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. Yes, we have prepared to take care of your wants for the cold winter months that are ahead.
