Montgomery, September 23.-(Special.)-
The average corn yield of the state is 60
ing to be 20 bushels this year, in the opin-
ion of J. A. Wilkinson, commissioner
of agriculture, who has been for sew
eral years taking a special interest in
this popular and profitable crop. In 1900
the average was about IA bushels, but he
estimates that there has been an increase
this year of at least 80 per cent.
With>the boil weevil at work and the
prospect good for the pest to keep on
making trouble, 1t is taken to be a wise
move to encourage corn. 1t has been
shown that hogs may be raised at great
profit, and that with corn at 100 bushels
TO the acre, as some are making 1t, hogs
may be raised and much money made
on them Oats having been become a
popular and recommending product and
wide attention given to grasses, Alabama,
as the commissioner sees 1t, is fast get
ting in shape to defy the weevil.

Gray and Reporters

Acting Gov. Henry B. Gray is an easy
mark for the reporters. Having served
his time as a member of the fraternity,
he knows the trials of the business, and
no cub need ever be afraid to approach
him on the hunt for news. In his rela-
lions to the city administration and the
business life of the city in Birmingham,
the acting governor has helped many
Woodworking newspaper man along the
road to success.
Governor Gray was with Henry Grady
on the Atlanta Constitution, and accom-
panied him east when he made his fam
GUS speech that attracted the notice of
the world. The governor came to Ala
bama in the early days of newspaper life
In Birmingham, and was for some time
in the business, his partner at one time
being former Gov William d. Jelks.
Hence 1t is that though banker and
having a great many lines out, the act
ing executive has never forgotten that
news gathering has a large part of his
good will.

on the streets here.
Cotton is opening rapidly and within
