STATE LITIGATION
MAY BE DELAYED

Montgomery. September 25.-tSpecial)-
1t is understood that the states appeal
to the federal circuit court of railroad
litigation will be delayed to the winter
session. 1t was thought that it would
be presented here in October, but it
seems now that the enormous task of
getting the records made will not be
completed before the winter. These cases
were decided adversely to the state in
the federal district court here.

Within the last 40 years great

Increase rather than diminish. The
year 1906 was one of large crops and
can scarcely be taken as a standard.
We produced, for example. more corn
that year than had ever been grown
in the United States in a single year
before. But the average yield per
acre was less than IL was in 1872.
