The Corn Belt is
Slipping South.

The corn belt is moving south. No
longer must we go to Indiana, Illinois
or Iowa to find big corn yields. Corn
was once king up in that country, but
the king is extending his dominion
The announcement is made that the
south's corn crop this year is mag
nificent beyond compare" A total of
$50, 600, 900 bushels-or 100000, 900 bu-
shells above the bumper crop Of 1910
is the estimate which Southern Farm
ing places on the crop this year.
We have not seen the figures for
Florida, but Of this crop the state of
Alabama, just to the north of Florida,
will furnish $4,000 900 bushels. 1t is
estimated that corn will be worth 80
cents per bass e and at that figure
Alabama's crop will represent s5e.-
600, 900.
And an important feature Of this
corn growing industry is that, while
the northern farmer gets simply the
one crop of corn of his ground in one
year, the southern farmer gets a hay
crop in addition to his corn off the
same ground.
1t will not be long before corn will
hold an equal or greater Importance
In the south than cotton. The farmer
can already make more money growing
corn than growing cotton.

TOTAL OF THIRTY.sIx NEW COR
PoRATIoNs r oRMED DURING

Columbus, Ca, Oct. 1.-THE Indus
trial Index says In It's issue for this

gregating $1969,0o0 were formed In

These new corporations represent a
wide range of Industrial and general
business activity and enterprise. These
companies were organized for business
activities and not for stock selling,
organizations for the latter kind sell
dom being formed in the southeast.
Not included in these companies is
one which has been organized, but not
yet incorporated, with capital stock OF
81, 900, 900 to build a railroad through a
Florida section.
Notable in the reports for the week
Is the number Of land sales and the
MAGNITUDE of some of them. Chicago
investors have purchased and VIII de-
velop a tract of $1,000 acres in Florida.
Two thousand acres were bought In
another part of Florida and 5000 acres
in southwest Georgia were purchased

Pensacola's Import and
Export Business.

The newspapers Of several of our
seaport cities are very fond Of pub
nsh1ns the figures OF the commerce of
their respective ports; but only one
side OF those figures; for instance, our
PENSACOLA contemporaries set forth
with much gusto the amount of the ex-
ports from that portland say nothing
ABOUT the imports; and now comes
Key West and sings song Of exports
but again not a word about imports.
Exports without imports constitute but

Times.
Great guns! What Is the matter
with our Tampa contemporary any
way? Why should Pensacola suppress
her import figures? And when did our
cautious critic get the idea that we do?
These figures are always published
in The Journal and the Commercial
Association never falls to include them
in its port statistics. For the year
1912, the business done through the
port of Pensacola was as follows:

Selling Their Products

S6iftn0 nSlT FFOOuCIS-
The county solicitor Of Escambia
county, Florida, at Pensacola, says
that there is no law against hucksters
selling their vegetables, their fruits,
chickens, eggs and fresh meats, unless
they are buying same and specializing
in them. This is a good law: Instead
of putting a license on people bringing
their vegeta bles, chickens, eggs, but
ter, etc, to the city to sell them. every
well regulated and progressive city
should encourage them TO raise and
market their products in the cities.
More or less trouble has been exper-
fenced by farmers and vendors of
trucks in some place in this respect,
but most cities are now beginning to
define what may and may not be done
with reference to these sales on the
streets of the cities. Anything that is
raised on a farm, brought into q city
To sell by the farmers, and that is de-
void of the obnoxious speculative fea-
ture, should be allowed free commerce,
with no licenses or restrictions to
hamper the farmers. Any other plan
