SEPTEMBER CROP REPORT

Washington, Sept. 12-The corn
crop, which suffered loss of about
81 100000 bushels in prospective
production in July, made a gain OF
154,OOO,OOO bushels during August
over the forecast last month, the in
dicated production from the Septem-
Der / condition of the crop being g.
.1S6, 100000 bushels.
The 1921 corn crop as forecast is
only 100000 bushels less than the
crop of last year which broke all re-
cords and is 100000 bushels
above the five year average. The
improvement made during August
was ascribed by the department to
favorable temperatures and rains
which had been lacking turnout a
good portion of the season.
The spring wheat prospects declin-
ed 100000 since the August fore
cast, due largely to heat and drought
The oats crop on the basis of the
figures announced today was a short
one, 4S6,OOO,0OO bushels less than
last year and 343, 900, 900 bushels be-
low the five year average.
The condition on September l and
forecast Of production for Kentucky
corn was: Condition 80 and produc-
tion 9l,99O,OOO. This is 1S,SS1,OOO
bushels over the August forecast, but
6,G60,000 bushels under the 1920
production.
Preliminary estimates of this
years production of winter wheat and
hay and forecasts for other crops
based on their condition on septem-

WILL FLY KAISER'S FLAG

Berlin, Sept. S.-The first German
passenger steamer under the German
flag will sail from Hamburg for New
York on Sept. Is. AS the imperial
flag remains the colors for the Ger
man merchant marine, the former
kaiser's banner will pass the Statue
of Liberty for the first time since
early in the year.
Bayern is the name of the ship that
will sail. She belongs to the Ham
burg-American Line, and is the first
of six ships to sail between the two
ports, three of them under the Ger
man flag and three under the Stars
and Stripes. This is the arrange
ment between the Hamburg-American

PRESIDENT URGES LOCAL
GOVERNMENT BE EXTENDED

Chapel Hill, n. c., Sept. 1.-THE
tendency to rely on the federal gov.
eminent for performance of functions
rightfully belonging to local admins
trative units is deplored by Presi-
dent Harding in a letter in connec-
tion with the conference on town and
county administration to be held next
week at the University of North Caro-
lima.
The President i'm his letter. which
was made public today by Dr. Howard
w. Odium, director of school of pub
lie welfare of the University of North
Carolina, says:
MY attention has been called TO
regional conference OIL local govern
ment. which you are about to hold Cor
broad consideration of the social, in
dustrial and technical problems OF
local government.
ut is a pleasure to record my
hearty Endorsement of the efforts you
are making, and to emphasize the
need which i believe exists for N
earnest and continuous presentation
of these subjects to the people thru
out the country. The problms are
very difficult, accentuated by the
completely of conditions which have
arisen during and following the war.
There has been an inevitable teudcn-
cy. because of the overwhelmingly inn
portant work which confronted the
government TO rely unduly
upon il for performance of many
functions which can only be discharg-
ed properly by local administrative
entities. This together with the fur
Their fact that our country's rapid
growth and the consequent difficulty
Of adequately planning local govern
mental machineries has resulted in

organisms which great

corrected whenever the attention of
the people is fully aroused and the ma
tional genius for administration is eff

Great Saving In Phosphate Possible
By New Process

The United States owns the richest
and most extensive phosphate fields
in the world. Heretofore heavy an
nual wastes of valuable phosphate
material have occurred during the
mining and manufacturing processes.
A new method of controlling these
losses devised by the United States
Department of Agriculture consists
in mixing the "run-of-mine" phos-
phate with sand and coke and sm,lt-
ing the mass in an electric or fuel
fed furnace. In this process, the
phosphoric acid is driven off as a
fume and may be readily collected in
concentrated form. Millions of tons
of phosphates previously wasted will
be saved potentially as a result of the
perfection of this new reclamation
system.

Rotation Only Practical Cure Of Pea
Sick Land.

