Authentic mod Figure* Cert tiled und
Aceeptcd by l.o?al. stale mid Eed

Augusta. Ga.. Chronicle, Nov. 13.
The world's greatest yield of corn
fer 1913 has been made by Edward
Jackson Welborn. a boy under IT
years of age, of Morgan t'oiinty, in the
Augusta district.
Authenticated figures, t? 111tied to
and accepted l>\ 1... .il, state and fed?
eral authorities yesterday, definitely
placed him at the bead of the corn
growers of the nation. He made
1SL72 bushels of corn on a scant
scrs of land, exceeding his yield of
laut year by approximately twenty
bushels.
The corn was grown on upland, on
a lot used for dairying about ten years,
and was planted in rows three feet,
four Inches apart, and an average of
ilv* Inches in the drill. The acre con?
tained about 2ft,hmo stalks of corn and,
according to the authorities, it aver?
aged one and one-half ears of corn
per stulk.
Prof. J. K. Giles, as assistant State
agent in charge of the field work for
the State and federal departments of
agriculture, states that gS is of the
opinion that, with one more rain, the
yield would have gone to 250 bushels
per acre. Professor Giles, who is head
of the \s..rk under Prof. J. Phil Camp?
bell, acting under instructions receiv?
ed Tuesday, went into the report with
the most minute detail and last night
authorized the statement that the
yield would sand a.? official with his
department.
Corroborating the report Prof. W.
O. Acree, principal of the Kighth Dis?
trict Agricultural College; Prof. E, S.
Illrd, superintendent of schools in
Morgan coun*y; L. S. Bradley, sec?
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
at Midison; F. P. Almand and J. A.
Rogers, formet 1/ of the bureau of
surveys, have attested the figures and
certify that they are correct. Prof. J.
Walter Hen J -i' ks, district demonstra?
tion agent, and Prof. J. K. Giles both
declared they were personally satis?
fied with the figures, and Professor
Hendricks stated he was officially sure,
but Profesor Giles withheld his of?
ficial confirmation until he carried
out specific instructions from Mr.
Campbell, who Is In Washington, and
on the figures by a messugo trans?
mitted through Professor Acree to Mr.
McAuliffe, manager of The Chronicle's
Corn Show.
Highest MM Yield In the World.
This establishes the highest yield
scored up to date In the world for
ISIS and there is no doubt in the
minds of officials hut that this will
atand against all other figures for this
year. Three other hoys, all in Pi? U
ena county, Georgia, scored above the
150-hushel mark for the year, their
yields being 161 bushel-.. |f| Irish* Is
and 165 bushels respectively.

DANGER OF BUYING SAM) IN

Government Inspector! on Trail of
Those Who Adulterate Chickens by
Filling Them with Gravel?At
Twenty Cents a Pound Comes High.
Washington, Nov. 14.?' Look out
Cor sand In the chickens,' is the latest
slogan of the department of agricul?
ture and its sleuths who are on the
trail for violation of the pure food
law and the sale of Impure and del?
eterious food products.
The government inspectors have for
some time been investigating the prac?
tices of certain poultry shippers who
collect. Chickens from farms and kill!
and ship them in large quantities. In
some of these places the inspectors :
found that the practice was to take
the t hickens as they came from the
I
farm, nearly always below weight or
out of condition because ol their be?
ing ill-fed on the farms and handled:
roughly on the cars and keep them
In fattening pens for from three days
to two weeks. The chickens are fed
corn meal and water or finely ground
\ mixed grains and buttermilk. This
practice is becoming more and more
general and is highly desirable because
both quality and quantity of edible
tiesh is Increased, it is also profitable,
ns the cost of care, feed and interest
on the investment necessary to add a
pound in weight still leaves a good
margin of profit provided the fat?
tening is rightly done.
Not content, however, With adding
legitimately to the weight of the
chickens, some of these p ultry ship?
pers, a day or two before the chick?
en is killed, feed red pepp?r, which
makes the chicken have an abnormal
appetite, then they feed a mixture of
line sand and a little corn meal.
The chicken eats this mixture raven?
ously and as a result large juantities
of sand are introduced into the craw
and the intestines as well. This may
amount, in the case of a single chick?
en, to only an ounce or two, but where
thousands of chickens are sold the
aggregate charge for sand becomes
Important. It simply means that the
poultry dealer is selling sand to the
customers at the rate of 20 cents or
more per pound.
The housewife should scrutinize the
crops of poultry before buying and
make it very plain to her poultry
dealer or butcher that she will not
pay at the rate of 20 to 30 cents per
pound for an ounce ->r moro of sand
introduced into the body of a chicken
with the view of defrauding the pur?
chaser. In fact, .she could rebel
against food in the crop, because
quite aside from fraud, the presence
of food means that the chicken has
not kept as well as it would have kept
j had it been starved for 24 hours be
! fore killing. All reputable poultry
packers starve the birds before
slaughter( which results in empty in?
testines as well as empty crops. The
makeshift of cutting a slit in the crop
and squeezing out that food is not
satisfactory, because that does not
empty the Intestines. If the house?
wife Would have the poultry drawn in
her own kitchen she could catch
fraud! of this character and take
means to prevent them.
LEVER ON COTTON HI I,L.
Says Objections- of Mr. NevUle Could
Easily He Met.
The state.
Congressman A. F. Lever was asked
While In the city yesterday on his
way to Chester, where he will speak
today, it he would say anything about
the objections raised by Get rge w.
Neville, ex-president t.f the New York
Cotton exchange and now an active
and prominent member of it, in his
Interview In The state yesterday
morning to the suggestion about de?
livery Of OOtton at Southern point!,!
including Columbia, of cotton under
New York exchange contracts.
"Mr. Neville is mistaken," said Mr.'
Lever, "in his Opinion that the 'Smith-'
Lever bill1 WOUld prevent the making.
of Columbia a delivery point for cot?
ton under the exchange contract.
His objection that the government
standards include 'nine White grades'
is not tenable under the present clr
oumstancea The defeat t.f the Clarke
Amendment to the tariff bill disposes
til that td proposition.
"No bill is now pending in congress,
as I recollect, that Include! the prln-j
clple involved in the 'Hmtth-Lever'J
pr..pi.siti..n. While it is likely that
bills will be Introduced containing the
thought running through that propo?
sition, it is also likely thai in naming
such measure! eerlous consideration
Would be given to the inclusion of
provisions for the standardising by
the government of 'uplands, 'tinges'
und 'stains.' It' that assumption be
correct, it seems thai Mr. Neville's
objection as to the government stand?

