The general condition OF crops
in Kentucky as of September LIST
is anything but encouraging. On
August 1st an estimate was made
by the various crop reporters in
the State with the hope that rain
would fall. Scattered rain did fall
during the latter part of August.
but they we're either not sufficient
or not soon enough to make the
first of September estimate of the
crops even as high as the estimate
of August LIST.
Corn has dropped to condition
of 5S.4 per cent. which means but
little more than half crop. Bur-
ley tobacco still remains at 65 per
cent, but dark tobacco has dropped
to condition of 81 per cent. AL
falfa is 20 per cent, COW peas "a
per cent and soy beans ~ per cent
of an average crop. The spring
sown clover shows an average con-
dition of SO per cent. The legu-
minous crops have held their own
better than any other crop during
this drouth. Bluegrass is given at
60 per cent, orchard grass at 50
per cent and pastures as a whole
are very inferior.
Live stock has suffered very ma
terially on account of short past
ures and scarcity of water. The
condition of horses is given at 80
per cent, cattle SO per cent, hogs
So per cent and sheep 92 per cent.
The condition of poultry has like
wise declined. Chickens are given
as go per cent, turkeys 80 per cent
and ducks IS percen
All kinds of fruits have deterio-
rated. Apples are small, many
dropping from the trees, and their
condition is shown as 81 per cent,
peaches IA per cent, plums So per
cent and pears SO per cent. Gar
den conditions are deplorable, drop
ping to A per cent.
Abundant rain falls would not
help anything as far as this years
crop is concerned. The corn crop
would grow worse instead of better
should abundant rains fall now;
the same is true of tobacco. The
danger in the curing period for
corn and for tobacco is in having
an excessive amount OF moisture.
Rains now would only have ten
dency to spoil what is left of these
two crops. Moisture is needed
very badly for fall seeding, and
would benefit next years crop in
this respect. Good rains would
improve fall pastures. Water for
stock is serious problem in many
localities and many fires are re
ported as a result of the dry
weather. A match dropped in
pastures in the condition in which
they are at present is almost like
dropping a spark in a powder
magazine. The water supply in
many towns in the State has given
out, and fire losses as a result of
the drouth are bound to be great.
One hundred and fifteen estj-
mates of the cost of growing an
acre of corn show an average esti-
mate of $13.95. Last months es-
innate of the cost of growing an
acre of wheat was S10.16. 1t is
interesting to note that the general
opinion is that it costs 1919 more
to grow an acre of corn thnn an
acre of wheat. Last years corn
production in Kentucky was 30.4
bushels per acre. The present re-
port would indicate yield of about
Is bushels per acre for this year.
Corn would have to bring about II
cents per bushel on the average,
based on this estimate of $13.95,
to pay the actual cost of production.

POLICE ARE
YET TO BE
APPOINTED
Commission Last Night Made
All Appointments Ex-
Cept Police

The city commission met Monday
night, and outside Of number or
appointments, and the allowing OF
some bills there was little doing. In
terest for the session centered III the
possible appointment of chief OF
police This was not reached till the
end of the list, and when Police Com
missioner Patterson was asked II ne
had any nomination to make he mere
" as....ad for little more time for
the matter, saying that he might pos
sibly recommend some changes and
he might not-so there you are. While
Mr.. Patterson did not state how much
time he wished, it is thought the ap-
pointments will be Forthcoming at the
next meeting.
Commissioner of Streets Hinckley
asked that some provisions be made
prohibiting the digging in or other
wise tearing up of streets without
permission. While it was agreed that
there should be some action of this
kind, no action was taken, and action
was deferred till the next meeting.
lnasmuch as the Rumely company
had secured block OF n. =. right OF
way along the south side of the track
between Fifth and Sixth streets, a
request was presented the city COM
mission for permission to extend
sidetrack across Seventh street into
said block. in order that the Rumcly
company might unload its machinery.
The matter was discussed quite ia
vorably by the commission and it was
advised that an ordinance for said
extension be prepared and presented
at the next meeting.
Commissioners Patterson and Bat
ty were nominated for vice president
Mr.. Patterson was entitled to the pO-
sition by right of seniority, but said
he didn't want it and refused to al
low his name to be voted on. Some
one interjected: Don't you want
/" whereuDon, Patterson very fore
IDLY said "NO--if did ] would be out
after it." The bluntness Of his re-
mark and the fact that he had stated
Il naked truth, struck all present as
comical, and a ripple went round the
room. Mr. Battey was then elected
unanimously, with the exception of
his own vote.
The folluwbng appointments were
then made ! gsf

