That the Boys Corn club work in
Georgia was mainly Instrumental in in
creasing the states average corn yield
nearly two bushels per acre during last
season. thereby adding over T,oOo.OOo to
the wealth collected from the whole crop.
is q startling statement which has be-
hind it the authority of Bradford Knapp,
chief of farm demonstration work of the
United States department of agriculture,
and of ]. Phil Campbell, supervisor or
the Boys Corn club work in Georgia
both of whom are prominent figures at
tending the Southern Corn show.
Dr. Knapp astonished his audience in
the auditorium with it Tuesday. 1t was
one of the many very interesting details
of his comprehensive and impressive adj
dress He did not go into details, declar-
ing simply that the yield per acre of
Georgia's corn lands was increased from
IA 1-2 to nearly 16 IL bushels during last
season over the season of 1910, and that
the state department Of agriculture's es-
innate of the 1911 crop shows an increase
of almost 100000 bushels over the 1910
crop.
In 1910, 65, 714,o60 bushels of corn were
harvested in Georgia. In 1911 the crop is,
according to the departments estimate,
"a, 232, 900 bushels. The increase is 100000
bushels in round numbers.
A bushel of corn is regarded as worth
on an average of 81 in the crib. The in
crease in Georgia's revenue from corn
is therefore approximately S,5O0.0OO.

BUSINESS OF COUNTRY
quite SATISFACTORY
Comptroller of Currency Re-
ports Steady Growth in
Volume of Business
CBy Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The general
business of the country, as reflected in
banking operations, was quite satisfac-
last, according to the annual report Of
Lawrence o. Murray, comptroller of the
currency, submitted to congress today.
Mr.. Murray records a steady growth In
the volume of business and the estab-
lishment of some high records in this
connection. He points out, however,
that while augnenting some of the i'm
portant elements of banking during the
year business did not reach the aver
age of increase in the past ten years.
DISHONEST BANKERS.
The comptroller makes the startling
declaration that "the dishonest prac-
tice by officers of national banks of re-
personal compensation for loans
made by the bank is a growing evil
and has already reached such proper
tons as to call for criminal legislation
on the subject"
I'm this manner" he adds, either the
bank is defrauded of lawful interest
Wn1cn IL WouiQ olneFWlSe receive OF
usurious interest is exacted of a bor-
rover by corrupt officer. A secret re-
ward to the officers is sometimes a de-
liberate bride for obtaining loan on
insufficient security"
Mr.. Murray urges that the taking OF
or other valuables in this con-
nection by a bank officer be made an
offense punishable by imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
The aggregate amount of assets of the
national banks increased during the
year approximately $5E3, 25S. 900 or 5.63 per
cent. Loans and discounts, the biggest
item in a banks resources, increased
only 359 per cent in the face of an aver
age ten-year increase of 652 per cent

BOYS CORN CLUBS ADDED
NEARLY $500 900 TO THE
STATES 1911 CORN CROP

sign the credit for this increase to the
boys corn clubs.
The increase of nearly two bushels In
the average yield per acre throughout
tn state would be difficult to ascribe to
a more logical cause.
The increase In Georgia's corn acreage
in 1911 over 1910 was hardly ! per cent
almost negligible. The acres that the
members of the boys clubs planted
would easily account for 1T.
Yet, with all her increase in yield,
Georgia is still at the bottom. Geor-
gia's 1911 average was about 16 1-2 bush
els to the acre. Mississippi made 49,
Arkansas made over 20, and so did Tex
as. Virginia made "a bushels to the
acre, and Tennessee topped the list with
259 bushels average for each acre plant
ed.
But the work of the boys corn club
movment has bgun to tell, and those
who are behind the big campaign feel
that they have ample ground for salts
faction. The yield will increase neyt
year, and next. they say, until Georgia
occupies her rightful place among the
corn-growing states. 1t was the only
state that increased its yield in 1911
over 1910. and excepting South Carolina
ii has the greatest yield Of any state
over and above its ten-year average.
In the corn club work, six boys made
an average among them of 1918 BUSH
els to the acre. at a cost of % 1-2 cents
per bushel, making their net profit $9S Is
on every acre. Ten other boys made los
bushels to each acre, averaging clear
profit of $63.21 per acre.

COURT REFUSES TO
HOLD UP TRIAL OF
INDICTED PACKERS
United States Supreme Court
Turns Down Petition of In

Sought Stay Order

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-The supreme
court of the United States today refused
TO grant a stay in the beef packers
trial in Chicago until the court would be
able to pass on the constitutional ques-
ton raised by the packers in nabeas
corpus proceedings
The packers are cited to appear TO-
morrow in the United States district
court at Chicago for trial on indict-
ments alleging criminal violations OF
the Sherman antitrust laws. Today's
action by the supreme court will per-
NIT the trial to proceed.
The courts decision was the final
step in a long legal contest to avoid
trial at this time. Shortly before they
were first cited for trial on November
20, nine OF he indicted packers sought
10 have the United States circuit court
at Chicago release them from custody
on the ground that the Sherman anti
trust law under which they were in
dicted was unconstitutional as crimi-
nal measure. particularly in view of the
recent Interpretation Of the law in the

ment is ready to proceed with the pack
