SOUTHERN CORN
BEST IN QUALITY
SAYS BLAkESLEE
Mississippi's Commissioner
of Agriculture Announces
Results of Investigations.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 19.-Having
completed a careful investigation of
the relative merits of corn raised in the
North and in the South, white corn,
yellow corn, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Blakeslee is convinced that he has
proven to the satisfaction of every fair
minded man that the white corn and
corn raised in the South, is superior to
western and yellow corn. He gives
out the following account of the in
vestigations:
"There is an entirely erroneous i'm
preston in some quarters that our
southern grown corn is not as rich in
feeding nutrients as northern grown
corn and that yellow is more valuable
for feeding purposes than white corn.

sit might not be amiss to state right
here that DR.. Hands is generally ack-
nowledged throughout the United
States as a thoroughly competent
chemist and none stands higher in the
profession. His findings can be relied
upon without fear of contradiction from
any standpoint. The following tables
show the results from many samples
analyzed, the general averages of all
samples from each state being given:
