C. road from # McBee to Jefferson has been sold to the S. C. W. and that the road will be extended to Monroe in the near future. It is impossible just at this time to give any positive information aboirt the proposed move, more than to say that it would seem that there must be some truth in the report as engineers are at work surveying between McBee and Jefferson . it is claimed for the purpose of straightening the road. It is nedless to discuss the advantages such a road would give to Pageland, Jefferson and other points along the line.?Pageland Journal. A erporter for The Courier asked Mr L. A. Kerr, president of the C. M. & C. Road, one day last week if the report was true that a movement was on foot to sell his road to the S. C. W., and he informed us that there was absolutely no foundation to the report. A survey, is being made, however, along the line of the C. M. & C. for the purpose of straightening the road, and for no other purpose, or at least, just at this time.?The McBee Courier. .NEWSPAPER LAW. 43oes into Operation October 1, next.

Many boys who do not write go ahead and gather their corn but j make very inaccurate measurements of both corn and land. The method used is as follows: Weigh every bit' of the corn in the suck. After the total weight is found weigh two lots of 100 pounds each from different parts of the total. Suck and shell these two lots and weigh the shelled corn in order to find "the average percenage of shelled corn. Multiply j the total weight by this percentage and divide by 50 in order to get the total number of bushels. All the above should be done by two disinterested witnesses. It is not necessary to have the land surveyed by a regular surveyor, but simply measured by the two witnesses, who may use an ordinary tape. The acre should contain only 4S40 square yards. Where the yield- goes above 100 bushels per acre an additional rule, will be necessary: On the day of weighing take a fair sample of 1-21 gallon of shelled corn and mail the] same in a moisture-tight package to the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration office, Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., together with a certificate of the total weight and the per centage of shelled corn. The department will have a moisture test made of tne sample ana me weignt moisture test, and percenage of sheled corn, determine the official yield. The moisture-tight package or vessel will be furnished by applying to the Extension Division of Clemson College. They can be mailed under frank, thus using no postage. Any yield of 100 bushels or more will not be recognized unless the above rules are strictly carried out. Blanks for making the report of the crop will be furnish ed by boys. Any boy who has not yet received the blank may obtain one by writing o the Special Agent Boy's Corn Club, Clemson College, S. c. Envy provides the mud that failure throws at success.
