kentucky Crop Report for
The Month Of July.

Owing to the continued wet weather
farming interest of the State have been
greatly damaged, and should it contin-
ue to rain as it has during the first part
OF the season crops of all kinds will
be damaged very much.
Wheat. Conditions are very bad at
the present time, there being so much
rain it has caused a great portion to
sprout in the stack or shock, causing
the quality to be very poor. The aver
age yield will be about ten bushels per
acre, selling at from SIZE to 81 so per
bushel.
Corn. There seems to have been one
of the largest corn crops planted that
we have had in many years, with con-
ditions fairly good owing to so much
rain retarding the cultivation to some
extent. Some fields not being plough
ed more than once, but with rain at the
right time this will make a fair yield
but poor quality, being light and
chaffy. Corn is now selling higher than
was ever known before prices ranging
from Soc to $1.O0 per bushel.
Oats. Oats have suffered greatly
from the continued wet weather, caus-
ing them to fall down and great many
not being harvested on that account.
The average yield of the oats cut being
about twenty bushels to the acre.
Price ranging from 40c to 75c per
: hushel.
Dark Tobacco. There was a large
acreage of dark tobacco planted but
large portion has been destroyed by
r'tae heavy rains and storms in many
counties of the Dark District and show
ing at the present time not more than
seventy-five per cent. of a crop with
the prospects bad for this on account of
the quality being bad the yield will be
cut in half.
Burley Tobacco. The largest crop
has been planted than was ever planted
inithis district before. Reports of this
month show that the crop will be cut
far below an average on accent of so
rauch rain, causing many acres to be
abandoned entirely, and others not to
make more than half crop or less, and
what is saved will be light and not
yield more than seven or eight hundred
pounds per acre.
Potatoes. There is one of the largest
acreages Of potatoes ever planted in
the State, and the yield is and will be
about 100 to $50 bushel per acre selling
from 60c to 81. so per bushel.
Fruits. The reports on apples varies
very much, some show very large crop
while others show a very small one.
Peaches are not doing what they
should. being full of worms have fallen
off, cutting the crop shorter than it
would have been had they been sound.
Horses seem to be holding their own,
but the price seems to be lower in some
sections of the State than in many
years, selling in some counties from
$4,000 to $4,000 head.
! Mules. There is a smaller number of
mules than at this time last year, and
the price is good. Selling at from $780,
90 to $222. 90 piece.
Cattle. Selling at very good prices
ranging from 3ac to SC per pound.
Sheep. Are doing well selling at
fairly good prices ranging from 4sc to
&c per pound.
Hogs are selling at very good prices
ranging from to &c per pound. With
the exception of cholera in some Sec
tons among hogs and scabbies among
sheep the condition of all live stock is
good. Respectfully submitted,
James w. Rankin, Asst Com.
