BOYS' CORN CONTEST. &
For two years the Hoys' Corn Contest
has held its corn contest in connection
with the County Fair. ?We believe that
this arrangement lias been mutually bene
ficial and caused the members of the' Corn >
Contest to take a greater interest in the %
annual contest and exhibits crowning
their year's efforts^ and we think that this f
feature of the Fair has been a very
attractive one to the public. The sea
son for growing a record yield of com
has been very unfavorable, yet a goodly
number of com club members have grown
good crops and the outlook for a fine ex*
hibit is bright.
. The rules governing the contest are the
same as last year. Members of the Boys'
Corn Club will be admitted free as here
tofore.
Through public subscriptions we are
enabled to offer the following prizes: j
1st prize, greatest yield per acre. .$20.00
2nd prize, second greatest yield per

GIRLS' TOMATO CLUB.
- We- are glad- to announce that t he - .
school girls of Kershaw County have kept
up with the times and with the present
day spirit of advance in agriculture and
mn+i?fnil linps nr>d have organized a Girls1
Tomato Glub. i
Thle County Superintendent of Educa- ?
tion got about for ty - jgirk to. register hju
members of this club and by unusual^
effort succeeded in getting the Farm
Demonstration Department of the United ^
States Department of Agriculture to send ,
a demonstration agent to this County to
take charge of tlii9vwdrkcr^is was quite?
? a triumph, as? many larger and stronger
counties were unable to secuix; agents
from the government for this purpose. ' j
Miss Katherine Chappell, of Tjyfcesland,
Kichland County, South Carolina, was
sent as demonstration agent andHhas ren
dered most excellent service. The work
was started too late in the year for best
results, and 'weather conditions during
the summer proved so unfavorable that
half ftf ? '
became discouraged and gave up the
effort to make a crop. Those who hare
continued to the end have done remark
ably well under tjie circumstances. Some
of them, in spite of the late start and the
unfavorable weather, have attained really
wonderful results. It has been decided to
hold a GirlsT Tomato Club exhibit in coin 3
nection with the County Fair. Those -
girls who have kept up the work as mem
bers of the club to tne end will be ad
mitted free . to the entire Fair. They can
get lodges . from Mr, McKeniie on the
opening day of the Fair. All exhibits by
members of the Girls* Tomato Chib must
be brought to the Fair Grounds on the^
day before the ooening of the Fair.
