The.50 cc*.:t'.3t~ iv> increased the South'? rorr p-od :c*t'VTi by millions of dollars during the past few years. H. G. Hastings, chairman 01 me a.&riculturai committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, has renewed for 1914 his annual offer of corn club prizes in South Carolina and nine other Southern states. Mr. Hastings offers $1,200 in prizes. Of this amount $100 goes to South Carolina in three prizes of $50, $30 and $20 each. These prizes-are awarded under the direction of the United States government officials in charge ol the farm demonstration work. Word comes that the South Carolina bovs are going to make a power ful effort this year to regain the Southern record, which they held in 1012. but which was taken away from them in 1913 by Alabama. The South Carolina record of 228 bushels, held by Jerry Moore, was beaten by 232 bushels, raised by Walker Lee Dunson of Alabama. An interesting echo from last year's contest comes from Arkansas, where the $50 prize, offered by Mr. Hastings, woe wnn hv a 14-vear-old girl, Miss Delphine Moore, who competed against 2,400 boys, because there was no girls' club in the state. The corn club work has made wonderUil advances throughout the South. The fathers of the corn ciub boys, who first looked on ihe movement as a fad, have at last come to realize its great practical vn'ue and are now just much interested as t&eir **]as W" .
