For the past six months several of tho weekly papers throughout the Htate have discarded tho ready prints and adopted the all-home print plan. The Edgefield Advertis er Is the last to adopt this plan. In the last Issue the following announce mcnt nppeared: "For Bome time it has been the ambition of the editor of tho Ad vertiser to make the paper all-homo print, discarding the ready- print pages, but in the past the patron age has not warranted the large ex penditure of money necessary to make tho change. However, en couraged by the steady and sub stantial Increase In patronago of the past year, we have definitely decided to make the change. ^ To this end, tho Advertiser has sold Its old style press and has purchas ed a larger and faster press. 1 "Within a fortnight's time, as soon as the new press arrives, the change -will be made and Edgefield will launch as a permanency an all-home-priht newspaper, the equal of newspapers of larger towns, aa Greenwood and Newberry." . <twqr? t?Mi row trtanke. WINS BHJ PRIQE. Virginia Farmer (Jets* Silver Cup For Best Kars Corn. |, New York, Nov. 11. ? For grow ing the best 30 ears of corn exhib ited from any portion of tho Unit ed Stiti<\?-, \V. H. Dorln, of Clovor, Va., has been awarded the $1,000 Kilvor vup offered by the Interna tional Harvester Company at tbe I American Land and Irrigation Ex position, now in progress at Madi son Square Garden, -Mr. Dorln win ning over exhibitors from every sec tion of tho country, among them L. D. Clore, tho famous Indiana Corn King, hitherto undefeated In a contest of this nature. Mr. Dor ins corn is now on exhibition at the Southern Railway's booth -and is attracting great attention. Farmers of al) sections are show ing extraordinary interest In the award since it Is the first time such a prize has been.' won by a South ern corn grower. Mr. Dorin ploughed his land ten Inches and subsolled 12 Inches more He used 200 pounds of phosphate, liis only "fertilizer outside of clover turned under. His seed was care fully selected from an acre on which he made a splendid yield in 1910, and tho corn wjiich took the prize was from an acre cultivated under the methods of tho U. S. Farm Demonstration bureau, the yield from this acre being 137 bus. The soil Is the ordinary type of southern Virginia, a gray, sandy loam nbout eight inchos deep with a good clay Subsoil. Mr. Dorln's success shoVs what can be accomplished on Southern land and is the more remarkable Mince he Is a formed resident of a' Michigan city and knew practically nothing about farming until ?lx years ago when he purchased 681 acres In Halifax county, Va., on the Southern Railway's Richmond and Danville line, paying eight dollars per acre. The award, of this prfce to Mr. Dorin will prove * valuable advertisement for the Southeast as a com growing land. It was with the purpose of showing the agricultural possibilities . of the Southeast that the Southern Rail company placed an extensive tadhtbtt at this exposition and did everything possible to encourage In dividual exhibits on the part of the fanners throughout the territo ry served by tie lines.
