CORN BELT MOVES SOUTHWARD Dr. Kupp's Report Shows Crops E and Increases la South. c Columbia, November 20:?South 4 Carolina's position as a cora-produc- a iog Commonwealth among the nine >' Southern States in which farmers' P1 co-operative demonstration work is conducted is shown by a bulletin ^ - V just received here, the compilation j P1 of Dr Seaman A Knapp, who heads ac his article: "Great Corn Belt Moving South." Dr Knapp is in charge of the demonstration work. at The nine States reported on are: Wi Virginia, North and South Carolina, ar <9?0 r g i a , Alabama, Mississippi, P1 Lc&isiana, Arkansas and Texas. Pl They show an increase in production m this year of 158,293,000 bushels of ar <Wn, which is 45 per cent of the to- cc tal increase for the entire country. ,s In average yield per acre in bush- ?* els, Virginia led the South with 25.5 Pl bushels, this being an increase over last year of 2.3 bushels. South iet Carolina's production, 18.5, is an in- Wl crease over her average for 1909 of ^ 1.8 bushels, but neither in average yield per acre nor in increased pro- w' duction does this State rank this *n year among the leading corn-grow- ^ ing States of the South. In yield for the current season she is behind gr Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, pi Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. In m' this respect Georgia alone made a ,s lower record, though the average ^ for Georgia is only 1-10 of a bushel in less than South Carolina's. In the sc matter of increased production over last year, South Carolina is excelled by Virginia, North Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and ot Texas. Arkansas and Mississippi ,n are the leaders, each having made a in gain per acre of six bushels. The C+o+svn n.kiitk foilorl tn show ?n in- P?

We hope the friends of The Record, when they come to town to do their trading,will patronize the business houses that advertise in this paper. Remember that without these liberal merchants, bankers and other enterprising business men,, the price of subscription would be at least $3 a year for such a paper as The Record. You'll find, as a rule, that the men who advertise are wide-awake and on the alert and can give you better bargains than those who do not advertise. This applies not only to Kingstree, but many live and upto-date business men of Lake City, Scranton and Greelyville recognize the pulling power of an ad in The Record. tf ! / wu x I ~ -I?, v..
