Good Start Made in a Most Important Work For the Boys of Newberry ied County. 1er af- With every prospect for a success ful year, the Boys' Corn club of New are berry county was officially organized, ule and there was a very good enrolment ow of boys for the start. The meeting for the purpose of or ganization was held in the court C. house. Mr. W. H. Barton, district an- agent of the Federal demonstration ary work, and Prof. C. B. Haddon, head of the school boy work of Clemson to college, were present, and delivered na. addresses in which they spoke words an of encouragement to the boys, and gave valuable information along the led line of improved farming. rs. County Superintendent of Education I a E. H. Aull was appointed county >w.. chairman of the club, and will have ike charge throughout the year. on A statement was made on behalf ,rst of Mr. John B. Mayes, president of the Newberry chamber of commerce, offering a prize of $100 to any boy in was the Newberry Boys' Corn club taking me a prize at the National corn show, to t a be held in Columbia in January. 1913. urt In addition to those who have al ready enrolled, a large number of it boys are expected to enter the club, to and the lists will be kept open until lay the first of March. Lnd The following have enrolled: Thomas Hayes, Newberry No. 7. J. G. Lowman, Prosperity No. 1. ty J. P. Lowman, Prosperity N. 1. .nd J S. Harmon, Jr., Prosperity No. 1. ful Arthur E.

Each boy is to work a full acre of otcorn and report 'on the samne next fa asending in his report to Mr. Aull. .Any ly land may be used in making this corn. 1yThere is no special method, fertilize. ll or culativation; however, specific in alstructions will be given the boyz through bulletins sent out fronm the department of agriculture at Wash srs ington. Ea.ch boy who stays in the2 on, club throughoust the year, makes a re )-port of his work, and sends in a ten k. fear exhibit to the County Corn show old will be given a boys' corn club but in ton. This is a plain button with a 1d four-leaf clover in the centre, and the words, "Boys' Corn Club" in gold let ita ters on it. This will be given regard re less of how much corn was made. yEach boy is urged to send an exhibit ngof corn to the National Corn show in ry Columbia, in January, 1913. Special iy low rates will be given to the boys ith who attend this show, and a special n-corn club day will be given. The teachers of the county are especially gurged to enlist all boys in their ngschools, between the age limits, in t'ie e club. Any information or instruction it in regard to the club may be obtained vs by w riting Mr. Aull, or any others ce connected with the club. :r- lt was a matter of regret that, ow ust. ing to a delayed train, Mr. Long, rep wsresentative of Dr. Knapp. who is in charge of the farm demonstration inIwork in the South, did not reach the -r meeting in time to deliver the address his which he had accepted an invitation to ;er make. nd Mr. Barton, district agent of the .i demonstration work, in his address, edd stressed the importance of the boys' pa- corn club work in the South, and re ferred to the fact that the North and West are stuClying it, with the view of ntroducing it -to those sections, and ayy that represen-tatives from Brasil, m-e Great Britain and Europe have recent se ly sent representatives to this coun t- try to study the farm demonstration eswork with a view of introducing it tointo their territory. He said that any t y Ieffort to reduce the cotton crop to a normal acreage would not succeed until the farmer is induced to plant aId something else on a part of the land to now devoted to cotton which will pay the'as well as, or better than, cotton, and ws at the same time increase the fertili al- ty of the soil, instead of robbing it of for its fertility, as is now be.ing done in iS the production of cotton alone. The ndd speaker gave startling figures show >re ing the fertilization removed from the odd soil of Newberry county by the grow ndd ng of cotton alone. He urged the od lanting of cover crops, the raising of ndd hogs and home supplies, the raising hee of cattle, and rotation of crops, both ht as money producers and in order to ch increase the fertility of the soil rather done when cotton alone is grown year after year. He said that Dr. Knapp, the farm demonstration leader, claim ed that the Southern soils are capa ble of making eight hundred per cent. more profit than they are making at present. Dr. Knapp was not often in error, and he was a man who not only told the farmer what to do, but how to do it, and then went a step further and made demonstrations on indivi dual farms. South Carolina, he said, had shown in several instances with in the last four years how the clover crop alone could he increased four hundred per cent. Free fertilizers and independence for the farmer, instead of his being dependent and a mendi cant at the doors of the fertilizer fac tories, was what we wanted, he said. He estimated