CORN RECORD HELD BY SOUTHERN BOY Bouth Carolina Lad, 13 Years Harvested 228 Bushels in One Acre.

(Palladium Special) Chicago, 111.. July 3. W. L. Park, vice preBldent of the Illinois Central Railway Company and a member of the board of control of the 19th National Irrigation Congress, which meets here this year, is directing the attention of men interested in the congress to what ho declares is the best concrete example he has yet found of the agricultural value of the soil deposits in the areas of swamp and overflowed lands, of which there are practically 80,000,000 acres capable of reclamation.

The railway official's case in point has to do with the South Carolina boy, Jerry Moore, 13 years old, who last fall harvested 228 bushels of corn from one acre of ground, establishing a record for the year that made him the champion corn grower of the world. "This is a record," Mr. Park said, "that will do more for agriculture than any other accomplishment of similar nature during the last decade. But how did this boy obtain his enormous yield. Simply by going Into the swamp near his farm and taking 200 wagonloads of the rich swamp dirt, which he scattered over his field the first winter. This he did that winter merely as a means of fertilizing his land. The second winter he made up his mind to go after the corn raising record, for which a good prize had been offered, so he took 300 wagon loads of swamp dirt the second winter and put it on his field. Following that, in the spring, he put forty-five wagonloads of manure on the field, then double plowed the field to a depth of fourteen inches. All that remained after that was for the corn to grow up, ripen and mark a new record for acre production. Shows Possibilities. "The simple method followed by young. Moore makes easily apparent the crop growing possibilities of our wamp soils and, what ia far more important, the reclamation possibilities of our cwamp and overflowed localities. There is room in these swamp areas for thousands of farm homes, as reclaimed swamp land, somewhat like Irrigated land, is capable of such production that a small acreage is sufficient for one farm home. We estlmato that the population of this nation will be 150,000,000 people by 1950, and I believe myself that it will be more than that. For this reason we can see the necessity of furthering swamp land reclamation, as well as all other methods of peopling the localities where fertile lands are non-producing, for these homes will all be needed in years to come. The National Irrigation Congress, long of great influence in the West, now has launched a farreaching movement by its resolutions passed at recent sessions looking towards definite help for the states containing large areas of swamp lands and by so doing it further establishes itself as a body of national importance, it already having won that place through its efforts and results for the West." Young Moore, who sent to Washington where he met President Taft and other government dignitaries after he had been awarded the corn growing prise, has prepared what government experts who visited his marm declared was the best seed bed they had ever seen for his next year's crop. On this Held he is to attempt a greater harvest next year than the prize winner Cf 1910.

PERILS OF MARRIAGE. Young married people have many obstacles to overcome before they reach the smooth pathway which experience will provide. The young housewife finds her most difficult problem in keeping things "shipshape" for "hubby" returning from his day's endeavors. Hewitt's Easy Task soap, pure and white, lessens her labors one-half and gives the sparkle and glow to the china, glassware and silver which gives an impetus to the appetite of a man who has forgotten this most important matter in his every day toil. Try it at five cents a cake. Just as cheap as "cheap" soap.

CURIOUS BLUNDERS.

The Anachronism, That Crowded a Once Famous Poem. The medieval romances are full of blunders, making contemporaries of meu who were separated sometimes by hundreds, sometimes by thousands, of years, but as historical criticism had not theu a being and the general Information of the age was not superior In any particular to that of the novelist their plans do not amount to much from a literary point of view. Such an Instance is tbo case of Ariosto, who might be supposed to know something at least of the truth of history, but whose once famous poem, "Oclando Furioso." is a tissue of historical absurdities from beginning to end. In this poem Charlemagne and his peers are Joined by Edward I. of England, Richard, earl of Warwick; Clarence and the Dukes of York and Gloucester; cannon are employed hundreds of years before the time of Monk Schwartz, and the Moors are represented as established in Spain In spite of the historic fact that 300 years elapsed after the death of Charlemagne before they crossed from Africa. In one place Prester John, who lived 400 years after Charlemagne, and Constantine the Great, who died five centuries before blm. are introduced and hold familiar converse with the great Charles, while in another Salad In and Edward the Confessor are Joined by lie R'aok Prince.

MARITIME EXPRESSIONS. Used In a Metaphorical Sense They Are Quite Common. Maritime expressions used metaphorically are, in fact, very common. We say a couple are "spliced," a young man Is the "mainstay" of his family, an intruder "puts his oar in." a man is "hard up," sometimes "taken aback" or has "the wind taken out of his sails," a toper is "slewed," a loafer "spins a yarn," sometimes "tries the other tack." and a ruler "steers the ship of state" through troublesome times. Thts last metsphor Is extremely ancient, by the way. Horace refers to Rome as a ship at sea. and Plutarch says the Delphic oracle referred to Athens In the same way. A Tamil saying embodies a like metaphor. "The soul is the ship, reason is the helm, the oars are the soul's thoughts, and truth is the port" An old collection of English proverbs contains this one: "The tongue is the redder of our ship." A Malay maxim says, "The boat which Is swamped at sea may be bailed out. bat the shipwreck of the affections is final." Aristophanes. Plautus and others ns an expression which comes down to ns as an English saw, "To row one way and look another." An old English preverb (G14) was. "It Is not good

