new CORN BELT is
TITLE FOR SECTION
Recently Given Nine Southern
States

Columbia, S. c., Feb 3.-"The New
Corn Belt" is the title which has been
accorded the nine Southern states east
of the Mississippi and south of the
Potomac. This honor is given the
South in an attractive folder just is
sued by the Southern Railway Com
pany, which is being distributed among
visitors to the National Corn EXPOSE
ton here. Figures in the folder, COM
piled from latest official sources, give
new proof of the increasing importance
of the South as a corn growing sec
ton and fully substantiate the claim
given this wonderful section as t lie
New Corn Belt"
Figures in the December number
of the Crop Reporter, issued by the
federal department of agriculture,
show that the nine Southern states
east of the Mississippi and South of
the Potomac produced in 1912 a corn
crop of 05,135,000 bushels, worth
$314,74O,0OO at prices paid farmers
in that territory" says the folder.
Compared with the report of the
1900 census when the crop of 342,464,-
1877 bushels in the same states was
worth $137O79,603, the latest figures
show an increase of 162,67O,26S BUSH
els, worth practically $17S,OOOOOo
more than the earlier production.
"The greater yield in the Southeast
has followed an increased acreage Civ
en- to corn and a steadily increasing
acre-yield. The general development
of this agricultural region, aided by
federal and state demonstration work
and further helped by the educationai
efforts Of such railroads as the South
ern, which maintains a corps of agri-
cultural experts, whose services are
at the command of all the farmers
along its 7,OO0-odd miles of territory,
has had a large share in stimulating
attention given to corn. Prominent
among the reasons for the increased
acre-yield has been the organization
of boys corn clubs and annual corn
shows in each of these nine states.
Comparative figures show that the
increase in the average yield per
acre over the 1900 record in 1912
alone amounted to $1O3,9S1,221 Four
hundred and fifty-four members of
boys corn clubs in the South in 1912
made over 100 bushels to the acre"
In addition to the wide circulation II

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND THE JUDGES

In address at Santiago Chie Mr. Roosevelt spoke of judges in the United States irresponsible law makers with strong natural bias against every species of reform legislation for social and industrial relief and fair pay'

AN UGLY COMMENTARY

The statement of Governor Floss that out of 10000 in the prisons of Massachusetts approximately 10000 not there for crime whatever but only for poverty is rather indictment of the penal system of the state Governor Foss says the unhappy condition has developed because judges have thrown into jail persons too poor to pay small fines entered against them.
 The statement will not satisfy and women of culture and refinement will it do away with the utter namy of the practice of the judges of Massachusetts.
 appalling to believe that in state of Massachusetts, culture with it's great centers of learning and fine public schools that 10000 really innocent persons kept Jail they poor pay the small fines imposed by courts.
 What good purpose served by keeping these people in jail? Most of them maintained in utter ieness and at big cost to the people, Why should not be wiser to give them their freedom certain stipulated conditions, that they will at least have chance to their vings That would be economical humane and harmony with the best approbaed opinion of penologca students
