Boys' Corn Clubs Are Prodneing tine Yields, According to Martin, Columbia.?"Such good work is being done by the corn club boys throughout the South that it would not surprise me if Jerry Moore's fa mous record in corn growing is beat en this year." This statement was made by 0. B. Martin, who has charge of the boys' born club work in the South. Mr. Martin is in Columbia in attendance upon a conference for the discussion of several important features of the National Corn show, to be held in Columbia in January and February. The conference is being held in the office o*. George H. Stephenson, gen eral manager of the exposition. One of the main topics under considera tion is the first exposition for school boys, which will to a most striking and decidedly unique feature of the show this coming year. Others present are J. B. Hobdy of Alabama, who will be superintendent in charge of this scbol; C. B. Haddon of Clemson College, vyho has charge of the boys' corn club work in South Carolina, and W. L. English,-superin tendent of the extension work at Clemson college and State demonstra tion agent.. Mr. Hobdy is assitant in charge of the hoys' corn club work in Alabama, with headquarters at Au burn. Mr. Hobdy's experience especi ally fits him for the management of this school. The exposition 9chool will be com posed of prize winners in the boys' * corn clubs in every county in the 1 Southern States, and the attendance upon it is expected to reach at least 1,000. . . During the past few weeke Mr. Martin has traveled extensively in the South and has given particular at tention to the work of boys' corn clubs. He said that prospects were excellent for some large yields, and for records showing high production of corn at low cost. That the famous record made by Jerry Moore of this State, who grew 228 bushels of corn on one I acre, in the growing of corn, might I be broken by some farmer boy in a j Soutnern state was among iue in teresting suggestions made by Mr. Martin. U. A. Smith, Bridgeton, Ind., had kidney trouble for years, and was so crippled with rheumatism he could not dress without help. He started using Foley Kidney Pills, and says: "I be gan to get better at once, and now all my trouble has left me and I do not feel that I ever had rheumatism. I rest well at night and though 59 i years old, can now do the work of a man of 35 years. I would like to be | the means of others getting benefit |{ from Foley Kidney Pills." Refuse ; substitutes.
