In answer to the Impassioned ap
peals of the Dsemocrats Mr. Hum
phreys turned a deaf ear, answering
that Immediate action on 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.
The open hearing given to the
Merchants’ Association of New York

A. G. Smith, in speaking ot the
Corn Breeders' association a*d Its
purposes, Tuesday said:
It takes four things to tnAxe good
corn In South Carolina—«eed, soil,
cultivation and fertilization. * It is
the object of the C</m JBrdbders’
UKKUtion to provide ^ter
r ure well-bred seed
is known to be high-yieldlax,
that will produce a progeny that is
true to type.
"Every state In the Union that
produce# a large amount of corn has
fi^porn Breeders' association that
ia continually improving the seed
snd It was necessary for South Caro
lina to have the same aort of organiz
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 ha* not been bred up. In other
word*, South Carolina Is losing at
least 3,000,000 bushels a year tnj
the yield, owing to the poor quality
of seed. Members of the association
who breed corn along the lines laid
down In the meeting will be able to
guarantee seed that will be high
producing.
"Rule* for the corn contest are
betrtfc mapped out by which The
State will give $1,000 In premiums
for those that do the beet breeding
The corn Is to be bred in the year
1*10 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 wishes
to enter the contest.
"The local agents of the United
States farm demonstration work will
assist the farmers who are breeding
corn in knrveating the breeding plots
and selecting seed for the coming
year. The corn division of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
will furnish the plana for breeding
The office of farm management will
hire genersl ■'supervision of the con
test- It Is the Intention of these
various departments to foster the or.
ganlzatlon as far aa possible until the
contest is concluded. At the and ot
that time the fanners ot the State
should understand corn breeding
sufficiently to conduct the orgtniaa
Hon without assistance. It Is be
lieved that thif association has been
organized along the beat Hum of any
corn breeders*, association that h
