In 1914 South Carolina planted L..
925.OOO acres in corn, producing 36.-
$4,000 bushels, or 1872 bushels per
acre. Wisconsin,, in the same year,
planted 1,725,000 acres, producing co.
53S,0O0 bushels, or 1872 bushels per
acre. Although South Carolina plant
ed 250,000 acres more than did Wis
consin the latter state made 33,324 900
bushels more corn--almost twice as
much as this state.
This is not as u should be. We
should be able to make as much corn
per acre as any state. The question
are two principal ways to increase
our average and under our conditions
both are necessary. The first step
lies in improving our land by means
Of thorough preparation. increasing
the supply Of humus, and using COM
mercial fertilizers intelligently. The
second step Is the Improvement Of
seed by careful field selection. 1t has
already been demonstrated that our
improved lands are capable of maxi
ing from 40 to more than 100 bushels

Daily Stock Letter.

copyright 1915 by The New York
Evening Post.1
NEW YORK, March 24.-The ad-
vance in prices which began vigorous
ly yesterday, continued today; with
noteworthy broadening of the list
of shares dealt in. Active stocks
which today gained a point or more
were numerous: one or two moved
ahead even more rapidly. such as
Union Pacific, which advanced three
points. The check to the continued
rise in the afternoon was partly due
to profit taking sales-based on the
belief that the movement has been
rather rapid. but also to n feeling
that the further prices rise, the
greater will be the prospect Of Euro
pean liquidation. Foreign exchange
moved erratically. Sterling recovered
more than u cent, then lost nearly
all the gain.
There was little general news to-
day. To what extent the astonishing
figures Of February's foreign trade in
fiuenced yesterdays market may be
doubtful The statement was not
published Until shortly before the
markets close. But it clearly had
hand in the rise.
