Annual Crop Report Of County
Clerk Shows That Indian Corn
Still Leads All Products
LARGE ACREAGE IN FAv0RlT E
Crop Reports Show That County Farm
ers Are Returning to the Cultiva-
ton Of Wheat and Sugar Beets
Are Being Tried

Corn is still king in Kenosha county.
This fact is shown by the annual crop
report Of County Clerk Crosby, which
was forwarded to the secretary Of
state on Monday. This report should
be of great interest to the people Of
the county, as it is based on the re-
ports made by the assessors and town
clerks of the different towns and
should be somewhere near accurate.
The report shows that during the
year 1905 there was 716,2 bushels OF
corn raised in the county. The NUM-
Der of bushels of oats was 738, 541, but
the number Of acres given over to the
cultivation of oats was not SO large as
that for. corn. The cultivated grasses
grown in Kenosha county last year
yielded decidedly large crop, as the
total is placed at 81, 4o7 tons.
The report shows that the farmers
are going back to the wheat crop, and
in the last few years there has been a
steady increase IN the amount Of
wheat grown in the county. The
wheat crop Of Kenosha county last
year amounted to 1886 bushels, and
the number Of acres Of wheat this
year is given as 558. Ten years ago
the number was but twenty acres.
The number of bushels of each
product raised last year is given as
follows.

Well Known Physician IS Named
as President Of the Kenosha
Civic Federation
CONSERVATIVES IN SADDLE
Federation is Not Ont After the Hide
of any individual, and Campaign
as Proposed Will be one
Of Education

Conservative leaders in the Keno
sha Civic Federation we're in the sad
die at the FIRST meeting of the fedora
ton held at the auditorium Of the Y.
NJ. G. A. building I uesday night, and
it is certain that the federation will
not take any immediate steps to start
fire. works among the breakers.
Or. J. L. Cleary, who has been a
leader III the movement from the
start, was elected as president of the
federation, and IN his speech accept
Ing the office he declared that as
president of the federation he was
not out after any mans hide, but was
in favor Of campaign Of education by
which the people would be in
structed as to the laws and urged to a
better enforcement of them. DR..
C1eary showed nothing Of the spirit
Of a fre-eater, and showed that he
was not out cunning for any official
but simply sought to secure some rec
ognitiou Of the laws of the state ia
Kenosha.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one, but it did not take the radical
steps that would have been pleasing
to some of the promoters. There
were more than fifty well known peo-
pie of the city at the meeting, and
after the charter had been presented
The federation adopted constitution,
and the matter of adopting the by
laws was laid over until after the
next meeting, which will be held on
the evening of the second Monday in
September. There were few
speeches by the men interested in the
work, and all of these speeches were
in favor Of the proper enforcement Of
the laws of the city and state.
It was urged that the members Of
the federation should prod up the
sheriff, the district attorney and even
| the mayor of the city to a realization
Of their duties under their oaths OF
Office and show to them that the laws
were being violated and seek to find
some way Of having these officials en-
force the laws. The federation will
also seek TO show the people the mean
/ ing of the laws and all this will be a
part of the campaign Of education
1 At present there is no reason to be
lieve that the, federation will be
active in courts and it was limited a
the meeting last night that nothing
Of a positive nature would come VI
for months. In the meantime it i
prcblble that the violations Of tht
laws al the different parks aud othe
pla ses will go on unchecked.
The full list of officers. elected b.
the federation is as follows:
i President-D j. L. Cleary.
4 Vice president Horace II. Maddox
/ Secretary Truman 7. Parker,
Urea snrer-Chris Heide.
The nine directors of the federation
will be elected at the next meeting
BY unanimous vote the officials o
the organization were given authorit
to draw on the treasurer of the fedora
ton for such funds as may be needle,
to secure competent legal advice TO
the government of the future work O
the federation.
