New Turnpike On EstIll.

In granting the l.. & N. GER.
tain concessions in making
changes in lis right of way in
the vicinity of the new yards
where the $ county road was
changed, the company agreed
to construct a turnpike from the
depot to some distance beyond
Cow Creek. The new highway
is now being made, the grading
having been almost completed,
along the south side of the rail-
road. Mr.. Leete has the contract
to put in the metal culverts,

The Ohio Valley Tie Company

1t wilt be remembered that this
company was awarded judgment
against the L. a N. q few months
sssfsr wiifnIly Discriminating a.
gainst the tie company in the
matter of rates. II was then al
legged by the tie company that it
was the intention of the road to
raise the rates so they could not
ship out their timber, and in do
ing this the l.. & N. had ruined
their business. While on the
witness stand the chief witness
said it was the policy of the L. q
N. to endeavor to conserve the
timber supply along it's lines that
ties might always be gotten for
its own uses at reasonable figures.
1t has now eliminated a cOmpeti

1t is unlawful for a railroad to
own land or conduct any kind of

The condition OF crops ~ Of
October IN has ippppved some-
what during the mooth. The bcn.
dition Of co, . il given as TOT per
cent. Much OF this corn 10 now
going into saock and the report
of November 1sf Nill show q e.
nal estima, e,af the crop. Since
90 much af thetdbS cco hss been
housed, the efforts this month
were to find out the condition Of
the crop as far as housing was
Concerned. II per cent of the
Dark Tobacco is already in the
house and is curing fairly well as
indicated by . condition of SO
per cent. ~ per cent Of the Bur-
lev Tobacco is 10 the house, and
the condition is indicated as 81
per cent. The general impress
ion gathered from crop CORE
spOndents is that the crop of to-
bacco will not be either . large
One-65 per cent of a crop,-nor
will j., be one Of extra quality.
The crop of wheat has not been
put in the ground as early as u
sual, only So per cent having
been sown October LIST. Indica-
tions are not for q large acreage
of wheat for next year. Dry
weather has interfered very ma
terially with the sowing. The
greater per cent. of the rye crop
has been sown as is to be expect
ed, but most of this will be pillow.
ed under in the spring after hav-
ing been used for a cover crop.
The condition Of the garden is
still poor and no improved con-
ditions can be expected this year
over the condition as shown,
which is 4S per cent. Pastures
are still in poor shape, the gen.
eral rains not being sufficient to
materially alter the condition.
Bluegrass pastures are given as
20 per cent. Orchard grass is Civ
en- at u per cent, clover at SO
per cent and alfalfa at 76 per
cent. The percentage of winter
apples is small, being given at
80 per cent.
The turkey crop is below the
average, reports showing only
SO per cent. The percentage of
ducks is 50 per cent, percentage
of chickens, 80 per cent.
In this report the Department
has undertaken to find out the
percentage of cattle as compared
with the usual year that are GO
ing into feed lots this season. The
dry pastures, scarcity of water
and scarcity of feed would neces-
sarily cut down the number of
stock kept for the winter. Indi.
cations are that there are only ~
per cent of cattle on feed. Hogs
on feed also show 4 marked de-
cline from an average year as in
Dictated by II per cent.
There is practically a unani.
nous complaint from all sections
of the State as TO the scarcity of
water, shortness Of grass and lack
Of feed.
Farmers are urged to sow COW
er crops, particularly rye, barley
and hairy vetch, for winter pas.
ture in order to save feed bills.
Those farmers who have silos
have been exceeding fortunate
in being able to save much fodder
where the ears OF corn failed to
materialize. It is hard to find q
ray of sunshine in such a bad
crop year as this season has
proven to be. However, If our
farmers take advantage Of the
lesson that this has taught, il
may prove to be a blessing in dis
guise. If this drouth only teach.
es the farmer the value of silo
and the value of cover crops for
winter, Kentucky may yet be
richer as a result Of the drouth.
