KNAPP AGRICULTURAL DAY
Schools of South Are Asked to Observe
November e..

Memphs-The 14s,0O0 teachers and
the 100000 pupils of the South are be-
ing urged by their educational and agri.
cultural leaders to assemble 100000
farmers, their families and friends in the
1900 school houses on Nov. 27 for an
hour, in order to survey and review their
ag cultural resources and achievements,
and to express their appreciation of the
services of one of their great benefactors.
Agriculture is worthy of this considera-
ton, for the farmers of the nation have
this year produced ten billion dollars
worth of crops to feed and clothe nearly
100000 people here, with surplus
for other nations.
Knapp Agricultural Day is the official
designation. The South wishes to honor
the memory of DR.. S. A. Knapp as the
founder of the demonstration work and
the boys and girls clubs. This is fit.
ting. because 1000 demonstrators are
making larger crops on their farms and
corn club boys are attracting worldwide
attention by growing more than 22s
bushels on one acre at low cost. The
| indications are that several of the $4,000
boys will this year break all records.

VIGOROUS DENIAL
SAYS HARVESTER AND q. S. STEEL

CLASHES WITH COMMITTEE
"Unmitigated Lies" and "Mere Hot Air
His Expressions-T. F. Ryan Gave
$45O,0OO to the Democraticc
Fund in 1904.

Washington.-Empha denials that

paign, or that any money had been con-
tributed to the fund by the international
Harvester Company or the United States
Steel Corporation, were entered BY Geo
w. Perkins, on the stand before the sen
ate campaign contributions committee.
The testimony of Mr.. Perkins bristled
with such expressions as "unmitigateu
lies" absolutely false" totally unfair
and mere hot air." He denounced
charges made by Senator Penrose and by
Charles D. Hilles, Republican national
chairman, demanding that Senator Pen
rose be made to prove his assertion that
$3,O0O,O00 was unoerwritten for the
Roosevelt campaign.
Throughout most of his examination
Mr.. Perkins was in wrangle with some
member. Time after time he waved
clenched hand in the air and declared the
committee could not get away with it."
As he grew indignant under cross-exam-
ination the witness would rise in his
place, glaring at the committee and ges-
ticulating violently.

he shouldcred S350,0OO OF the debts OF

HIGH PRICES HAVE
REACHED THE Crest
STATEMENT-BASED ON REPORT Of
SECRETARY WILSON.
BUMPER CROPS PREDICTED
Crop Increase Will Make Up to Farmers
Reduction in Prices = Says This
Years Cotton Crop Will Be Lar
gest ON Record.

Beverly, Mass.-In statement based
on reports from Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, President Taft declares
the wave of high prices for food has be-
gun to subside in this country.
"The wave of extremenly high prices
for food throughout the civilized world, :
read the presidents statement, "has
reached its height in the United States
and is subsiding,"
According to the announcement Of the
White House officials, Secretary Wilson
made an investigation of the causes OF
the prices and the effect of the bumper
crops in the United States upon such
prices.
The report promises that the price Of
meat will decrease notably on account
of the bumper corn crop and after cat
tie, sheep and hogs fed from that croT
reach the consumer.
Secretary Wilson advised the president
that on the nine great crops of the coun'
try, corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat, potatoes, faxseed and hay the
October / prices indicated saving tc
the consumer of about nine per cent.
The crop increase will make up =
farmers however, reductions in price. Mr.
Wilson shows that while the return te
the producers on Oct. l, 1911, amounted
to s3,s6s, ,OOO, 900 at the prices prevailing
Oct. of this year, their return will b'
$4. .454, ,O0O, 900.
Mr.. Wilson's report shows that tn
wheat crop of the year is nearly 100,
OOO, 900 bushels greater than last year
and says that one high grade flour il
costing at the mills 80 cents a barre
less than it did year 60.
On potatoes there will be saving 0
nearly 500, 900, 900 in the cost. of living
On October l the producers were gettin
51.1 cents bushel for potatoes, the II
vestigations showed. as compared wit
ss.3 cents year ago. The consumptio
of potatoes is 35O,Ooo,o0O, the repor
states.
This years cotton crop is the larges
on record, and although the price on U
tober 1 was above last year it was 2.
cents less than the price of two yeal
ago and the new crop may bring redu
ton in the cost of cotton goods.
