COUNTY FARMERS
HAD A FAIR YEAR
Thomas Campbell, Crop Core
spondent, Points Out Much
to Be Thankful For.
WEATHER CUTS DOWN YIELD
Failures Few. However; Prices Rule
High and Live Stock Is Well
Fed and IN Good Condition.

Rock Island county did rot have ar
ideal growing season for crops during
the year now ending as Representa-
tive Thomas Campbell. who for many
years has represented the department
OF agriculture at Washington as crop
CORES pendent in this county, poilts
out in a review OF agricultural condi
tons during the year for The Argus.
Corn, the staple. was seriously affect
ed. as was nearly everything else
which grows on the farm hereabout
In few cases. however, was there a
total failure and. on the whole. the
farmer has a great deal 70 be thankful
for.
-AIl small fruit" says Mr.. Camp
bell. was affected by the drouth and
the hot weather in the early part of
the summer. and there was not a full
crop. Apples were affected by unusual
conditions. also. On 1913 there was a
big yield. nearly every tree that was
large enough TO bear being loaded
with fruit. This reduced the vitality Of
the trees and prevented them from
sending out healthy buds last spring.
and consequently the apple crop in
1914 was an almost total failure.
'Ail other crops suffered more or
less from the heat and lack OF rain
fall. Corn was lift hard during the lat
ter part OF June. through July and al
so IN August when It was tasseling
and caring. Conditions here. however.
were not prevalent in other places
and so there is no shortage of grain.
taking the country at large.
Fall rains made late potatoes good
and also helped late pasture. which
was excellent and helped the farmer
out in the feeding Of his live stock. al
kinds OF farm animals in this country
have been unusually healthy.
Il consider that the farmers here
have much TO be thankful for. There
has been no hog cholera reported and
what IS known as the hoof and month
disease has so far missed this county.
We are not at war with other nations.
we are not in want and as IS a people
we are enjoying good health
The year 1914 will. on the whole,
go down IN history as a good one for
the farmer. even II there was a slight
falling off in the yield Of the soil in
this county"

SMOOTHED,
SAYS FEDS HEAD
Weeghman'S Dissatisfaction
Brings Assurance That
Troubles Are Over.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-"The little furry
caused by Charles Weeghman's dissatis-
faction in the strength of the teams
in the circuit has been smoothed out,
and the league will remain intact" is
the way President James A. Gilmore,
of the Federal League. puts il today.
following the long and rather stormy
session of Saturday.
After all kinks had been smoothed out
the owners Of the Federal League, and
there were twenty-one promoters and
owners in the conference, ways and
means were discussed for insuring sue
cess in the struggle to gain standing
in the baseball world commensurate
with the aims outlined, when the new
league entered the lists with the Ameri-
can and National.
Despite President Gilmore's bland as
sertion that the present makeup of the
league would continue until belltime in
April. and that Chicago, Indianapolis,
Baltimore, Toronto, st. Louis. Pitts
burgh, Buffalo, and Kansas City would
square off for the pennant dash. there
is considerable apprehension expressed
today.
Charles Weeghman, president of the
Chicago team. said he wanted to be
assured that Buffalo, Toronto. and In
dianapolis had the right sort Of back
ing, and. while he would not discuss the
report that he had been approached
with an offer to enter the American
League as owner of the ST. Louis
Browns, he was reported to have said
Federal League must come through
with assurance that the players signed
were as good as those reported on the
Baltimore and Chicago teams.

N. T. O'CONNOR GETS
ALL PROBLEMS RIGHT
Manager of Amateur Baseball
Team Solves Billy Evans
StickIers During Week.
By The PROBLEM EDITOR.

When it comes to dipping out base
ball problems Maurice E. O'CoaEor, one
OF the men prominently identified with
the amateur baseball situation has
something on the other fans in the
city. O'Connor not only sent in every
correct answer for the week to Billy
Evans baseball problems, but showed
in one instance where he had put his
knowledge to good account in getting
a player eligible for the big post-sea-
son series among the amateurs a year
or SO ago.
O'COnnor was the only one to solve
all of the answers correctly, but had
close race with John r. Desha, who
won last week and failed in but one So
luton, that Of Monday 6sS. Bill Howe,
Billy Moore, Wallace Taylor. and 9TH
ers had two or more correct solutions
and showed that they ara right on the
with the jumps.
The successful dopesters in yester-
days problem are as -ollows:
Maurice E. O'Connor.
John r. Desha, House Office Build
ing.
Wallace H. Taylor, G. P. o.
r. F. Schnell, Alexandria, Va.
Billy Moore.
Here is the answer to yesterdays $
problem, and the fans who were incor-
rect in their solutions can see just
where they failed:
The umpire based his decision on the
rule which says the batter is out If he
attempts to hinder the catcher in field
ing or throwing the ball by stepping
outside the lines of his position. or in
any way interferes with the catcher
Under certain conditions, the umpire
would have been correct. but in this
particular instance he was wrong, as
there Is another and more specific rule
covering this play. 1t says that the
baserunner is out If. with one or none
out a baserunner on third. the bats
man interferes with a play being made
at the plate. In this play the umpire
should have called out. because of the
batter's interference. the runner who
had tried to score on the squeeze play.
Thus, the game was won largely
through the faulty ruling. and it was
thrown out by the president of the
league and ordered played over.-B. Z.
