HALF CROP
ALL POSSIBLE.
Quality Poor, Manufac-
lures Short.
And There Is no Reason for
Cutting Out Next
Crop

Colonel joel B. Fort, who Is speak
ing in the interest of the tobacco poo
says the Lexington Herald, returned
to Lexington Sunday from a ten days
tour of Kentucky and Ohio. Wher
asked about the crop of tobacco he
said:
81 have been growing tcbaccO an Df
my life and thfnk tina! have had ex-
perience enough to make me competent
to judge the present. condition of the
crop. Since | have been fhere. more
;han two months,I have travelled over
every part of the Burley growing Sec
iton, and have talked with tobacco
growers from every county in the dis
trlct.
81 have never seen the prospects
for an average crop of tobacco as pool
in all these years. have seen to-
bacco come out of a dry spell into
a rrainy spell and make fine tobacco.
| have never seen it come out OF an
exceedingly wet spell into a dry spell
and make a crop. In all my travels
have seen only one crop large enough
to Top. Ordinarily the bulk of the
tobacco should have been topped by
The fourth day of July.
Hundreds of acres have been
abandoned en- account of the grass and
the weeds during the wet spell. Hun
dreds of acres have been planted in
late corn and millett, and The tobacco
which has been cultivated, and from
which grass has been taken, is still
yellow and shows no signs of growth
Hundreds of acres are blooming only
short distance from the ground
rendering the plant practically worth
| less"
When asked what was his estimate
of dAe percentage of the crop, he
said:
Judging from what | have seen my
self. and information hat have re-
ceived, frcm reliable and competnet
sources, am satisfied that there can
not be possibly more than half crop

possibility of satisfactorily curing to.

Fiscal Court, road supervisor nor ov-
.-.- =, -. = ..r,,op,,i.lo

Fiscal Court, road supervisor nor ov
erseens are in any way responsible.
We suggest that in this case on
in any conditions that may arise, the
people who are suffering from the
bad conditions of the roads call your
magistrate and road ovenseer's at
tertion to the matter and they Will
no doubt, have the trouble remedied
at once, rememberia g that a little
patience and endurance should be
INDUCED SO that fair test of the
road working system may be had. AT
ter which if it proves to be unsunc-
cessful We win all agree to discard
1t and try another.
II anyone feels so greatly agrieved
thar he desires to punish someone for
failure TO put the roads IN proper
condition for travel the law provides
thai the Fiscal Court may be indict-
ed for sudh failure. This has been
the law for many years but to our
knowledge 1t has not been invoked
in any case in this county. The writ
er knows, from having discussed with
each member of the Fiscal Court and
with many interested in good roads
In Ohio county, that they are sincere
dn believing that the present plan OF
road, working will result, in q brief
period, in a much better system OF
roads than Ohio county has ever had.
The court is composed of eigh- mig
istrates and the County Judge, all of
whom are imbued with the idea OF
raising the standard of the public
roads to the best a5tainable. They
have interestingly noted the failure
of former systems of working to pro-
duce this condjtiOn. They are direct
ing their whole energies and skill to
betterment of our road sys EN- real
izing as all thoughtful citizens should
do, that ii will require sometime to
CONVEX; worn out depleted roads dnto
travelable highways.

NOTE BY COUNTY ATTOR


In response to the foregoing inqui-
ry as to who is responsible for The
,"deplorab,e" ooneit,on of the public
road mentioned quoting from sec
ton 1906 Kentucky Statui'es the Fis-
cal Court has general charge and
supervision of the roads and bridges
and prescribe the rules and regula-
TORS for repairing and keeping same
in order. In conformity to This
statute the Fiscal Court has appoint
ed a road supervisor and an overseer
in each of the magister,al disrticts
who are under heavy bond fer che
faithful performance of their duaes'
Hence 1t Is the duty of the Fiscal
Court, road supervisor ard oveaseers
to see chat the public roads are put
in proper condition for travel and
thus maintained. The present system
of road repairirg was thoroughly DIS
cussed and deliberated upon before 1T
was inaugurated. That 1t would meet
with some objection at f's incepocn
was agreed by all, but it was Nike
wise the unanimous opinion of the
Fiscal Court and The best inform
ed road men in Ohio county with
whom THE Court consulted freely that
the plan would prove satisfactory to
the people, as q class A
similar plan has been very safas-
factoIdly maintained In Butler, Nun

roads are ideal as compared with
the roads in Ohio county. The plan
was undertaken not with the view OF
satisfying every indwidueIl On the
county, as TIE Fiscal Court recog-
nized that this would be impossible,
but for ehe purpose of putting ''he
