In other word*, South Carolina Is losing at least 3,000,000 bushels a year tnj the yield, owing to the poor quality of seed. Members of the association who breed corn along the lines laid down In the meeting will be able to guarantee seed that will be high producing.

In 1911 a comparison will be made between the corn that is bred up and the corn that has not been Improved, and the breeders who have made the greatest Improvement in yields will receive $500 in prizes in 1911 and $500 In 1912. This contest will be open to any farmer In the State who wishes to enter the contest. "The local agents of the United States farm demonstration work will assist the farmers who are breeding corn in knrveating the breeding plots and selecting seed for the coming year.
