'Much interest is shown in poultry
in many localities and a consequent
increase in the numbers on hand as
compared with last year, while in
other localities this has fallen off.
Conditions of poultry is placed at "a
per cent.
Melons and fruits of all kinds are
especially short this year, condition
of same being as follows; Apples "a
per cent. grapes 62 per cent, melons
65 per cent.
with the scarcity of stock water
relieved by the recent rains and the
condition of all late crops benefited
materially, the prospect is not so
gloomy for the result of the farmers
years work as it was a week ago.
Great interest is being manifested in
the increased acreage of wheat and
the Kentucky farmer is ready to meet
the emergency in this crisis for pro-
duction as far as it is possible for
him to do so.

Crop Outlook Is Brighter.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 6.-As a re-
suit of belated general rains, which
have brought out the late corn and
tobacco and relieved the shortage of
stock water, the crop outlook Septem-
ber / was not as gloomy as in the
middle of the summer, Commissioner
of Agriculture Mat. S. Cohen said in
his monthly crop report made public
to-day.
Early corn and tobacco has been
seriously hurt and the estimate of the
corn crop Is twenty-one bushels to the
acre. compared to thirty bushels last
year. The report follows:
THE crop season for 1918 is rapid
ly drawing to close. II is too early
to give final estimates on the actual
yields and only summary of condi-
tions is given this month. The largest
money crops of the State, corn and
tobacco, are damaged by the drouth,
and this extreme drouth has pre-
vailed over practically the entire
State. II was broken the latter part
of August, since which time condi-
tions are greatly improved, and the
final estimates on yields on late crops
may tell a different tale than the low
estimates given herein would indi-
cate.

WOUNDED KENTUCKY BOY
RETURNS FROM FRANCE

Evansville, Ind, Sept. 6.-Roy
Rome, of Logansport, Butler county
Kentucky, passed through here to-
day enroute home from France,
where he was wounded in action, his
right hip being shattered by a Hun
bullet. He was taken to base Hos
pital where he underwent an opera
tion. A piece of bone from a horse S
hip was grated onto his hip and the
operation is said to be successful. He
stin walks with limp, but the wound
practically has healed. Rome was not
dismissed from service, and expects
to return to his company In a few
weeks. He was one OF the first volun-
teers from Butler county after the
United States entered the world war,
and has been in France for year or
more.
