The 6 acre com improvement dem
onstration conducted this year by Mr.
George P. Watts in cooperation with
Clemson Extension Service deserve?
the consideration of farmers all ovei
Kershaw County. This particulai
demonstration is selected because of
several reasons. 1st. it has been con
ducted on a very practical and con
servative basis; 2nd., the results art
absolutely correct; and 3rd., the costs
connected with producing this corn
are all considered.
The corn planted is Douthic Prolif
ic. It was planted in the furrow 01
May 14 to 27. In preparing the land
$4 is charged for man labor and $4.6C
for mule labor; for making seed bedi
$2 is charged for man labor and $3.2E
for mule labor; for planting, $2 ij
charged for man labor, 75 cents foi
mule labor and $3.10 for seed corn
' Eight cultivations were given dur'mj.
June and July costing $4 for man la
bor and $2.80 for mule labor. N>
fertilizer was UBed under this con
but 200 lbs. per acre of nitrate o?
soda was used as a side dressing ir.
July with man labor for applying at
$1.20 and the soda costing $23.80.
The most important feature of this
corn project is the fact that this corn
followed Austrian peas which were
groWn on the land preceding winter
plowed under ahead of corn $1 is
charged for hauling fertilizer to the
vesting 5 acres of corn.- The total
cost, for production is $67.80. 180
' shucked ears of corn were required
to make a 70 lb. bushel. There was
an average of 680 acres of corn
counted on 6 hundred feet of row.
840 stalks of corn were counted on
the average BOO ft. row. The aver
age width of com rows is 60 inches.
The yreight of shelled com from 70
lbB. bushel after 80 days drying is B6 ,
lbs. Total number of bushels of corn '
on the 6 acres is 268.60 bushels. Total
value of corn at 60 cents poi* bushel if
$161.10. Deducting the $67.80 cost
a total profit of $98.80 is shown on C
acios. 21 cents is the cost per bu.
and 30 cents is the profit per bu.
Austrian peas have been turned
under for two consecutive years on
this com plot.
This demonstration and the results
f)ho *n here are especially significant
when it is considered that the land if
sandy upland type. Also of specia
significant is that the fact that tht
drought did not affect- this corn croj
as badly as most others in the county
This is accounted for by the large a
mount of fumus having been put in
the soil by the two crops of Austrian
peas Which were turned under.
Respectfully,
? HENRY D. GREEN, Co. Agt.

POLO GAME GOES TO BLUES
The Blue team of the Old Camde:i J
Polo club took its second successfu1
game from the Whites by a score o"
four to three Sunday afternoon. The I
game was fast and filled with many '
moments of suspense.
,It is a peculiar coincidence hov
frequently this four tq three score i~
the final result. Fully half th^
,games have so resulted and almos1
all of them, as happened in Sunday'
game, reach a three to three tie early
in the play which it seems to stale
mate both teams and reigns until
near the end of the game. In Sun
day's game this thrfee to three scor~ >
was reached in the third chukker and
held until late in the sixth when '
Ancrum Boykin put through the win- |
ning goal for the Blues.
The sensation of the rame was a
beautifql solo drive by Frank Wootenj
almost the entire length of the field
for a goal. Joe Bates, too, played a
beautiful game for the Blues.
For the Whites Charlie Little and
Clarkson Rhame played well.
A gallery of hund. dds, including |
many from all parts of the state
were on hand to enjoy the exhibition.
The game next Sunday, and those
thereafter, will start ht 4 o'clock in
stead of 3:15. *

Sharing Opinion*

that X am always desirous of sharing

The following Associated Press dis
patches say:
Washington, Dec. 5. ? The South
Carolina congressional delegation
split on the vote on the Garner pro
hibition repeal resolution today.
Only four of the seven representa
tives supported the resolution: Mc
Millan, Casque, Fulmer and McSwain.
Representatives Dominick and Hare
opposed the resolution. Neither will
be in the next congress. Dominick
was defeated in the recent primary
and Hare has retired.
Representative Stevenson, another
"lame duck", did not vote today.
Washington, Dec. 5. ? A bold and
unprecedented attempt by the Dem
ocratic leadership to force its. party's
outright prohibition repeal proposal
through the house failed today and
dimmed prospects of further action on
the issue in that branch during the
remainder of the short session.
The action was interpreted on Cap
itol hill as foreshadowing a special
session of the r.ew congress next,
spring soon after President-elect
Roosevelt was inaugurated so that the
Democrats might carry out their
pledge for flat repeal.
Despite the defeat of the resolution
by the narrow margin of 272 to 144 ?
