KENTUCKY CROPS IN BAD CONDITION Drought Practically Destroys To bacco and Corn, With More Serious Losses in Prospect. L p Bv th- A.xwi.tcd Pr-»*. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. July 21.—While agricultural experts have been stumping the country preaching the doctrine of lower production as the cure for farm l ills. Kentucky farmers have been won-1 dering if they will have any crops at all this year. A week ago the State Department of j \ Agriculture estimated that half of the ; State s tobacco and corn crops were al- ! ready gone beyond recall because of drought and that the hay crop was as I : seriously damaged. The department predicted that as the drought continued so would the situation become more grievous. Today officials of the College of Agri culture, not given to bearish statements, confirmed the State department's esti mate, and said that since there had > been no rain sines it was Issued condi- i j tions were necessarily worse. I Repeated predictions of local thunder- ! | showers made by Government Weather I i Bureaus give little solace to the farmers i j for the showers afford but slight relief , in the present situation. Rainfall this Bpring and Summer has been only half : of normal, and continuous rain or a hard one Ls the only hope for crops. Pasture lands have dried up. making j it necessary to buy commercial feeds for cattle, and the present heat wave and a j previous one dried up streams and ponds j so that farmers are compelled to carry water for long distances to their stock. Hens in lowa contributed about $80,000,000 to the State’s agricultural : income in 1929. according to the State Department of Agriculture. * i“ F F P. ' Crowd, go %SO/r m!
