KENTUCKY CROP REPORT

The condition of wheat and rye in
all the principal farming sections of
Kentucky is unusually good; there
are per cent fewer brood sows in
the State than there were this time
last year; and altho the labor supply
is only s per cent below normal the
demand for farm labor is 1S per-
cent below normal, according to the
April crop and livestock report for
Kentucky issued today by the Unit
ed States Bureau of Crop Estimates
in cooperation with State Commits
sioner of Agriculture W. c. Hanna.
The condition of whe1t in Kentucky
April list, is given as 81 per cent OF
normal c6,nps red to 81 per cent April
I, 1920, and an average condition OF
"a per cent April l during the last
10 years. Rye condition in this
State is 95 this month compared to
IA per cent April 1 last year and an
average condition of 81 per cent
April 1 for the last 10 years.
The acreage of wheat sowed IN
Kentucky last fall was approximately
the same as that sowed in 1919 (625,-
900 acres) but rye was $4,000 acres
compared to $4,000 acres sowed in
1919. The mild weather of this win
ter and spring has been very favor
able for small grains in all parts or
the State except in some parts OF the
southeastern mountain countries.
Farm labor is 10 per cent more
plentiful than it was this time last
year, but still only 92 per cent OF
normal supply, as many farmers can
not afford to pay the wages demand
ed by laborers, and farmers report
thew have cut their demands for la
Dor II per cent below last years de-
mands and IS per cent below normal.
This is due to the general slump in
prices of farm products, particularly
tobacco. Farmers say in their re-
ports that unsatisfactory prices for
farm products and the high prices
nersistently demanded for manu-
featured goods are tending to reduce
farm production.
UNITED STATES
Reports for the United States as a
whole indicate winter wheat condi-
ton is 81 per cent of normal COM
pared to 1855 per cent April 1, 1920
and an average of S3.6 per cent April
for the last 10 years. This indi-
Gates a probable total production OF
about 621, 100000 bushels of winter
wheat compared to 577,765'ooo
bushels last year, and 72s,5O3,OoO
bushels in 1919. The United States
rye crop now shows condition OF
9O.5 per cent compared to S6.S per-
cent April 1, 1920, and SS.4 per cent
average on April for the last 10
years. This condition of rye fore
casts a production of about $4,000
900 bushels this year compared 10
,S1s, 900 bushels last year, $500
900 bushels in 1919, and an average
of 5s,9SS,OOO bushels during the .
years preceding 1919. Brood sows in
the United States as a whole are 2'z
per cent fewer than on April 1918
while the labor supply is As per ce
less than normal and the farmers
demands for labor 1875 per cent less
than normal.

Put Down Eggs For Winter Whii'
The Prices are Low.

There is nothing mysterious in the
business of egg preserving, and no
great labor. Eggs are comparative
ly cheap this spring, a condition
which should encourage thrifty
housewives to put down a supply Tor
use next winter when prices VIII
rise sga'n.
Rules for keeping eggs in water
glass are given by the United States
Department of Agriculture. To be
preserved properly eggs should be put
into water glass when absolutely
fresh. The eggs should be Clean but
a. is better not to wash them. Eggs
with dirty shells can be used for i'm
mediate consumption and the clean
axgs be preserved. Cracked eggs or
those with thin or weak shells, should
never be used for preservation. The
cracked eggs will spoil and ruin the
other eggs in the jar also.

auart from the druggist or poultry

cool. Earthenware crooks or Jars
are the best containers, since they
have a glazed surface, and are not
subject to chemical action from the
solution. The crooks or cans should
be scalded for perfect cleanliness and
allowed to cool before they are used.
A 6-gallon container will hold Is
dozen eggs and will require about %
pints of solution. Too large contain
ers are not desirable, since they in
crease the liability of breaking some
of the eggs. Half fill the container
with the water glass solution, put the
eggs in It and add more from day to
day as they are obtained, until the
container Is filled. Be sure the eggs
are covered with about 2 inches OF
water-glass solution. Cover the con-
tainer and place it in a cool place,
where it will not have to be moved.
Use wax papers under the cover to

there seems to be any danger of

Remove the eggs from the solution

in clean, cold water. Before boiling
such eggs prick a tiny hole in the

eggs age the white becomes thinner
