PRELIMINARY REPORT or CORN
CROP.

The crop reporting board of the de
partment OF agriculture, in a pIe.'h'
mary report. gives the indicated tota
production of corn for 1909 as I6f.
$1,000 bushels. compared with 2.66S,
65I 900 bushels as finally estimated
Last year, with the quality ss Si.2 per
cent. against S69 last year.
The preliminary estimate of the
corn crop in the principal states rs
as follows: Illinois. 800 million bush
els: Missouri. 2i5 million: Kansas
l55 mr'ion: Texas. III million IN
diana. 1876 million; Ohio, l5l million;
Oklahoma. 100 million.
The average yield per acre In I'LL
nois Is 35.9 bushels. Iowa. 80, Ne
braska 2i.S. Missouri 2G.l. Texas AZ,
Kansas 1873. Indiana 40 Oklahoma IL.
These figures are presented for the
consideration of Brazos county farm
ers. II will be noted that OF the
great corn growing states Texas Is
next TO the bottom of the list In the
total and the very last in the acreage
yield per acre. The drouth may be
plerded as partial excuse for this
bad showing but oklahoma. Kansas
and Nebraska suffered from this
cause quite as severely as Texas. 1t
is our belief. though, that Brazos
county farmers have done a good deal
better than the average for Texas.

this morning in the Transforming sta

PRESIDENT TAKES UP
COMING LEGISLATION
Discussion Now Turns to Questions of Railroad Corpo-

President Taft is already looking for
word to the next regular session OF
Congress with q view to securing at

It is significant that the President,
turning his mind thus early away from
the tariff bill. has already begun TO
talk with leading members Of both
houses of Congress about the program
for next winter on the important va
riety OF legislation referred to.
Today he talked with Representative
Mann Of Illinois. Just appointed chair
man Of the House Committee on Inter-
state Commerce. on the question of the
railroad ard corporation legislation to
be secured at the regular session. Mr..
Mann was not willing TO say what the
President had outlined He referred in
duirers 10 what the President has al
ready said on these subjects in his mes
sage and elsewhere.

for the purpose of talking over with
him the recommendations in his mes

tiers. Mr. Mann viii comply. He had
expected To go TO Panama with the
