Atlantic Coast Line
Awards Corn Prises
j J. K. WhlUf, tt- F. L>. 3, Sumter,
' S, C., hitm been awarded the first
j prize of $100 offered by the Atlani
tic Coast Line Kailroad Company in
the five-acre corn contest staged duri
ing the past year. Mr. White proI
Ouced a total of 504.76 bushels of
' corn on five acres or an average of
i 1 IK.05 bushels per acre. K. H.
!ley, K. F. I). 3, Mullins, S. C., who
I produced an average of 102.3 bushels
per acre won the second prize
of $75 offered by the Coast Line;
('. W. Josey, of St. Charles, S. C\,
was awarded the third prize of $50
for an average yield of 00.23 bushels
per acre. The fourth prize of
$25 was won by Charles II. Calloway
of Hartsville, S. C., who produced
01.5 bushels per acre.
The winners of the Coast Line
awards were determined by the
South Carolina extension Service in
connection with its own state-wide
five acre corn contest. Prizes oflered
by the railroad were limited to
persons living in counties served by
its rails. The Atlantic Coast Line
i- \itull> interested in prosperity oi
agriculture in its territory and ,is cooperating
in every possible way with
the State Kxtension Service. It is
(nir. . to. t it an adequate supply
of !: *t< i essential to any suecessi
u i of farming. The production
of ample amounts of corn and
other grains, and of hay and pasturage
is essential before livestock can
be profitably raised. The five acre
corn, contests are consequently part
(if a lar-reaching program looking to
an establishment of a well balanced
agrit wlture in Coast Line territory.
Similar prizes will he offered by the
railroad for t'he coming year.
There were 2K7 contestants for the
s miored py the Atlantic (Oast
Line, and a total .of 500 entries in
i he State-wide contest. The possibility
of greatly increasing the per
acre yields of corn in Kastern South
('arolina is shown by the fact that
while the average of the twelve best
yields in the entire state wa- '.?<).hi
bushels per acre, the winnir ol thr)
first Cniet Line prize produced an
average of I 1 s.PO bu-hel- per acre
and the winner of, the f>ui!h prize
had an average yield olVnLJS bushels.
Winners of the Atlantic t'n^st Lino
prizes showed total profits ranging
from $370.bH down t<? $250.03, for the
, five acres. Their profits per acre
varied 'from $7 1.13 to $51.03. while
profits per bushel of corn were from
55.13 cents to 70.7 cents. These figures
were arrived at after taking into
account all expenses in connection
with the production of the crop.
While the contest did not result in
, breaking any existing records for
i corn productioii it proved beyond
question that corn can be raised profitably
in Kastern South Carolina and
; demonstrated the methods that gave
che best results. In addition to the
profit from the corn that was produced
the winners of the prizes founi
the contest decidedly worth while.
.1. IL White, winner of the Atlantic
Coa>t Line prize of $100 also won
tin- first State prize of $200 and the
