Kentucky Crop Report For Novem'
Der, 1921

Kentucky's 1921 total production
of tobacco of all types is estimated
at 80 percent less than in 1920, and
the states corn crop this year Is
percent less than last year, in the
November crop report issued today
at Louisville and Frankfort by H..
F. Bryant, Kentucky statlstician for
the U. s. Bureau OF Markets & Crop
Estimates, in cooperation with
State Commissioner of Agriculture
w. C. Hanna. This years total to-
baceo crop of all types in Kentucky
l. 327 100000 pounds compared to
467, 500 900 pounds last year. Both
hurley and dark types show a sharp
decrease in acreage. The average
yield per acre this year is $50
pounds compared to a lo-year aver
age OF s5S pounds per acre.
The states corn crop this year is
estimated at s5.S25.000 bus. COM
pared to 100 $4,000 bus. last year.
while this years Irish potato crop is
estimated at 1850 900 bus. or SO

other crops reported tor Kentucky
are: sweet potatoes 1900, 900 bus.
apples 72s.000 bus; pears 1900
bus; clover seed $4,000 bus; and
sorghum strip 1850. 900 gallons.
Last year Kentucky's production Of
these crops was sweet potatoes l.

pears 5000 bus; clover seed ST.
900 bus: and sorghum strip 4,s45,-
900 gallons.
The decrease IN tobacco produce
ton in Kentucky from 1920 is due
chiefly to decreased acreage. Quality
of tobacco in Kentucky is reported
as "a percent compared to so per-
cent last year. The United States
tobacco crop this season is estimated
at 1.020,s74,000 bus. compared to
1908 ,064, 900 pounds last year, a
decrease Of about 32 per cent.
1t Is estimated that approximate
ly percent of Kentucky's acreage
Of corn was put into silos this sea-
son, the average yield per acre be-
ing only about 6 tons. Some farm
ers report corn as being chaffy and
some also report damage due to
lmolding in the shock. Only "a per-
cent of this years crop in Kentucky
is reported as being mercbantable,
compared to an average of 81 per-
cent usually merchantable. Farmers
also report 9 percent of last years
Kentucky corn crop still on farms.
The average yield per acre this year
in Kentucky is reported by farmers
as 25.6 bus. per acre compared to
sos bus. per acre last year and a
1O-year average of 27.9 bus.

Wheat Growing Contest Is on In
Graves County

IN order to stimulate the produc-
ton of bigger yields of wheat in
all parts of the county, Graves coun-
ty millers. bankers and local farm
ers' organizations cooperating with
County Agent B. H. Mitchell have
donated >estal of FIVE barrels of
-four and $50 in cash to be awarded
as prizes in a wheat growing con-
test which was started this fall.
The farmer growing and deliver
ing the largest amount of wheat will
receive the five barrels of -four. The
farmers who produce the most bush
els of wheat an acre on five acres or
more will receive $500. A similar
prize will be given to the farmer
who produces wheat at the least
cost bushel on Eve acres or more.

New Records Anticipated In Club
Enrolment Week

With practically all persons and
concerns interested in the welfare
of Kentucky farm boys and girls en-
listed in cooperation indications
are that close to 10000 of these
youngsters will be enrolled in their
county junior agricultural clubs
during Junior Club Enrolment
Week designated in a proclamation
by Governor Morrow to be held
from Nov. IA to 10, according to C.
w. Buckler, state leader Of junior
agricultural club work from the
College of Agriculture. Many coun-
ty and home demonstration agents
already have reported that the en-
rollment in their counties will ex-
coed that of last year when a total
of 1000 Kentucky boys and girls
were enrolled in junior agricultural
clubs. The enrolment for this year
Is expected to exceed that of last
year, mark of 10000 having been
set.
Club work has become an import
ant means of training the future
farmers and homemakers of the
State, according to officials of the
college, with the result that last
years enrolment of children in this
phase of agricultural extension work
was an enormous increase over that
Of the preceding year. Efforts to
further increase the enrolment this
year are a part of the Plan to make
junior agricultural club work even
more effective in lettering the
farms and homes of the State, Mr..
Buckler said.
During the week Of Nov. IA to 10
county and home demonstration ag-
ents assisted by interested persons
in their county will carry on an in
tensive drive to bring as many boys
and girls as possible into the junior
agricultural club work. The young
sters will be enrolled in different
projects, practically all phases of
farm and home work having been
included in the program of projects
provided for the junior farm men
and women.

