Jerry Moore. Hero.-The dictiona

Jerry Moore, Hero.-The dictionaries
would draw a fine line of distinction
between a hero and a benefactor.
While admitting that either might be
the other. or beth, they would insist
that a hero must have run a risk OF
getting hurt,
So the dictionaries don't always
speak the public tongue-for in ev-
eryday talk thing is heroic if it is big
and useful enough, whether 1t was
dangerous or not.
The dictionaries would say that Jer=
ry Moore, of South Carolina, aged .fff-
teen, is benefactor, if they fully un-
derstand his work and are as fair as
they ought to be in giving credit.
Jerry Moore Is the boy who pushed
the top limit from so bushels, or
thereabouts. up TO a2S bushels on the
yield of an acre OF corn. Jerry just
now Is the boy who has grown more
corn to the acre than anybody else In
the United States-but five years from
now he may be the boy whose exam
pie showed everybody else how to
grow 22S-buShel corn.
And growing 22S-bushel corn Is he
roic. 1t is capturing forts and selling
nations and changing the map of the
world. 1t Is wiping out pestilence and
putting out fire and famine and pre-

SOUTHERN CROP VALUES:

south sS74,3O2,443, says The Manu-
facturer's Record in this weeks is
sue. The same crops-corn, wheat
tobacco. hay, oats, Irish potatoes and
rye-yielded in 1910 in the south
$427. .444,000. In the first decade OF
the century their value has increas-
ed at the rate Of 1043 per cent in the
south, and at the rate of S5.3 per cent
in the rest of the country.
These seven crops, with rice and
prodhcts of the sugar cane, have an
aggregate value of quite 1896, ,000
which suggests that cotton, approach
