WHEAT SHOWS Big
Increase OVER LAST

Rye and Hay Also Show IN Advance
Grain in Kentucky Comes
Through Winter In Good
Shape.

The condition OF Kentucky's wheat
crop indicates a probable production
OF about 1851 900 bushels this season,
compared to 5,61O,OO0 bushels last
year according to the May crop report
issued Friday by the U. S. Bureau of
Crop Estimates in cooperation with
State Commissioner of Agriculture w.
C. Hanna.
Probable rye production is estimat-
ed at about 5O5,O00 bushels, compared
to 100000 bushels last year: and hay
Of all kinds about 1,611,O 900 tons COM
pared to 1,50S,000 tons grown last year
Actual production this season may
prove greater or less than these esti-
mates, depending on whether condi-
tions are particularly favorable or
unfavorable between now and thresh-
ing time and hay harvest, the report
shows.
Wheat and rye in most counties
came through the winter in good con-
dition, but farmers in most of the
wheat growing counties report that
wheat has been injured some by the
late frosts and cold wet weather this
spring. Kentucky's wheat acreage left
for harvest now is estimated at 100000
acres compared to $4,000 finally har-
vested last year, but some farmers re-
mort an intention to "hog down" wheat
il the price should be very low or a
poor yield in prospect at harvest time

SENIOR CLASS PLAY

@All.of.a.Sudden Peggy" Is Really
Worth While Comedy Executed As
Well As II BY Company Of Pro.
fesslonal Broadway Stars.

Everyone who saw the Senior Class
play "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy" at the
Washington Opera House Friday night
was agreeably surprised at the splen-
did manner IN which 1t was presented
by the cast Of Senior Glass members.
The comedy contains many Of the
features Of those two popular come
dies clarence" and "Oh Daddy" and
the members of the cast were selected
for their special fitness for their parts.
Miss Rosalind Cant, instructor in Eng
lish at the Maysville High School, has
demonstrated her ability as a pro-
ducer and In her choice Of the charac-
ters she was indeed fortunate.
Every member Of the cast filled his
or her part perfectly and the show
moved unusually smooth for home
talent in its first presentation. Among
the female characters Nan Chenault
as peggy" Mary C. Pollitt as Lady
Crackenthorpe' and Mildred Proctor
as "Mrs. OMara" divided honors, with
Nan Chenault in the stellar role every
whit as good in her lines and express
sion as a professional could possibly
have been. Albert Knox as Jimmy,
Joe Wadsworth as Anthony" and
John Strobe as "The Major" divide
first honors among the male members
Of the cast. Albert Knox displayed an
ease behind the foctlights unusual in
amateurs while Joe Wadsworth took
his very hard part easily. Clarice Day
was a charming young miss and
Georgia Simons, although on the stage
but once, was all her part demanded
Of her Milton Russell made but few
appearances but took well to the
-go-lucky part he delineated
William Rice and Thomas Pickett as
house men were quite as stiff as their
parts would require and handled
themselves we'll.
Everyone who had anything to dc
with the presentation of this class
play Is to be heartily congratulated
1t was really success and it requires
no stretching of the truth to say that
and mean it.
The High School orchestra helped
make the evenin pleasant by its
music.
