KENTUCKY CROP AND LAND
VALUE REPORT

Louisville. March 1.-THE March
crop report issued by tn Y. s. Bu-
reau Of Crop Estimates in coopera-
ton with State Commissioner Of Ag
riculture W. c. Hanna shows that
Kentucky farmers have on hand an
unusually large percentage Of last
wears crops Of corn and oats, and
that land values In Kentucky have
fallen sharply within the last year.
The reduction Of livestock feeding,
the mild winter and the decline Of
prices, with slow movement, are the
chief causes for this unusually large
percentage Of grain crops held over
by farmers.
OF last years Kentucky corn crop
80 percent Cor 80, 1926 900 bushels) was
still held by farmers. March 1, 1921.
compared to 36 percent Of the 1919
crop (or %, 700, 900 bushels) on farms
March |. 1920. About Is percent OF
Kentucky's 1920 wheat crop (or S42.-
900 bushels). was held on farms
March I, 1921. compared to IL per-
cent Of the 1919 crop (or 1,I3S,000
bushels) on farms March I. 1920. OF
the 1920 Kentucky oat crop farmers
held 36 percent (or 1861 900 bushels)
March I. 1921, compared TO 25 per-
cent Of the 1919 crop (2,475.000
bushels) on farms March I, 1920.
About 10 percent of Kentucky's 1920

pared to 20 percent OF the 1919 crop

Average land values. according to
reports from farmers and others
throughout Kentucky. have fallen
since March I. 1920. from $3.50
average for improved farm lands a
year ago, to $e500 average March
I, 1921, and from $1,000 average for
unimproved farm lands year ago to
$4,000 average March I, 1921. The
average value reported this spring
for poor plow land is $500 COM
pared to $4,000 a year ago; good
plow land $500 compared to $500
a year ago; and average Of all grades
Of plow land $500 compared to
$1,000 March I. 1920. As there have
been comparatively few sales during
the last several months these esti-
mated values are based partly on last
fall sales and prices at which farm
ers are now holding. as well as on
recent sales. these estimates being,
therefore. largely visionary.

The United States in her service
as mediator between Panama and
Costa Rica, in a contested boundary
line, has decided in favor Of Costa
Rica. The decision has greatly pleased
al Latin American countries, as it
would have been to the advantage Of
the United States to have decided
the matter in favor of Panama. It
was found, however, that Panama
had made an agreement about the
boundary, and it was decided that
she must live up to It. Such a de-
cision is highly creditable.

Of the Sioux mytholoay-which is
not inferior to the mythology Of any
people, Greeksand Scandinavians
not excepted.
Originally these holy men were in
no way class, but were quite like
the Bible character Melchizedek, the
simple personi6cation Of justice, and
their call to this role was an inner
persuasion with visions while in
vigils; and, in the earlier times, they
are said to have lived in voluntary
unselfsh poverty. But one hearing
the conversations Of old Indians is
convinced that these holy men, af-
ter gaining influence and power, did
become an arrogant class exacting
tribute and uncomfortable until they
lost influence and were supplanted
by the medicine-men in influence.
Yet this class continued down to
very recent times, and some ofthem
were we'll deserving and respected.
And this class know the mytholo-
gy in its best FORM.

In old times there were, among
the Sioux, certain men called holy
men, wicasa wakan. And such
men were we'll versed in the mythol.
ogy Of the Sioux, in which the peo-
pie were less we'll versed-or, more
correctly, there had come popular
version of the old mythology, some
what different from that of the holy
men, who were, really, the priests.
And, with two lines of similar myth
ology among Sioux, az with several
other peoples, varieties in growth, it
is pedantic to assume, as such priests
did and some writer's do, that one
such line is the standard and the
other perverted. Such varieties from
q common source arise with variant
classes in group as we'll as with
the division and split of a group.
These holy men-until very mod
ern times quite distinct from the 40
called medicine. men, pejuta wicasa.
