WARREN G. HARDING.
Despite the efforts of Senator Bur
ton’s Cuyahoga county delegation to
stampede the convention for Nicholas
Longworth, and George B. Cox’s every
effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown,
the Dayton man, a combination of
‘‘progressives” with the national ad
ministration men broke up the fight
on the third ballot. Then Cox, yield
ing to the inevitable, cast the 91 Ham
ilton county votes for Harding, and
that finished it.
For treasurer of state, Rudy A. Ar
cher, of Belmont -sounty, . defeated
Richard Gilson, „of Steubensyille, by, a.
vote of C28 to 438. ^
U. G. Denman, of Toledo, was re
nominated for attorney general by ac
clamation.

BRIGHT. PROSPECT.
Agricultural Conditions Most Encour
aging In Southern States.
With 26,277,000 acres planted in
corn this year, being an increase of
1,535,000 cfver 1909 and 2 J76,000 acres
over 1908, the farmers of Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor
gia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi are furnishing very
substantial proof of the fact that the
South Is constantly devoting more at
tention to raising its own food sup
plies. These figures are from the last
report of the Bureau of Statistics of
the U. S. Department of .Agriculture.
Each state showed an increase over
1908 In 1909 and an increase over
19^ in. 1910. The condition of thi?
yew’s crop as reported by the depart
ment shows the states of the South
leading the country, Mississippi being
first, Alabama second and Georgia
third.
The great increase In the acreage
devoted to corn is considered one of
the most hopeful signs in the South
today. In a letter to the directors of
the Southern Railway Company, Pres
ident Finley said:
“The increase in the acreage of corn
accompanied, as it is, by a quite gen
eral adoption of improved cultural
methods, is one of the most encour
aging features of Southern agricul
tural progress. It is one of the re
sults of a general movement through-
mit the South in the direction of di
versified agriculture—a movement
which we are endeavoring to encour
age and as55ist as far as we can prop
erly do so.”
As the farmers of the South ^ in
crease their yield of com, they will
save enormous sums which they have
been spending in the West for food
products and will consequently them
selves realize mcrre from cotton and
other ^arket crops.
