BIGGEST CORN CROP EVER, IS FORETOLD WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. The great est corn crop in the country's history is in prospect for this year's harvest Forecast of production, based on Sept. 1 conditions, was placed at 3,131,000,000 bushels by the department of agriculture. Such a yield would exceed by 6,000,000 bushels the previous largest crop on record, which was in 1912. A crop of even larger proportions will be harvested if frosts hold off until late and permit maturity of much late corn now rated as of doubtful promise. Tobacco also is a record crop this year and probably will exceed the best previous production by 114,000,000 pounds. Forecast of production places this year's crop at 1,553,000,000 pounds. Growing Conditions Good. August growing conditions proved highly beneficial to most of the coun try's most important crops, and as a result production forecasts generally were higher in this report than the forecasts of a month ago. Corn improved to the extent of 128,000,000 bushels, oats, 40,000,00 bushels; white potatoes, 11,000,000; sweet potatoes, 1,000,000 bushels; tobacco, 10,000,000 pounds and apples, 10,000,000 bushels. Spring wheat, however, suffered a loss of 25,000,000 bushels because o drought, and flax lost 2,500,000 bushels from the same cause. GOVERNMENT SUES BIG RAISIN COMPANY (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9.

Mr. O'Connor stated the government sought an order restraining the company from enforcing contracts alleged to have been obtained from grape growers through coercion. PRODUCERS PROTEST AGAINST RESTRICTION OF CREDITS WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.

"MUSKRAT SALARIES" DRIVE PREACHERS OUT OF CHURCHES OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 9 Retirement of preachers from the ministry because their pay is poor was deplored by Bishop W. F. McDowell of Washington, D. C, addressing a conference of Methodist ministers of Nebraska here today. Bishop McDowell said he had heard one minister say he was retiring because he could not "keep a sealskin family on a muskrat income" and declared that too many were getting out of the ministry for that reason.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The Preble county tobacco growers are beginning to cut their crops in a lively fashion, not because of rust in their fields, but to insure against frost should it strike the tobacco district a bit too early. True, there has been some rust but the damage seems to be nominal, the affected plants being cut on discovery. W. B. Eddins, of Eldorado, says that about half of his crop is now hanging and the balance will be shortly, if the weather is favorable. He tells of the banner crop so far heard from, 3,000 pounds or better, grown on an acre and half plot The man who raised this exceptional crop, Ed. Shafer. used 700 pounds of fertilizer, a lot of manure and gave the plot the best of care. Mr. Eddins describes how they reach that estimate of weight when cured, by giving the number of "rails, sticks and laths," covered in the hanging shed and says that Mr. Shafer started out to see how much leaf he could actually grow in the space described, by an economy of space between plants and rows, and by heavy fertili zation. Rust Free Tobacco Crops, The tobacco grown this year will suit buyers better than did the 1919 crop, which was also of good quality, because there is a longer leaf this year, according to tobacco experts. Among the growers of Spanish leaf who report fine rusa free crops are: Dan Horrigan, 2 acres; H. P. Barney. 4 acres: Chester Wright 4 acres, all living near Gettysburg. Dan Brubaker, a neighbor, has 3 acres in good seed leaf. Sam Petrey and Ray House, near Eldorado, report 10 acres of Spanish leaf in good condition. Charlie Shrieber, New Madison, is cutting his crop and it is said that about half the acreage around Palestine is now In the barns. No reports of silos being filled have been received from Preble, so far, but it is thought that another week of favorable weather will start the season in that section. Potatoes at $1 Per Bushel. The Harshman Brothers, merchants at Eldorado, say that the best price made by formers on potatoes thus far. has been $1 per bushel, and that one can buy quite a supply at $1.25 this week. They are of the opinion that one could pick up 100 bushels for $100 right now with but little trouble. Practically all the villagers have gardens and potatoes are turning out well ont he farms, although not grown for market. His Corn Would Stand Frost. Charles M. Hearst, of Milton, say? that most of his corn is so far along that a light frost would benefit it. He pleads guilty to the charge of having filled the first silo in Wayne this year, on Friday, Aug. 27, at which time he says his corn was in good shape for that use. He admits however that most of the corn in Wayne still needs sunshine and warmth, and says that the crop in his vicinity will not be extra heavy, because they have not had a real rain since harvest. His corn was planted early and was well cultivated. Bearded Wheat Yielded Well. R. B. Morrow, National road east, was asked as to "bearded wheat," this office having an inquiry for seed of that variety. Mr. Morrow stated that he had sown the "Dowens" bearded last fall, and that in spite of an infestation of midge he had garnered 18 bushels to the acre, also that he knew of 35 bushel crops of bearded in other seasons. The Morrow wheat was grown over the line in Ohio, but his home is just east of Richmond. Paying $2.45 at College Corner.

The upheaval was especially terrific in the famous quarry district of Carrara, from which comes the finest specimens of marble. Great rocka, dislodged by the shock, rolled down the steep roads leading up into the hills, crushing everything in their path. Priest Hurt, Finishes Service. A tragic and memorable scene was enacted at Marina, near Carrara, when the earthquake shattered a church where Mass was being offered Father Frlggotti had Just raised the chalice in the most solemn moment of the service, when the ceiling of the edifice fell upon the congregation, killing many of those who were worshipping. The priest was struck by falling frag ments of the ceiling and his hands and face were cut but he reverently finished the service before attending to the injuries of those about him. Less fortunate was Father Riccardo Bruscolettl, at Castanzalvo, who was killed. LONDON, Sept. 9.

Vignet has been destroyed, and thousants are homeless at Taasaldo, Cattelletto, Montecuto and Ceserano, the despatch states. FrVAZZANO. Italy, Sept. 9. King

Victor Emmanuel of Italy today Tiew. ed the ruin visited upon this city by the earthquake, which Tuesday morning shook northern Italy to Its center. He went into every quarter of the town and entered buildings whose crumbling walls threatened to fall If another tremor should come, and talked with survivors, expressing his profound grief over the misfortune that had befallen them, and comforting those 'who were injured. Years of war and of national stress have aged the Italian sovereign. His hair is much grayer than it was when he first visited the front where his troops were holding the rocky mountain ridges against the Austrians and his whole figure seems to reflect the weight of care, as well as the passing of time. Still he retains his kindly glance. During his walk through the city the King approached a stretcher on which was lying an aged woman and gently touched her forehead. The oman opened her eyes and recognized the gray-uniformed figure before her as that of the monarch. Her eyes filled with tears and she struggled to kiss his hand, sobbing: "My little grandsons; my little grandsons." Inquiry from Victor Emmaneul -elicited the information that the woman's entire family with the exception of herself and the two small lads had been buried in their home and killed. When the monarch promised to look after the children, joy shone through the tears in the eyes of the sufferer and she murmured: "May the Madonna bless you. You are indeed good to me. You are a real father to your people." CHIROPRACTORS G. C. WILCOXEN, D. C C. H. GROCE, D.
