sufficient publicity has been given to
the law recently operative in the
State. In the northern part of Mary

portunities were given for automobile
owners to have their lights inspected
and approved. seal was placed on
approved lights by the police depart

was made for such a preliminary ex-
animation, it is said.
The new law requires that at a dis

DAMAGE TO
ILLINOIS CORN
Recent Frost Made Greater inroads
Into Crop Of the State Than
Was at First
Reported.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Sept 27.-All
reports to the department of agricul-
ture indicate the damage done the
1917 corn crop by the recent frost is
larger than first estimated.
Director Adkins, who has Just re-
turned from trip through the north
ern part of the state, believes farm
ers in the three northern tiers Of the
state will not harvest more than fifty
percent of their crop.
Though the frost extended as far
south as Livingstone county" the di
rector said, the real danger starts
at Joliet and goes north. All re-
ports now show the damage greater
than we estimated several days after
the frost.
II get reports every day Of farmers
going into their fields, breaking open
an ear of corn and finding it has
started to sour Often this Is the
only way of telling that corn has
been frost nipped.
The central and south sections OF
the state were not reached by the
frost and two weeks more Of the pres
ent weather will put king corn out
OF danger from frost in these sec.
tons.
Despite the frost in the northern
counties, l expect the 1917 corn crop
to be the greatest in the history Of
the state. Some farms will average
100 bushels to the acre. OF course
this is the exception, but the yield per
acre this year will be far above the
average"
Director Adkins also declared the
farmers of the state are not taking
we'll to the government method OF
buying horses. The government has
advised the farmers that IL twenty
horses are collected in one place the