Where the crop of peas grown for
canning or truck market purposes
the past season has shown root rot,
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture advises planning for a long
rotation of other crops, beginning
with the next season, to rid the soil
OF the disease. A fouT-year rotation
is sometimes effective, but cases have
been met. both in the East and in the
Central States, where even a longer
rotation has proved insufficient.
Investigations by the department
during the past three years have
shown that root rot of peas is present
in all of the larger pea-growing areas
east Of the Mississippi. ana TO some
extent in Montana and U-aa. Tho
disease lives in the soil and becomes
more destructive each year peas are
grown on infested land, soon redCc-
ing the crop TO such an extent aa 70

STEAL ELEVEN STILLS
FROM PROHI OFFICERS

Following tips given them, three
revenue officers in nearby county in
western Kentucky set out on the trail
of twelve stills in various sections of
the county one day last week. Taking
the trail early in the morning they
soon located one of the stills and
found a quantity of mash in the max
ing. As the day heightened and it
grew eventime they had secured
eleven out of the possible twelve
moonshine apparatuses. Only one
remained to be discovered and desir-
Gus of having a perfect hunt they set
about to locate this one.
After following a battling trail for
some hours the location of the still
was finally made. Leaving their
wagon, loaded with the Illicit ma
chimes all three started after the last.
In few minutes the conquest was
made and they returned to their We
hicle. But on returning it was dis
covered that someone had in the
meantime confiscated nine of the
eleven stills in the wagon.-Padu;ah

Goldie BY Name, Gold Mine BY Ma
ture, Was Lame Cow.


Before a certain Missouri farmer
Joined the cow-testing association, re-
port specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, he owned
a good herd in which was an old
crippled COW named "Goldie." AT
that very time the owner was trying
to sell her for SIS. To his surprise
the Babcock test not only placed poor
old, crippled Goldie at the head of
the herd but at the head Of the whole
association. Her yearly production,
as shown by the records was $500
pounds of milk and 526 pounds of
butter fat, and her yearly earning ov-
er cost of feed was S267. Goldie be-
Ionged to a herd whose average year
ly butter-fat production was $50
pounds, yet she was almost so per
cent above the average OF the herd,
and more than 200 per cent superior
to the average dairy COW of this coun-
try. Among the cows on test in the
46S cowtesting associations are many
like Goldie. The true production re-
cords furnished by cow-testing asso-
Citations have prevented the sale of
a large number of unassuming but
fairly high producing COWS.

Colorado Ships Big Potato Crop IN
der Federal Grades.

Adoption of United States potato
grades in Colorado has increased the
amount of the crop marketed on this
basis by more than 100000 bu-
shells according to the August esti-
mate of the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, United States De-
nartment OF Agriculture, and raises
20 II the number of States that have
made the United States grades Off
cial. Although the use of the Fed
eral standards has been optional since
the days of the United States Food
Administration. they are now used Of
ficially for grading 80 per cent of the
total crop and unofficially for 80 TO
As per cent more.
Following the lead of other West
arn States, Colorado created at the
last session of the legislation divi-
sion of marketing and provided for
the inspection of fruit and vegetables
on the basis of State grades. The new
division started work in July, and
hearings were held in producing sec
tions thruout the State for the pur-
pose of establishing practical stan
dards that would be satisfactory to
the trade.

The same type of Indian corn oc-
ours in the West Indies, and there is
no question in the minds of scientists
but that there was a very early COM

and Norh Amrica. Not only corn but
beans, squashes. pumpkins, and to-

Shipping Associations are Successful
In Illinois.
The organization of shipping as
sociations has been successfully as
sisted by the county agents in ILL
nois. The work has proved popular
and advantageous to the farmers.
New associations were organized dur
ing the second quarter of this year,
ending June 80. in Henderson, Han
cock. Pike, Randolph, Marshal, Put
nam and Kendall Counties. The re-
suits shown by the shipping associa-
tion in Adams County are typical.
Sixty-two carloads of live stock were
sent to terminal markets during the
month of April. These shipments in
cluded 1857 hogs, 343 cattle, and %
sheep, belonging to $50 Adams Coun-
ty farmers. The total sale price for
this shipment was $4,000. This was
an increase of 5000 in sales value
over the same month last year.
The average price per hundred
weight this year was considerably
lower than last, and it was especially
gratifying that this gain in sales was
made by increasing the shipment to
sc more carloads than last year.
The Henry County Shipping Asso-
citation shipped altogether S3,4S2.-
O76.25 worth of live stock during the
year ending March 81. Last year the
total was 2,S59,163.42. The increase
in total sales indicates general salts
faction with the cooperative plan of
shipment.
