The Frankfort State journal says:
1.-The Kentucky election is over and
it appears that Mr. Morrow has won
by a vote large enough to leave no
room for dispute Mr.. Morrow has
followed in the footsteps of his dis
tinguished uncle, the late Senator
w. o. Bradley, who was believer in
the old adage, If at first you don't
succeed, try, try again In his sue
cessful race he shows the virtue Of
perseverance in politics. He has
made a most aggressive campaign
and obviously many of the voters
have been impressed by his vigorous
arguments. The result is not just
what the State Journal expected
and it is naturally disappointing to
Democrats, but there is world of
ups and downs and victories and de-
feats and there is no escaping these
occasional political upsets. This pa
per supported the Democratic ticket
consistently and consclentiously.
Having made what it considers a
good fight it sees no occasion for
reproach. 1t is believer in the will
of the majority and therefore acqui-
esces in the result, hoping that Mr..
Morrow may be able to realize on at
least some of his plans for the bet
terment of the Commonwealth.

CROP REPORT OF KENTUCKY


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 unfayorable, with the extreme
drouth throughout the summer
monfhs Sandssgthe continued rains
Throughout ahe fall months and
mich 26dni6laant is voiced of corn
damaging ifItHe shock.
The prospects for the wheat crop
of 1920 in this State are not good.
The anticipated acreage is exceed
ingly small, the same showing at 81
per cent, which, compared with the
ia per cent. acreage sown in 1913
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 Sc per cent.
| Barley is sown in but few commu-
mites, and the very few reports COM
| ing to this Office show the acreage at
80 per cent, with condition Sc per
cent.
| Final estimate on the corn crop
| o1o toll Of o.
bushels per acre, which is two bush
els per acre less than last year.
This would indicate production of
something over 78,000,000 bushels
for the year.
The estimate on Burley tobacco in
final yield is 716 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 State average
is given at 68 bushels per acre of
the second crop of Irish potatoes, and
SO bushels per acre of sweet potatoes.
Pastures have greatly improved,
and show a condition of "a per cent,
which is an exceptional condition for
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 shows as fol-
lows:
Horss, number on hand 81 per
cent, condition 90 per cent.
Cattle, number on hand SO per
cent, condition 80 per cent.
Hogs, number on hand 81 per
cent, condition SO per cent.
Sheep, number on hand 81 per
cent, condition "a per cent.
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
growing season. and excessive rains
during the maturing season all
crops are cut both as to quantity
and quality.

Neither savant nor sage, neither

he still represented in a typical

of the best, most cherished fea-

Very little may remain of his ac-
cepted and recognized deeds, still
Less may be remembered Of his
social activities, his welfare work
and other occupations to which
he was naturally drawn by some
unseen hand of fate or destiny, yet
there was a certain strong if pc
culiar personality that could sue

not the best instincts, the higher

had much of the spirit that breeds

RALPH DELANY SOUTHWELL

The sudden and unexpected
death of Mr.. Ralph D. Southwell
which occurred at the home OF his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Jeff j. Forgey
on Saturday, June 7th between
the hours Of two and six O'Clock
was a great shock to the members
Of his family as well as his nu-
merous friends throughout South
Louisiana. While the deceased
had been ailing for the past three
weeks no one thought the end SO
near. On Saturday as late AS
twelve noon he was at his desk IN
the Elk Lodge room transactlng
business for that Order. After
reaching home, he ate a hearty
dinner and retired to his room to
take a rest, as was his custom.
About six in the afternoon it was
thought strange he had not aWak-
ened and Mr.. Forgey went to his
room and called him. Receiving
no replv he went to his bedside
and soon discovered he was not
breathing. Thinking him still
alive, physicians were called who
pronounced him dead. Mr.. South
well was born in New Iberia on
December 25th, 1875 and was a
son of the late VIM. Southwell and
Elizabeth Hathorn of Mississippi.
Deceased spent several years OF
his life in the city Of Rochester,

he was elected a member Of the

position of trust he served fait-,-
fully for four years. He was
elected secretary Of the Elk Lodge
