Kentucky Crop Outlook.

The State Department of Agri-
culture in its crop report issued
recently does not take an encour-
aging view of the outlook in Ken
lucky.
The food district in Western
Kentucky brought down the gen.
eral average of all crops more or
ess, as many fields of wheat and
oats were reported as being en-
tirely ruined as the result of flood
conditions. There has been little
corn planted, and on May 1 the
reports from the department cor
respondents indicated that only a
little more than so per cent. of
the blowing had been done, re-
CARELESS of the fact that much of
this work was done last fall. More
than Z per cent. of the wheat
acreage has been abandoned, leav-
ing 1873 per cent. of an average
crop in acreage, the condition of
which is estimated at Is per cent.
The indicated acreage of dark to-
bacco is 98.2 per cent, and the
Burley acreage is SO per cent.
The condition of tobacco beds in
the dark district is given as 1876
per cent, and of the beds for
Burley tobacco 1921 per cent.
Fruits seem to be in fair condi-
ton though practically all fruit
is killed in some parts of the
State" The condition of the
strawberry crop is 90.3 per cent,
which is decidedly gratifying news
to the lovers of that luscious fruit.
A rather unusual situation is re-
ported from some of the tobacco
growing districts where for the
first time in many years farmers
setting out tobacco before corn is
planted. Ordinarily the reverse
condition prevails, but corn plant
ing has been delayed this year by
the heavy and frequent rains
which have made the soil too wet
for preparing corn ground. In
the meantime the tobacco plants
have made such progress as to de-
mand the farmers attention and
as frequent seasons" are not
lacking tobacco is going into the
ground at a rapid rate.
There is generally more or less
solicitude among farmers at this
season of the year over the out
come of agricultural operations.
Probably a month hence the pres
ent discouraging situation will
have been forgotten and in due
season the harvest will be abund-
ant-as it has been heretofore I'M
der similar conditions.

RED CROSS AWARDS PRIZES.

Announcement has just been made
by the national headquarters of the
American Red Cross at Washington of
the names OF those who are entitled
to prizes for exceptionally skillful
first aid work rendered during the
past year.
About a year ago a gentleman, who
does not desire his name to be made
public, presented to the Red Cross
special endowment of $4,000, to be
known as the William Howard Taft
Fund, the income from which is to
be devoted annually To prizes for first
aid work and competitions among the
railroad men of the country. Four
prizes with medals are awarded an
nually. The only applicant for prize
money from the fund for work done
during 1911 was Mr.. Christian d.
Fisher, of 1871 Park Boulevard, Cam
den, n. j., an employe of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Shops Mr.. Fisher
was awarded the first prize Of $50,
having treated total of sixteen cases
during the year.
The Red Cross from its own funds,
also gives similar prizes to first-aid
men other than those employed by
railroads. The winner of the first
prize of $50 in this class is Mr.. John
Brown, mine foreman, Pennsylvania
Coal Co., Pittson, Pa, who rendered
very excellent service to three men
who we're burned and otherwise bad
ly injured by an explosion of gas in
the Hoyt Shaft on January 10, 1911.
In an affidavit made by the resident
physician at Pittston hospital relative
to the manner in which the injuries
of these men were treated, 1t is stated:

for any physician under the most ia

ONE KIND OF SCOTCH HUMoR.

This example of Scotch humor is
from an American of Scottish ances-

ure that 1t seems desirable to pass it
along.
He was in the Saskatchewan coun-
try and was dining at small hotel
where he had two Scots fresh from
the old country for his table COM
panions. A waitress had brought one
of these men a cup of tea and he had
pointed out that 1t was green tea and
that he wanted the black. The watt
ress went for cup of the latter and
as she placed 1t before him she asked
him If it was black enough. 1t was

The finest thing about the candi-
dacy of Governor Wilson is that he
has clean backing. 1t is evident he
has little money for campaign pur-

have at hand comes from small sour

the largest yet received at headquar-

big business so that he may be per-

elected should appeal strongly to men
and women of common sense and pa

i'm the Boys Corn club contests, the
first year they have ever been held in
Butts county The highest yield on an
acre of upland was made by Thomas
Hale. the eleven-year-old son of j. f..
Hale, with 1926 bushels. The second
best yield was 1917 bushels.
Lewis Moore. who made 144.6S BUSH
els on an acre. did not enter the con-
test because of an irregularity Charles
Pittman who wowuld have come
second with a yield of over ninety
bushe was not a contestant for the
same reason. Fifteen boys had an av-
erage yield Of SAILS bushels per acre,
which is considered a good showing for
Butts county.
District Agent J. X. Giles, Of ATTAIN
Ia, who is employed by the Atlanta
chamber of commerce. was present and
made an address to the boys. Already
plans are under way for the 1913 con-
tests and it is thought several hundred
boys will compete.

Varying amounts of oat and vetch
seed should be sown, according to the
nature of the land and the type of i'm
plement used for seeding. When oats
are planted in the open furrow use at
least two bushels per acre. Mix with
the oat seed 20 to 80 pounds of hairy
vetch. If you desire to SOW vetch by
itself at least four or five pecks of
seed should be used. We have found
the combination of oats and vetch in
the proportions mentioned very salts
factory here at Athens, and we believe
you will find this a good proportion
to use in your locality. 1t is desirable
to conserve the use of the vetch seed
as much as possible because they are
very costly. Where broadcasting is
practicedd, a larger quantity of seed
should be used. We would not advise
in your section under any
circumstances, and we think you will
find the open furrow method of seed
ing the best OF follow. The sooner you
can seed these crops now the better.
would suggest that you use 900
pounds of a 1928 fertilizer under these
crops at the time of planting. and you
might find it advisable to use light
top dressing of nitrate of soda if the
oats do not seem to be thrifty in the
early spring. Fifty to seventy-five
pounds should be enough to use on a
combination crop of oats and vetch.

In some parts Of your section of the

true on the land comprising your
campus you can probably grow blue
grass with success in view Of the fact
that you have an abundance of shade.
Naturally, Bermuda grass will not do
well in the shade, and, therefore. it will
only make a patchy lawn at best. Blue
grass, of course, is very fond of lime
