Admitted into the Union in 1792, Kentucky is the 15th state and the first state west of the Appalachian Mountains. It is known as the "Bluegrass State" because of the blue blossoms of the lush grass around Lexington. Kentucky is one of the border states that lie between the North and the South. Rich tobacco fields and champion race horses have long been symbols of Kentucky. Today, Kentucky is associated with coal mines, horse farms ,and racing. Each May, huge crowds in Louisville thrill to the excitement of the Kentucky Derby horse race, America's most prestigious horse race. Visitors to Kentucky may choose from many scenic attractions, recreational facilities and historic sites.

Extractions: br>Kentucky stretches from Virginia to Missouri, a geographic and historic bridge in the westward flow of American settlement. The state can be divided into four sections: the Bluegrass, the south central cave country, the eastern mountains, and the western lakes. Each differs drastically in geography, culture, and economics. A circular area in the north-central portion of the state, the Lexington plain is bluegrass country, home of great horses and gentlemen farmers. A predominantly rural nature has remained even though a patina of industry has been imposed, thanks to generous tax laws that have added industrial muscle to almost every major community. The great dams of the Tennessee Valley Authority have harnessed floods, generated cheap power, lured chemical plants, and created new vacation resources. More than 450 million pounds of burley and dark tobacco are typically grown in Kentucky each year. This principal crop is followed by corn, soybeans, and wheat. Cattle, hogs, sheep, and poultry round out the farm family. Not all of Kentucky's corn is served on the cob; much of it winds up as bourbon whiskey, respected and treasured in much of the world. Kentucky is a major mining state as well, with rich deposits of bituminous coal, petroleum, natural gas, fluorspar, natural cement, and clay. Tobacco and food products, electronic equipment, transportation equipment, chemicals, and machinery are the principal factory products.

Extractions: Merger Central: Previous analysis, reader forum, district maps and demographics Opposition to Greater Louisville metro council districts drawn by geographer Bill Dakan mounted yesterday, as Jefferson County commissioners planned to delay approval of the map until they hold a public hearing. Civil-rights groups, a suburban mayor and the Green Party all stepped forward yesterday to express their dismay with the districts' design. Although none officially have said they intend to sue to stop the new districts, Dakan said he expects a lawsuit. ''You could spend years on (drawing) maps and not improve them,'' said the University of Louisville professor. ''And they might get a lot worse.'' With two small modifications, Dakan will present his final map to Jefferson Fiscal Court this morning. By law, Fiscal Court must adopt it within 30 days without change. Judge-Executive Rebecca Jackson would prefer that the districts be approved at today's court meeting, her aides said. Jackson, a Republican, ''believes it's time to move forward,'' aide Terry Dunn said.

Extractions: Both city and country minds need to go outside the lines Are these events tied together in some way? A recent announcement conveyed the bottom line that cities are decreasing in population while counties are gaining. This, we are told, is happening everywhere but most notably in our large urban areas. One such story is that of the Census. It may be true, technically, that the population in cities is decreasing while that in counties is growing. But the story of urban and rural Kentucky is more complicated than that. And it is counter-productive for cities and counties to be at odds at a time when any wars we wage should be against illiteracy or other enemies that pose lasting threats.
