An Island for Twelve.

Twelve young men, graduates OF
an engineering school in England.
have bought from the republic of
Ecuador an uninhabited island off the
cost of South America. They plan
to settle there as fruit growers and
cattle breeders. The island of their
inheritance had grown too crowded
and its opportunities too meager. so
they pooled their capital and pur-
chased a new one.
For hundreds of years large part
of the youth of England has gone out
to the colonies in search of fortune.
the army OF younger sons. Postwar
young men turn more frequently than
ever away from the home country.
High income taxes and lack of en-
ployment have combined to discour-
age them. These twelve are but a
handful among thousands, but they
have chosen a more picturesque way
than their fellows
Whether they succeed or not, they
are going to have good time. or
course they cannot set up their own
government but provided they do moth
Ing to disturb the citizens of Ecuador
or do not become ambitious to annex
the rest of South America, they will
have pretty free rein in organizing
and administering their microcosmic
society. 1t is not reported that they
are bringing any wives. nor are the
dimensions of the island revealed
If the island isn't large enough to
support an expansion in the popula-
tfon, their enterprise is doomed to
early failure.-New York Herald.

Wheat and Rye, Says Crop Report.

A summary OF weather and crop
conditions in Kentucky for the week
ending Tuesday, October 10, 1922, fol-
lows:
The first five days were unseason-
ably warm, but the week ended with
temperatures considerably below nor
NAL. Good showers, occurring gen.
orally over the state near the end OF
the week, caused improvement in pas
lures and insured termination OF
grain and alfalfa that have been sown
recently. Considerable wheat and bar
ley were sown during the week, but
most of it was done in corn stubble;
as the soil has continued too dry for
much progress with blowing. Germin-
alton has been unsatisfactory. some
grain dying soon after sprouting. Bet
ter results are now possible in seeding
and soil preparation; but consider
ably more rain is needed to thorough
" soften the ground, also for pastures,
clover, alfalfa, and for replenishing
,stosk water. Cutting late corn and
housing late tobacco is nearly fin
ished. Conditions have ben excep-
tionally favorable during the period Of
harvest for drying out the corn and
curing tobacco. AS q result corn will
be ready to crib earlier than usual,
and the color and quality of tobacco
has been improved. Some late pota-
toes that are still green will be bene-
fitted by the rains; but the high tenn
perature OF the last ten days caused
premature drying Of the plants and a
lessening OF the yield. Considerable
sorghum is also in the field; other
wise crops are safe from frost injury
