CORN CROP is THE
LARGEST EVER KNOWN
YIELD OF PRINCIPAL CROPS OF
THE COUNTRY is FORECAST
BY THE GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The 1920
corn crop promises to be the largest
in the history of the country by more
than 9O,0O0,000 bushels.
A yield of 3,216, 1872, 900 bushels,
compared with the previous record
production of 3.124,746,000 bushels
in 1912, is forecast by the depart
ment of agriculture from condition
of 89.1 on October l. The yield
would exceed that of last year by
practically 3O0,000,000 bushels. Kan
sas, Nebraska and Missouri will con-
tribute practically all of the increase.
Warm and dry September weather,
from widespread killing frosts, aided
the maturing of the late crop, and
during the month the prospects for
this year were increased by 85,00O,-
900 bushels. The frosts near the end
of the month did little damage and
the great bulk of the crop is now
safe on that score, government ex-
perts said.
Wheat Returns Poorer.
Spring wheat is threshing out
poorer than had been forecast be-
cause damage principally from rust
had proved greater than anticipated.
The yield was estimated today at
100000 bushels less than was
forecast month ago, this loss reduc-
ing the combined winter and spring
wheat yield to 750,618,000 bushels,
about 180,000,000 bushels below the
big crop of last year.
Threshing of oats confirm the ear
lier forecast, the indicated yield be-
ing 1,111,362,OO0 bushels, almost
0O,000,000 bushels more than last
years yield.
Although the tobacco crop showed
loss during September of 75,000,-
900 pounds in the expected yield the
forecast of 1,478,788,0O0 pounds is
100000 pounds larger than last
years production.
A bountiful crop of potatoes also
was forecast, the yield being esti-
mated at 4,486,000 bushels, an in
crease of 100000 bushels since
September /.
Production Forecasts.
The forecasts of production this
estimated from their condition at
October / or at time of harvest, an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture as follows:
Spring wheat, 218,007,000 bush
els; all wheat, 750,648,000 bushels;
corn, 3,216,192,0O0 bushels; apples,
34,287, 900 barrels; peaches, 44,523,-
900 bushels; kafrs, 139,503, 900
bushels; peanuts, 29,217,000 bushels;
beans (six states), 9,364,000 bush
els; oats, 44,362,000 bushels; bar
ley, 191, 100000 bushels; buckwheat,
5,532,000 bushels; white potatoes,
,986,000 bushels; sweet potatoes,
103, 10000 bushels; tobacco, 1,478,-
$4,000 pounds; flax, 11,704,000
bushels; rice, 52,298,000 bushels;
sugar beets, 8,970,000 tons.

Tests at the Georgia Experiment
Station and at experiment stations
in other states have proven that the
time of digging sweet potatoes has
much to do with their keeping and
eating qualities.
1t has been the practice for grow
ers to wait until frost kills the potato
leaves before harvesting. This was
based on the theory that it required
frost to "drive the sap out of the
vines and potatoes into the ground. "
before the potatoes were ready to
harvest. This practice has undoubted-
ly been responsible for the loss of
many potatoes in banks and storage
houses, becaue sweet potatoes dug
after the leaves are killed are apt to
be "waterlogged," and thus difficult
to cure and keep.
Under normal growing conditions
the potato plants take water from
the soil through the roots, use what
they require, throwing off any ex-
cess moisture through the leaves.
This process is well regulated by the
potato plants as long as the leaves
are alive and healthy, but when the
leaves are seriously injured by dis
ease or are killed by frost they can
not throw off the excess moisture.
The potato roots being in the ground

self, and two years ago began to buy
surface rights. 1t paid $2,500,000
and today owns the majority of lots
and buildings in an area of more
than eight city lots.
Town Forced to Move.
After these purchases were made
it became necessary to acquire new
location for the village One mile
away was the central addition, own
ed by the mining company, and this
site is to be that of the new Hibbing.
All frame buildings in good condition
have been transferred, and brick
buildings are to be removed next.
Structures that are in poor condition
are being torn down. About eighty
dwellings, twelve frame buildings and
eight brick business blocks will be
"on the go" shortly. 1t will cost
$4,000 to move the city hall, the
largest building to be moved.
When the village authorities aban-
don the streets 100000 yards of wood
paving block laid seven years ago
will be removed and laid down in the
streets of the new location. Lamp
posts, electric light poles, light wires
hydrants, manhole rings, covers, fire
alarm boxes and trees on the boule-
ward will all go from the old village
to the new. The moving of the build
ings has been done by steam log
haulers of the caterpillar type, al
though garages and small buildings
have been moved with tractors.
A Modern City.
Moving day for Hibbing has not
been without it's reward. Among
buildings erected by the steel corpo-
ration in the new Hibbing is $780,
900 hospital and a $350,000 hotel.
The old Hibbing, a typical mining
town, is to be succeeded by mod
ern city with brick buildings wider
streets and more up to date conven-
fences.

