SOUTH SHOULD INCREASE
ITS FOOD GRAIN AREA

The grain production OF the South last
year was almost exactly 200, 600, 900
less than the yield of the preceding
year, and much less than in a number
enormous world demand for foodstuffs,
Much OF this decrease was due to unfa-
vorable weather, but. nevertheless, the
fact stares us in the face that at a
critical time in the worlds food supply
the South had a shortage OF 200, 900. 900
bushels compared with the preceding
year, 1t Is doubly important, therefore,
that the South should strive to more
than make up that shortage by a larger
grain yield this year.
We do not all agree with Congressman
Heflin's prediction in this issue that a
larger. grain yield might a col
lapse In price, On the contrary, we see
no reasonable hope OF any serious de-
cline in the price of corn, and we be-
lieve that Mr., Hoover Is right in say
ing that II all government restrictions
we're taken off the wheat market the
price would advance beyond the present
government price. A wide-open wheat
market would cause a temporary break
until the worlds trade could adjust it.
self, and spectators would buy heavily,
knowing That they could sell at high
figures Just as soon as we can begin to
feed the hundreds of millions OF half
starving people in Europe.
We do not agree with all the reasons
advanced by Mr., Helm for decreasing
the South's cotton acreage, but we do
most emphatically urge that grain pro-
duction be made the prime factor in
Southern agriculture and a reduced
acreage be given to Cotton.
We would urge this as essential to the
best prosperity of the South, even IL
we knew cotton would command double

GRAIN MARKETS
Corn Takes Another Upward
Swing on Renewed Conf.
denCe Among Bulls.

CHICAGO, March 27.--Corn prices
took an upward swing today, which was
attributed to n renewal Of confidence
on the part Of bulls who had been dis
turbed temporarily by talk of d big
eXportable surplus in Argentina. Open
ing figures, which ranged from NC off
to INC advance, with May ti.49k to
$1.50 and July $1,3S% to $l,40. were fol-
lowed by material gains all around, but
then by q general sag.
Later Il sharp decline In the value Of
rye and barley brought about decided
weakness In the corn market. The
close was heavy, NC to &c net lower,
with May $l.4S to $1.4Sta and July $1.37
to Sl,37M.
Oats duplicated the action of corn.
After opening unchanged to sc high
err, with May 66hc to 66%c, the mar
ket scored a general moderate upturn
before beginning to fall back.
Provisions rallied with grain.
Subsequently tho market descended
again when corn turned down grade.

Chetwood a great deal smarter thar

NORTHWEST MINING NEWS.

The Consolidated Mining and Smell
ter Co. received S,402 tons of ore in
the first seven days of this month, ac-
cording to a report from it's smelter
at Trail, B. c. This may be compared
with 6,151 tons in the corresponding
period Of, January.
The Success mine, near Wallace,
Idaho, following the Hercules and
Tamarack mines, closed down Febru-
airy 8, owing to the unfavorable con-
dition of the metal market. The prop.
erty, which resumed operations last
August following temporary suspen-

drawn and the workings allowed to
fill with water. 1t was decided to pull
the pumps rather than to keep them

$4,000 during the previous shutdown.
Since starting up last August, the
price of lead has declined $50 ton
! and zinc $12 ton. Mining opera
tions are said to have been profitable

decreasing to the present low level
