Crop Conditions For Month OF June


|crops are usually planted In July and
August. On the whole the outlook is
not so gloomy as appeared some
weeks ago.
First Division of State.
Carlisle CountyzCorn growing
very slow. A little laid by and some
not out of the clods. Wheat all cut
and in shock. Shocks thin on ground.
There will be large pea crop sown.
The hay will be used as substitute
for timothy as the meadows were
destroyed by army worms.
Livingston County-Poorest pros
pect for years foi corn crop. Much
of the bottom lands are drowned out
and the remainder has SUFFERED for
cultivation because of the extreme
wet season. Tobacco late and badly
in the grass. Needs more sunshine
and cultivation. Hay crop will be
light. Irish potatoes very good.
Wheat all in shock; berry good, but
yield will be one-half to two-thlrds
of average crop. Fruits inferior.
McCracken County The unfavor-
able weather conditions that prevail
ed during the months of April ana
May. continued through the first half
of June, consequently nearly all
crops are from one to three weeks
late, and generally in bad condition.
The corn, tobacco and pea crops have
all been greatly reduced in acreage,
owing to unfavorable weather for
preparing and planting the land.
Wheat cutting is completed, condi-
tion good and grain very nne. The
yield will equal or exceed last years,
which was below an average.
Ballard County Wheat all cut.
Lots of smut Corn is suffering for
want of cultivation. Farmers behind
with work. Cannot get labor. Hav-
ing plenty of rain. Lots of tobacco
being set now. The tobacco crop will
be late one.
Hickman County-Wheat all in
shock in good condition. While the
Weld will be short. the quality is
very good. The average per acre will
be about eight bushels of all harvest

Frankfort, KY, July 16.--The
first half of the month of June was
quite wet. raining nearly every day .
Severe storms of wind and hail ia
some localities, Corn planting. espe-
|cially in lowlands, that was already
late, was still further retarded by
these excessive rains. The early
planted corn suffered FOR cultivation
and many fields became foul with
grass and weeds. The latter half was
almost ideal, and gave farmers a
splendid opportunity to get their
wheat in the shock in good condition,
and wage . war on the weeds that
were rapidly taking their corn fields.
The acreage of corn is a little
short of last year, owing to the un-
favorable weather that continued
too late in the season for preparation
of much of the low lands that would
have been planted under favorable
conditions. The condition of the corn
crop is not up to the standard, for
the reasons stated and that much bad
seed was planted and failed to germi-
nate, causing a great deal of replant-
| ing and making the crop very irregu-
lar The wheat crop improved mate
rally during the month, but will fail
short of an average crop. While the
yield will be less than an average,the
berry promises to be very fine. The
prospective yield is 16 per cent. less
than the 1906 crop. Oats promise on
| ly about three-fourths of the 1906
crop Many counties report the crop
almost a failure and only few re-
port a prospect for full crop. Rye
promises some better. but considera-
bly, below last year. Hemp is nearly
up to last year in acreage and condi-
ton. Burley tobacco is reported 10
per cent short of last year in acre
age, owing to scarcity OF plants and
labor Much Of this was planted late
in June and will depend largely upon
late fall If It makes a good yield
The dark district has fallen off 2S
lper cent. in acreage for want OF
plants TO set a full crop. Much Of this
is also late. Grasses are doing fairly
well. considering the damage done
by the army worm. The high price
and scarcity Of seed cut the acreage

full crop. The fruit crop. except ber-

The night riders demanded that
Mr. Barefeld should come out to
them, and emphasized their order by
shooting their revolvers. Fearing to
jeopardize the lives of his family, Mr..
Barefeld walked out to where the
men were. He was seized by several
of them, and, amid the screams OF
his wife and little ones. was hur-
ried away from the house in the d.
rection of woods nearby. What hap
pened to Mr. Barefield has not been
revealed. There are many rumors
that he was badly mistreated, and
that he was severely beaten. This IS
denied by others. 1t has been impos-
sible to get a statement from Mr.
Barefeld, himself. His closest friends
say he refuses to make any state
ment whatever.

Springfield, O., July 15.-Gail
Robinson, OF Buffalo. fell 1000 feet
with an airship at 7:15 O'Clock last
evening and, with the exception of a
slight scar on his forehead. escaped
injury.
Thousands of people who were
watching his flight, saw the balloon
drop 10 one side. Then the machine
began to fall rapidly. Many placed
their hands over their eyes, while
women and children ran screaming
and crying, expecting to soon learn
that Robinson's mangled body had
been found in a tree or in field
west of the city.
Instead Robinson was calmly sur
veying his dilapidated looking ma
chine when the people rushed toward
him. With the exception of being as
white as a sheet and having a few
drops of blood ON his forehead he
was all right.
Keeps Head sIilei in Air.
Robinson says that when he start
ed on his second trial to reach the
center of the city he went higher than
usual so as TO get free Of the wind.
