GOV. BLACK
Asks Members of State
Book Commission To
Resign.

Frankfort, KY, Governor Black
asked the members Of the State Text
Book Commission to resign when
they convened in his Office last week.
Prof. E. r. Alexander, Of Western
Kentucky State Normal School, at
Bowling Green, refused and a num-
Der of others followed his lead. The
Governor, addressing the Commits
sioners, reviewed their appointment
and their adoption of school books,
which was recently declared invalid.
He said: THAT their acts had been
criticised with some Justice; that the
public sentiment was against them"
He declared that he had no power to
remove them, but thought that the
best interests of the state would be
served if they would quit. Prof
Alexander in reply asserted that the
commission was composed of young
men with futures before them and
that they had followed his guidance
in constituting the law which was cap
able Of various interpretations. "For
one, he said. 81 would not think Of
resigning unless forced to-"

BIG INCREASE IN
YIELD OF WHEAT
Oats Affected By Cool
Wet Weather, But
Hay Crop Has
Made Excellent
Growth.

The crop report for Kentucky, is
sued by II. F. Bryant, Federal field
agent of the Agricultural Depart
ment, under date of June 10, follows:
With numerous reports of short or
poorly filed heads and some damage
from rust and Logging, Kentueky's
wheat crop promises 100000
bushels, compared to prospect early
in May for 1921 900 bushels Last
year the final yield turned out 49,
1919, 900 bushels, while the five-year
average 1897 inclusive, was only
9,s62,O00 bushels. The heaviest
damage has been apparently, in
Southwestern and Western Kentucky.
Oats did not do so well during the
cold, wet weather in May as might
have been expected, but are now do
ing well except where too badly
drowned out. The condition is now
90 per cent, of normal and the aver
age about 3ss,000 acres, 8 per cent
less than 1918, indicating a produc-
ton of about 10,429,44o bushels.
Rye shows a condition of 90 per
cent, of normal With about $4,000
acres in the State to be harvested of
grain, this indicates a production of
approximately s56,716 bushels.
Barley acreage in Kentucky this
year is about per cent less than
1918, or about 6,s60 acres, probably
due to increased Burley tobacco acre
age. Practically all the barley is 90
per cent of normal, indicating a pro-
duction of about 203,554 bushels.
Hay has made fine growth, but
much of the first cutting of alfalfa
was badly damaged by wet weather.
Condition of clover is 90 per cent,
with the acreage about per cent,
less than 1918. Alfalfa condition is
90 per cent because many farmers
had to delay the first cutting until the
second growth shoots from the crown
got so long they were clipped by the
mower. The acreage is about the
same as in 1918.
Apples are irregular. Many or
chards had practically all apples killed
by the late freeze, but some orchards
have fair crop. The average is
about 35 per cent of crop. Peaches
are about S3 per cent of crop, while
pears are only about 26 per cent.
Pasture excellent all over the State.
Truck crops are growing fine, but
melons were severely checked by the
cold wet weather in May. Black
berries promise bumper crop prac-
tically all over the State.

Swinebroads
Next Sale Dates.

G. B. Swinebroad, the Real Estate
Man, informs US that he will hold
sales on the following dates: 100
acres of fine land in Garrarj county
in the Camp Dick Robinson section,
near Bryantsville, on July 18th; 230
acres, five miles from Lancaster in
the Hubble section on July 10th; 200
acres in Pulaski county, near Somer-
set, on July 81. =
All of these farms are attractive
subdivision propositions and Swine
broad will sub-divide and sell them in
separate tracts.
Watch the papers for description
of these different tracts of land. You
know Swinebroad never takes over
anything unless it is a proposition
that appeals to The buyer. Also on
July 2Srd, he will hold sale of the
Aberdeen-Angus herd of cattle for
Mr.. r. II. Crow, near Shelby City, and
also lot Of other personal property,
stock, farming implements. etc, at

MORE POLITICS
Than Business Here
Last Monday.

Last Monday was about the dullest
court day seen in Lancaster in many
months. Few people were in town
and those that came seem to have had
little business 1t rained most of
the day and lots Of farmers were re-
setting tobacco, as it was the first
season" here in a month.
Politics seemed the topic Of the
day, with those who enjoy talking of
such things, most Of the interest be-
ing conferred on the successor to
Judge Hardin, when he resigns his
seat as Judge of this Judicial Dis
trict.
Two candidates having already an;
and mingled through the small crowd
nouneed, were on the grounds early
most of the day. They were Hon.
Kendrick Aleorn, of Stanford and
Hon. Henry Jackson, Of Boyle,
Each of the splendid gentlemen
have a goodly following in this county
and they together with their friends
were telling the people of the good
merits Of each. The race promises
to be interesting later on in the cam
paign, when others who are thinking
of entering may shy their hat in the
ring.
