On Twenty-three Counts

Gov. Furgeson, of Texas, has
been found guilty on impeach-
ment charges by the State senate
by almost unanimous vote, and
removed from office. There were
% charges upon which he was
convicted, the first being using
$4,000 of the States money for
his own Vivate use.
One of the strongest contests
ever made in a primary was that
made a few years ago between
Governor Furgeson, who was the
whiskey candidate, and Gov.
Colquitt, the Prohibition candi'
date. The whiskey men won In
that race, bnt to their sorrow.
During the whole history of
the different States, there has
been but nine impeachments OF

Want Corn Shuckers

Mclean county, Illinois, is the
hub OF the corn district but their
farm labor has been greatly i'm.
paired on account Of the draft
hence thev are sending the fol.
lowing notice to all papers for
publication iO hope that labor
May be had.
Mclean county corn is about
ripe for the harvest. No bad
storms have struck so far this
season and the corn is standing
up in good shape. Heavy yields
are anticipated. The farmers of
the county are facing a shortage
of help due to the fact that many
of them have been taken away
thru the action of the selective
darft and for other reasons"
Farmers of Illinois are suffer
ing Ike those of Kentucky for
the want of labor to care for
their ready made crops. The re-
suit of taking so many farm boys
from the fields of production and
placing them in the fields of con.
sumption is dead sure 10 greatly
curtail next years crop and make
a scarcity that will really pinch.

Corn Famine Relieved.

The local corn famine is re.
lieved now that corn in the field
is quite hard enough TO use for
feed and dry enough in many
cases to grind into table meal.
The local mills get plenty of it to
grind. This is great relief to the
people in general, as bolted meal
had become very scarce and high.

The crop report as OF October
shows that farmers are busily Ell.
gagged in cutting corn, filling -.
los, housing tobacco and doing
the fall seeding The report gives
almost entirely the preliminary
estimates on yields for this year
and acreage for next.
The corn crop is unusually
good, but late. 1t is not all gath
cred and there is danger Of dam.
age by frosts. The preliminary
estimate on the yield of corn lis
30 8 bushels per acre, which is
l.. bushels better than last year,
which would make the forecast
of the corn crop 1913, 979, 500 bush
els. -
The final estimate of weld OF
wheat this year is given at III q
bushels per acre. The estimate
of hemp yield is given at 1,01o
pounds per acre, ~as compared
with 900 pounds bSeliminary es-
innate last year.
A good deal of all wheat has
ceen sown as well as rye and bar
ley. From a summary of the re
ports sent in, the estimate on
the wheat sown is l05 per cent
as compared with S6 per cent in
1916. The acreage in 1916 was
estimated to be SS4, 900, and bas-
ed on this, the preliminary estI-
mate for fall wheat would be
1S5S,373 acres. The acrage Of
rye is given at 97t per cent as
compared with 81 per cent IN
1916, while barley is given at 90
per cent as compared " h SS'per
cent last year.
About three fourths of the to-
bacco crop was reported housed
by the 1st, and it is curing nice
ly. 1t is estimated that barley
tobacco will yield 906 pounds per
acre as compared with 9l9 pounds
last year, and dark tobacco's
yield is given at $50 pounds, as
compared with S51 pounds 10
1916. .
The late crop OF potatoes is re.
ported poor. The average pro-
duction of Irish potatoes is esti.
mated at SO bushels per acre and
sweet potatoes at 81 bush hels.

ed up. Livestock is in good con.
