And to Make Money Growing It. Mr. E. R. Hipp Nets Nearly $40 to the Acre Less Expenses. We are pleased to publish in this connection the s:a-tement of the ex pense and the yield of corn on Mr. Edward I. Hipp's twelve acre field. one mile north of Newberry. Mr. Hipp has kept a careful ae count of rhe expenses and fertilizer and it will be noted 1that he has over charged in nearly every item of ex pense and under-charged hi the value of the corn and fodder. Even leaving the figures as he has them, it is a practical demonstration of what can be done in this county in the matter f raising corn. Mr. Hipp estdmates his corn at inei:y cents the ,bushel, while corn is selling to-day at one dollar the bushel. He puts the price of his fodder at one dollar the hundred pounds, while he could sell it all to day at one 'dollar and a quarter 'the undred pounds. He aiso charges off rent for the land at ten dollars the acre, and even with these figures as he has them the proff on the twelve acres is over four hundred dollars. If any other farmers in this coun ty have kept an account of the cost f growing corn, and the value of the product. The Herald an,d News will be glad to print the figures. We men tion elsewhere some very good yields of corn, but the expense account is not given. We do not believe it would pay to ,row corn in this count.v as a money crop. but from the figures given by r. Hipp we do not believe that he could have made as much money on a eotton crop even at ibe high price he could realize, as he has from the eorn erop. It will pay every farmer, however, in this county to grow all af the corn that he needs for his own farm, and this he can do on a very mall acreage if he will but properly fertilize and cultivate it. The farmers are beginning to real ize this more and more every year, and when they do. it will mean not only the growing of 'their own corn, but this fact means the growing of :heir own meat. I.t will be noted that Mr. Hipp has n expense accound, for peas but his pea crop was an entire failure, and ae real-ized nothing from it. The following is his statement of is expenses and his yield: STATEMENT af Expenses and Crops Gathered on Edw. R. Hipp's 12-Acre Corn Field Near Newberry.

Prof. Ira Williams. agent For the farmer's co-operative demonstration work in this State made an address in the comr. house on last Saturday to a fairly large audience. Prof. Williams said that he had long tried to meet with the farmers of Newberry county; that he had of ten heard favorable reports from thi-z county. Mr. Williams cong.ratulated our people on the handsome and com modious court house, but what he re joiced more to see among any people is good school house. well eqnipped for effective work. What every com munity needs is facilities for the ed ucation of its young people. We are not a wealthy people, e cause we have a few rich men, four strong banks, yet there are thousands of people who are not wealthy While many farmers in different sections of the county are making a great suc cess in their farm work, there are hundreds and hundreds of farmers who are not doing what they should for the preservation of their soils and building up the waste lands on their farms. Probably the greatest drawback in our agricultural advancement is the inefficient school work in our rural communities. Our ehildren should be trained in those t:hings which will help them in after life-what they as tillers of the soil will need in their work on the farm. In nine cases out of ten the education given our boys and girls is suited for some profess ion. We need to train the masses of the people for the life they are going to lead-our children should be taught pracLical subjects that will ei able them to make our homes better and more attractive to the farmerand his family. Mr. Williams has a deposit in one of the banks in Columbia, funds suffi cient to pay a lady teacher who can instruct her children as he wants her to do. Our teacheis are not trained in agricultural subjects and methods, but he cannot find one that can an swer his wishes. He wants one who can teach matters connected with the dairy - t.he milking of cows and their care, the making of butter and putting it on the market at low est cost-subjects connected with poultry and bees, and various other matters connected with the farm. What our schools should produce are boys and girls who can perform the practical operations of the farm so as to make the greatest profits. He can't find a man in South Cardlina, who can show himself proficient in such work. And the same way as to girls. The ob.ject of the farm demonstra tion work is to get t:he maximum .of rofits with a minimum of effort. Our system contemplates the uplift of the whole people. lAnother part of your work is the bys' corn elub-teaching the boy how to prepare his land for the corn, selection of seed, use of proper fer tilizer and euitivation. This will arouse interest among boys and will add greatly to our homes, to society and to our schools-the surest way to make this government strong and durable is to interest t:he boys and girls in the rural homes. One of the greatest menaces to the future sta bility of our government is the drift ig of our people from the country districts to t.he towns and cities. Mr. Williams said if he could,con tribute anything to interest the young people in their country homes and make them stay 'there he would feel that his greatest work had been ae cmplished.because when one does this he adds to the peace and happiness and prosperity of the country people, and that of itself would be a great result. These boys' corn clu,bs will arouse our boys to bring about the best re ults. Mr. Williams said his office will be glad to co-operate with anyone who wishes his assistance. Will be only too gla I to help any one and that he holds hunself and 'his assist ants ready to respond promptly and fully to any request. A rising vote of thanks was ten dered Prof. Williams for his excel lent and instru'etive address.

Mr. Jolm'L leinry Chappell. wllho had Ia fie iield 0of corn 1 hI plaCI Just 1west *)f New.berrv. but Which was damaged some by the dry weather in August. has gathered sixty bushels to the acre. which is not a bad yield. Mr. Dick Neal, wihose farm is just one mile west of Newberrv, and. who is one of the demonstrators. gathered from his field 59 1-2 bushels to the acre. LAnother farmer in No. 8 township reports that he gathered 40 bushels to the acre, aid on one acre with which he experimented by using 2.000 pounds of fertilizer, he rather ed 50 bushels. - This corn suffered very much from the dry weather in August, or the yield would have been much greater. Mr. Chappell says he has more corn i in his cribs now than he ever had be fore and he has plenty of fodder and hay and some good porkers to eat some of his corn. COL. PURCELL IN AUGUSTA.
