tional Corn Exposition In Columbia
"The New Corn Belt" includes the
nine Southern States east of the Mis-
sissippi river end south of the Poto-
mac. This folder contains much in
formation Of interest and value, a
small part Of which we quote below:
Figures in the December number
Of the Crop Reporter, issued by tie
Federal Department OF Agriculture,
show that the nine Southern States
east of the Mississippi and south Of
the Potomac produced in 1912 corn
crop Of sos, 5000 bushels, worth
$314,740,000 at prices paid farmers
in that territory. Compared with
the report Of the 1900 census, when
the crop of 342,464,737 bushels in
the same States was worth $137,O79,-
603, the latest figures show an in
crease Of 1872, 2,670,263 bushels, worth
practically $17S,000,000 more than
the earlier production.
THE greater yield in the South
east has followed an increased acre
age given to corn and a steadily in
creasing acre-yield. The general de-
velopment Of this agricultural region,
stration work, and further helped by
the educational efforts Of the rail
roads, has had a large share in stim-
ulating attention given to corn.
Prominent among the reasons for the
increased acre-yield has been the or
ganization of boys corn clubs and
annual corn shows in each Of these
nine States. Comparative figures
show that the increase in the aver
age yield per acre over the 1900 rec
ord, in 1912 alone amounted to
S1O3,981, ,221. Four hundred and
hfty-four members of boys corn
clubs in the South in 1912 made over
100 bushels to the acre.
And this in section of country
which, but a few years back, i'm
ported probably not less than rs per
cent of the corn consumed at home!
How ignorant we have been Of the
possibilities of our great section!
How ignorant we are still! True,
we are beginning to realize some
thing Of our possibilities, but the
realization is dawning slowly.
We were struck with the sage OBJ
servation of Ocohee's Senator when
he viewed the Corn Exposition in CO.
speaking Of the scarcity Of
visitors from this section: "And the
most important and imp ressive lesson
they would learn is that there Is no
country Ike the South-in two re-
spects at least: Her opportunities,
and our failure to embrace them"
The South to-day promises more
to the agriculturist than any other
section. The trouble Is that we are
waiting for others to come to our
own doors and show us the very
things that we ought to have known
years ago from observation and ex-
perience.

GUARD MOUNT IN
ARMY ABANDONED
Tournament to Give AtIantanS
Last Chance to See Old Sen
tlmentaI Ceremony.

one OF the most attractive features Of
the Fifth regiment tournament next week
will be the ceremonial ld-style guard
mount, put on for perhaps the last time
in Atlanta. with all the sentimental de
tails dear TO the hearts of soldiers.
The new army regulations have cut all
the beauty out Of the guard mount cere-
mony and left it d barren business for
Inality Of the day. The fact that the old
guard mount will not be witnessed many
more times here or elsewhere will make
its presentation at the armory during the
tournament doubly interesting.
The ceremony is completely formal
The band first marches out on the parade
ground lin this instance the arena) and
takes position, playing a stately march
all the while Then the sergeant major
and adjutant march out all alone on the
field and take up their respective posi-
lions. Next the guard squad from each
company marches out. and each detail,
headed by first sergeant, reports sepa
rately. After each detail has halted,
dressed in line and saluted, the sergeant
majors sword flashes, and he reports to
the adjutant the band playing all the
while.
Then, as the men stand motionless, their
spotless rifles and accouterments are in
spected, after which, while the band
still plays, they all passin review be-
foret he officer of the day. Then they
go to relieve the old guard. A descrip-
ton OF the ceremony, however, gives only
a faint idea of its dignity and beauty.
The three companies of the Fifth regi-
ment which will take part in this cere-
mony are Company E, Captain W. Fl
Leahy; Company q, Captain Eugene f.
Schmidt. and Company H, Captain John
w Quillian. Lieutenant W. G. Mills will
act as adjutant Lieutenant T. s. Bryson
will act as officer Of the guard, and Ser
geant Frank Pearson, Jr,, viii act as ser
geant major.
The Seventeenth United States infan-
try band will furnish the music.

A test vote was taken WHOA Com
missioner DenDy moved to lay his
own resolution, providing that the
present charter be taken as the basis
OF the new form, on the table. Mr..
DENLY explained that SO much mis-.
understanding had arisen as TO his

mission, IA to I, voted TO consider the
question without further delay The
seven who voted TO lay on the table
were Ahern. Campbell, DENLY, Ferris,

Mr.. DENLY expressed his gratifica.
tion that the motion, though he had
voted for II, had not carried, and
then brought up his resolution against
the commission plan. After nearly

The speeches OF those who op-
posed the commission plan indicated,
however, that rather radical re-
vision may be expected. Nearly
everyone spoke In favor Of smaller
board OF aldermen, though II Is
question whether tle board will be re-
duced to fewer than one alderman TO
a ward. and II is doubtful If the com
mission will permit the election or
aldermen at large. The four-year
term for mayor, commissioners and
council. will apparently be adopted.
The board OF estimates Is undoubtedly
doomed. and il looks as II the mayor
will be given considerable power over
