It Is a wonderful thing for a boy a lilt to more than fifteen yenra of age to win the world*,# champion ship in a notable achievement, one of genuine value to mankind. Sneh i a record is now held by Jerry Moore, of South Carolina. Jerry’s score shows two hundred and twent eUht bushels and three peeks of corn produced on one ncrc.J He thus becomes ftio champion boy corn grower of the world. , ^erry is now nearly sixteen years of age, fcut he had but little more than pass* d his fifteenth birthday when the wonderful feat of produc ing two hundred and twenty-eight bushels and three pecks of corn on good soil was accomplished. Jerry lives in Florence county, near a lit tle station known as Winona. He is the son of a Methodist minister, Kev. J. H. Moore, formerly of the Western North Carolina Conference but now a member of the South Car olina Conference. * So many people, principally news paper reporters, have been to see Jerry of late, that to use the home ly expression of one of them, the path to the parsonage, close by the little brick church building, known as Liberty Chapel, Ms getting tuigh- | ty slick.” j Another reporter gives tis this .engaging picture of our champion corngrower "As we turned in and ' stopped at the front gate, we knew by the niountc.ia of cornstalks off -to one sole that we had struck « i • he right pi ce. Ijj front of the I barn door tiiore v.;.s .* little slip of a ft Ik v. in i !.. • ov ial!:? and liro- gau shoes. tie was lying the hanie. tring on a big, awkward horse I As he v.; the only one in sight, we greeted bi n by asking ' Are you • Clio i. ilow Ci.c raist il toe corn.' 1 am the one', he answered. Here we were face to face with the chum pion. Jerry Moore is small for his age. He might tip the beam at seventy-five pounds, hut it would be close. He is modest even demure and does not seem to think it any big thing to be the champion of th,e world. He showed us his pile of corn, and what a pile it was to come off of one acre of land! He had it shucked and planked off in one end of the crib, and overflow ing innumerable barrels and boxes besides.” * Tho North Carolina people ar$ 1 very proud of the fattt that the seed- 'used !> Jerry for this wonderful yield of corn came from Hint state. T *. Is what is town as liatts’ Fro lific. Now. all this required both gn and industry on the part of Jerrj He did not win bis championship honor and his priic easily. Nothihg was done in a half-handed fashion. Jerry went oyer his ground again and again. It wasn't an extra bit of soil, as some suppose. It was no better than hundreds of acres to be found all through the Carolina^. Indeed Jerry's juages state that it was at the start but poor, sandy soil. Jerry worked patiently ARD.WALTERBORO. &CC.
