The table shows that each state
showed an increase over 1909 in 1915
The condition Of this years crop as
reported by the department shows
the states of the south leading the
country. Mississippi being first, Ala
bama second and Georgia third.
This great increase In the acreage
devoted to corn Is considered one OF
tho most hopeful signs In the south
today. In q letter to the directors of
the Southern Railway company, Pres
icent Finley called particular atten.
tion to these figures and said:
The increase In the acreage of corn,
accompanied, as 1t IL, by quite gen.
eral adoption Of improved cultural
methods, Is one of the most encour.
aging features of southern agricultur.
al progress. 1t Is one of the results
of a general movement throughout the
south in the direction of diversified
agriculture-a movement which VIC
are endeavoring to encourage and as.
sist as far as we can properly do
So"
As the farmers of the south In.
crease their yield of corn, they will
save enormous sums which they have
teen spending in the west for food
products and will consequently them
selves realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic au.
thorities agree in declaring the Am.
ican corn crop the basis of the coun.
try's prosperity since in such a large
measure the production of other
crops as well as the parry supply de-
pends upon it and greater yield OF
corn in the south consequently means
q greater share of prosperity for this

MADISON, Wis, March 25.-
"Cannonism without Cannon is just
as hurtful as Cannonism with Can
non." Is the sentiment expressed in

victory of the insurgents in the
rules fight is hollow victory. The
busting of the speaker from the
rules committee does not change

standing committees on legisla-

The real battle, as LaFollette
sees it, must be fought out at the
primaries and election between now
and November
The editorial is headed, The
Skirmish in the House."
What is the net result of last
weeks struggle in the house of
representatives? it begins.
"A resolution was adopted pro-
viding for the appointment of a
new committee on rules, of which
