ANNUAL ESTIMATE
OF kENTUCKY'S CROPS

The annual revised estimates of &C
reage and production of crops in Ken
lucky for 1920, issued December 81
by the United States Bureau of Crop
Estimates in cooperation with State
Commissioner of Agriculture w. c.
Hanna, show an estimated production
of 100, 6650,000 bushels of corn; 467,-
1000 pounds of tobacco of all types
in the state; 100000 bushels of
wheat; 8,225,OOO bushels of oats;
6,435,O 900 bushels of Irish potatoes;
1,508, 900 tons of hay.
The estimates for all crops indicate
increase in production of corn, bar
ley, oats POTATOES, apples, peaches,
pears, sorghum, soy beans and clover
seed; the same production as in 1919
of beans, cowpeas and sweet potatoes
and decreased production of tobacco,
wheat rye and hay. Burely tobacco
production in the state increased (ac-
cording to unrevised estimates) from
about 213,O00,000 pounds in 1919 to
about 236,500,O00 pounds in 1920.
These estimates may be slightly re-
viSed later when more complete
checking up of yields is possible. The
reduction of dark tobacco acreage in
Western Kentucky together with
light yield iii other counties in 1920
reduced the estimates of the states
total tobacco crop of all types from
49S 100000 pounds in 1919 to 467,-
100000 pounds of all types together
in 1920.
The acreage of wheat sown in Ken
lucky in the fall of 1y20 is estimat-
ed at $4,000 acres, the same as 1919,
the condition of the crop December l
being 81 per cent of normal, compar-
cd to so per cent December l, 1919.
The total acreage of wheat sown in
the United States in the fall of 1920
is estimated at 40,605 900 acres, or
97.2 percentageof the acreage sown
in the fall of 1919. The condition Of
the United States wheat crop Decein-
Der 1, 1920, is given as 87.9 per cent
of normal, compared to Sg.2 Deem
Der 1, 191y, and a10-ycar average De-
cernber L of 8S.4 per cent.

FIGHTS
ALIEN HOLD ON
HER TREASURY
U. S. IncIines to Picking in Move
to Regain Control of
Finances.
BY HARRY l.. ROGERS,
International News Service.

For practical. as well as ethical
reasons, the United States will oppose
any attempt in the present conference
to increase effective foreign control
OF Government finance in China, II
was learned today.
Aside from deep seated belief tina /
China should be given back as rapidly
the treaty powers have won from
her during the past sixty years, the
American delegation recognizes that
public opinion in China is aroused 10
such an extent against foreign con.
troll that any contrary course would
ultimately be doomed to failure.
The strong sentiment is due in part
to the feeling that such control is like
ly to last longer than necessary, and
that foreign officers are expensive
lack knowledge Of local conditions.
and indisposed to have proper respect
for their Chinese superiors.
The unwillingness of foreign powers
or individuals in positions of influence
to introduce notifications i'm the
financial services now under control
of foreigners looking TO gradual in.
PRODUCTION Of Chinese to positions OF
responsibility is another reason why
the Chinese are suspicious OF any plan
for foreign financial administration.
At the same time, the United States
has formally endorsed the four-power
consortium, and Secretary. Hughes
fully appreciates the fact that bank
ing interests will not lend money to
China unless adequate safeguards are
provided. Restoration of customs
autonomy and the increase OF the
tariff rates from 5 per cent to 12h
per cent are expected to accomplish
much for China, but no one closely in
touch with the situation believes
these reforms, important as they are.
will be sufficient to supply China s
needs of capital for the development
of her resources.
