedent.
