CORN CROP SHORT.
SCROP ENORMOUS
Farmers viii Harvest Five
Billion Dollars, 269 Millions
More Than in 1912

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-With a total
quantity OF agricultural products %
per cent less than in 1912, the years
gross revenue for the farmers will be
per cent more than last year, ac-
cording to a bulletin issued by the
Orange Judd company. which pub
fishes several agricultural papers.
Total value will be $1,000, coo, 900, or
s26s,ooO,oO0 more than a year ago.
The reason for this extraordinary
condition is. of course. the high prices
per unit for several of the large cereal
crops. Corn, for example, will show
total volume of 20 per cent under
that of 1912, but with a value of AZ
per cent better will produce for the
farmers S100, 100000 more than year
ago.
The wealth the farmers will re-
ceive for their decreased tonnage"
says the report, also has these two
decided advantages: Less labor and
expense will be required for harvest
at time when farm help is scarce
and high.
only the decrease of about 5o.o0o,-
600 tons in the weight of these staples
Will enable American railways to
move the crops of 1913 without a
veritable breakdown OF the trans
portation system, in view OF the
heayy tonnage of other freight and Of
passenger traffic caused by the re-
sumption of good times
Inc shortage in new corn is not
disaster. 1t is a blessing In dis
gaise., For. with over 400,000,00
bushels of old corn on hand October
J., the aggregate supply OF maize this
autumn will be some 2,750, 600, 600
bushels. This just about equals the
corn supply following the harvest Of
yield was 1850, 100000 bushels and the
supply Of old corn was then only
about one-fourth as large as now.
The wheat output will be the
greatest in quantity and value in the
eonntry's history and the value for
potatoes $244. 000, ,000-S40 000, 900 more
than last year-breaks all records

States Senator jeff Davis died sudden-
~ at his home here at one O'Clock this
morning as tile result of an attack of
apopleSy.
Besides being a picturesque charact-
er in Washington during his one term
in tho senate which began in 1907. I'm
tied States Senator JEFF Davis had the
distinction Of being ,heonly man elect
ed to the governofship of Arkansas
three times. Previous TO his seven
years incuinbency as governor of his
state. Mr.. Davis had been prosecuting
attorney of the fifth Arkansas judicial
district and in 1898 was elected attor-
ney general of the state. n
Mr.. Davis was born i'm Little River
county, Arkansas, in 1862 and received
his education at Russellville, Ark,
and al Vanderbilt University,gradual-
! ng from the latter institution in 1884.
He was admitted to the bar the same
year and soon after began practice.
Senator Davis complained of feeling
badly early in the evening but the
family physician, who was called, did
not regard his condition as serious. At
midnight the senator called TO his son,
who was in an adjoining room, that he
was i'll, and TO summon physician. A
