This is a standard which has been
set by a county demonstration age.it,
B. G. Price for the year 1913. Un
der a recent decision of the depart
ment of agriculture, the county dem
onstration agents will give more at
tention to the format .on o( the boys’
corn club, working however, in con
junction with the County Superin
tendent.
Mr Price has taken hold of the
matter with energy, and began yes
terday to make a tour of the
county with a view of enlisting not
only the boys in the corn club, but
the men In demonatration work. He
hopes to cover the territory conti
guous to Walterboro more thorough

his time to building up old worn out
soil. Mr Price will not ae a Die to
cover the entire county on-account of
its size, but expects to be thorough
in territory within a radius of 12
miles of Walterboro. He hopes,
however, to be able to assist farm
ers in other sections of the count]’
and will visit them whenever it is
possible.
A new idea which Mr Price expects
to follow this year is to put up a
sign on each demonsiration farm,
giving the name and ki^d of crop
planted, so that those who pass will
