The Estill County Bonds

The road bond Issue in Estlll
county is becoming quite inter
esting. Estill, like Powell is In
the mud, but a little worse.
Much money has been spent on
roads in Estill, but the miles of
road improved are very few. Es.
till needs the roads, and $240, 900,
the amount to be voted on, should
certainly get their roads propos-
ed to be built. Estill has here
tofore voted and is now paying
the 20 cents road tax. Should
the bonds be voted, this 20 cent
tax will retire the bonds with no
increased tax.

The condition of wheat and rye
in all the principal farming sec
tions of Kentucky is unusually
good; there are 10 per cent more
brood sows in the state than there
we're this time last year; and al.
though the labor supply still is 5
per cent below normal the de-
mand for hired farm labor is 10
per cent below normal, according
to the April crop and live stock
report for Kentucky issued by
the United States Bureau of Mar.
kets and Crop Estimat in CO
operation with State Commits
siouer of Agriculture w. G, Han

Kentucky April ! was "a percent
of normal compared to 80 per.
cent April |, 1921, and an aver.
age of 50 per cent April l for the
last ten years. Rye condition in
this State was 93 percent April /
compared 10 % percent April |

REPORTED GRAIN DAMAGE
CAUSES WHEAT ADVANCE

CHICAGO. June 24.-Excessive heat
and deficient moisture, with danger of
premature rfpening and shrunken yield,
have had much to- do this week with
making wheat go higher In price. A
rise Of ~ to 3ss for wheat as COM
pared with a week ago was shown this
up 1A to IA and oats 1ssa11a to az
The weeks net change in provisions
varied from II decline 70 10 gain.
Misgivtngs as to the quality and
amount of the winter wheat crop In
creased from day to day as tempera-
came more widespread as to lack Of
rain. Nebraska and South Dakota con-
ditions were In particular a source Of
apprehension.
Gossip that threshing returns would
prove disappointing attracted much no.
suit Of farm organization control the
usual harvest pressure to sell might be
much diminished this season.
Discoveries of black rust in Mime
sofa and elsewhere in the spring crop
belt contributed somewhat to strength
were apparently disposed to await rust
developments a week hence before be-
coming fiurried on that score. Buying
force in the market slackened as the
week drew to a close, and profit king
sales on the part Of holders grew in
volume.
Active demand for corn and oats
came into play, based largely on ikeli-
hood that if dry weather continued the
corn crop would suffer. Curtailment Of
the oats crop was in many quarters
taken to be already beyond doubt.
Seasonable quiet prevailed in the pro-
vision pit, with no decided trend Of
prices

WEEKS COTTON MARKET
DROPS on HEAVY SELLING

NEW FORK. Jun~ 24.-An early
week advance ON reports OF uAsatfted
weather conditions tn the south and
continuation Of the recent buying
movement carried the price Of octo-
Der contracts here up to 22-95, or eI-
actly cents per pound aSove the Tow
level touched on the publication OF
the ofdcial end-May condition report.
Trade interests were said to be good
buyers to dx prices on call cotton or to
secure cover against prospective re-
qutrements, but the demand tapered
level and reports Of improper crop con-
ditions led to heavy general realiztng
or liquidation later In the week. For
time this was quite readily alb
sorbed on moderate declines owing to
the execution of scale-down buying
orders for the trade or covering by
recent sellers, but the selling became
more active and general today, fore
ing the price of October of to 21.d8,
or 127 points below the high record
of last Tuesday
Some small lots of certfficated cot
ton have been shipped out of the
local stock since the beginning of the
month, and there have been runors
Of larger clearances pending, but the
disposition to even-up long commit
ments after the early week advance
probably was increased by uncertain
ty regarding possible July notices
early next week.
There also has been more or less
uncertainty as to the probable show
ing of the next government report,
which is scheduled fer publication
July 3.
There has been little comment on
reports from the cotton goods mar
ket. Sales of cloths In the FAN river
market for the week were estimated
at 100000 pieces, with prices general
