Winthrop College, being anxious to promote atfll further the work of the Canning and Poultry Clubs of South Carolina, offers during the Summer School free tuition, free board, and free lodging for two prize-winning girls from each of the twenty-four (24) coun ties now in the Canning and Poultry Organization.

Winthrop Faculty. n. pouit* ferent varieties of corn and cotton, stories generally written by the seeds men, and think, Oh, it’s all in the at- ‘ tention he gives his pet patches. It may be that we. have dishonest I seedsmen who claim unmerited things for their seed, but we had as well get down to “brass tacks.” Wc lose mil lions every year by planting unim proved seed. I had this fact of good seed demonstrated a few years ago in this way: I had a two-acre field ad- , joining two other fields, all the same | grade of land and all fertilized alike 1 and cultivated alike. The two-acre I field was planted with seed cotton ! which had beep bred up by individual I plant selection by a man who had a I different idea, and he had worke,d I years in doing it. The other two fields ; were planted with seed said to be pure bred, which had simply been kept separate and ginned on a gin where every conceivable variety had been ginned. I saw that the two acres of well-bred seed was going to produce a lot more, so I measured off the same amount of ground in the other two fields. The two acres of specially se lected seed produced 1,285 pounds of lint cotton; the two acres of unim- proved seed produced 900 pounds of lint cottop, a difference of 197.5 pounds per acre in favor of the specially se lected seed. K ' , Every farmer, by taking time and pains, can improve hit pure-bed va- riety of cotton, so that it will make a c ? *methiag lik£ ihia. I- inousana dollars better off that fall There waa trouble in Captain Carr’a little home on the New Hampshire coast. The captain bad received bis title from the fact that he ^gvned a sloop In which be fished in winter and took out pleasure parties In sum mer. She was both a motor and a sail boat and was named the Frederica from bis wife The occasion of the trouble was that Ms daughter. Fannie, a comely girl of eighteen, bad the night before been kidnaped. Sbe had gone to visit her aunt a mile down the beach. It was early spring and the weather was mild. A half moon gave some light Just before sunset a steamer about fifty feet from stem to stern dropped anchor ' in the bay not far from the house i where Fannie Carr was visiting, and ' about 9 o’clock a boat was seen mov ing from the ship toward the shore. I A party lauded, went*to the house, took the girl to the boat and pulled ber to the schooner. The captain suspected that bis daughter had been carried away by 1 one whom be bad forbidden ber to marry. This man was Jack Austin, a j sailor, without means, but with noth ing else agalust him. Carr didn’t seem to know whether his daughter wished to marry Austin or not Sometimes he thought sbe did and sometimes be thought she didn’t I got wind of the matter early in the morning, and, seeing Captain Carr go-, ing to hia boat with a. wheelbarrow load of provisions and a carboy of wa ter, I went down to the dock and without asking him where he was go ing—for I knew that be was bent on ^ bringing back his daughter—I asked him if be didn't wish me to go wltB him. He said be did. and before we started Ned Beam came down, and the captain took him "along too. We ; knew there were three on the other boat and, since we were three, there was an even match. j The captain bad been told that the boat we were after—no one bad seen ber name—bad turned ber nose north ward after leaving the bay. So be I steered In that direction. Every now and again when we met a boat Carr would describe to those on her the one we were after and ask if they had seen her. Some had seen her and some hadn't but we got enough in formation about ber to satisfy us that we were on ber track. We followed her all day. and when the captain found we couldn't possibly reach ber before dark be was discouraged, for he felt sure the fugitives were mak ing for Casco bay, where there are is lands enough to conceal a whole fleet After passing Portland we got In among these islands and lost all track of what we were following, but after meandering among them for four days we were sailing past Seguln light when the captain spied something near the main island moving westward that answered the description of the craft we wanted. We followed her down past Orrs island and saw her go through the narrow gut between Orrs and Baileys islands. That's the last we saw of her for severs! days, when one evening, round ing a point of Cliff Island, we saw her anchored in n cove no great dlstanee from us. We made for her. expecting to see some one preparing to receive uk. but as we neared her not a human being could we see aboard of her. We anchored near her. and the captain and Ned Beam got into the tender and went aboard her. After awhile the eaptaln pulled back and said that they had found her de serted. Her name had l)eeii painted off the stern, but they could see the white letters undarneath — Rowena. She must have been laid up for some time, for her fires were out and the furnace only warm. His idea was that something had gone wrong with them, and they had been obliged to lay up. Probably they had seen us and had left their craft and gone up Into the island, though they could have got away from there, since the little steamers were stopping at the dock on the other side a number of times a day. Captain Carr told me that he had left Ream on the Rowena. and 1 was to stay on the Frederica while he went up on to the island to find out if any one had seen anything of the party we were after. He did so and returned disappointed, for be had found no one who had seen any such party. Leaving Ned on the Rowena, the captain and I turned In at 9 o’clock and turned out again about 6 o'clock. The captain went on deck and called to Ned. who did not appear. Getting no reply, he went aboard the Rowena. to find ber not only deserted by her crew, but by Ned as well. The cap tain was mystified and so was I. Not knowing what to do, we did nothing. About 10 o’clock we saw several men coming toward ns. headed by Fannie Carr herself. Sbe asked her father' to come ashore to her and told him that Austin bad kidnaped ber, but that during the trip she had forgiven him.
