KY. CROPS
ABOVE AVERAGE
United States Department of Agri-
culture Bureau of Crop
Estimates.

Louisville, KY, May 10, 1919
Kentucky has passed the million acre
mark in her wheat acreage and now
has 1,046,0 900 acres left for harvest,
as the. crop came through the winter
in such excellent condition that only
one per cent of the big acreage sown
last fall was plowed up for other
crops. It's excellent condition, 102
per cent, now promises a crop of
15,257, 900 bushels if no serious in
jury occurs before harvest. Last
year at this time the condition was
101 per cent, while the ten year av-
erage condition is sc per cent. The
entire United States winter wheat
crop now shows a condition of 1905
percent compared to to 1914 per
cent May 1, 1918, while the total
acreage is 48,719,129 compared to
36,704,000 acres last year. This in
dicates probable crop of 899,915,-
600 bushels of winter wheat alone,
compared to 55S,449,0 900 bushels
produced last year.
Rye and hay in Kentucky now
show increases slightly less than last
year, rye 61,750 acres which is 5 per
cent decrease, and hay 1,050,560
acres, which is two percent decrease.
Condition of rye is now 100 per cent
and hay 95 per cent compared to 80
per cent and 90 per cent, respective
ly last year. Kentucky farmers report
13 per cent of last years hay crops
still on farms compared to an aver
age of "a percent for the entire
United States.
Farm work is very unevenly adj
vanced in this state, the farmers re-
porting rs per cent of blowing and
AZ per cent of planting done by May
/ compared to rs percent and 40 per
cent May l, 1913. Some sections are
very well advanced while others are
badly delayed by wet weather. Pas
lures show condition of go percent
compared to 81 per cent last year.
Livestock came through the winter
in good condition both in Kentucky
and the United States as a whole.
Spring lambs are doing well, though
occasionally farmers report serious
losses.

We predict for Senator A. Q. Stan
ley brilliant career in the Senate
He returns to the halls of Congress
where he naturally belongs, no doubt
sick and tired of dishing out spoils
of Office to gang of hungry politi-
clans who have often caused him to
be criticised for their own short
comings. He is essentially a states
man and a legislator and not an ex-
ecutive. He loves his friends too
well to deny them when denial would
be the part of wisdom and sef-inter-
est. Now watch Stanley shake off
the parasites, step into Ollie James
shoes and take his place among the
Democratic leaders in Congress.
Kentucky needs him in the Senate
where men are in demand. Kentucky
has had some mighty lightweights for
governor, but her greatest senators
ike Beck, Carlisle and James never
held state offices. Stanley made a
mistake when he quit Congress volun-
tarily.

Barn and Cattle Burned

About 9 o'clock last Saturday night
the large barn on the former Brick
Bevis farm two miles from Penns
Grove, owned by Harry S. Barber.
was set on fire and entirely consumed
with the contents. In the barn was
fifteen tons of hay and much straw.
Fifteen cows, a bull, a calf and three
horses were also burned. Some of the
COWS were graded Guernseys and val
ued at $500 a head.
There was no one at home when the
fire started. Frank Dennis and fam
lily, the tenants, went to Penns Grove
with the milk about two hours pre-
vious and he personally saw that
everything was safe before leaving.
Charles Matthews, who has the gar
age on the Penns Grove road, near the
farm, first saw the fire and he with
James Griffith got out ten cows and
four horses.
Liberty Firemen We're on the scene
soon but could do little because there
was no water pipe line near.
The roasted cattle was a grewsome
sight and Mr.. BARRIERS loss is about
$4,000 with insurance to cover about
half.
This is the fourth barn to be burned
on the same site in thirty years. One
was owned by Josiah N. Brick, two by
John NJ. Bevis.
