In the face of direct promises they have ‘railroaded’ this bill through. It la an insult to the minority of the committee, to the house Itself and to the country at large." The executive eession of the com mittee was characterized by tense feeling. The Democrats endeavored to secure an adjournment aad to amend the bill but were voted down. An amendment was offered striking out the subsidy sections of the bill but it was lost. In answer to the Impassioned ap peals of the Democrats Mr. Hum phreys turned a deaf ear, answering that immediate action oa the bill was imperative. When the final vote was taken It was shown that Repre sentative Humphreys had figured correctly on a safe majority for his measure.

In other words, South Carolina ia losing at least 3,000,000 bushels a year In the yield, owing to the poor quality of seed. Members of the aasociation who breed corn along the lines laid down In the meeting will be able to guarantee seed that will be high producing.

In 1911 a comparison will be made between the corn that is bred up and the corn that has not been improved, and the breeders who have made the greatest improvement in yields will receive $500 in prizes In 1911 and $500 in 1912. This contest will be open to any farmer In the State who wlahe* to enter the contest. \ "The local agents of the United States farm demonstration work will ■toUt Gw farmers who. are breeding corn in harvesting the breeding plots and selecting seed for the coming year.
