Iune Crop Report.

Reports coming to this Depart
ment as to condition of crops on
the first day of June show the con-
dition of wheat to be 75.4 per cent.
mis- is decrease of nearly A per
cent. from 70 per cent. since the
first of May.
The wheat crop has not come
out as it has sometimes after a
severe freezing during the winter.
With an acreage of 1873 per cent,
and condition of 75.4 per cent,
there is not great prospect for a
wheat crop in the State this year.
Condition of rye is given as 1872
per cent; the corn acreage as in
Dictated is 1926 per cent, or an
average crop condition of corn
81.S per cent. The great amount
of rainfall and flood conditions
prevented the sowing of large
crop of oats, 1871 per cent. being
reported, the condition of which is
46.3 per cent. Potatoes is one of
Che most promising crops Ken
lucky has this year. The acreage
being 95.3 per cent. and the con-
,dition 95.9 per cent. The per
cent. of dark tobacco transplanted
June tie first is Ola per cent,
indicating rapid progress is being
made in the planting of this crop.
The Burley section has trans
planted only 51.1 per cent. of its
crop. The recent dry weather
has prevented the rapid trans
planting of tobacco, and the use of
settlers" has been resorted to in
order to get the crop out.
Both the pig and lamb crops are
short ones, indicating a crop of
1876 per cent. of pigs, and 1877
xper cent. of lambs. The shortage
t-of pigs and lambs is in a great
measure due to severe winter and

unfavorable spring conditions.
Poultry has also suffered in this
respect. The fruit crop is not a
good one. Condition of apples,
70.4 per cent; peaches, els per
cent; pears. y. 8 per cent; plums,
S1.S per cent; grapes, 1921 per
cent. is reported. Blackberries
are not to be so plentiful this year.
Only 1912 per cent average crop
reported. with raspberries but lit
tie better, III per cent.
Blue grass is reported as show
ing a condition of 1885 per cent,
alfalfa 81 per cent, and clover
1874 per cent. Some places re-
port an entire failure of clover,
and others an unusually good
crop. The same is true of the
fruit and berry crops. Failure is
reported from some points in the
State, and an unusually good con-
dition in others. The southern
section of the State, as a rule, re-
ports wheat fairly in good condi-
ton, while the central and north
ern sections of the State report an
unusually poor condition exists.
Taken as a whole, the report for
June indicates that it will be i'm
possible for Kentucky to produce
an unusually large grain crop even
with the most favorable weather
conditions prevailing the remand
err of the season.

Imports OF luxurleS.

Wnlcn ENDS with THIS mO0Jn VIII
exceed 200 million dollars in value.
Under this term, ''luxuries," are
included such articles as diamonds,
art works, laces and embroideries,
champagne and other wines, to-
bacco and manufactures thereof,
ostrich feathers, artificial flowers,
toys, perfumeries and cosmetics,
jewelry, manufactures of gold
and silver, and numerous 9TH
ers of this general character.
In many of these articles, es-
pecially the more important ones,
the imports of the fiscal year of
1912 will exceed in value those of
any earlier year. Art works, for
example, show for the nine months
ending with March, a total ex-
ceeding by so per cent. the high
est record of any earlier year, and
will approximate forty million
dollars in value for the full fiscal
year, as against 22t million dol
lars in 1911 and 81 millions in
1910.
Diamonds will also show a large
total for the fiscal year 1912. The
nine months figures thus far re-
ceived by the Bureau of Statistics,
Department of Commerce and La
Dor, show for diamonds and other
precious stones, total of 800
million dollars, indicating for the
full year a total of about Al mil
lion dollars, thus exceeding the
record of any earlier year except
1910, when the total was nearly
48 million dollars, and 1907, when
the total was 42t millions. Un-
cut diamonds will amount to about
one-fourth of the grand total of
precious and semi-precious stones.
Laces and embroideries are also
an important factor in the general
group of "luxuries," or articles of
voluntary use, imported. They
will amount in value the current
year to about A million dollars.
The growth in the importation of
this great group has been very
rapid, the total of 1902, a decade
ago, having been less than thirty
million dollars, and the increase
in the decade fully so cent.
This total of A million dollars
includes laces and embroideries,
edgings. insertings, ruchings,
trimmings, tuckings, lace window
curtains, and other articles of this
general character, whether made
of cotton, silk or the group of
raw materials usually termed
'bers," such as fax. ramie, etc.
Those manufactured from cotton,
however, form more than three
fourths of the total value of the
group.
The Bureau of Statistics this
year for the first time separates
the group, cotton, laces and en-
broideries," into its principal
constituents. The first nine
months under this new and more
detailed grouping shows, of cotton
embroideries about Is million do
lars; laces, about IL million dol
lars; lace window curtains, three
quarters of a million; and hand
made laces little over half mil
lion dollars.
Other articles and groups Of
articles which may properly be
termed 'luxuries" are tobacco and
manufactures thereof, which will
amount for the year to about 80
million dollars; toys, about 8 mil
lion dollars; ostrich and other
feathers, artificial flowers, cham
payne and other wines, beads and
ornaments, musical instruments,
perfumeries and cosmetics, and
manufactures of gold and silver.

st. Louis.-Mrs. c. w. Norris of
Chester ILL.,, is being treated at a To-
cal hospital for an unusual affliction
which has made her bones so brittle
they break under the slightest pres
sure.
Her right arm was broken when
she turned i'm bed two days ago She
already has suffered fractures of hes
left arm and hip and she now is in
such condition that she fears to
move unassisted.
When the nurses turn her in bed
they handle her with the greatest
care, lest other bones be broken by
the lightest movement.
The brittleness of the bones is
known to medical men as "decalcifi-
cation" In the case of Mrs. Norris,
the decalcification was caused by car
cinoma of supra-renal capsule, accord
ing to her attending physician.
The supra-renal capsules are small
glands attached to the upper extrem-
ity of each kidney. The carcinoma,
which is a malignant tumor, has fast
ened itself to one OF these glands and
is causing the substance of the bones
to deteriorate.

NO MORE SCHOOL SHOOTING.

Wilmington, Del.-James Powell

Bridge school district, recently, was
arraigned before General Sessions
court for assault, but the case was
retired. The shooting took place in
the school building, when Fox at
tempted to eject the boy after he had
refused to obey the teacher.
Deputy Attorney General Wolcott
objected to Powell being paroled. He
said there has been much violence in
the district and that one boy had been
shot and killed as result of this law
lessness. He agreed to have the case
retired, pending Powell's good be-
havior, as Miss Cam, the school tea
cher, had agreed to look after the boy
The court warned the boy not to
carry weapons and to obey his par
ents and teacher. Any time he mis-
behaves again the court will call UP
