Corn in the Gulf States.

THE most astounding news comes from the
reports of the doings Of the various Corn Clubs
organized in Louisiana and Mississippi upon the
suggestion of the U. S. Department Of Agrlcul-
ture and to which the Department is lending It's
technical aid. Prof. Y. L. Roy, who has been
in charge of these experiments with corn IN
Louisiana, states in a report OF the work zone
by the boys on areas of land ranging from halt
an acre to an acre, and in which the yield from
the entire area was calculated, that he found
that seven parishes gave an average OF lOG.oo
bushels per acre as the first best yield and the
second best was SO. 81 bushels per acre. 1t is sug-
gested that it is very doubtful as to whether the
prairie lands of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa or Missouri
could surpass these yields, even in their best Sc
ected spots and to the same extent. The yield re-
ported from Livingston Parish, the soil of which
is of our so-called bluff formation, hardly so
good as the "alluvial or prairie lands, and yet
better than the hill lands, reports, 1888 bushels
of corn per acre as it's best yield and lO4.7 BUSH
els as it's second best yield. East Baton Rouge
is another bluff land parish and the first best
reported there was 1O8.54 bushels of corn per
acre and the second best 1O4.7 bushels. Clair
borne Parish, however, in North Louisiana, one
of the hill land parishes, the soils of which,
while really excellent in quality are regarded
as less desirable than the rest, gaveits first best
yield of 12O. Is bushels per acre and its second
best yield of lis. 40 bushels per acre. The fiat pine
lands of Tangipahoa and Washington Parishes
gave IS bushels and S4.6 bushels respectively as
the best yields and II bushels and 78. Is bushels as
the second best yields respectively. East Fell
ciana. which rates itself as better than the hill
lands and better than the pine lands, but hardly
up to the uplands in quality, yielded 80 bushels
as.frst best and 66 as second best. Out in the
priarie Parish of Lafayette the first best yield
was &.6 bushels and the second best SS.75
bushels.
These figures are enough to ~para}yze Utmost
any Louisianian who has deplored the advent Of
the boil weevil and the loss of the cotton crop.
Corn is King today in the United States and we
have over 800 millions of bushels as the crop of
1910 and its worth right on the farms in the
West and the South is about 1900 millions Of
dollars
We are not alone in our great production of
corn. Mississippi has come to the front also
and the kilograms from Mt. Olive, Miss. to the
public press under the date Of Oct. q, were to
the effect that the Corn Club reports and ex-
hibits astounded everybody at the Covington
fair. Forty eight competitors had their corn
measured by committees, as required and the
general average yield was found to be "a bushels
per acre. The highest yield was 2l4 bushels
per acre. Many of the schools of the county
attended the fair in a body and everyone was
delighted with these extraordinary successes.
About thirty years ago. when corn sold down

PUBLIC STRUCTURES
ARE DELAP|DATED

Appropriations for the repair and
renovation of the Capitol may be asked
at the coming session of the legislature.
in addition to the necessarily large APP
preparations for the reconstruction of
the Judiciary building.
Both government structures are in
sad state of repair, and the Governor
hopes that the Legislature will recognize
the necessity of putting both in proper
shape to accord with the dignity of the
Territory.
The Governor merely points out
through his rear office window to show
where plaster is falling from the cell
ing of the porch, while much of the
plaster is discolored. There Is a gen
eral air Of decay throughout the Cani-
tol, and the exterior is commencing to
show dilapidation. The roof needs re-
pairs, the former iron ratings about
the flagstaff cupola are gone, and only
wooden ratings, some broken, grace the
summit.
The Governor does not know Just
what VIII be done with the Judiciary
building. The floors are weak. the cell
ing plaster is failing. the roof leaks,
and it has fallen into decay which is
making the building dangerous for oc-
cupancy.

and valuable services. By severing his
connection as treasurer the association
realizes the loss great one, and the
gap to be filed, deep.
In the mean time, the alumni have
been specializing as to probable candi-
dates to fill the vacancy. and their
choices have narrowed down to two
strong standbies David Desba and
Joseph Ordenstein-vice president and
corresponding secretary of the associa-
ton respectively. Other names were
suggested, but the two named seem to
be the undisputed favorites. Both men
are excellent candidates for the office
and both received their education at
Punahou after completing their course
At kamehameha. There is no question
as to their qualifications to assume the
duties of treasurer The former is
ticket agent for the O. r. & L. Co
and the latter is entry clerk in the
United States customhouse. It is hard
to predict who win win, as both candl-
dates ar equally popular.

EDMUNDS ACT
MAY INTERVENE
PaWnbroker Carlo ArouSes Ire
of Judqe-GirIs Tell of
Ruin.

One of the most unusual proceedings
ever brought into the local courts was
furnished yesterday morning by j.
Carlo, the pawnbroker, when he was
hailed before Judge Cooper on bench
warrant, charging him with making
statement in the hearing of court, Off
GERS and jury which reflected upon the
issue of a case being tried, and ad
judged in contempt of court and fined
500, being given until three clock in
the afternoon to pay it. He paid the
amount at noon, and the case went on
with new sensations unfolding at every
stage. Carlo explains that no contempt
was intended, his remark and the APP
pearance of Judge Cooper coming to-
gether as strange coincidence.
The case IN question was the action
of the Territory versus Evans and 9TH
ers, charged with committing an assault
upon girls, the allegation being that the
girls were forcibly dragged into a rear
portion of the Art Theater and as
sallted.
The court and jury wished to view
the scene of the alleged assault and
went in a body to see the premises.
While passing j. Carlo S place of bust
ness on Fort street, Carlo said within
the hearing of judge and jury: law,
they ought to let those fellows 90 and
send the girls to the reform SCHOOL,
The remark was taken as a caustic
comment on the proceeding of the case
and bench warrant was issued by the
Judge upon his return to the courtroom
When questioned as to why he made the
statement Mr. Carlo had no ready an
swer. He begged the court S pardon
and asked him to let him off, but the
judge felt that the matter justified him
in imposing heavy fine.
Then, when Mary Miller a fifteen
year-old girl, who is alleged to have
been assaulted by Evans, part negro,
was on the stand, she made several
statements which may cause United
States District Attorney Breckons to
take a hand and bring the Edmunds !
Act to bear upon the girl and VIII Pres F!
tidge, who is connected with the stage
department of one of the theaters. The
girl said she had been living. since the |
assault in the house of the latter man.
had occupied the same room and told
the judge and jury several things about !
herself and the man. The testimony
was vile and showed that not only |
this girl, but her companion. two years |
younger, had become the victims of men
older than themselves, and they were
being carried down the road to ruin at !
a rapid rate.
