present instance conditions leave little
Ito be desired. Previous official fore

latest returns are even better, show

on probable yields. Instead OF de-
Iteriorating, the leading crops mada
further progress last month and mil,
lions of bushels were added to the in
dictated harvests, notable improve'
ment appearing in corn and wheat.
Thus, the promise for the former GER
cal is 67,0OO,oOO bushels above the
August calculatl n, the outlook being
for a production only once before ex-
'ceeded, while wheat will easily estab-
fish new high record. That the lat.
ter may reach round billion bushels
is everywhere conceded, as 9Sl ,OO0,OoO
bushels are now foreshadowed, and the
total may be materially raised before
all the grain is gathered. During
August oats did not improve to the
same extent as corn and wheat, but
here, also, a new maximum is possible
and the other cereals, such as barley
rye and buckwheat will show increases
over recent years."

lLLl.aols DAT FIELDS.

Notwithstanding much discourage
Iment on account OF the weather Con-
Iditions during the latter portion Of
the growing season and through the
harvest, Illinois farmers have the sat
isfaction OF having produced record
oats crop this year. Had all the con-
ditions been favorable up to the COM
'pletion Of threshing 1t undoubtedly
would have surpassed the expectations
even Of those who grew It, says the
Illinois State Journal.
The statistics Of the crop have been
collated, and some Of the prominent
points thereof will interest our read
ers. The crop was grown on an area
'of 4,922,O27 acres, which is by 10000
acres the largest oats acreage eyer
sown in the state. The total yield Is
given as 2l6,Ss5,726 bushels, which Is
1880, 900 bushels larger than tho
crop Of 1913, and 41,476,000 larger
than the states previous highest rec
ord.
AS to the value Of the crop, It Is
estimated that, il 1t could have been
put to sale at the prevailing price on
August /, 1t would have Melted not
less than $79,722,556 and made. the
growers profit OF $46,04S,119 over
the cost of production. The average
yield Is put ct A bushels an acre, the
largest recorded for the state. not even
excepting the great crop Of 1912.
Sixty bushels an acre is the highest
yield credited to any county. and that
figure falls to Champaign, Henry. Put
nam and Stark only. Champaign
leads the state IN total yield. being
credited with 11,s2S, 900 bushels, grown
on $4,000 acres Mclean follows
with 10,20S,64O bushels grown on 1856.
800 acres. Thence the yields by
counties run down to 100000 bush
els for Iroquois. 7.420,s0O for Henry
q, 54s, 900 for LaSalle, 100000 for Liv-
ingston, 5,028,0O for Whiteside, and
a, $50 900 for Bureau and Kane.
/. Altogether 1t Is m enormous crop.
not only the greatest Illinois ever ha.
produced but the greatest any state
has. with the single exception OF the
crop Of 217,OO0,000 bushels in Iowa Ia
1912. There is enough OF it to parcel
out thirty-six bushels to each man,
woman and child in the state. The
regrettable thing Is that since it was
grown and cut. 1t has suffered in the
shock and much Of it has been stained
and damaged by the rains, thus AFFECT
ing its marketable quality.

CANAL PAGEANT
 MAY BE DROPPED Col. Goethals Says Slides May Pre-
 vent Parade-BelIigerent \A Cannot Send Ships.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Col. Goe- thals, governor of the Panama Canal zone, now in this city, stated today that it was possible that the slides in the canal might prevent the big naval pageant which had been plan ned for the spring.
 The certainty that the nations en- gagged in the war cannot send ves- sels to America to take part in the parade and also the fear that the neutral nations of Europe dare not at this time send any of their ships into foreign waters makes it sure that the parade would consist almost entirely of American warships and vessels from the Latin American republics.
 The plan to have President Wilson go through the canal on a warship may also be abandoned.

VIENNA EDITOR
 |S EXECUTED Printed Seditious ArticIes-Consider. able Unrest Reported In the
 Dual Empire.

ROME, Jan. 5.-The military auth. critics of Vienna today executed an editor of small paper issued in this city charging that the editor had cir culated seditious articles. More ex- cautions are threatened unless the tone of the press changes and the editors work in common with the military authorities. Considerable unrest is reported from all parts of the empire following the terrible de- feat of the Austrian army command. ed by Gen. Potiorek which operated in Servia but was driven from the lit. tie empire with great loss of life.
 The police are preventing demon strations as much as possible. The war office announces that the Ger mans have sent six army corps to aid the Hungarians, who are holding the Russians in the Carpathians and pre- venting the invasion of Hungary.

FIGHTING SHIP
 PURCHASE BILL Republicans Hold Conference and An. nounce Bitter Opposition To
 Presidents Plan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-After q caucus of the Republican senators 1t was announced today that the party would fight President Wilson's ship purchase bill. The spokesman of the minority party insisted that the gov ernment will only involve itself into endless trouble by operating steamers at this time when the belligerents are constantly stopping and searching vessels and that should one of the warning nations stop government owned ship it meant war, more es- pecially if some cheap politician and grafter should succeed in loading the vessel with contraband of war be- cause he received good price for so doing.
 The Republicans also oppose tho bill because they insist that the gov ernment should not enter the trans- portation business but should confine it's operations to regulations that would build up big merchant ma rine and at the same time provide for proper freight charges.
