Eighty thousand acres farmed in Ford Illinois headline item
A Memmoth Farm near Burr Oaks Illinois is described as nearly eight miles square and about forty thousand acres with a 400 to 500 worker force, 600 to 700 horses, and 600 Swedes.

No report was made, and a cautious theory blames careless handling by city sportsmen. A separate note mentions a billiards game in Chicago with a 600 score reference.