FEW HEARD
DEBATE IN
THE HOUSE
General Discussion on the
Tariff Measure Ended in
0utburSt Of OratOry

WASHINGTON, April 2S-The gen
cral debate on the democratic tariff
bill in the house wound up tonight in
final outburst of ora:ory. The dem
ocrats spent the day lauding the meas
ure, while alternately the republicans
and progressiyes attacked it,
The house, after nearly a week of
tariff oratory did not produce num-
erous attendance and most of the
speeches of the day were made to
empty benches. However, Represent
atyc Payne Of New York, had good
sized audience on hand to listen to his
demonstration of the bill He painted
a vivid word pcture of ruined industry
aud impoverished labor which he pre-
sented as an Inevitable result of the
Underwood bill. He criticized the
ways and means committee for put
ting wool on the free list while leav-
ing on the duitable list the hair Of an
aora goats.
Murdoch, the progressive leader,
Criticizer the tariff policy Of 10th the
democrats and republicans. He said
the Underwood bill was an "unrelia-
ble chaotic jum5le of Inconsistencies"
and urged that the tariff be placed in
the hands Of non-partisan tariff CON-
mission.
The debate finally closed at the
night session with a lively defense OF
the Underwood bill by Representa-
tive Hardwick of Georgia. and a short
statement by UnderwoodsFF

ACCIDENT ] j {.
Anderson and Attorney De-
clare Funk WAS Killed
by Stray Bullet

That Frank T.. Funk of Washburn
was killd By stray bullet and not
by the hand of an assassin, will be the
plea of the defense in the trial of
w. r. Anderson OH charge OF muir
der This fact was announced by
Tracy Bangs, at Grand Forks, attor-
ney for the defendant.
Lack of motive on the part of An
dcrson for killing Funk will be one
Of the strong points in the defense.
Officials Of the bank have made state
mcnts to the effect that their relations
in business and social way were
pleasant.
The bullet that killed Funk was fir
ed in broad daylight, it being about Z
o'clock in the evening. The theory
that anyone had lain in wait for Funk
is challenged on that point.
The charge that the bullet was fired
from the home of w. T Anderson,
through window about S5 or 40 feet
from the place where Funk was stanC
ing, Is contended to be absurd because
Anderson would have had to stand in
position where Funk could could
easily have seen him as he emerged
from his kitchen door to pick up his
little girl who had stumbled and
fallen to the ground 1t was while he
was STOPPING down that Funk receiv-
ed the fatal wound.

bic to citizenship" from owning land
in California remained until changed.
Against Wish Of Administration.
California;, in the fullncss OF her
right as state, may enact a rigid
land law barring crientals from own
ership, but such i"tion will be against
the earnest wish Of the national adj
ministration. This is the substance
Of the message William Jennings

representative Of resident Wilson, de.

Had immediate Hearing.
Lryan arrived here at 500 this
morning. Plans were made for an
immediate hearing, and shortly after
11:CO the first session Of the confer
ence began. Advice in the presidents S
name was all Bryan offered, and the
:r rln{1 y,
advice will overcome the previously
announced determination of the pro-
gressive republican majority to enact
an anti-alien land law along lines al
ready agreed upon.
Offers Alternatives.
Bryan reaftirmed the states right
to act in any manner it saw fit, but
suggested several alternatives to the
passage of the bill restricting aliens
ineligible to citizenship basing his
reasons on the broal foundation of
public policy. Briefly, alternatives in
order were suggested as follows: l.,
delay immediate action and allow the
state department to try to accomp.
lish the ends desired by means of a
new treaty with Japan; 2, delay ac-
ton, appoin: a commission to investi-
gate the subject of alien land owner
ship, and act in conjunction with the
president in securing relief; 8, enact
a law similar to the statute in Illinois,
which permits an alien to hold land
for a period not exceeding six years
and applies alike to all aliens; 4, en-.
act laws similar to the federal statute
governing land ownership in the dis
trict OF Columbia which is general
law applying to all aliens. Of these,
according to laeders in the legislature.
the last two are out Of the question.
