A statement given out by j. G. Hol-
lister, chairman Of the w. s. s. COM
mittee of North Dakota at Fargo,
says that the treasury department
realized the magnitude of the work,
but did not know what to expect, YET
now they realize what has been done,
and the people have been shown how
easy it is to saw a billion dollars.
Plans for 1919 are not announced
and not much more work 10 antici-
pated; there may be a great deal
later, but nothing like last year. The

ciples Of chemistry and to prove
their origin was o in Germany, but
elsewhere.
However, the Germans have
shown great chemical ability, not SO
much because of their genius, but
rather because Germany was the first
nation to appreciate the possibilities
of the application of chemistry to hu-
man progress" England, DR.. Abbott
asserted, had shown great apathy in
the appreciation of chemistry. and
drop German bombs into the streets
Of London did she awake to the ire
mendous power of chemistry. The
appreciation of the greatness of
chemistry made Germany a great
commercial nation, further reiterated
DR.. Abbott.
Progress of Four Years.
Showing the comparison between
German achievements and those of
America, DIR. Abbott brought out tho
point that it too America just four
years to accomplish, in chemical
lines. what it had taken Germany
plainly the handicaps with which the
Allies were confronted al the open
ing of the val and how American
Ichemists had surmounted them. He
stated that very few people realize
the tremendous importance Of Amer
ica's cooperation at the crucial mo-
ment.
Speaking further Of Americas ac-
complishments, the speaker made
clear the point that in this past year
American chemists had supplied all
Of Americas in the chemical
line and in addition had exported
twenty million dollars. worth OF
chemical supplies to other nations
The speaker proved that American
dyes were fast, and that the trouble
which many people had experienced
with dyed goods recently came from
the using of the last installment OF
German dyes shipped into this coun-
TRY before the war.
DR.. Abbott told something OF the
work of the chemical welfare service
of the United States. that branch o.
the army engaged exclusively In
chemical work.
AS an interesting conclusion to hit
talk, DR.. Abbott introduced Henry
Ehrig, recently of the chemical vel.
fare service OF the United States. and
q university student Of last year, who
demonstrated to the audience the use
Of " Of the gas masks used y
the American army. The first masl
was one manufactured in England
and used first by the American army
The second was the latest product o.

German chemists had never reached

DR.. Abbott saids that we feel in

THE CROP SEASON
IN KENTUCKY IS
VERY DISCOURAGING
Last Crop Report Of the Season Says
the Entire Crop Season Has Been
Quite UnfavOrable.


State Commissioner of Agriculture
Mat s. Cohen has issued the following
crop report as of November s:
This is the last crop report of the
season 1919 issued by this Department
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 unfavor-
able, with the extreme drouth thru
out the summer months and the con-
tinued rains throughout the fall
months, and much complaint is voiced
as to corn damaging in the shock.
The prospects for the wheat crop OF
1920 in this state are not good. The
anticipated acreage is exceptionally
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 72 per cent. Only about so
per cent. of the acreage planned was
reported sown up to November 1st.
The acreage of Rye that is being
sown is also lower than last year, the
same being SS per cent, with condition
showing at SO per cent.
Barley is sown bur few communi-
ties, and the very few reports coming
to this office show the acreage at 92
per ceni with condition SO per cent
Final estimate on the corn crop
shows an average yield Of 23 $40 bu.
per acre, which is 2 bushels per acre
less than last year. This would indi-
cate production of something over
100000 bushels for the year.
The estimate on Burley tobacco in
flsl is. TIC pounds per acre, while
Gark tobacco is estimated at 1886
rc cunds per acre. This is lighter in
tn districts than last year.
A light crop of potatoes is also re-
| rted. The yield as state average
l., given at 6s bushels per acre of the
second crop of Irish potatoes, and SO
! lshels per acre of sweet potatoes.
Pastures nave greatly improved, and
show a condition of "a per cent, which
Is exceptional condition for this time
cf the year
All Glasses of live stock are in good
{ ndition, and the number on hand as
{ impaired with an average year show
az follows:
Horses, number on hand 81 per
{ Mt; condition 92 per cent.
Cattle, number ON hand Ss per cent;
{ ndition 92 per cent,
Hogs, number on hand 81 per cent;
[ ndition S3 per cent.
Sheep, number on hand 80 per cent;
ndition 81 per cent.
Taken as a Whole, the average yields
, this year have been cut down,
\ hich is attributable to the unseason-
+ Ile crop year. Fall work is greatly
delayed on account of continued rains,