?Bonsai Asks Franchise.
Charleston, Nov. 14.?The entrance
of the* Seaboard Air Line into Char?
leston was assured tonight when city
council granted to the Charleston
Northern railway a franchise for the
use of certain streets which leads to
the Seaboard Air Line terminal prop?
erty along the eastern waterfront,
and also rights of way through streets
at the northern end of the city that
give a course to the Ashley river for
the purpose of trackage to a contem- |
plated tteel bridge that will connect j
Charleeton with Savannah along the!
new lines planned.
Tho Charleston Northern railway,;
tacitly admitted to he a branch of the
Seaboard Air- Line, must furnish bond
of $150,000 to the city by December,
1 to guarantee beginning of construc?
tion of its trackage in the city by
January 1, to he completed within 18
months. The franchise granted also j
provides for a right of way along the
east waterfront for Carolina, Clinch-1
field & Ohio tracks, provided the |
Carolina, Clinehfleld & Ohio shall start
building operations within three years.
I Charleston assumes a cost of possibly
$75,0<M? by action of city council to
j night. This is to pay for the con?
demnation of property necessary to
give the Charleston Northern railway
the right of way petitioned for in con?
junction with the Carolina, Clinehfleld
& Ohio, it being estimated that pos?
sibly $50,000 will cover the cost of
securing the Charleston Northern rail?
way right of way through certain
streets along the east frontage and to
Ashley river.
For several days the Charleston
I
j Northern railway proposition has
been under consideration of a special
committee of city council, and plans
had been perfected for action at the
meeting of city council tonight.
The Seaboard Air Line has long
desired to enter Charleston and owns
valuable property on the waterfront.
! Recent report has said that local bus?
iness men have disposed of an addi?
tional track bordering on the Bea
j board Air Line property for a magnlfi
i cent sum. Mayor Grace declared to?
night's action of city council is history
! making for this city, for the granting
! of the Charleston Northern railway
rights of way in Charleston means the
entrance of the Seaboard Air Line.
It is understood that the Seaboard
Air Line and the Clinehfleld are work?
ing hand in hand on the Charleston
\ terminus plan and that the two lines
j will connect and divert to this port a
tremendous volume of freight.
The ?rant made tonight includes
both the Seaboard and the Clinehfleld
Under certain conditions, making the J
way easy for these two lines to enter
' Charleston. Right of way from An?
drews to Charleston, it is understood,
have been generally secured.
Tho Charleston Northern railway!
was recently commissioned and now
awaits the grant of its charter by the
State. It is the last link between Char?
leston and connecting Seaboard Air
Line, although they may be called by
other names.
The franchise granted tonight by
council will coincide with the length
I of the State charter secured. Messrs.
I Bonsai and Duist represented the pe

cided that the federal pure food law
was inadequate; that it should be re?
pealed and another statute substitut?

attack was the section which permits
the use of a guarantee label by manu?

This was declared misleading to the
public as making it appear that the

A committee of five, including Dr.
Geo. B. Taylor of Louisiana, was ap?
pointed to urge congress to pass a new

fix standards for all foods and drugs.
That section of the federal pure
food law regarding the use of coloring

was condemned. It was decided to
urge a new section which would
closely define what compounds may
be used.
A clearing house in the department
of agriculture for information regard?

The conference started a movement
