KENTUCKY CROP REPORT.
October The 10Th, 1914.

The crop report as of October lst is
a difficult one to summarize. Corn is
partly on the ground and partly in the
shock. Tobacco is partly on the ground
and partly in the house. The wheat
crop is being Sown, but is unfinished.
The facts aScertained by the Depart
ment show the condition of corn to
be "A per cent, which means practi-
cally three-fourths of corn crop. The
crop will net be as large as indicated
on September lSt on account of it
dropping off 9 points. A great many
complaints in regard to corn not fill
ing out well on the ear have been re-
ceIved. This refers to early planted
corn, the later planted corn not hav-
ing matured in many instances.
The condition of Burley tobacco is
81 per cent. as compared with 50 per
cent. on September lst, 1914, with II
per cent. of this crop already housed.
The condition of Dark tobacco is IS
per cent. as compared to y per cent.
on September lst, 1914, with 81 pei
cent. Of the crop housed. The acreage
of tobacco Is only about 10 per cent. of
an average crop, hence there will be
no large crop Of tobacco this year.
However, the crop will be fully one
third more than was indicated on
August LIST, during the drOuth period.
! There is good fruit crop, and win.
ter apples and pears should be abund
ant. Garden conditions have greatly
improved, showing a condition CT Il
per cent. Live stock is in good con
dition, showing percentage as fol
lows: Horses, 90 per cent; cattle, 9;
per cent: hogs, 81 per cent and Sheef
"a per cent. These is some cholera
among hogs, but nothing like as much
this season as last year. Poultry of al
kinds has done well. The turkey croI
will be an average one. Fall pasture:
are in good condition. blue gras:
shows condition of 50 per cent clover
rs per cent: alfalfa, 50 per cent, anC
! orchard grass, IS per cent. The
acreage of cow peas, soy beans and al
falfa has been materially increased
this season.
The indications are for the sowing
of large wheat crop, Al 10 per cent
having been sown by October lst AL
indications are that the Kentucky
farmer has from % per cent to 80 pei
cent greater crops than he could well
hope for at any time during the grow.
| ing season.
Now is the time for the farmer to
put in some cover crops, if he has not
already done so, and thereby retain
the fertility of his fields for next years
crops. Winter rains on bare ground
are sometimes as severe "a strain on
the land as fairly good crop of corn
or wheat Rye, barley or winter vetch
will prevent this washing and retain
the fertility for the future use of the
farmer. No bare spots should be per-
mitted to go through the winter
