KENTUCKY CROP SUMMARY

Except for unseasonably low tenn
perature prevailing during most of the
week, the weather during the past
week was favorable; but the soil con
tinued wet, hence form work and
crops progressed very slowly. Freez
ing temperatures were quite general
ON several mornings. Much better
temperature conditions, however, pre-
vailed at the close of the week, when
the top soil was drying out and con
siderable blowing was accomplished
The wheat crop is generally reported
as poor, and rye fair, but both crops
are improving. Pastures are good
Tobacco is very late, while practically
no corn has been planted. Garden
truck planting is progressing slowly
Early peaches are damaged; but the
late varieties and other fruit give fair
promise.

THE FARMERS SPECIAL PART.

Assistant Secretary Of Agriculture
Carl Vrooman has appealed to the
farmers of the country to produce a
great crop of foodstuffs this year
The appeal should be answered. 1t
looks now as if a shortage of wheat.
for this country and for the world, is
unavoidable. This shortage must be
made up by large production of other
crops. There must be no bread fam
ines and no riots over high priced po-
tatoes next winter.
Of course, no farmer is justified in
disarranging his plan of farm work or
forgetting the permanent welfare of
his soil in order to plunge for a rec
ord-breaking production of any one
crop. Such a policy is not called for
What is needed is a general moving
up of production marks all along the
line. No fear as to lack of a market
for any staple food product need be
felt. The world is hungry and de-
maDds to be fed. 1t will pay to feed
it. More than this, the welfare and
safety of the nation demand that an
abundant supply of foodstuffs for this
nation and for the nations across the
sea who are helping fight the battle
for human rights be produced on
American farms this year.
American farmers will not fail to
meet the demands these troublous
times have laid upon them.

The Town Beautiful Movement.

rhe prevailing mode of town de,
Neicpment for the past twenty-five
years in progressive towns has been
to lay out streets in checkerboar1
form at right angles. Some theor-
lists of civic progress have advanced
the idea OF late that a layout of curv-
ing streets is more beautiful. They
point to German cities that followed
this plan to a large extent before the
war. The right angled plan they con.
denim as too stiff, formal and geome-
trical.
In towns having hills or bluffs, curv-
ing streets are frequently needful to
conform to the lay of the land. But
there are practical objections to them
on level ground. They usually make
more steps for man and beast, though
il is true that in some instances they
do cut corners. They lead to irregu
lar shaped lots, and promote a more
scattered development of the town,
necssitating larger expense for street
and sidewalk and sewer development.
The laying out of streets is mat
ter to be strictly controlled by MUM.
cipal authorities. In the more progress
sive towns it is usually so regulated.
In some of the older and less advanc-
ed places. there is a disposition to
allow real estate men to run streets
in any criss-cross way that will pro-
duce the most house lots. Straight
streets connecting with each other di-
rectly across a town have a beauty
of their OWN If we'll planted with
trees, long and pleasing vistas are
created. making a harmonious whole,
and giving an impression of space and
6ifnified arrangement
A great number of cities have OF
late taken up the idea of town plant
ing boards. Few men would think OF
constructing a house without plan.
IL il is o house of much value, they
call in a first-class architect. But un-
til within a few years, most towns
were content to grow without any pub
liciy adopted plan for development.
The result is frequently crazed patch
work streets, the lack Of suitable park
land, the failure to secure lots needed
in the future for schools and other
public buildings. for which high prices
will have to be paid later.

tender of the engine on passenger
train No /, southbound limited, of the
Illinois Central railroad just as the
negro fireman was about to toss the
can into the firebox of the locomotive
while the train was standing on the

The negro fireman was shovelin2
coal into the engine when he discov
cred the can of powder, which was
blackened and battered so that in the
dim light in the tender it resembled a
lump OF coal. The fireman had the
can on his shovel and turned to toss
it into the firebox when he noticed its
peculiar shape and paused to examine
the contents of his shovel
The fireman called other trainmen
and investigation revealed the can con-
tanned powder. 1t was turned over
to the authorities here and an investi'
cation was begun by the railroad

Hard Fighting on italian Front Resul,

Rome.-After a hard all-day battle
on the Italian mountain front the
enemy reached Col Caprille, the war
office announces. The Italian troops
held firmly on the position little
to the rear of Col Caprille.
The official statement praises the
bearing of the Italian troops during
the bitter struggle of the last few
days between the Brenta and the
Piave, which is characterized as be
ing worthy of the greatness of the
hour"
Heavy fighting is in progress on
the mountain front in the north, east
Of the Brenta river. The enemy is
attempting to advance his positions
as he has those west of the river
which would give him two lines ci
approach to the Brenta Valley and
the open plain.
The chief Austro-German effort is
centering about Monte Beretta. There
the enemy succeeded in advancing
only short distance in the repeated
attacks, in which he suffered large
losses.

Halifax-With complete disregard
for their own lives, in an effort to save
this desolated city from another catas-
trophe, coup of Dartmouth citizens
boarded a steamship, said to have
been laden with munitions, which was
afire, and was being abandoned has
tily by her crew.
The vessel carried .deckload Of oil,
and as she came in close to the shore
with smoke pouring from her super
structure, the sight of her fleeing
crew stirred the watchers ashore to
prompt action. A volunteer freight
ing force was quickly organized and
the burning ship was boarded. After
hard work the flames were extin-
guished. The crew remained ashore,
preferring the scant relief shelter
provided In Dartmouth.
Since the explosion OF the Mont

Before the conference, co-ordina-

New York.-Every report from the

the French front indicates the Amer.
lean troops are In excellent spirits
w. Frank Pearsons. director general
OF civilian relief of the American Red
Cross, said in an address before the
American Academy of Political
Science, meeting here.
Whether the soldiers will maintain
this morale through trench life and
battle to the end will be determined,
ne said, largely by the home service
of the Red Cross. Men may be the
best soldiers in the world" he de-
clared, "but If things are not well
with their families at home they
worry and lose efficiency, and the
morale, that all-important factor, be-
gins to fall"
The greatest opportunity of the Red
Cross home service, says Mr.. Parsons,
Is the conservation of human re-
eources-the maintenance OF good
standards of health, education, indus
try and family solidarity among the
large minority of soldiers families
which is not able to provide these
standards for itself.
L. S. Rowe, assistant secretary OF
the treasury, discussing the military
and naval insurance act, said 1t
should not be considered as provid-
ing for a gratuity awarded by the gov
eminent to it's officers and enlisted
men. 1t incorporates the principles
OF the workmen's compensation law
of many states, provides insurance on
easy terms at a time when CONNER
cial life insurance rates would be pro.
hibitive for fighting men, and by It's
allotments to dependents of men in
service maintains the home while the
