The weekly crop report for Ken.
lucky is as follows:
The weather WAS favorable: high
temperature prevailed during most Of
the week, with abundant sunshine.
Local showers occurred on the cath,
and 26th., and a general rain fell on
the 29th. Farm wors advanced well,
except the transplanting OF tobacco
and growing crops made reasonably
good progress.
Wheat in the northeastern and some
of the central counties is very poor,
but it has improved generally, and in
many of the western counties . fair
yield is eJpected. On the whole, the
prospect is much better than at the
close of the winter. though there can
not be near a full crop.
Corn is generally thrifty and the
soil in good condition. A good deal of
corn was destroyed by cutworms, but
the ravages of these pests are now
lessened.
Tobacco plants are quite small.
especially in the Burnley district
Transplanting progressed slowly. be-
ing retarded by dry weather and the
smallness of plants.
Oats are doing very we'll. Grasses
and pastures have suffered for rain,
but are now improving. the yield of
early hay will be short. Late forage
crops. such as peas, cane and millet,
are being sown.
Hemp has been badly damaged in
some localities by cutworms; other
wise It is in good condition.
Minor crops and gardens are adj
vancing moderately well.
There will probably be somewhat
larger crop of peaches than WAS indi-
Gated by previous reports. Strawber-
ries are being marketed.

MRS. WHITTEMORE ON
THE ST. LOUIS SYNDICATE

Through the courtesy of the New
York and Brooklyn Press, attention
was promptly called to statement
advanced during my address on jan
uarp 7th, before the Ladies Branch of
City Missions held at the Lafayette
Presbyterian Church (Dr.. David
Gregg, pastor) not only concerning
the $125,OOO then raised by that
wicked syndicate formed in st. Louis
amongst the Procurers, Saloon and
Dive Keepers, but of some of the
infamous methods concocted to de-
coy young girls, (between the ages of
fourteen and twenty from their
homes to a life of degradation and
shame.
Without thought of competition,
solely desiring to lose no time-for
souls are at stake, the Door of Hope,
as a unit, most earnestly solicits the
sympathy and cooperation, financial
ly, as well as otherwise, of the public
at large, to further their efforts in
the preventive and rescue work
amongst unprotected girls during the
ST. Louis Worlds Fair.
Nearly four thousand have been
lovingly cared for at the first Door
Of Hope during these past thirteen
years, to say nothing of the sixty
homes and more which followed in
this and other countries, where many
thousands have been equally rescued
and saved during this time.
The utmost precaution has been
resorted to upon the part of the
workers and co-laborers, while OBJ
tanning knowledge of some of their
diabolical methods and cunning, which
we fear has already achieved sufficient
to rend many hearts, and as the OPP
posite parties are continually on the
alert to cover up their tracks, much
information which might be published
must necessarily be withheld if what
is so DESTROYS is to be effected.
Numbers Of workers will be station
en- in various places throughout the
fair, ready to be of service to any I'M
protected girl and with kindly tact
endeavor to obtain her confidence,
while cautioning her concerning the
designs of these wicked procurers, etc.

will be promptly acknowledged if
forwarded to The Door of Hope, New