The decision of the circuit court that the Union Pacific's control of the Southern Pacific by stock ownership does not contravene the Sherman anti-trust act is a development of distinct importance. It removes a barrier that has existed for some time, preventing the open, concerted operation of non-competitive lines to transportation. Coming at this time when court rulings have been so uniformly against formal co-operation among our great industrial and railroad combinations, It will exert a steadying influence on the mind of the investor, as it is direct evidence that the courts may be depended upon to protect

property interests as faithfully as they do public interests. The sharp advance in the stock j market price level that accompanied) the decision received somewhat of a' check, however, as a result of thei week's additional and conclusive evi

dence of the disposition on the-part of the administration to continue to probe the current methods of our large industrial corporations. And there ia evidently substantial ground for the belief that until after the presidential election of next year both of the great political parties may be depended upon to make as great a spectacular display as possible in the direction of appealing to popular prejudice by attacking trusts in less dignified language of continuing a "trustbusting" campaign. Each political party is jealous of the other in this connection and the one in office is hardly likely to leave any stone un

turned that will permit important advantage to be taken by a competitor! in the approaching political campaign.! Thus, we have still in sight a period

of unsettlement. There has this week, for instance, been the action of the local Federal grand jury in filing criminal indictments in the case of officials and corporations (including Steel Corporation subsidiaries) in connection with the wire price agreement

of some years ago; and this follows' similar information connected with in-!

vestigations of the steel corporation's cement activities. The bureau of corporations today furnished to the president a report giving the result of its studies into the iron and steel industry in this country. In this report the commissioner, Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, presents statements to show that the steel corporation is a much greater dominating influence, though chiefly as a result of its ore resources, than has been generally supposed. The report as a whole is favorable to the corporation, but it will nevertheless constitute what may be termed a textbook for campaign orators of both political parties to denounce "trusts" during next year's presidential campaign. Thus, we have before us in this direction incentive for no little irregularity in the market for stock exchange securities. On the other hand fundamental influences are certainly favorable and the outlook, therefore, suggests a period of active fluctuations that will constitute an ideal and protracted market for traders. Looking at the more favorable influences that present themselves, we have in the first place what are undeniably excellent crop prospects. Rains in North and South Dakota have measurably improved the spring wheat harvest outlook. An excellent winter wheat yield is already assured, and corn, while still subject to the vicissitudes of weather, is thus far in good shape. Cotton gives every promise of a satisfactory yield at excellent prices, resulting from an accumulated demand. Hay and oats are rather disappointing and will, therefore, stimulate the demand for corn as feed. But the harvest outlook, considered as a whole, certainly suggests another link in the long, unbroken chain of years

of agricultural prosperity. This means, in turn, a tremendous purchasing power for the. products of industry which cannot fail to show itself in general mercantile activity when the improved movement once really begins. Stocks of merchandise in course of distribution and in the hands of manufacturers are unusually light and must be promptly replaced. The demand from consumers has during the last

few months been restricted to day-today requirements and has been supplied out of stocks in process of distrigution both retail and wholesale merchants in their own purchases from first hands merely reflecting the limited demands for actual concumption. Thus our manufacturers wil be face to face in a short time not only with supplying the accumulated demand of consumers, but also with supplying in the ordinary channels of distribution products to bring supplies in these channels up to normal distributing proportions. An evidence of the continued abundance of money a feature that has been the primary cause of the steady advance that has taken place in the market level is the fact that accumulations of funds to pay the large semiannual dividends and interest disbursements have been made this year without an appreciable hardening in rental rates for money. The July disbursements at New York are estimated at about $235,000,000, some important part of which will unquestionably seek reinvestment in the stock market. But beyond this is the ability of the banks to finance these large trans

actions without strain furnishes good ground for belief that the crop requirements this year will also be quite as readily financed. Trade and industry are both gradually improving. Their improvement, however, will not be so sudden as to cause congestion in banking circles during tne crop-moving season. According to the present outlook, their demands for working capital will not assume sufficient volume to cause liquidation of securities that have been accumulated by the banks in order to release funds. It is very probable that the crops will have been fully financed before mercantile demands in their turn reach even normal

proportions. And should this reasoning

not prove entirely accurate, we still

ready to show themselves in the form of gold imports as soon as money rates justify the movement of the precious

York banks and trust companies to-

day are holding securities exceeding their holdings of a year ago by $10S,563,000. There is no incentive for these institutions to liquidate these holdings, for they could not utilize the proceeds to better advantage. The steel trade is improving, the industry now operating at about 70 per cent, of capacity, which is an increase of 23 percent, from last January. In the dry goods trade there is also evidence or reaction from the recent depression. As already noted, the prospects continue favorable for rapid and wide fluctuations. These will be based more imediately upon crop reports (since we have fully arrived at the period when crops are the chief day-today influence), but they will also be based upon the probable continuance of Governmental antagonism to combinations and on other developments at Washington, including tariff legislation which has recently shown signs of increased uncertainty.

A Cleveland womw with a reputation' as a borrower turned up .at the home of one of her friends the other morning with a much done over story about a persistent and threatening dressmaker and the usual request for the loan "pay it back tomorrow, certain" of $5. "Why, my dear, certainly." was the pleasant response to ner carefully rehearsed little yarn, "you poor thine, you! Just wait till I run upstairs and get my purse. She ran upstairs. The male head of the houne happened to be in the room where sbe kept her pnrse. lie saw her dig the purse out of a chiffonier drawer and deliberately remove a wad of bills from it. leaving about 37 cents in silver and copper in the change receptacle. The man was mean enough to lean over the stair railing when his wife went downstairs to the parlor with her flattened pocketbook In her band. "Oh. I'm so sorry, dearie." be heard her say, "but I really thought I bnd the money. I find, though, that Frank, as usual, has been nt my purse I heard him say something about settling a plumber's bill last night when I was half asleep and the mean thing has left me only enough for car fare.
