/. TIE Corn 'ciussidea is taking root
early this year. and the prospects for
good work is excellent. Superinten-
dent f. p. Clayton, of Lee county,
has already sent out notices for or
ganization and will take an active
interest in the movement, assuring
its success. Lee is one of the most
productive counties i'll ihe state and
will give hearty encouragement to this
progress idea. The yield of corn up
there is already 22.5 bushels to the
acre, and if Superintendent Clayton
can increase this yield only one bush
el to the acre for 1908 it will be APP
proximately 10000 bushels. or esti-
mating at go cents per bushel, $24.-
900. A pretty fair earning for coun-
ty superintendent. If each superin-
tendent would give the movement his
influence and add only one bushel to
each acre in the state,- the increase
would be approximately 100000
bushels valued at $l,200,000. Supcrin-
tendent L. h. Massey, of Jasper coun-
ty and Others have taken up the work
also ana old Mississippi bids fair to
soon become one of the leading corn
states of the Union.

RALRoAps THREATEN FoREsTs
Demand for Ties Is Heavy Drain ON
Timber Resources.

CHICAGO, Mar. 17.--One Of the
most important reports presented to
the convention of the American Rail-
way Engineering and Maintenance Of
Way association, opened here today,
was that of the sub committee on the
future policy of railroads in refer
ence to the tie supply. 1t is declared
that the demand for ties has now
reached a point where it threatens
to utterly deAude the forests of Am
erica. In part, the report says:
THE number Of ties used annual
ly for renewal and construction pur-
poses by American railway compan-
les has been steadily on the increase
for a number of years, and this in
crease has been going on at such
rapid rate that during the last year
some $4,000 900 ties, more or less.
we're used for renewal alone. This
enormous number of ties represents
a serious drain upon the forest re-
sources OF the country. Attention
has been called to the decreasing sup
ply of standing timber by numerous
writer's for some fifteen years or
more. and especially so during the
last FIVE years. Warnings have been
Issued from time to time, calling at
tention to the fact that unless some
thing were done the railroads would
be confronted sooner or later with a
serious problem as to where to get
supply of ties. While these warn
lngs increased in insistency, very lit
tie, II any, heed has been paid to
them. This has probably been the
case not because the railroad COM
panies did not realize that there was
a rapidly decreasing supply of tim
Der available for tie purposes, but II
due to the fact that in spite of the de
creasing supply little difficulty hal
until recently been experienced by
any company in getting the requi
site number of ties at fairly reason
able prices. During the last yea
or two, however, this condition haI
changed very materially. Prices o
ties have gone up with startling rap
idity and, in many instances, It ha
been impossible to obtain the neces
sary number 70 ties OF certain, kind
of wood and of certain quality, eveI
where the highest prices were pai'
for them"
AS a remedy for this condition, tn
committee suggests more ecOnom
ical use Of the timber now beinl
used for tie purposes. the establish
ment of forests by the different rail
road companies for growing neN
trees, and the importation of tie
} from abroad.
Leading railroad officials from al
over the United States, Canada an
Mexico are in attendance at the meet
ing which will last three days. Tn
sessions are being held at the Aud
torium Hotel.
