NATURE ON THE JOB

The cnrmon belief-which certain
scientists have. assured US. is fact
that more boys than girls are
born during and Immediately after
a war. This is Natures way of re-
plenishing the forces dpleted by the
canncns. This condition has pre-
vailed in TIE past, and if we are to
have faith in Nature, it must be ex-
pected to hold now. But in certain
quarters TIL birth rate has fallen off,
ard babies of either sex have ceased
t oarrive as numerously as THEY
once did. There are some who call
this state of affairs a progressive
step; it is generally so-called by
those who ae most responsible for
it. The emancipation of woman"
is another name for it. There are
others who, though heartily favoring
the granting of equal franchise to
The hitherto submerged sex, deplore
the feverish desire Of the new free
women to be done with all domestic
ares.
Those who ''view with alarm" the
present condition have been asking
chow is the customary post-ballum
reolenishnent of the male popula-
ton to eventuate?" But Nature is
II work, female Nature herself,
The emancipation of woman affects
net one class, but all SO those who
were accustomed to the performance
cf household duties for pay are
soaking other and more "emancipa-
ted" places. Servant girls are hard
= get. Therefore those hcrselieap-
eys who were once able to employ
:icm, and who then found time for
3gUbling in politics and other things
which are not really work, are find
:,1g, it more and more. necessary to
attend domestic affairs them
selves.

STRIKING RAILROADERS

1t is thought that present condi-

States will reach it's crisis today.
InsurgenS leaders, it is stated, are
still in control Of the situation. These
leaders are represented as being de-
fiant, and telegraphic reply to
properly constituted labor officials,
who had urged the men - return to
work while awaiting negotiations.
was brief-only this and nothing
more: eco to hell"
This action upon the part Of rad
ical members of certain labor or
CARNATIONS has long been anticipa-
ted. 1t was apparent hat the time
would come when dissatisfied men
would defy their superior officers.
While the country is rocking with
disorder. the result of strikes, it is
pleasing to note that railroad men
in teh south art not following the
wild movements of their associates
in other sections of the country.

WAR ON RATS

Now that Germany has been put
out Of commission from Il military
standpoint. two Of the foremost ma
items which have engaged in form
ulating peace are directing their eff
forts towards Kidding the world of
rats, those sagacious unwelcome
guests which gnaw their way into
dwellings, granarles and chicken
cccps. 1t is stated that many mil
lions of dollars worth Of eatablcs
are destroyed annually by these re-
pusive creatures. which generally
will not enter traps ncr eat food
upon which poison has been placed.
England Recently began a crusade
against the rodents, and every means
which can be devised to rid premises
of the destroyers are being utilized.
The United States is to have a
rat week during which determined
efforts will be made to eliminate
this so-called spreader Of disease,
devour of food, and often incendi-
airy, as t is believed they start
many fires by gnawing matches.
The anti-rat week idea originated
in Lcr Ion, where noted health lead
ers formed society to fight the
pest. One member turned his barn
into a great cage in which he killed
nearly 200 rats in one day.
The rat is not native of the
American continent, but as it fol-
lows man wherever he goes, it did
not take it long to make its way on
ships across the ocean with Euro
peans. AT first only the English
black rat made the voyage. This
creature is not 50. fierce or as large
as tho present brown rat. The lat.
ter, supposed to be native Of the
East Indies. came here via Norway,
and in short time eXterminated
the black.

KENTUCKY
CROP REPORT
49,
Issued Oct. BY State Department
of Agriculture, Frankfort,
Kentucky.

Crops as a whole are under aver
age due to late spring and poo
growing conditions. The drouth has
affected every part of the State ano
while some of the late maturing corr
is coming out, yet, as whole the
corn crop is not up to normal. The
estimated average yield of corn this
pear as % bushels per acre as COM
pared with 25 bushels average IN
1918 which was also dry year. The
quality is given at S5 per cent. The
estimated production for the State
according to above estimates would
be something over n million bush
els.
The final estimate on wheat makes
an average of 1915 bushels per acre
or a total estimated production of
1898, 900 bushels. This is consid-
erably less than last year but while
the state acreage was increased the
production averaged 2 bushels less
per acre this year.
Condition of Burley tobacco is
given at Is per cent of crop housed.
Condition of Dark tobacco is 81 per
cent and an estimated average yield
of 794 pounds per acre with 67 per
cent of the crop housed. The total
number of pounds of all tobacco
produced is given on the preliminary
estimate to be 1891, 900 pounds.
Hemp is an especially short crop
with small acreage and the, few esti-
mates received on this would indi.
cate a light yield
Yield of potatoes is indicated to
be 595 bushels per acre with condi-
ton given at " per cent indicating
a production of 4, 10000 bushels
this year. While sweet potatoes
yield is estimated at 81 bushels per
acre average with condition of 81
per cent, indicating State produce
ton of 100000 bushels.
Grasses show as follows: ,p1I
Blue Grass. .....69 per cent
Glover ...."... .6S per cent
Orchard Grass ....... 80 per cent
Alfalfa -. ..........75 per cent
Third cutting of Alfalfa averaged
1.02 tons per acre.
Pastures are dry, but have great
ly improved the last month. Stock
water is scarce in many localities.
Condition of live stock is given at SO
per cent.
The acreage planned for fall wheat
= only IA per cent and with but lit
tie seeding done. This is about 33
per cent less than last years acreage.
Reports would indicate that IL per
cent of acreage planned had been
sown Oct. LIST,
The preliminary estimate on acre
age of rye is 80 per cent, which is
about the same as last year.
While wheat acreage is materially
cut, seeding is still in progress. Many
farmers are seeding to rye and bar
ley for cover crops. More and more
ground limestone is being used as the
farmers realize fully the value of its
to our soils.
