that II the Guatamalans do not Immediately

pay an indemnity OF one million of dollars
for not having vacated sooner the dogs of

This boundary dispute which was sup

A BIG CORN CROP IN THE SOUTH
rs ESSENTIAL.

The Mdnuydctarers' Record, in a very able
and elaborate article upon the subject of an
increased acreage of the corn crop, gives the
following pointed and forcble remarks;
The total production of corn in the
United States in 1894 was 1,212,000,00
bushels, a decrease Of over 100000 900
bushels as compared with 1893, and de-
crease Of s50,0O00O0 bushels as compared
with 1891. Fortunately the South had a
large crop this year, or otherwise it would
have had to purchase its corn at very high
figure, because OF this great shortage As
the average crop of the United States for
some years has been about 1850, 000, 900
bushels, the production of the last two years
is over 500,000,000 bushels short OF the aver.
age. The country will therefore enter upon
the next crop year with very small stock
of corn on hand-so small, indeed, that even
should we have another 1900, 900 900 bushel
crop, as in 1891, ii would require all of this
enormous yield to make up for the def
cheney Of the last two years. Even should
such a crop as this be produced, prices would
probably still be high, because of the de.
crease in 1894. Another small crop follow.
ing the one Of last year would necessarily
mean exorbitant prices for corn.
Because of these facts it becomes more
imperative than ever before that the South
should increase its corn acreage this year.
The South's large crop last year was due
more to a heavy yield per acre than to a
large increase in acreage. Ii this section is
10 maintain its independence OF the West so
far as corn is concerned, every effort should
be made to urge upon farmers the import
ance of planting larger acreage this year
thar ever before. With big corn crop the
South is better prepared to stand low priced
cotton than it could in any other way.
ut behooyes every trade organization in
