Texas f&rnlers have captured all
honors in hog growing as projected by
the Ton Litter Clubs of the several
states for 1923. A Poland China litter
of twelve pigs bred and fed by M. L.
Msircom, of Leonard, Texas, weighed
officially 3,542 pounds on the 180th
day after farrowing, which is 502
pounds above the record weight held
by an Indiana litter in 1922. It is the
heaviest litter of this breed for 1923.
Another Utter of ten, same breed,
fed by J. M. Martin, of Denton county,
Texas, was weighed the last of Sep-
tember, and averaged 333 pounds each
which is the heaviest average of any
litter in the United States, all breeds
included.
The suspicion immediately arises in
the reader’.® mind that these litters
could net have been practically fed,

Oklahoma City, Oct 24.—An effort
to file two executive orders with the
secretary of state were made today
by a clerk from the office of Governor
Walton. Miss Una Robers, assistant
secretaryof state, refused to accept
the papers in view of tbe resolution
adopted by the State Senate suspend-
ing the governor from office. Observ-
ers believe the incident may be the
basis for court action to test the legal-
ity of the executive's suspension.
The bitterest fight since the conven-
ing of the special session broke on
the flooi of the House today when
Representative Calabar, Democrat, of
Latimer county, introduced a resolu-
tion for an investlgat.cn to determine
| who paid the expenses of the House
members when they attempted to con-
vene September 26, and were dispers-
ed by military authorities upon orders
from Governor Walton. * •'
Callahan is a Walton supporter.
The resolution was adopted after a
brief, acrimonious debate. It was re-
ferred to the committe Investigating
the conduct of House members. It
is sought especially by the inquiry to
determine whether the Ku Klux Klan
or certain interests in Tulsa contribut-
ed funds for the attempted session.

turpitude, corruption in office, willful
neglect of duty aad Incompetency are
alleged in the 22 counts contained in
the house indictment reported Monday
all of which will be voted upon sep-
arately. Each of the counts consti-
tute sufficient grounds upon which
to bring the executive to trisl before
a senate court of Impeachment.
Governor Walton made no comment
on the impeachnfent proceedings.
A dense crowd packed the galleries
when the committee report, to which
was attached the bill of impeach
ment, was presented to the house. The
body previously had voted a call of
the house, permitting no members to
be absent during the proceedings.
The seats of three members—
Charles H. Baskin of Nowata, now a
district judge; E. W. Moothart, of
Miami, now president of the Miami
School of Mines, and Charles Hutson
of Greek county, and now a justice of
the peace, were declared vacant on
motion of Representative Pullen of
Murray, who charged that they had
been appointed to their present offices
illegally .by the governor.
Reading of the committee report
and articles required nearly two hours.

Chairman Disney of the investigation
committee, moved that the report and
articles be printed in the journal.
Representative Garner (Democrat)
Johnston county, asked that the ar-
ticles be taken up separately and that
ithe evidence taken by the committee
be. read in full before any action was
taken. Disney ilien withdrew his mo-
tion and moved that the house pro

i His request drew fire from Repre

chief supporters in the house, who

“deemed competent and material be

members.

an overwhelming majority for oral

cerned, than, it is for us today. In the
past very little was done toward iu-
sect and disease control and yet the
pests did not destroy the major pro-
portion of the crops as they are doing
at the present time. Many of our
present plagues were unknown a few
years ago.
