CORN ESTIMATE IS
BETTER THIS MONTH
Burley Tobacco Shows Falling
Off In Condition From July
Crop Report

Considerable increases in the
estimates of production of corn,
oats and potatoes in Kentucky,
compared to July l estimates, a
slight increase in the estimate of
the wheat crop in Kentucky, and
a slight decrease in the states
tobacco prospects, are the fea
lures of the monthly crop report
issued today at Louisville and
Frankfort by the u. S. Bureau of
Crop Estimates in cooperation
with State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture w. c. Hanna. Tobacco
shows slight reduction from
July estimates because of rather
poor condition in some sections,
but as there is big acreage in
the hurley belt which partly
makes up for the reduced acreage
in Western Kentucky and both
sections can yet make a full nor
NAL yield if given favorable
weather, the estimate of tobacco
production is not greatly reduced.
The United States total tobacco
crop is considerably larger than
last year
Probable corn production in
Kentucky is estimated at 96,941,-
900 bushels, compared to July l
estimate of 86,17O,OOO and a crop
last year of 72,5OO,O0O bushels;
wheat this month is estimated at
6,304,O0 Obushels, compared to
July l estimate of 6,275,OOO bush
els, and Il production of 12,O2o. 900
bushels last year; potatoes 6,355,-
600 bushels compared to pros
poets July l for 5,971 900 bushels.
and a crop last year of 5.O4O.OOO
bushels; and tobacco 431 $4,000
pounds. compared to a July es-
innate of 437, $4,000 pounds. and
last years production of 456, ,5OO,-
900 pounds. This estimate on to-
bacco may be increased or de-
creased later, however, depending
on favorable or unfavOrable
weather.
Rye production in Kentucky
this season is estimated at $4,000
bushels compared to 744,OO0 bus.
last year; oats 11,615,OOO bushels,
compared to 100000 last year;
barley. 112.0O0 bushels, courpared
to 100000 bushels last year and

SUFFRAGE CARRIES IN
TENNESSEE SENATE
House Will Now Consider 1t
Monday When 1t Seems Sure
To Go Through
(By Associated Press)

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 14-Tho
Tennessee Senate late Friday rat
ihed the woman suffrage amend
ment. The vote was Is to A.
The vote came after two hours
debate. Adoption of the resolu-
tion was moved by Senator Has
ton, floor leader of the suffra-
gists. The opposition made a
point of order that the Legislature
had no authority to act under the
state constitution, but it was ov-
erruled by the Speaker. An ap-
peal to the members on a motion
to sustain the Speaker was car
ried, u to 5.
Four members answered pres
bent, but not voting" when the
roll was called. and later two of
them Zone in favor Of suffrage
and the other against it) explain
ed they were doubtful of the con-
stittuional authority of the legis-
lature to act. Most of the debate
had centered around this ques-
tion.
The majority in the Senate was
much larger than the most ard
ent of the suffrage leaders had
expected, and they predicted that
vote would have a good effect on
the House, which is to vote on
ratification Monday.
Seventeen votes were neCes-
sary for ratification and when the
required number had been record
ed tumultous demonstration oc-
CURED. The Speaker had difficulty
in restoring order so that the roll
call might be completed.
Both the Senate and House ad-
journed until Monday afternoon.
Speaker Walker of the House an
nounccd that the committee of
the lower house to which the res
olution had been referred, would
meet Monday night to consider
action.

This Governors A Game Sport

Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 14-In a
speech, largely an argument
against woman suffrage, Cover
nor Beckett urged the North Car
olina legislation in joint session
here Friday TO ratify the SUSAN b.
Anthony amendment to the fed
eral constitution.
Beckett announced at the out
set he personally is opposed to
suffrage and is Gin deepest sym
pathy" with 63 legislators who
who signed a message to the
Tennessee legislator urging them
not to ratify.
Beckett said. however. women
should have a voice in deciding
whether the League of Nations
covenant is adopted or not; that,
as they are the mothers of sol
diers they should be allowed to
voice their sentiments on meas
ure designed to make war impOs-
sible.
He said he was out of sympa-
thy with those who held the SUI
frage amendment was an inter-
ence with state rights.
Woman suffrage, the governor
said, is a condition and not the
theory, and urged the legislature
to accept the situation with good
grace.
