attained.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE
AIDED BY GOOD RAINS

Recent and tolerably general rains
came in the nick of time to catch
crops in this County as moisture was
beginning to be essential. The cool
spell some time ago coupled with
needed rain had a tendency to fur
Their retard an already late corn crop.
but since the downpour of the latter
part of last week warm weather has
again prevailed and the advancement
has been wonderful.
The rainfall was excessive in some
localities and portion of the County
received but little, in fact rain is still
needed. The northern section was
visited by too much and the south
eastern portion lacks rain.
Tobacco is uneven in growth with
rather small stalk and poor leaves,
but the major portion of the crop is
well on the road to maturity, in fact
as early as it should be, Whit late
fall, considering present prospects,
the corn crop bids fair to surpass any
of recent years, in so far as quality is
concerned. The acreage is perhaps
equal to the average for the past half
dozen years.
The hay crop was unusually heavy
and practically all of 1t was harvested
in good condition, the greater portion
of which has been baled and stored.
Pasture at this season of the year was
never better and is certain to con-
tinue so for some time, with another
good rain in week or two from this
date good grazing is assured through
the season when it is usually very
poor. On the whole, the outlook for
Ohio County is by far, better than
the most sanguine hoped for in the
late spring.

Poland's existence and independ-
ence. No Allied troops would be
sent to Poland, he declared. 1t would
not be necessary he said, IL the Po-
lish resources were thoroughly or

The next action, continued the
Premier, would be to put economic
pressure upon Soviet Russia either
by naval action or international &C
ton. substantial stores, he said, were
available in that quarter of the world
which the Allies would feel obliged
to send to Poland
Replying to an interjection as to
what the position of America would
be, Mr.. Lloyd George said:
Eve certainly are going to appeal
to America. There is, of course, the
difficulty in America that up to the
present she has not ratified the trea-
~ and that the treaty is the subject of
conflict between the two great par
ties. 1t is not in our power to say
what view the American executive
would take. am only judging from
the attitude of America at the peace
conference. She was a strong pro
tagonist of Polish independence. No
man could have taken a more deter
mined and jealous part in setting up
League of Nations there would be no
difference in their general attitude
towards Polish independence"
The Premier declared that up to
the present Great Britain was taking
no steps to assist in any attack on So
Wet Russia inside her own territory,
since the British Governments chang
ed policy was announced.
The Premier declared that II the
negotiations with Soviet Russia had
broken down because of the Bolshe-
vik attitude and the Allies had cut
Russia off from the outside world
there would be an end to any trade
negotiations.
"If they want peace" he said.
"they can get 1t as the London confer
ence proposal was intended to estab-
lish peace"
