1000 MILES OF CORN.
A GEORGIAN RIDES THROUGH LII
IN THE NORTH WEST.
Biggest Corn Crop This Year Ever
known. Kansas Alone Will Pro-
duce 800, 900, 900 Bushels.

All the indications point to a large
corn crop. Mr.. Conner, president OF the
Central of Georgia railway, who returned
from a trip through the northwest on
Monday, iu an interview in the Morning
News yesterday, spoke of riding in bis
car through 1000 miles of corn, WHICH,
1t seemed to him, would average nifty
bushels to the acre. The estimate of the
agricultural department is that the yield
Of corn this season will be 2,203, 900, 600
bushels. That is 275, 100000 bushels
more than the crop of last year, ana only
oOUO,000 bushels less than the yield OF
1896, which was the greatest corn crop ID
me history of the country.
There is chance of course that the
crop will be injured by an early frost. 1t

before September 18th. By that time the

attended 10y nearly two thousand unln-

being managed with surprising smooth
ness.
The present indications are that the
