The whole is made still more en-
phatic when we learn that in the same
year the number of people in Ohio
receiving a greater or less degree of
aid or discipline was 122,O12.
Further, going beyond Ohio, the
United States Census reports that in
a single year 462,530 convicts of var

600 were SO confined every day. And
it is stated that crime is costing us
annually in the country, taking into
account it's indirect as well as its di-
rect losses, more than one thousand
million dollars year Is it strange
that taxes are high? Moreover a
large share of this is absolutely pre-

Injured Was An Aged Woman
At GreerSviIle
Panel Of Fence Fell On Her
Body
Her Condition Is Said To Be
Critical

GreersviIle, ohio, Oct. 27-Miss ELL
"a Collins, aged SO years, residing at
this place, fell and was very serioups-
Iy injured while at her home Thurs
day evening. She is suffering with a
broken hip and, because of her ad-
vanced age, is In very critical con-
dltion.
On Thursday evening Miss Collins
was walking about the yard and stop
ped near the fence at the rear of the
lot. While standing in this position
a panel of the back fence was blown
over and struck her with sufficient
force to knock her over. In striking
the ground her left hip was broken
and she was otherwise injured by the
accident. She was assisted to the
house where DR.. Jones of Loudonyille
was summoned as soon as possible to
reduce the fracture. On his arrival
and after a short examination DR..
Jones stated that an attempt to do so
would probably result fatally as the
break was a bad one and because of
the fact that the bones would prob
ably not knit even though they were
properly set Miss Collins condition
is considered very serious.

els of wheat annually, but until a
marked increase is shown in the area
seeded, this can not be accomplished.
While the area seeded to oats for
1911 harvest was somewhat greater
than in 1910, the total production
does not equal last years crop. The
present estimated production is 46,-
442,742 bushels as against an estimat-
ed production of 54,094 ,054 bushels one
year ago. The quality of the grain is
estimated at 88 per cent. compared
with an average. The average produc-
ton per acre is 81 bushels.
Based upon 35 bushels per acre rep.
resenting normal-10O per cent.-cor-
respondents estimate the corn pros
pect at 81 per cent. Reports from
township assessors show that 3,043,
604 acres were planted to corn. From
the prospect now reported this should
produce approximately 96,93S,797
bushels. On the corresponding date
one year ago the production was es-
timated at S7,156,17S bushels.
Potatoes are failure The prospect
for the state as whole is estimated
at So per cent compared with 1910 pro-
duction. Sixteen counties report pros
pect at less than 95 per cent. while in
but 12 counties is prospect reported at
better than 70 per cent. The failure OF
this crop is attributed to the serious
drought.
Ohio's apple crop is most bountiful.
Compared with last year the prospect
is estimated at 125 per cent. The
awakening of the people to the good
effects following scientific orcharding
is shown in the present apple harvest.
