CORN CROP INCREASE
IS DUE TO THE SOUTH
Larger Yields Shown In All
the Southern
States.

That the Southern States are re
sponsible for practically one-half Of
the immense increase of the 1910 corn
crop-359, ,005, 900 bushels. making the
total 3.121. .3S1, ,0OO-was stated today
by Bradford Knapp, of the farmers
cooperative demonstration work, in
the Agricultural Departments bureau
of plant industry
Crop statistics prepared by Mr.
Knapp show that the Southern States.
exclusive OF Maryland, Kentucky and
Oklahoma, increased their crop of
corn from 5S1, ,OO4, 900 in 1903 to 49,
044, 900 in 1910 Mr. Knapp, whose
work in com batting the cotton boil
weevil has placed him in close touch
with Southern agricultural cOndi-
tions, declares that the most crafty
ing part of the increase is the fact
that II is due in a large measure 10
improved methods Of culture.
Every one of the States shows an
increased yield Of corn by the acre,
Nirginia's yield having increased this
year to 255 bushels an acre and
Tennessee's to nearly 80. while Mis-
sissippi and Texas, with smaller in
creases of percentage, vastly increas-
ed their totals.
The rest of the increase in the corn
crop, Mr.. Knapp said, can be ac-
counted for by the increased yields
in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri
Nebraska, and Indiana, with aggre-
gate gains Of 1879. $50,

Clagett, but the whole management OF
this affair seems to be most peculiar

Il want to take this occasion TO pro-
test against the release OF Clagett after
he was arrested at our request on Octo-
Der J.. By order of the District Attor
ney he was allowed 10 go free, and was
only arrested again after I protested
Wants Him Kept Away.
I understand that ar. Wilson stated
he allowed Clagett to 20 free because
it was to the best interest Of both fam
lilies never expressed any desire to
have Clagett 90 free, and it is to the
interest or my family that Clagett be
kept away from my home. I intend TO
see that that interest Is maintained"
District Attorney Wilson said today
that Clagett was released from the
Washington asylum because physicians
there reported he was not insane, and
was then allowed 10 go free under
bond. as was usual In such cases.
o. When asked whether he would ex-
plain why Clagett was released after
his arrest on october y Mr.. Wilson re-
Flled emphatically, II Will not"
That was all published once" the
district attorney said, and l don't in
tend 10 go into II again"
The release Of Ciagett. which has
aroused the Maus family and has
aroused wide comment, was made on
the order Of the district attorney on
the night after his arrest at the request
OF Mr.. Maus. Clagett was permitted
10 go 10 Annapolis, and after compliant
had been made by Mr.. Maus, he was
rearrested day later on his return 10

aeceded to a request TO abandon the
charge Of housebreaking on the
agreement that the District Attorney
provide that Clagett be kept out OF
Washington, and my daughter there
fore free from his Vaccinations. This
was not done.
My personal belief Is that ClaEett
did not even go to Annapolis. as the
District Attorney said he did"
Clagett made strong plea to the
judge today that ne be allowed 70 go
free under a sentence suspended un-
less he should enter -he District
again.
