KENTUCKY CROP REPORT
AS OF AUGUST 4, 1913.

While scattering showers brought
some relief in sections, much of the
State is In need of rain for growing
crops. In certain localities rains
have been plentiful, but the largest
area of the State is in need of mois-
ture according to crop reports COM
ing to this Department as of August
first.
The yield of wheat is not coming
quite up to expectations, but the es-
innate on this as State average is
given at IL bushels as compared
with IL bushels per acre last year.
This would make total production
for the State of wheat at something
like 11,196,OOO bushels. In many
places only about one-third of the
threshing is done, while in others 1t
is nearly finished. The wheat In
shock is damaging.
Early corn in the western part of
the State is damaged by drouth. As
II otdte average tho Sohui'ioh VI wa"
is given at 93 per cent and the state
of cultivation is fairly good and with
ample rainfall during August late
crops will make a much better yield
than the outlook now.
The preliminary estimated yield Of
rye is given at 12h bushels per
acre, which would make a total pro-
duction for the State of 412,5OO
bushels, while oats are given at 22h
bushels per acre, which would yield
a total production of 6,e75,OOO BUSH

WARFARE IN ANCIENT DAYS.

The first standing army was form
ed by Saul, 1898 B. C.
The sword came from ancient
Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor, India
and drought the western world. 1t
was in Egypt that the three shapes
of the sword blade originated, these
being the straight, the curved and the
half curved The Roman sword was
larger than that of the Greeks, and
in the days OF the empire MANY of the
Chinese made swords OF iron as
sheaths were so covered with precious
treasures. Among the Moslems the
higest title given to a warrior of re-
nown Is 1.-THE sword of Allah" The
early as 1879 b. c.
Bullets of stone were used in 1914,
while bombs came into general use
In 1894. Bomb vessels had their
origin in France in 1881. Fire ships
first appeared in the early part of
the sixteenth century.
The use of cannon dates back to
the year 1888. Artillery construct
ed of brass first appeared in 1885.
Among the curiosities of artillery
odd inventions have agreat place.
Cannon have been made of the most
unlikely materials. Leather was
used as early as HenryVII.'s day at
the siege of Boulogne. The Scotch
used leather guns in 1910 to batter
Lord Conway's Notifications at New
bourne. Artillery was first used
in war by the Moors at Algeciras,
first used by the English, by direct
ion of the Governor of Calais, in 1883
Iron bullets were first mentioned
in the Foedera in 1850. Muskets
were first used in 1414, during the
siege of Arras, while chain shot was
a device of Dutch admiral, De Witt.
i'm 1866.
The bayonet was invented in Bay
onne, France, in 1870.
Pistols were first employed by the
British cavalry in 1914. The revolv-
ing chambered breech of the pistol
was patented by Colt in 1885.
Muskets supplanted the bow and
arrow among the British soldiery
in 1921. Spain was the first nation
to equip foot soldiers with muskets..
shortly before the end of the six
teenth century.
The mimic rife was invented about
1888 by M. MIME, of Vincennes.
The battering ram had its benning
with Artemones, AL b. c., while the
first army arranged in regular lineo
of battle was that of Palamedes of

written by Lieut.. Ranke, who, as
"officer-war correspondent" writes
for German papers stories of individ-
ual deeds of bravery by Germans
whose names, addresses and occupa-
lions are given as tending to encour-
age local patriotism.
In letter to the Dusseldorf Mach
richten he tells of skirmish between
a patrol of men from that city with
an American patrol, who by their
"impudent audacity" had been giving
the Germans much trouble. Both par
ties were hidden in shell craters, he
says, and stalked each other for nine
teen hours, with the result, according
to the story, that three wounded Am

For their work their captors received
