KENTUCKY CROP REPORT.
Tobacco Below Average conditiOn-sOme
Injury to Corn.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 9.-The Gov
eminent Bureau crop report for Ken
lucky for week ending yesterday,
follows:
The temperature averaged about
normal, but with rather cool nights,
and the week closed with very cool
weather prevailing. Local showers
occurred over the greater portion of
the state, but the rainfall was very
unevenly distributed, some localities
getting too much and others none at
all.
Wheat threshing is practically
completed, and the reports show
that a good yield of excellent quail
ty has been secured. The acreage,
however, was considerably less than
usual.
Corn is beginning to show the eff
fects of the dry weather, and in some
localities has been injured to Sc
rious extent. In the sections having
had plenty of rainfall, it is very
promising.
Tobacco is very uneven, and, as a
whole, is below the average in con-
dition. 1t has been topped low in
most places. In some localities there
is complaint of frenching, and in
some parts of the Burley district it
has not made vigorous growth.
Oats and rye have generally been
cut and stacked in good condition
and bid fair to give good yield.
Gardens have been very fine, but
in some localities they are now suf-
fering from drought. Early potatoes
are very fine. Melons are generally
in good condition.
Pastures are needing rain, and in
Some parts of the state are badly
dried up.
Peaches are turning out better
than expected, but are very irregu-
lar, some localities having none,
while in others the trees are loaded.
Apples continue to fall and will be
q short crop.
Flowing for fall sowing of wheat
has begun and farm work is we'll up.

i According to the New York Sun,
Georgia mas held the lead in the pro-
duction of peaches for the eastern
market since 1902, and it Is likely to
for years to come the leading peach
state in the Union. The supremacy
has been wrested from Maryland.
Twelve years ago the order of the
chief peach producing states /:
Maryland, six million one hundred
thousand trees; Delaware, four mil
lion five hundred and twenty thou
sand; New Jersey, four million three
hundred thousand; Georgia, three
million seven hundred thousand.
Since that time the peculiar excel
lence Of the soil and climate of parts
of Georgia for peach growing has
been established, with the result
that Georgia has largely increased
the number Of its peach bearing trees
while In the other states there has
been diminutiou In the number of
trees. In the fall OF 1901, the num-
Der Of peach trees reported in these
states, and expected to be in good
bearing in 1902, was: Georgia, sew
en- million six hundred and sixty
thousand; Maryland, four million
fifteen thousand; New Jersey, two
million seven thousand: Delaware,
two million four hundred thousand.
In the following year, accordingly,
Georgia had the bumper crop.

Live Stock Notes.

If any Of the forage crops are to be
fed green, they should be sOwn thick
ly, so that the stalk may remain
small and eataDle.
Sheep and cows do we'll on weedy
pastures. The sheep deyour the
tender weeds as ravenously as II IL
were the most luscious grass. 1t is
believed that few sheep may be
profitably kept upon every farm.
1t is now an established fact that
much more feed can be produced for
stock and they can be kept to a bet
ter advantage, by raising soiling
crops than by letting them remain
on the same ground as a pasture.
Attention is being called to the
fact that there are a great many
more bulls being produced than heif-
ers. 1t is believed that the reason
for this is to be found in that there
are so many poor bulls doing serv-
Ice.
Horses will sometimes become
lame without apparent cause. The
trouble is often i'm the ankle joint.
Wrap we'll with cloth and saturate
with hot water, not too hot, and
leave on all night. Repeat the treat
ment every night for week.
Cows expected to calve should not
be permitted to get poor. They
should be fed, unless on good pas
ture. Cows expected to become
fresh in the spring should be we'll
cared tor during the winter, other
wise the calves will be small, weak
and worthless.
Young horses are the most proflt-
able. They may be found that are
about as gentle as an old horse. The
old horse decreases in value all the
time and is not much in demand.
The young horse holds his own or
may increase in value and is always
salable.
There is an advantage in going to
large market with stock or pro-
duce. The BUYERS and sellers are
there. The buyer has a large lot
from which to choose, and the seller
has a large number of customers.
He also sees what others are doing,
and his wits are sharpened.-Texas

hhds; sales tor year, 1921 hhds; Of