in dollars and cents how much good it would do to put clover, vetch, etc., alone on the cotton lands in the fall and turn this in in the spring. COUNTY TEACHERS' MEETING. Miss Rudd to Address Gathering on February 10-Teachers and Trus tees Urged to Attend. The next County Teachers' associa tion will be (held at Newberry high school building at 11 o'clock on Sat urday, February 10O Miss Elise C. Rudd, field agent of the State School Improvement asso ciation, has accepted an invitation to talk to the teachers at this meeting, and it is very much desired that there shall be a full attendance. The trus .tees will aiso be interested in this talk of Miss Rudd, as she deals with, and her work is connected with, the rural schools. The county superintendent of eau cation would be very much pleased to have a full attendance of the trustees, and after the teachers' meeting is over he would like to have a conference with -tihe trustees and have them talk over and discuss any matters connect ed with the improvement of the rural schools, and to make any suggestion that may occur to any of them to bring about an improvement of condi tions. No special personal invitation apar.t from notice in :the newspapers will be sent to the teachers and trustees for this meeting, but th-e county sup erintendent hopes that every trustee and every teacher in the county, who can poss'ibly do so, will be present at, this meeting. It is the purpose of the county sup erintendent in making his visits to the schools, which he hopes to commence very soon, to have the trustees and patrons meet him at the school for a friendly talk over conditions and to have the patrons ,and trustees make any suggestions that will be for the betterment of .the schools. Wherever possible, he hopes to induce the trus tees and patrons to organize a Rural School Improvement association in each district. 1~ * * NEWBERRT'S CHAUTAUQUA. * *~ * Arrangements for Newberry's Chau tauqua are now in process of perfec tion. Nearly all the guarantors of last year have voluntarily signed for this year's program. Many letters of inquiry have come to the officers of the association asking how our first Chau tauqua was m'ade so successful. The only answer is that our people gave the enterprise enthusiastic and united support. We are expecting the same kind of support this year. It is thought best not to carry the list of guarantors around this year1 for signatures as it is possible to miss some of the very personS who might desire to sign. The list may be found at Mayes' Book store where any one who desires to join the association may have the opportunity to sign it. The Chautauqua association ha held two meetings the past week, and -n each of them a spirit of enthusiasm and confidence was niafiifested, and there is a unanimous determninti1n to make the June Chautauqua the b@st program that will be booked in South Carolina this summer. Henry Lee Dean, President. A Big Sale. Beginning on Saturday, February 3,! at 8 a. in., R. H. Anderson & Co., Will 'inaugurate a -nine days' sale which promises to bes one of the biggest af fairs of the kind ever pulled off in Newberry. Of especial interest are the specials which he offers for a few m~inites at certain hours. HE is ad vertising bargains in all lines of his big stock, and he promises that dry goods, clothing, and, in fact, every thing will go at prices heretofore un hea of in Newberry. TO AID THE STARVING. Appeal to Newberry County Through Red Cross-Dr. Geo. B. Cromer Representative in Newberry. Acting upon an appeal from Presi d':nt Taft, of the United States, who is also president of the American Red; Cross, President A. C. Kaufman, of C the South Carolina State board, Amer ican Red Cross, has issued an appeal to the people of South Carolina, for ( aid for the hungry Chinese. The ap peal calls attention to the fact that'C there are starving millions in China. C In this Christian era of the world, it would seem that there could be no < greater sin than for those who hav? C been blessed with even a little of the; world's goods, to 'refuse to aid to the extent of their ability in tie wark of seeking to save human beings from starvation. Dr. George B. Cromer, of Newberry, is secretary of the State Red Cross board, and will re;eive contributions in Newberry county. The people of South Carolina can hardly realize conditions in which for the lack of food people are starv ing to death. This is an appeal. which ought to meet with a hI'3.rty response.l President Kaufman, iii his card to the people of the St.e, says: "All of us should contribute. Give something. If you have much. give of your abund ance. If you hav. lirr.'e, do thv dili gence gladly to give of that little." It is a stern duty which calls to those who have. It is an appeal which will bring into play the final test of I Christian citizenship. Dr. Cromer will immediately for- I ward contributions to the proper place. ! SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION.
