Clark of Florida and Kusterman had
notified the committee that they de
sired hearings on their own ship
subsidy bills.
“The action of the Republicans
is an outrage," declared Representa
tive Alexander of tt)e committee.
“We were given no chance to con
sider the bill or to be heard upon
it. 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.

"Every state In the Union that
produces a large amount of corn has
^ftorn Breeders’ aasociation that
ia continually improving the seed
and It was necessary for South Caro
lina to have the same aort of organis
ation before corn growing could be
developed to the highest point. Corn
that has been bred up will yield 10
per cent, more or better than corn
that has not been bred up. 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.
"Rules for the corn contest are
heiiqg mapped out by which The
State will give $1,000 in premiums
for those that do the best breeding
The corn is to be bred in th© year
1110 and succeeding years. 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

corn in harvesting the breeding plots
and selecting seed for the coming

will furnish the plans for breeding.
