KENTUCKY CROP REPORT
As OF SEPT. 4, 1918

The crop season for 1918 is rapid
ly drawing to close. It is too ear
ly to give final estimates on actual
yields and only a summary of con-
ditiOns is given this month. The
largest money crops of the State,
corn and tobacco, are damaged by
the drOuth, and this extreme droush
has prevailed over practically tae
entire State. 1t was broken the lat
ter part of August, since which time
conditions are greatly improved and
the final estimate On yields on late
crops may tell a different tale, Ehan
the low estimates given herein would
indicate.
The general condition of earn is
reported at 76 per cent. as a State
average. The first estimate on the
yield of corn is given at 81 bushels
per acre as compared with 80 BUSH
els, State average last year. The
condition Of hurley tobacco is given
at II per cent and dark tobacco at
rs. Much of the early tobacco is
cut, owing to the extremely hot
weather, but the rains are bringing
out late tobacco TO advantage Hemp
acreage is small and condition Is Civ
en- at 70 per cent. Condition OF
COW peas and soy beans is given in
both instances at 81 per cent. Rains
have brought these crops out. Gar
dens are given at SIS per cent, Irish
potatoes at 6S per cent, and sweet
potatoes at 70 per cent. Pastures
have been greatly in need of rains
and the conditions show at 65 per
cent, but are considerably revived
since the drouth has been broken.
Alfalfa condition is given at so per
cent, and while the third cutting was
abandoned in some localities, the
State average is given at l,3 tons per

ENLIST AND 90 TO COLLEGE.

The following statements outline
the general plan under which the
Students Army Training Corps will
operate under the changed conditions
produced by the revision of the Sc
lective Service Law:
1. All young men, who were
planning to go to school this fall,
should carry out their plans and do
so. Each should go to the college of
his choice, matriculate, and enter as
a regular student. He will, of course,
also register with his local board on
the registration day set by the Presi-
dent. AS soon as possible after the
registration day, probably on or about
October the first, opportunity will be
given for all the regularly enrolled
students TO be indicted into the Stu
dents Army Training Corps at the
schools where they are in attendance.
Thus the corps will be organized by
voluntary induction under the Sc
lective Service Act, instead of enlist
ment as previously contemplated.
The student, by voluntary in
dnction, becomes soldier in the

T7se heavy hand of the censor has
been quick to fall upon editors in va

their mind too freely on this sub

has been nearly suppressed for max

Another publication was prosecut-
ed for calling Hindenburg Marshal

The majority of German newspa-
pers manage to keep within the lin
its of respectful comment. though not
few ventured the suggestion that
Hindenburg in his public remarks
displayed a woeful lack of informa-
ton as to the real military position.
Here in Holland opinion is as usu-

MEXICO'S SENTIMENT
UNDERGOING CHANGE

Laredo, Tex, Sept "A promi-
nent American business man of Mex
leo city, who is spending a few days
in this city on business. i'm an inter
view given the International News
Service correspondent. stated that a
great change had come over the peo-
pie of Mexico within the last few
weeks and that now sentiment in
favor of the United States and the
allies in the world war can be heard
expressed on every hand. Formerly,
as result of extensive German prop
uganda, much sentiment was heard in
favor of Germany. but now conditions
are fast being reversed
The most potent factor in bringing
about this reversal of sentiment,
stated the American. are the Mexican
newspapermen who recently made an
extensive tour of the United States
and were shown thru all the indus
trial plants of this country. were
taken to the army and naval stations
and saw what was being done. visited
the various big cities and points of
interest OF the country. and were ac-
corded many hospitalities by the
Americans, including an audience with |
President Wilson at the White House.
These editors have returned to Mex |
leo. and since that time. thru the
medium of their newspapers and |
Magazines. are enlighcening the Mex
lean people on the actual conditions
prevailing in the United States and
the advisability of the Mexican people
lligning themselves with this country
and meriting their goodwill and
assistance. The Mexican government
approves the propaganda
IF the Mexican editors in favor a the
uited States. for so far no protest
has been made against any of TIE
articles which have appeared.

GERMANY WATCHING
americans PREPARE
Misled Huns Now Hoping
4th Liberty Loan
Will Fail

Dispatches from Germany coming
by way of London report that the
German government is preparing to
launch a war loan at about the same
time the American Fourth Liberty
Loan will open September 2S. There
is much uneasiness in Germany over
the financial situation of the Central
Powers and tremendous efforts will
be made to make the German loan a
success in order to improve condi-
lions there.
Neutral observers say that the Ger
man government is anxiously watch
ing the preparations for the Fourth
Loan and that Hun officials are pre-
dieting its failure. Reports from this
country of hot winds and drought
have led the Huns to believe that the
very heart of America, the great
Middle West, is discouraged over the
crop conditions. Berlin believes that
the Southwest is in the same con-
dition.
However, Germany has often been
misled by the reports received from
this country. Berlin, the Kaiser and
the whole imperial group are about
to suffer another sickening disap-
pointment. When the news that
America has again Over-subscribed
the Fourth Loan reaches Berlin the
military autocrats will have to think
out some other excuse to offer.
That American money will not
back up American men is the hope
to which the Huns are clinging. All
reports agree that American fighting
men have shaken German confidence. /
When the American Marines broke !
up the Huns rush against Paris at !
Chauteau-Thierry there was conster-
nation in the German High Com
mand. The famous Prussian Guard |
regiments were sent to clean out the
Americans but were stopped, smashed
and driven back in such state of
Generalization that they had to be re-
moved from the line.
No longer able to claim that
Americans cannot reach France or
that they are poor fighters the Ger
man is falling back on the claim that
America cannot raise the money to
support the great armies that have
crossed the Atlantic, and that are ,
being raised and trained in this
cauntry. The Germans have always
liked TO think that Yankees" are
dollar crazy, that the "Amerikaner"
is a dollar worshipper and that he |
thinks more of dollars than he does /
of American national honor. The |
Potsdam Gang is now using this old f
claim in order to create confidence t
and bolster up its dying hopes. S
Washington officials point out that I
the Germans fully believed this l
would not enter the war, that {
the German vote" in this country
would paralyze America, that the
United States was afraid of the Ger
man strength and that U-boats could
sink our ships, drown our women and
children and spies could blow up
plants and factories indef- c
nitely. Events show that the Ger G
mans were mistaken.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is certain L
o smash down their latest claims =,
hat Americans will not back their Z
lrmies and their government with p
heir money. [
