Crop Report for June.

The crop report of the State Agri-
culture Department for the month of
June has been sent out.
1t is as follows:
The early part of the month Of
June was generally dry giving a
good opportunity to cultivate the
growing crops. Good showers began
about the 25th. While they were
partial, they continued until nearly
all parts of the State were reached
aud benefited. In some localities they
were severe and washed hill land
badly, doing some damage by drown
ing crops In low places. There are,
however, still some sections that COM
plain of drouth
The wheat harvest is over through
out the. State. and thrashing has be-
gun. The acreage is short and tbe
crop is reported generally thin, but
the head filled well and the grain is
I exceptionally good. There is some
little damage by mold, caused by
frequent showers while In shock.
The oat crop is below the standard,
having headed too low on account of
the dry weather in June. Rye is
fairly good, just little below the
average
The corn crop is a little late, but
has been we'll worked and gives
promise of a full crop.
Since hemp has gotten out of the
way of the cut worm it is doing fairly
well. Barley is reported below an
average.
The average of tobacco, especially
in the western or dark district, is
considerably reduced. Much of the
planting all over the State was done
so late that it will require an ex-
ceptionllly good season to insure
maturity in time to make a good
quality.
Meadows, pastures and clever are
reported In fair condition. The acre
age IN stock peas is less than an
average on account of high prices of
seed There will be foil potato
crop, both in acreage ana condition.
Live stock of all kinds is reported
in good condition The apple and
peach crops are reported about one
half Of full crop. Apples continue
te fall off the trees before they ma
ture. Other fruits, including grapes,
are in good condition and pro mise

Garnishee Law Changed.

OF interest to merchants Is the new
garnishee bill, which was passed by
the last Legislature and which be-
came only this month law without
the Governor signature. The bill
appeals the provision of Section 1901
Kentucky Statutes, which, With refer
ence to exemptions from attachment,
reads: Provided, That the exemp-
tion of fifty dollars shall not apply
to debts contracted for food. fuel,
medicine, raiment or house rent for
the family" Under the old law the
wages of person earning less than
$50 a month, were not subject to
attachment unless for food, raiment,
fuel, etc Now the exemption for
debts of that character is The same
as the exemption of any other debts.
Under the present law unless a person
earns more than $50 a month his wag-
es cannot be attached for any debt.