DIG SWEET POTATOES BEFORE
THE VINES AR E KILLED BY FROST

and not injured by frost continue to
take up water and as the dead leaves
are unable to get rid of the excess
moisture it accumulates in the vines
and potatoes, giving them the social
ed "waterlogged" condition. This ex-
cess moisture in the potatoes makes
them more difficult to dry or cure,
even under the best of storage con-
ditions. The excess moisture also
makes them more subject to the at
tacks of fungi, like Rhizopus, which
causes large losses due to soft rot IN
storage.
Sweet potatoes planted in the
spring are mature and ready to dig
before danger of frost injury to the
leaves, and those planted later in the
season would keep better if harvest
ed while immature than if allowed
to stay in the ground until the leaves
are killed by frost.
The Georgia Experiment Station
advises growers to dig their potatoes
before the leaves are killed by frost,
but in case a grower is not able to
do so, he should try to get his pota-
toes harvested as soon as possible af-
ter frost, for the longer the potatoes
remain in the ground after the vines
are frosted the more ''waterlogged"
they become. ]. A. McCLINTOCK,

Mr.. Stanford was ~ years of age.
He was born in Cuthbert and the

three years experience in farming
and two years stay in Florida he was
engaged in newspaper work from
boyhood. For half century or more

he visited Wilmington to appear as
a witness at a hearing.
Following the trial, when the ele-

him to the first floor, where his wife
convinced him she had not been kid

HOLDS THREE MILLION
DOLLARS IN TRUST
FORMER SERVICE MEN FAIL TO
CLAIM MONEY DUE THEM
BY GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, D; C.-Formel
service men living in Iowa were ap-
pealed to today by two branches OF
the government to make efforts tc
get the money and liberty bonds they
are entitled to.
Though much has been done for
men who served in the army. and
navy during the war, there are thous-
ands of service men scattered
throughout the United States to
whom the government owes money.
Efforts to reach these men and re-
move the obligation have been unsuc-
cessful, largely because these former
soldiers and sailors have moved from
the addresses they gave at the time
they entered the ervice.
Government Holds 100000.
The total amount that the govern
ment is holding for these men ag-
gregates S3,0O0,000, large part of
which is in the form of liberty bonds
bought by the men during the war
and paid for at the rate of few dol
lars a month, deducted from their
pay.
Brig. Gen. H M. Lord, chief of the
finance section of the war depart
ment. said today there were 4,849
men who bought bonds while serving
in the army and asked the govern
ment to hold the bonds in trust until
after the war. Most of these men
seemed to have disappeared from the
face of the earth after being muster
ed out of the service. At least letters
sent to their addresses have been re-
turned and the government is still
holding their property.
The face value of the bonds so
held is S375,00O, and the accumulat-
ed interest now amounts to some
100000, Most of the bonds are of
the second liberty issue, when special
inducements were made to get the
service men to buy the bonds on the
installment plan,
AS to the navy, in the Office of
Rear Admiral Samuel MacCowan,
paymaster of the navy, there are re-
tanned pay checks and liberty bonds
amounting to 100000 that thus
far are unclaimed by former mem
bers of the. nations forces. The own
ers of the bonds are being sought by
Rear Admiral Cowie, who had charge
of the liberty bond campaign of the
navy department.
Sailors Checks in Waiting.
The retainer checks are made out
to those in the naval reserve, who
get a minimum of $12 year during
the period of their enrolment in the
reserve on inactive duty, There are
more than $4,000 of these checks
which have been returned because
the owners could not be found by
the postal authorities at the address
es the reservists gave upon entering
the service. The navy department,
therefore, asks every reservist who
is not receiving his check regularly
to communicate by letter to the navy
allotment officer, retainer pay sec
ton, navy department, Washington,
D. c. The former sailor should give
his full name, rating in which en-
rolled, date of enrolment, home ad-
dress at time of enrolment, retainer
pay received, and present address.
The navy promises to Immediately
forward all moneys due.

absolutely no excuse for this wasteful
practice. yet YOU see these piles quite

Manure should be spread evenly on
the field as soon as possible to get it
there. America has a serious fertility
problem confronting her farmers, and
Rusk county can keep away from that
trouble by starting now to preserve all
fertility that is made on the farm. y
