BILLION DOLLAR CORN CROP.
Will Yield Greater Financial Return
Than Big Crop of 1907.

Special dispatches from corresppon-
dents throughout the corn belt, in
Guiding Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri,. Illinois. Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota. North and South Dakota
and Ohio are to the effect that the
corn crop of 1907 is practically safe.
With another week of GOOD weathe
the American farmer may reckon
upon yield of approximately 2,500,-
100000.
Calculated upon an approximate
price of fifty cents per huehel at the
farm, this makes financial return to
the farmer of 1880, 900, 900. This will
compare with value of Sligo, 626,47s
in 1906. and s1,116, 696,7SS in 1905,
when was raised the bumper crop of
2. 707 ,993. $40 bushels. which stands as
the record.

The architects will now more fully
work out the drawings for the CON

Mr.. Harding said, and then contrac-

The report of the special commit
tee appointed BY the County Court to
examine and report the conditions at
the County Poor House, was receiy-
ed by the Court at the meeting Mon
day and ordered spread upon the min
utes. The report was not received
with good grace by some of the men,
bers of the Court, few expressing a
doubt as to the accuracy of some of
the clauses, because they did not coin
eide with the report Of the Grand Jury
on the same subject. A motion to
thank the committee for their work
met with some opposition, but was
finally adopted. The report of the
Grand Jury on the same subject was
received and ordered spread upon the
minutes. The Court took no further
action in the matter and 1t is thought
that while an effort will be made to
make the present Poor House more
sanitary and habitable, that there is
little sentiment in the Court in favor
of selling the present farm and buying
a smaller tract of land near town for
a modern poor house or for any ex-
penditures at the present location Of
sufficient magnitude to give much re
lief or for a change of the present
