GOVERNOR WANTS
BETTER RESULTS

Governor Harvey is not entirely
satisfied with the present law en-
forcement effort of the state con-
stables, nine in number, and is con-
sidering changes whereby all the
constables will be subject to orders
to go anywhere in the state in a mo-
ment's notice and 'swoop down" on
law violators when they are not sus-
pecting any such move by the Of
ficers.
At present the constables have GER
tain districts to patrol and seldom, if
ever, get out of these respective dis
tricts, made up of few counties In
this way the bootleggers and law vio-
lators know where the constables are
and go ahead with their business un-
molested while the officers are at
work in another county.
The governor is fighting on max
;ng Columbia the general haedquar-
.ers for all the men and sending them
o every point in the state without
letting the violators know of the
moves. In this way the constables
would be in counties and no one would
be the wiser until he was caught at
the still.
Better results must be obtained or
a change will be made, the governor
indicated yesterday. Another mat
ter that the governor is working on in
this connection is the work of the
magistrates. These officials are sub
ject to the governors watchful eye
and he is doing a little checking up
on his own accord to see what the
magistrates are doing. If they do not
lend the proper cooperation some of
them will be removed overnight, h,
ndicated.-The State

CROP FORECAST
IS ENCOURAGING

Washington, July 1O.-Crops in gen.
eral promise better harvests this wear
than their average for the last five
years, forecasts of the department of
agriculture based on July l condition
issued today indicate. Bumper crops
of white and sweet potatoes and to-
bacco are forecast and most of the
crops are larger than last years. With
the exception of wheat, corn and oats,
acreages this year range from 10 to 22
per cent larger than those Of 1921.
Corn acreages are increased this
year in most of the corn belt states
but in the cotton states decreases are
shown, while in Iowa, the largest corn
producing state, there is a 2 per cent
decrease and in Missouri a 3 per cent
decrease. The crop in general made
good progress to July l, except in the
Southeast where it has been neglected
for cotton. Growth has been slow east
of the Mississippi but stands are good
and fields fairly well cultivated.
Farther west rapid growth has been
made.
Winter wheat production forecasts
show decline of 5000 900 bushels.
compared with June forecasts. Severe
damage has been reported from hea;
waves and hail storms in Kansas.
from drought, high temperatures and
winds in Nebraska and from shrivel-
ing in Oklahoma and black chaff and
take-all in some sections. Wheat re-
manning on farms July l is 31,641,OOO
bushels, or 25,0OO,OOO bushels less
than stocks year ago.
The large crop of white Potatoes
forecast is due largely to increased
acreages in Western and Northwest
ern states while all important produc-
ing states show increase of from 5 to
10 per cent.
A 45 per cent increase in tobacco
acreage in Kentucky, an increase of
36 per cent in Maryland, 25 per cent
IN Virginia, 13 per cent in North Car
olina, 35 per cent in Tennessee, "a per
cent in Ohio and 25 per cent in Indi-
ana, account for the large tobacco
crop. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and
New England, however, reported de-
creased acreage.
The 19 leading crops have a total
area of 341,763,OOO this year COM
pared with, 345, lao 900 acres last
Year, areduction of per cent prin-
cipally to winter wheat and oats.
This years total wheat crop was
forecast at S17,OOO,OOO bushels and
the corn crop at 2,s6O,OOO, 900 bushels
by the department of agriculture in
its July crop report issued today.
