there is three and one-half per cent
of a full crop planted, which would
be about $3.50 acres.
In the county Of Bath, Boone,
Bracken, Fleming, Gallatin, Grant,
Harrison, Kenton, Lincoln, Mercer,
| Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton,
Robertson, Scott and Woodford our
reporters have not reported any to-
bacco as being planted or going
to be grown. Several of the above
counties however, we understand,
will grow a very few crops at the
most.
We understand from citizens of
the following counties reporting the
above that no tobacco will be planted
in Nicholas, Fleming, Bracken,
Franklin, Scott, Woodford. Owen,
Gallitan, Boone, Kenton and Carroll
counties.
Estimated crops in counties not
known as Burley tobacco growing
counties:
Allen, 375 acres; Barren, 500 acres;
Green, AGO acres; Hardin, 300 acres;
Hart, 600 acres; Larue, 400 acres;
Marion, 200 acres; Meade, 400 acres;
Nelson, 400 acres; Ohio, 200 acres;
Carter, 400 acres; Lewis, 600 acres;
Greenup, 400 acres.
DARK TOBACCO.
There has been reported to US that
there will be about "a per cent. of
a full crop planted. The prospect is
that nearly all of this will be pooled.
There are fifteen counties that
constitute the above percentage in
the second division. There are fif-
teen counties in the first division
that report 100 per cent of full crop
planted or an average of 80 per cent
in the whole of the dark tobacco
growing district.
CLOVER AND GRASSES.
Clover and grasses are not as good
as early prospects indicated, but
many farmers are being able to cut
and put in barns without rain. AL
falfa is doing we'll and there is {
very increased acreage Throughout
the State.
POULTRY AND DAIRY.
Below we are giving estimates OF
poultry and dairy products during
the month of June, as furnished VI
by our crop reporters. This inform
alton is very much desired by many
! persons living in the State, but thi
is only a partial estimate and We
would urge that the citizens of the
State assist US in securing these sta
tistics.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1908-07-18

The weather throughout the State
for the whole of June was unusually
warm and there was practically no
rainfall. There was a high percent
age of sunshine, causing general
drought.
WHEAT.
The weather has been very favor
able to the harvesting Of wheat and
rye. In many sections threshing has
commenced and a good yield is being
shown and as fine quality as has
been known for several years. We
have had several reports of insects
damaging both straw and grain.
OATS.
The oats crop for several years has
never been so bad. The drought has
caused almost total failure in many
sections of the State and dry rust
has helped to make the failure.
HEMP
The hemp crop is growing spend
idly, but is badly in need of rain.
BLUE GRASS SEED
The harvest Of blue grass seed is
one of the largest known and the
quality is good, although quite lot
of weeds were present.
CORN
The corn crop will be an average
one, although the lateness of plant
ing and the hot weather is causing
acidity of the soil in the lowlands
and causing the seed not to germi-
nate. Many had to plant their corn
the second or third time.
BARLEY AND MILLET
There is little of either of these
crops grown in the State but both
crops are doing well, but badly need
ing of rain.
THE FRUIT CROP.
There will be about one third Of
crop. There were few cherries, and
plums are not bearing very heavy, as
the destructive "black knot" has
done great damage to the damson
plum trees in the past two or three
years, and there will be few, if any,
damsons this season. The pruning
process does not seem to check the
ravages of black knot. In some
sections of the State there is full
crop of apples and peaches, while in
other sections both crops are almost
a total failure. Many of the limbs
on the peach trees have withered
away and died, the result, presum-
ably, of the last freezes, which came
at time when the trees were put.

In the counties of Spencer, Hart

average crop set out, although set
late, and the prospect is not good on
account of dry weather. In the fol-

Membership in the clearing house

President Havemeyer, in a state

blame for the trouble upon the per-

cause Of the Withdrawals, which on
Saturday became so heavy that it was
believed the bank would not be able
to meet the obligations on Monday.
Two meetings of the directors were
held Sunday. and at the conclusion of

The street railway systems of the
District of Columbia and the financial
question occupied the time OF the house

banking and currency, in an exhaust
i've speech in which he opposed bond

looking to the establishment of a CEN
trail bank. MI. Fowler used for his
text the bill introduced by him early
in the present month providing among
other things for the bank redemption
districts which he argued would meet
national emergencies.
Mr. Fowler declared that the United
States had the worst financial and cur
rency process instead Of the best.
What is the acute question:" he in
quired: lis 1t a bond secured curren-
cy? If that were q wise and proper

had not some nation adopted 1t by
this time? Japan tried it over night"

said, were were promises to pay: a
mere fat issued during the war. They

err the Republican nor the Democratic
party had the political courage to do
its duty.
The subtreasury system of the gov
eminent was attacked by Mr.. Fowler
as a curse to trade and
ut is a source of suspicion he said.
"a source of hatred, a source of sec
tional rivalry"
He Said he knew nothing that SO
constantly reused sectional feeling as
this distribution of money in times of

Encouraged by the valuable results
believed to have been obtained by the
British admiralty in the spectacular
sinking of the old battleship Hero by
modern gunfre lately. the United
States navy department. has deter
mined upon a similar experiment,
though not to be carried out to the
same point. The double turreted mon
,tor Florida is to be made a target
for the big 12-inch rifles Of a battle
ship and the experiment will take
place in the waters of Chesapeake bay

purpose to destroy the monitor, which
was built only about ten years age,
but the gunfire will be directed against
one of her turrets. Much mechanism
is contained in the turret. and infor-
nation is desired as to the effect of
actual gunfire on this controlling ma
