KENTUCKY CROP REPORT FOR
SEPTEMBER.

Kentucky's crop prospects now in
dictate the production of corn crop
of only about 91,991,OOO bushels,
compared to 100,650,000 bushels in
1920, and a tobacco crop of only
i341, 738,0O0 pounds, compared to
467, 100000 pounds last year, accord
ing to the September crop report issu-
ed at Louisville and Frankfort, by
the United States Bureau of Markets
and Crop Estimates, in co-opera-
ton with State Commissioner of Ag-
riculture w. c. Hanna.
Oats are estimated at 6,782,0OO
bushels, compared to 8,225,0O0 BUSH
els produced last year; potatoes g.
741, 900 bushels, compared to 6,435,-
600 bushels last year; sweet pota-
toes 1,727,000 bushels, compared to
,1,S90,000 bushels; barley 100000
bushels, compared to 10000; total
apples 1,172,000 bushels, compared
to 5,780,000; commercial apples,
only $4,000 barrels (of 8 bushels
each) compared to 100000 barrels
last year; peaches 10000 bushels
compared to 100000 bushels last
year; pears $4,000 bushels, compar-
ed to 30S,O00 bushels last year, and

compared to 4,845,000 gallons las,
year.
These forecasts are subject to re-
vision upward or downward later in
the season, depending on favorable
or unfavorable conditions.
The recent favorable weather has
had tendency to increase the ear
lier estimates of tobacco production
in Kentucky. The States total to-
bacco acreage is about 80 per cent
less than last year, and about 80
per cent less than in 1919. The
United States total tobacco crop now
is estimated to be only about 943,-

O64,0O00 pounds produced last year.
Hogs on hand for fattening in Ken
lucky are 5 per cent less than the
number on hand for fattening Sep
TENDER 1, 1920. In the United States
there now are IL per cent. fewer
hogs for fattening than on Septem-
Der 1, 1920.
Condition of minor crops in Ken

OPTIMISM.

The Optimist is a handy fellow
with a smile. He spreads it around
regardless. And it catches and,
like when one casts a stone into a
pool, the waves recede in circles I'M
til they are Que of sight. So one
smile breeds another and they go on
and on until they buck up against
the rocky shore of a pessimist, and
there they stop.
Optimism is an asset in humans
of commerce or of contentment, or
both. Be one. He takes the most
hopeful view, looks on the brightest
side. He says that whatever occurs
is right and good. His opposite, the
pessimist, is a moving Mr.. Gloom,
a crouch whose personality resents
the rain, the sunshine, the clouds and
the cold Nothing suits.
But everything is fine to the op-
timist. The rain that dampens the
pessimist's ardor puts life into vege-
tation. The sun that dazzles the
eyes of the pessimist is gift of God
to the optimist. And he laughs and
smiles his way through the world,
communicating the kindly trait IF
optimism to all with whom he comes
in contact.
Optimism is swell disease and the
world ought to have more of it,

 LECTURINC MEMBERS

LONDON, June (by Associated Press) ).-Lady Astor received a re- buke from the speaker of the house of commons the other day.

NEW AUTO LUBRICANT
BRINGS FINE RESULTS

Phenomenal results in automobile
fabrication are now being achieved
through the untiring efforts of DIR. f.
G. Acheson world famous for his ac-
complishments with the electric furnace
and now reaping additional laurels from
the happy combination of "defiocculated"
graphite and oil. lubricant known as
"oildag."
Oildag Is an oil which has been
charged with defiocculated graphite. The
particles of defoccuiated graphite being
SO small and having been scientifically
treated, remain In suspension in the oil
indefinitely. The graphold surface.
which Is practically frictionless. Is
formed by the amaigamation OF de-
hocculated graphite and the metal with
which It comes in contact. The fact that
an automobile can be run for a con-
siderable distance without general ting
excess heat or without injury to the
bearing surface. pistons and cylinder
walls is entirely due to the graphoid
surface. as has been proved time and
again. II one will stop for a moment
and consider what this really means in
the way OF saving In repair bills and
the consequent reduction in the cost of
upkeep and operation one will readily
see that It is really revolutionary dis
covery.