Sanitary Equipment Is Lacking II
Farm Homes

That Kentucky farm homes are
seriously in need of sanitary equip
ment in the form Of running water,
ine<br Tonets. bathrooms and cleo
~tfic and gas lights is shown by early
reports received in an investigation
being conducted by the engineering
section of the College of Agriculture
to determine the number of homes
which have such improvements.
Less than three per cent of the farm
homes of the State have any of the
sanitary and modern equipment
mentioned, according to the reports
received from various county agri-
cultural agents.
Conditions in counties of the State
vary. some having large percent
age of homes with such equipment
and others having practically none.
The reports have idicated that in all
counties there is need for more
aou;nment which makes the farm a
better and more sanitary place to
live Mr.. Kelley said. One county
agent reported that not a single
farm home in his county contained
any sanitary equipment.
plans are being made by the farm
section of the college to
assist farmers with the problem OF
- wing their farm homes more con-
uan,ant and sanitary, according TO
Mr. Kelley. Arrangements are be-
inc made to give suggestions and
help to all those interested VINO

II, nCerSon Fn n'rr Starts Important
Fertility Test

TtTtiiity iNSt
D. X. Stimson, Henderson coun-
ty farmer who is cooperating with
County Agent d. w. Martin and the
extension division of the College Of
Agriculture has just started a feri-
'lizer demonstration on his farm
which is expected to answer many
important questions of soil fertility
for farmers of that community, ac-
cording to a report from the county.
Mr.. Stimson will use different plots
and make separate and combined
tests OF acid phosphate at the rate
of 200 to 400 pounds an acre, rock
phosphate at the rate of 1000 to
1000 pounds an acre, limestone at
the rate of one to two tons an acre
and farm manure at the rate of five

Waste OF Manure

WaS0 vi ManurO
Leaching. heating. fire fanging
and the failure of farmers to spread
the material as soon as possible re-
suits in an annual loss of approx
mately three-fourths of the farm
manure produced In Kentucky, &C.
cording to R. e. Stephenson, soils
and crops specialist at the College
Of Agriculture. Not more than one
fourth or about 100000 tons Of
the manure produced is dropped in
stalls or otherwise saved so that 1t
can be hauled and spread on the
land where 1t is most needed, ac-
cording to the specialist. However,
large amount is dropped on pas
lures and in the open field where
cattle are fed and is therefore not
complete loss although it is =, not
used as efficiently as 1t might be.
More careful attention to the prop
err care of this important farm
fertilizer affords farmers of the
State a splendid opportunity for in
creasing their profits, according to
Mr.. Stephenson.
The greatest manure loss results
from the fact that few farmers make
sufficient effort to save the material
ard spread it on the fields where
crops are produced. Large amounts
of it are allowed to accumulate
around the barnyard and straw
stack and in other places. Since
the most efficient place to- save the
manure is on a field which is pro-
ducing a crop best results will be
obtained by hauling and spreading
it as often as possible. When ma
nure cannot be spread as rapidly as
it accumulates a specially construct
ed manure pit or shed will be found
helpful in conserving the plant food
which it contains.
Teaching is another one of the
channels through which farm ma
nure is wasted, much of the mater
ial becoming inferior in quality be-
cause of the loss of liquid matter.
This liquid constitutes one-half the
value of the manure and in order
to properly save it farmers should
prepare tight floors of clay or con-
crete and then use large amounts of
bedding. When stock are loose in
the stall some of the bedding will
be consumed as feed and the re-
mainder tramped into the manure
to absorb the liquid portion.
Heating or fire-fanging which re-
suits when manure is piled in loose
heaps also results in losses of the |
farm fertilizer. The heated manure |
gives off ammonia which carries
with it large amounts of valuable
nitrogen. This loss may be pre-
vented by allowing the stock 20
ramp the manure 80 that it will be
and by keeping II moist
rntil it is spread o. the fieij.

Olympic Delegate
a Boston Man

Capt. Joseph 3. Maccabe of East
Boston has been chosen one of the
committee of three who will represent
United States at the meeting of the
Olympic body at Lucerne, Switzer-
land, early next month. The others
are Gustavus T. Kirby and Fred w.
Ruben, president and secretary re-
spectively of the American Olympic
Committee.
The local man is undecided about
making the trip, but announced that
he would like to go because of some
of the things which were not definite
ly decided at the games held last
summer at Antwerp.
The only thing" Capt. Maccabe
says, that may cause me not to go
is the heavy expense of such a trip.
One of the things 1 would like to
straighten out is the awarding of
second place in the tug of war. The
Army team which represented the
United States only pulled once, being
defeated by the London police, and on
the date set for the pull-off by Unit
ed States, Belgium and Holland, only
the American entry appeared. 1t was
present on two days, yet the awarding
Of second place was never made.
IF tug of-war is to be a regular
event, the rules should be more ex-
plicit. They should be understood by
all nations, and I see no reason why
our soldiers who always We're ready
to pull with the other defeated teams
should not have been given second
prize.
There are other things to be set
tied. and if I can find the time and
money to make the voyage, l will
make a plea for better management
of the games, and have the duly au-
thorized representatives of each coun-
try have an equal say, whether they
are concerned or not.
1T will be a few days before I will
settle definitely as to whether I will
make the trip. Ruben is to sail. on
Wednesday and l understand that
Pres. Kirby will be over there in am
pie time, after he has arranged with
the advisory committee of the Inter
collegiate A. a. A. A. the holding OF
