New High Marks for
Corn Production in South
BY RALPH SMITH,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTA. October Tile cam
paign to induce farmers Of the south
to plant less cotton and more corn
has been startling success this sea-
son. The farmers Of Georgia raised
the largest corn crop in the history
Of the state this year Tennessee
farmers broke all previous records
and Mississippi also set new high
mark according to estimates from
reliable sources. Georgia's corn pro-
duction this season will total 91,400.-
900 bushels, Tennessee exceeded that
with 95.0O0.O0O bushels and Mississippi
raised 92.00O,0O0 bushels.
These bumper crops will result in
greatly increased meat production
throughout the south. AS facilities
for marketing corn are inadequate.
the crop will be used largely to fatten
cattle and hogs. Lack of marketing
facilities has resulted in formation Of
several companies in this state to
build and operate grain elevators.
This will further encourage corn pro-
duction.
Business generally in this section
continues to show steady improve
ment. Wholesalers and jobbers here
and in other distributing centers have
been agreeably surprised by the vol
ume of business in all classes Of COM
modities and by Improvement in COL
lections.

in the building trades are 40 per cent

FALSE PRICES FATAL.
NEW YORK. October Retail

NEW YORK, October 7.-RetaiIers
who take advantage of the price un-
certainty of the present market to
raise prices to a fictitious replace
ment level are following policy
which will prove suicidal. according
to the Dry Goods Economist this
week. 1t says:
with prices in some lines appar-
entity stabilized, and with advance
occurring in others. there will be a
tendency on the part of the less far
seeing and broad-minded retailers to
feel that they can take advantage of
the situation and proceed. as they
did in wartimes, to boost their prices
to what they will call replacement
value"

viscount Mayeda and viscount Aoki
Of Tokyo, Japan, both very prominent
members Of the house Of peers, were
considerably surprised, as were their
friends, when they received elaborate
mourning cards announcing their
death. The cards were gotten up In
the usual formal style employed on
such occasions, chief mourners, among
them Premier Hara. were named, and
everything was in regular shape ex-
cept for the fact that the persons
whose deaths were announced were en-
tirely ignorant Of their decease.
The authorities In Japan do not
take Jokes of this kind. however. and
after a searching investigation 1t was
found that the perpetrators OF the
hoax were members Of political or

Flying Gas Cloud.

Readers may be relieved to know
that it is travelling away from us, but
even If 1t were coming our way there
would be nothing to fear. as many

How it manages to remain intact
while travelling at such dizzy speed
Is mystery. Equally mysterious Is
the manner in which 1t was able to
get up such speed.
The most probable explanations are
that 1t has been shot from some g.
gantic sun belonging to a universe OF

that it Is a gradual accumulation Of
gas or gases which ultimately will be
formed into stars such as we see
