While we are talking about this com championship we want to rise to ask again the unanswered question "why do not the farmers all over the country make use of the same means of cultivation of corn that the boys who win these prizes use? We can see no use of walking a mule and a man to death to make a small yield of corn on a large; number of acres by the old plans j when a greater amount can be made on a very much smaller acreage, and not working man and mule into the grave. Jerry Moore tells us that the corn he made on his prize acre cost less than the other corn made on the plantation, but the plantation is still run on the same , old expensive plan and 999 out of 1.000 plantations in the State are . run in the same way, and we are < ' willing to bet that the McDonald plantation will be run on the same plan next year, though it may be seen that the corn made on this ontdi \f If urnrn mnUln1lo#4 Kv two nr 11 iw nvic UlUlVlffllVU U/ I.TTV V/ three, would be all that was wanted > and corn that ooats 33-1-3 cents a bushel and sells for $1, or even less looks like mighty good profit to us. We want to see that farmers exchange established in this county, and then there would be more of all this sort of things raised, and the farmers would be better off and the whole people would be better off.

Tate, inspector of ymentary rural schools, has been ? the county for several days in>ect!ng the schools of the county, (e delivered an address in Dillon Aiturday advocating the principles which he hopes to see inaugurated ,in the country scfiools.

Also that they should adapt their work to the community which they serve; that they should have expert supervision through a | competent supervisor, and that the standard of the rural teacher should be raised, meaning that more oollege folks should hold these important positions than at present. ne birtiswQ ine iaci mai ir me rural schools were what they ought to be there would not be the influx of the farming people into the town, thereby depriving the country districts of a splendid citizenship, which it so much needs. 84 DEAD AND 5 RKSOUED.
