RESERVE WATER SYS-

The municipal water department has
Just completed the installation of an

Cured here the past several summers
during the seasonsof irrigation of gar
dens and lawns. By the construction
ofsa reservoir, which has a capacity of
$50, 600 gallons, just below an old res
ervoir, which holds $50. 600 gallons, the
city is also given reserve for fighting
fires. The pump, operated by a so
horsepower motor, will divert water to
any section of the city. The supply
from the reserve system can be placed
in a reservoir in the Heights section Of
the city and insure supply of water
there for fire fighting in case of inter-
ruption in service from fuckers
Spring, seven miles southwest of the
city.
A spring just above the old reservoir,
which formerly supplied the lower city
with water, has been fully developed
and now furnishes a daily flow of 300,
600 gallons. The water department
has also developed large spring which
flows from under the open air auditori-
um of Chautauqua park, securing 200,-
900 gallons daily.
The work of the water department
the past summer has included a thor
ough drainage system that eliminates
from the storage basins all surface
water. Repeated tests have been
made of the water of the reserve eys-
TEN, and it has been ascertained that
| it is pure. In connection with the de-
velopment of the new spring, the wa
ter department has constructed a new
permanent stage at the open air the
atre. While the new structure is esti-
mated at worth of 81, 200, it was built
at cost of only $500 through the sal
wage of materials that would otherwise
have proven worthless. The original
estimate of the new improvements was
placed at $4,000. The cost was cut,
it is said, by effecting the work by
hired crews instead of awarding it to
contract. w. T. Price, superintendent
of the city water department, had
charge of planning the work and carry
ing it out.

SEED RYE and Shelled CORN R M H s6N &
CROP CONDITIONS FROM
over STATE REPORTED
Weather and Crop Report For Past
Week Shows That Drouth Extends
Over the Entire Northern Section.

Summary of weather and crop con-
ditions in Kentucky for the week end
ing Tuesday, August 10, 1922, follows:
The first half of the week was cool,
but temperatures rose above normal
toward the end. Only a few local
showers occurred. Drought became
intensified in the northeastern and
extreme western counties, and is
spreading into the central district. The
need for rain is most acute in the
north half of the state. In the west
central counties there has been prac-
tically no rain for two weeks, while
the region west OF tho lower Cumber-
land has received no rain for more
than three weeks. In the dry district,
which now includes about half OF the
state, the growth of late corn and to-
bacco is being retarded and the condi-
ton of these crops is critical. Unless
good rains come soon, the yields will
be materially reduced. In the south
ern half of the state, also in a narrow
belt along the Ohio River extending
from Hancock to Boone county, early
corn and tobacco made good progress
and are generally in good condition.
Early corn will mature without fur
Their rain, but early tobacco has not
spread we'll and would be helped by
rains except where 1t is badly fired"
Very little hurley tobacco has been cut
in localities where moisture has been
sufficient to keep 1t growing, but pre-
mature cutting Of "fired" tobacco is
proceeding in the dry areas. Cutting
is we'll started in the dark" district,
and the weather has been decidedly ia
vorable for air curing. Hill pastures
are becoming short generally. and in
the dry districts they are practically
burned up. Alfalfa looks we'll, also
COW peas and clover, although need
ing rain. Gardens and late potatoes
are suffering for rain. Dry soil pre-
vented progress with fall blowing.
