RELIEF IN SIGHT

If a settlement OF the Irish ques
tion is made that will be reasonably
satisfactory to both sides, it will be
one great relief not only to them
but to the people of the United
States as well.
Our country to-day is practically
divided into two camps on the sub
ject-a majority of ardent cham
pions of the Irish cause, and a ma
jority who believe in letting coun-
tries on the other side of the water
manage their own affairs without in
reference from us.
1t is a source of uneasiness TO many
professional politicians, who want 70
keep in the good graces of their
Irish constituents, yet fear to alien
ate the support of those in the other
camp. 1t keeps them wiggling and
squirming in an attempt to say
something and yet at the same time
say nothing.
We have had one great division
of principle in this country. We do
not want another.
The Irish question cannot be
amicably adjusted any too soon 10

Typhoid fever is one of the coun-
try's great plaques. 1t does not
cause as many deaths as some other
diseases, but it produces a long and
wasting illness that proves exceed
ingly costly, and the number of ia
talities is large. And it is princi-
pally rural disease. Cities that
have good water supplies are not
not likely to get it, unless through
milk taken from some uncleanly
farmer. But the country home TAX
ing water from a polluted we'll is
the favorite haunt of the typhoid
germ.
The agricultural colleges, health
departments and other sources of
scientific information are taking
special pains to show the country
people how they can install septic
tanks that will remove this peril.
Better have your physician examine
your water conditions, and if he
raises any question, take steps to put
in septic tank.

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT FOR
JULY, 1921.

Estimates placing Kentucky's 1921
tobacco at approximately 1895, 00G
acres, compared to $4,000 acres
last year Cor 800 decrease) and thu
wheat crop at 6,764,000 bushels
compared to 100000 bushels last
years, are the features of the July
crop report for Kentucky issued
at Louisville and Frankfort by the
United States Bureau of Markets
and Crop Estimates in cooperation
with State Commissioner of Agricul-
ture w. c. Hanna. This is a de-
crease of $4,000 bushels for the
June LIST estimate of the Kentucky
wheat crop, due chiefly to poor fill
ing of heads in many sections, even
though the acreage was nearly 10
per cent. more than in 1920.
This months preliminary estimate
of the acreage of corn indicates \
crop of about 92,791,000 bushels,
compared to 100, 1000 bushels last
year, while oats are estimated at
only 6,565,000 bushels, compared to
S,225,OOO bushels last year. Many
fields of oats in various parts OF the
State were so short they had to be
cut with a mower or be pastured.
RYE is estimated at 100000 bushels
compared to 100000 bushels last
year: barley 100000 bushels, COM
pared to $4,000 bushels last year;
Irish potatoes 4,458,000 bushels,
compared to 6,435,000 bushels last
year, and sweet potatoes 1897, 900
bushels, compared to 100000
bushels last year.
All these 1921 estimates are sub
iect to revision downward or up
ward as the season progresses, de-
pending on favorable or unfavorablc
weather and other conditions here
after. These tobacco and corn esti-
mates are the first of this season,
and as planting of both crops was
continued very late this year such
estimates may be subject to consid-
cradle change either upward or down.

Hay has been a short crop lin
yield per acre) in most counties,
though some places it is good. Much
of it is very weedy, especially with
white-top, the average condition If
all hay being only 6S per cent.
Pastures generally are only fair.
Fruit is irregular, but generally a
very short crop. Apples are only
about Is per cent. of a full crop, but
in the Henderson commercial dis
trict they are half crop or better.
Peaches and pears are only 8 per
cent. of a full crop. Melons gener-
ally are in fair condition, though
late.
Blue grass seed and hemp are
short crops in Kentucky this year,
though some hemp was planted in
place of tobacco. The States blue
grass seed crop is estimated at only
1880 bushels in chaff, compared
to 100000 bushels last year. Hemp
is estimated at about 5000 acres.

Illinois Railroad, walked into a
newspaper office in Evansville, Indi-
ana, and with a donation of SIS start
ed a fun for the relief of Alvin
York, Tennessee mountaineer and
soldier in the World War, who is
said to to be in danger of losing his
farm because he is not able to pay a
mortgage of $12,500.
The fund he started will be
known as "Help-a-Hero Fund" and
Thomas believes that people in many
States will subscribe when they learn
of it.
York is the man, who, in a single
handed engagement killed twenty
five German soldiers, cautured thir-
ty-five machine guns and captured
1872 German prosiners and marched
them into camp. He has refused to
go on the stage, although he has
received many offers. 1t is said that
during the past year his crops have
been bad.
Thomas, in starting the fund,
said:
