“Figures in the December
number of the Crop Heporter
issaed by the federal department
of agriculture, show that the
nine Southern states e^t of the
Mississippi and south of the
Potomac produced in 1912 a corn'
crop of 505,185,000 bushels,
, worth $314,T40,0C0 at prices
paid farmers in that t^jrritory, -'
says the folder. “compared
with the report of tlie 1900 cen
sus, when the crop of 342, 404-
737 bushels in the same states
was worth $13'i,079,603, the
latest figures show an increase!
of 162,670263 bushels, worth
practically $178,000,000 more
than the earlier production.
“The greatest yield, in the
Southeast has followed an in-
creased acreage given to corn
and a steadialy increasing acre-
yield. The gerierai development
of this agricultural region, aided
by federal and state demonstra'
tion work and futber helped by
the educational efforts of such
railroads as the Southern, which
maintains a corps of agricultural
expert.8 whose service are at the
command of all the farmers
along its 7,000-odd miles oi terri
tory, has had a large share in
stimulating attention given to
to corn. Prominent among the
reasons for the increased acre-
yield has been the organization
of boys’ corn clubs and annual
corn shows in each of these nine
states. Comparative figures
show that the increasa in the
average yield per acre over the
1900 record in 1912 alone amoun-;
