Greenville, Aug. 4.-That a Green ville county corn club boy stands a splendid chance of raising the cham pion acre of corn in the State, if not in the South, and thereby eclips ing the record of Jerry Moore, was the opinion voiced today by Clemson col lege experts and Senator B. R Till man. Special Agent C. B. Haddon, of Clemson college, Senator Tillman and other parties made a trip today in the upper section of Greenville county, for the purpose of inspecting one acre of corn being grown by Edgar S. Ber ry, a 16-year-old lad living on the farm of J. R. Childress, of Greenville. The experts viewed thoroughly the acre of growing corn, made calcula tions as to the possible yield, took photographs of the corn and made ar rangements for having the corn meas ured, weighed and analyzed for mois ture. At the conclusion of his inves tigation, Mr. Haddon said that the most conservative estimate that could be made of the po.sible yield was two hundred bushels. He further stated that the corn was the best that he -had seen in the upper section of the State, and surpassed the famous corn on the farm of Judge J. S. Fowler, of Anderson county. "There is a strong probability," said Mr. Haddon, "of the yield exceeding that of Jerry Moore's prize patch." A conservative estimate of the number of stalks growing op. the acre was placed at 14,000 and there are from one and one-quarter to two. ears of corn on every stalk. The acre was planted with two varieties of seed, the Hastings Prolific and the Marlboro varieties. BISHOP 0. P. FITZGERALD DEAD. Southern Methodist Church Sustains Great Loss.
