The next big investigation will be
that the people undertake to find
out why the Republican majority
isn't keeping at least ten per cent.
Of its promises Of good legislation.
When that inquiry comes it is pretty
certain that some distinguished gen.

office under false pretenses.

this time of the year. All classes of
live stock are in good condition, and
the number on hand as compared
with an average year show as fol-
lows:

Hogs-Number on hand, 81 pei

Sheep-Number on hand, 50 PEI

Taken as a whole, the average
yields for this year have been cut
down, which is attributed TO the un-
seasonable crop year. Fall work is
greatly delayed on account of con-
tinued rains, and a great deal of
complaint comes in regard to the
corn and fodder being damaged in
the shock. Taking into consideration
the extreme drouth during the grow

ing the maturity season all crops are

This is the last crop report Of the
season 1919 issued BY this depart
ment, and gives the final estimates
on yield Of corn and tobacco, neither
of which crops are entirely housed
as yet. This crop season has been
very unfavorable, with the extreme
drouth throughout the long summer
months and the continued rains
throughout the fall months and
much complaint is voiced of corn
damaging in the shock.
The prospects for the wheat crop
of 1920 in this State are not good.
The anticipated acreage is excep-
tionally small, the same showing at
81 per cent, which, compared with
the ia per cent. acreage sown in
1918 shows the crop has been cut so
per cent. The condition of wheat at
this time is given at 70 per cent.
Only about so per cent. of the acre
age planned was reported sown up
to November /.
The acreage Of rye that is being
sown is also lower than last year,
the same being SO per cent, with
condition showing at SO per cent.
Barley is sown in but few COM
munities, and the very few reports
coming to this office show the acre
age at go per cent, with condition at
90 per cent.
Final estimate on the corn crop
shows an average yield Of % $40 bu.
per acre, which is two bushels per
acre less than last year. This would
indicate production of something
over 100000 bushels for the year.
The estimate on Burnley tobacco in
final yield is ZIG pounds per acre,
while dark tobacco is estimated at
835 pounds per acre. This is lighter
in both districts than last year.
A light crop Of potatoes is also re-
ported. The yield as a state average
is given at 68 bushels per acre of the
second crop of Irish potatoes, and
SO bushels per acre Of sweet pota-
toes.
Pastures have greatly improved,
and show a condition of "a per cent,
which is an exceptional condition for

A NOBLE WORK

Aid in increasing the work Of
Margaret College for Girls at Yer
sailles, and st. Johns Institute and
Wentworth Farm at Corbin, as well
as the placing Of three new diocesan
missionaries in the field and the
building of a community house for
the negro congregation Of st. An
drew's, Lexington, are among the
outstanding features in the activities
projected in the survey of the Epis-
copal diocese Of Lexington, made in
connection with the church's nation
wide campaign. The total amount
asked for work in this diocese, to be
raised through the nation wide cam
paign in three years is $302,172.
The girls school at Versailles,
under the presidency Of the Rev. G.
H. Harris, is doing greater work than
ever before, with pupils from all
parts Of Kentucky and With big
waiting list. The need of an endow-
ment, canceling of debts or buildings
and completion of unfinished work
has been recognized by the diocesan
committee of the nation wide cam
paign as Of greatest Importance to
the upholding and spread of religi-
GUS culture through the State.
The seventeen years. record of st.
Johns Collegiate Institute and Went
worth Farm School at Corbin as a
constructive influence to the noun
tain people has been recognized in
the diocesan survey. Scientific ag-
riculture and dairying, weaving and
forging are taught in a Christian at
mosphere. The schools store, through
the cooperation Of the Women's
Auxiliary, furnishes clothing at re-
duced prices. Archdeacon F. B.
Wentworth has conducted the school
with increasing usefulness to the
community.
