NAY RAINS HELD
BACK CROPS over
STATE, REPORT SAYS
State Crop Report AZ Of June I Issued
by Commissioner Of Agriculture
Cohen Shows Conditions
OF All Crops.

State Commissioner Of Agriculture
Cohen has issued the following crop
report as Of June LIST:
The prolonged and excessive wet
weather throughout May has retarded
farm work generally. With twenty
two days Of rain in May preparation
of the soil for the planting of crops
has been next to impossible. Wheat
has been somewhat damaged and not
as high a yield Is expected as the
early conditions warranted However
the condition as State average is "a
per cent, which is per cent less than
this time last year. Rye shows up
somewhat better with the condition OF
81 per cent, as compared with 80 per
cent. in 1918. Barley is an exception
ally small crop in this State and but
few reports are made on same. Con-
dition is given at 95 per cent.
Anticipated acreage of corn is given
at 90 per cent. Owing to the continued
cold and wet weather, the preparation
of the ground was greatly delayed and
the condition of ground as of June
LIST, was rs per cent. It is estimated
that 81 per cent. of planting has been
done but some ground remains un-
broken. Condition of growing corn Is
72 per cent. Some replanting Of early
corn will be necessary in localities.
Oats acreage is 81 per cent, which
is 6 per cent. lower than last year;
while condition is IS per cent. Hemp
acreage has fallen very low with prac-
tically about ITO of reports coming
in on this crop as is customary. The
few reports give the acreage at Al
per cent, with its condition at 80.
The estimated acreage planned of bur-
ley tobacco is 81 per cent, which is Is
per cent. less than last years esti
mate. Condition of plants Is SO per
cent. with about 81 per cent. of crop
set. Dark tobacco acreage planned is
given at 50 per cent, which is 10 per
cent. less than estimated in 1918. Con-
dition of plants is given at 80 per
cent. with "a per cent of crop set.
Grasses show up well: Blue grass
SO per cent; clover SO per cent; Or
chard grass SO per cent: alfalfa 80
per cent. First cutting of alfalfa has
made fair yield
The general outlook for yield of hay
is given at "a per cent. Expected acre
age of soy beans is 80 per cent, while
that of SOW peas is SO per cent
Live stock shows in good condition,
the same being 81 per cent. of normal
while poultry only shows at so per
cent.
The early frost has proven very dis
astrous to fruit in most localities and
a short crop may be expected with the
exception of blackberries.
Only about 81 per cent. of straw
berry crop was reported. Garden con-
ditions are low, owing to the wet sea-
son; condition of same is given at rs
per cent. while potatoes are given at
SO per cent Potato acreage shows at
SO.
The exceptional seasonable wealth
er prevailing the first week in June
finds the farmers of the State busy in
their eager endeavors to get caught
up in their much retarded task Of pre-
pairing the ground and planting the
crops. Farm labor is still scarce.

Commissioner of Agriculture

Official Reports Show Thlrty-nlne
Counties Over Top In Victory
LOan--Cut Made In the
Area Totals.

The Lexington area Of the Fourth
Federal Reserve subscribed $780,
700 in the Victory Loan, and seventeen
counties failed to reach their quotas,
according to the official report from
the Cleveland headquarters received
by Chairman r. T. Anderson Friday.
The official figures differ in several
instances from those received at the
end of the campaign by Chairman An
derson from county chairmen and the
banks Of the area, as by the figures at
Lexington headquarters forty-two
counties oversubscribed and the Cleve-
land office only gives credit to thirty
nine. Martin county, which has no
subscription recorded in the list be-
low, reported $500 to Chairman An
derson, and Estill, Rockcastle, Pulaski
and Morgan also reported that their
quotas had been exceeded.
Mr.. Anderson believes that the dis
crepancy is due to the fact that some
persons who made pledges to buy
bonds may not have redeemed them,
and that some banks which reported
to the Cleveland head
quarters failed to report to chairmen
or vice versa. The total of $780,
700 is slightly in excess of the final
figures prepared by Mr.. Anderson
from the reports of county chairmen.
The subscription figures for coun-
ties in this section follow:

Ordinance No. 2S, adopted March
2, 1892, is about the first legisla.

minimize the fire hazard. The or
dinance provides for the appoint
ment of two fire wardens, whose
duties require them to examine as
often as once every six months, and
as much oftener as they shall deem
necessary, all houses and structures,
fire places, stove pipes, fues, boil
ers, and all other apparatus which
may be dangerous in causing fires.

Letters From
The People
Editor Evening Herald:

L1oASoi AIVShih6 AhOh hotu'
Permit me to remark that as a
citizen on the side-line have noted
that the representatives of the
State Fire Marshal's Department
have come and gone. Their report
on conditions as found to exist was
given to the public through The
Herald of September 20 and pre-
sumably will be filed with the coun-
ell on or about October 6.
The report contains, at least. two
very pertinent statements, to-wit:
"It needs no argument to demon
strate that fire once started carries
serious possibilities of destruction.
1t makes no difference how or where,
fire is always dangerous"
Every city must learn for itself
that it will pay very dealy for cheap
structures in the congested district
insufficient fire apparatus or an in.
complete water system"
Unquestionably those two state
ments sum up the fire situation
pretty accurately, and are general in
their application.
This city has had several serious
fires; SO has Portland, San Fran
Francisco, Chicago. New York, Bal
timore; was going to mention Sc
attic, but concluded not to-where
the fire-fghting facilities had reach
ed the scientific cone of perfection
where, presumably, municipal ordi
nances designed for the minimizing
and suppression of fire hazards were
enforced without fear or favor;
where nothing but fire-proof class
"A" buildings were permitted in
congested districts.
So it appears, that even where all
precautions are taken, disastrous
confagrations have occurred with
alarming frequency. This fact, how
ever. in nowise tustifies any relaxa-
tion of efforts In precautionary
measures to prevent such catastro-
Plies or excuses neglect on the part
of any city to enforce precautionary
measures to the limit of its execu-
tive ability.
