the best and most beautiful in Ken

The September report of crop esti-
mates Is that the farmers in Kentucky
have on hand per cent more hogs for
fattening than tfey had Sept. 1. 1917
Kentucky's crop prospects are bet-
ter since Che general rains but there
will still be great reduction IN the
corn, potato, tobacco and hemp crops
compared to those Of 1917. The corn
crop now promises about rs per cent
less than in 1917; tobacco about 20 pei
cent less; and potatoes about 80 pei
cent less. Considerably more oats
were produced in Kentucky this year
than in 1917; and very fine hay crop,
larger than in 1917 Altho the potato
crop is much smaller than 10 1917 il
should be remembered that the 1911
crop was very large.

DR.. Of Philosophy and Occult
Science VIII Develop Rich
Oil Fields Here.

Prof Frank d Hines, President OF
the Southern Oil and Refining Co. ar
rived in town last week from Denver,
Colo. DR.. Hines is native of Colora-
do, and aside from his great achieve
ments as scientist metaphysiciaD,
editor and statesman he devotes him
self TO oil developments on large
scale. Says the Doctor: ''There is pIen-
ty of oil in Adair county and all we
need To do is to bore little deeper. y
Until now facilities of heavy machine
ny have not been available to bore to
the depths where oil will be found in
large and paying quantities The com.
pany of which DIR. Hines is President
is composed largely of Denver capital
lists who mean business about the
development of this rich field.
A thorough survey of this field was
made last year by expert Engineer
and Geogolist, Joseph Kreis His re
port on the field made to The West
cru Oil Syndicate and Southern Oil &
Refining Co., both OF which Mr..
Hines is President, is thoroughly in
keeping with the surveys of other
biologists, showing from natural in-
dications that the field is fertile one
In OIL
DR. Hines verifies his original idea,
having taken Log, or tapped off the
Hadley we'll No. 1, and found between
100 and 200 feet of fine grade amber oil
in this we'll. The well lacks 20 TO 81
feet of right depth. According to hi:
idea, well No 2 has oil and gas DEPTH
of No. is 1888 feet and No. 27O0 feet
The latter, he believes is Is to so fee
short of OIL The wells will be sunl
deeper. A new well has been order
ed sunk on leases in Sparksville Dis

DR.. Hines insists after an 10
spection of the properties of his com
paDy that when the sands lying dowr
