CONR YIELD OF SOUTH

In Georgia Has Grown From Averaue
Of Less Than 10 Bushels in 1900
to is Bushels This year.

How fast the South is moving in
the matter of corn production is in
dictated by comparing our average a.
ere yields fifteen or twenty years ago,
In 1900 for example, the average weld
in Georgia and South Carolina and
Florida was less than 10 bushels per
acre. This year Georgia reports a
Ii bushel average, Florida, Is and
South Carolina 10 bushels. In 1900
North Carolina and Alabama averaged
10 bushels per acre; this year Ala.
bama reports 16 bushels and North Car
DINA 20. Neither Tennessee, Virginia
Arkansas nor Mississippi averaged
20 bushels in 1900, but this year Ten
nessee averaged % bushels, Virginia
20, Arkansas "a and Mississippi 20.
The American average this year is
26.4 bushels per acre. A little more
pushing and the South will be recog-
nized as really in the Corn belt"

the purpose of discussing matters in
cident to the appointment of success
sor to Henry M. Oldefest, who resign
ed as assessor to become member of
the city commi ssion. DR.. Fred Graf

ed this morning that the meeting had
been delayed because Of absence from

asked that the session not be called
until his return DR.. Graf1und did not
know this morning whether or not

Purpose of the meeting" declared
DR.. Grafund, lis not to make the ap-
pointment, but rather to thresh out
the entire matter. The board is divid-
ed, some members being in favor of
the appointment being made at once
and others desiring to wait until after

We are still uncertain as to the legal
ity of delaying the appointment"
DR.. Graf1und declared that he was
heartily in favor of letting the Repup-
lican voters designate their own can
didate at the caucuses and have the
board make its appointment accord
ingly. The only persons who might
object to this plan would be aspirants
who realize the hopelessness of land
ing the Job were it left to the people
to decide.
