Cotton Has a Rival.
The opening up of the vast
Diairie laniL of the American
West sixty >tars ago upset agri
culture balances all over the
world. Today that section pro
duces more corn and wheat, prob
ably, than at y other territory of
similar size nt the world.
Compared to this in importance
is the opening now of Southern
tai ming lai.us for the cultivation
of corn, 'the figures this year,
showing the enormous increase
in the production of this crop in
the South, indicates that in time
to coine corn and cotton will
rivals in Dixie.
Outside of Florida and South
Carolina, the United States De
pariment of Agriculture estimates
that the Southern States will pro
duce almost eight hundred million
bushels of corn this year. This
is one hundred and seventy-six
million bushels more than last
year, and a quarter of a billion
more than the average for the last
five years.
Naturally, the growing yield of
corn in the South means more
swine, cattle and sheep, especially
the former. It means more pack
ing houses ana million of dollars
saved to the State that heretofore
have gone across the borders for
grain. It means more independ
ent farmers. It means a more
prosperous South. —Macon News.
