ATTEND NATIONAL i
The citizens of this state are per- , agr
^ haps not fully aware of the signifl- I voc
Wu cance of the Corn Show, which is \
linl
now being held in Columbia. They 1{J ,
, have all heard of It as the Fifth Na- wjj
tional Corn Exposition, but proba * j(
have not realized how important q
Is that they should visit It, see f<
themselves the comprehensive ex- ma
hlbits there displayed and listen to gra
the explanations by demonstrators tke
from various parts of the Union,
who have devoted years of study to ly "
the subject of agriculture. Mr. E. tjG1
D. Funk, president of the National an
Corn Association, who is in Colum- au
bla for the great event Bays: "Not
only will South Carolina, but the
entire nation, be surprised at what
she will have presented to her peo- ^
pie during the Fifth National Corn
Exposition." Among the many rea- j,ial
sons why South Carolinians should ]
go to the show, a few are, to us, ]
most impelling. t
The first and highest motive <
which should prompt our people is un
their state pride, that genuine love . fro
for South Carolina which would
seek to place her first in every un- j^x,
dertaking. Columbia, our beauti- an(
ful capital, has been signally honor- by
ed by being the first Southern city we,
^ selected as the place for the holding eVf
of this exposition. Never before has the
the South had an opportunity of en- the
tertalning such a gathering.
The fact of our holding records lefi
for the greatest yield of corn doubt- '
less influenced the association in the
choosing our capital city. It is a Pli
well-known fact that a Marlboro cul
farmer holds the world's record in Ho
corn production, while Jerry Moore, cor
a Florence county lad, is the cham- Un
pion boy corn grower of the world, tod
Along with these achievements, per- Ea
haps less well known, but neverthe- sor
less of interest at this time, is the tel<
fact that a Lancaster man in 1882 ths
produced the largest yield of oats del
that has ever been made any wo
country. We are all Justly proud of Sir
these records but should not be con- to
tent to rest on our laurels. The eyes wh
of many people are resting on us on
this fortnight and our interest in it i
, the great agricultural event will be ad<
* measured largely by our attendance grs
^ upon it. South Carolina, though Eg
one of the smaller states, has al- int
ways taken a leading part in the affairs
of the nation and her sons i
should, every one of them, strive to rm
sustain this proud reputation by oro
making the corn show a pre-eminent we
success. Yo
The opportunity for self-improve- Mr
ment offers a second and very im? Wc
portant reason why South Carolin- of
lans should attend the exposition, wil
which has rightly been called an sio
"agricultural school." Twenty- rui
seven states have exhibits of their of
products and that of the United mi
States department of agriculture wil
is the largest and most comprehen- inc
slve the department has ever sent rui
out. Prominent agriculturists may lin
be heard from the platform, but gin
what will perhaps be of even great- vai
er benefit to the average attendant vis
are the practical demonstrations of low
the best methods in farm manage- pei
ment. Another lesson may be learn- tng
ed from the labor-saving devices on <
display, which, if used, will go far the
toward reducing the cost of produc- mo
tlon. Besides the various exhibits 8e\
and the explanations which the men
in charge take pleasure in giving, it wit
"t' will be an Inspiration to see the 800 v|s
^ boys who have won prizes for corn- Ha
growing in every part of the United an<
States, and to mix and mingle with Hor
man nf nfltor /-?o V. ^ *1?

"sturdy yeomanry; their country's 0f
pride." Farmers who attend will bill
be impressed with the difference be- hei
rf.^tween the old, worn-out methods rei
"nd fhe new, scientific ones, and
will return with a new determination (
to have better homes, better schools
and better conditions generally in v?
rural life.
Not only will the exposition be of <
educational value to the farmer, Poi
but it will open the eyes of those grc
of other callings and professions, acc
They will, of course, huve more phi
to learn about the various depart- po*
merits of farm work. We believe dia
they will see better than ever before Inc
their own dependence on the pro- the
Hy ducts of the soil* that they will am
V come to recognize the Importance aw
of agriculture in the life of the na- cor
tion and that with greater Interest p">
in every phase of rural ctivity, '
they will soon come to look upon wa
