WHEAT AND RYE
CONDITIONS POOR
Wheat in KY. SO Per Cent Nor
NAL. Farmers Need SO Per
Cent as Much Labor This
Year as Last.

The condition of wheat and rye in
Kentucky as a whole is very poor,
and there are 13 per cent fewer brood
sows in the State than there were this
last year, according to the April. crop
and livestock report for Kentucky,
issued jointly April 0, at Frankfort
and Louisville by State Commissioner
of Agriculture W. c. Hanna and H. F..
Bryant, Kentucky field Agent of the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates Wheat condition in this State
April 1, is given as 81 per cent OF
normal, compared to 1913 per cent
April 1, 1919, and an average condi-
ton of SO per cent April 1, during the
last ten years. Rye condition is "A
this year compared to 100 last year
and an average condition of SO for
the last ten years.
Wheat Average Reduced.
The acreage of wheat and rye SOW
ed in Kentucky last fall was very
much reduced from previous years,
especially in Western Kentucky. This
cut in acreage was followed by a
rather unfavorable winter resulting in
considerable heaving and freezing out,
or by failure to get a good start be-
cause of late sowing.
Farm labor is very scarce in nearly
all parts of the State, the poorer sec
tons and those most accessible to
other industries being most affected.
Farmers in this State as whole re-
port they have only 81 per cent as
much labor as last year and only ~
per cent of a normal supply. There is
also some tendency to reduce pro-
duction as compared to that of war
time, farmers reporting they need 90
per cent as much labor as last year,
tho they say their need for labor is
still per cent greater than in normal
years.
Winter Wheat 75.6 of Normal.
Reports for the United States as a
whole indicate winter wheat condi-
ton is 1856 per cent of normal, COM
pared to 99.S per cent April 1919. and
an average of 84.1 per cent April 1,
for the last ten years. This indicates
a probable total production of about
s3,617 900 bushels of winter wheat
compared to 731, $4,000 bushels last
year and 565,OO9,0O0 bushels in 1918.
The United States rye crop now
shows condition of S6.s per cent
compared to 900 per cent April 1,
1919 and 80 per cent average for the
last ten years on April l. This condi-
ton of rye forecasts production OF
about 1884, 900 bushels this year
compared to ss,47s,OOO bushels last
year, 91,O41, 900 bushels in 1918 and an
average of 5OOO1 900 bushels during
the years preceding 1918. Brood
sows in the United States as whole
are 90 per cent fewer than on April

Mr.. Wilson's Power

When Mr.. Wilson was in p
he possessed in the great power and
resources of the United States an
argument which he used on many
occasions. The great dispute over
the exact wording of his speech to
the Rumanian, Serbian and Czecho-
Slovak delegations, on May 81, 1919,
indicates his policy. If the French
consented to abandon their claims
to the left bank of the Rhine and to
absolute possession of the Sarre
Basin, it was because Clemenceau
shrewdly calculated that American
alliance was worth more to France
than the alternative possibility.
Most of the trouble which has oc-
Cured in Europe since Mr.. Wilson
came home grew out of the fact
that the withdrawal Of America has
involved the withdrawal of those re-
sources for reward which were used
with such great effect at Paris.
Reverting to the question of Aus
tria, it is plain that power and legal
right lie with France to prevent the
union with Germany. But it is
equally plain that all French oppo-
