HOW FARMER BOYS
CAN H KAISER
BRYAN WILLINGHAM, STAfE
PRIZE WINNER IN BOYS' CORN
CLUB CONTESTS FOR 1917,
SETS THE PACE, '
Columbia.?What one boy can do,
another can do. There should be an
American boy to match every German
boy in producing food to feed the armies
fighting at the front and the families
of the soldiers left at home. In
dermany the boys are working. On
the farms in America, from which so
many men have gone to take their
nlaces in the fiehtine line, there Is a
, great opportunity for patriotic service
for the farm boys not yet old enough
to fight with a gun. Their weapons
are the plow and the hoe.
Bryanj Willingham, of Winnsboro,
* Fairfield cunty, first State prize win*
ner in the Boys' Corn Club contest for
1917, has set the pace for the farmer
boys of South Carolina. What Bryan
Willingham has done, other boya in
South Carolina can do.
Bryan is seventeen years of age. He
has been a member of th0 Corn Club
for several years. He has on more
than one occasion won in his county
contest. In 1915 he won a scholarship
to a short course in agriculture offer
ed by Clemson uonege. in laib ne
attended the short course, when he
received valuable scientific knowledge
of soils, plants and cultural methods,
which, coupled with his practical
knowledge, he has applied to his farm- ;
Ing operations with marked success.
He has learned well the importance j
of deep and thorough "preparation of
the seed-bed, the value of humus in
the soil, and of good and well-selected
ead. He has learned the value of
oommercial fertilizers and how to apply
them for best results; the value
of frequent and shallow cultivation,
*nd the injurious effect of pulling the
blades or fodder from the corn.
With these important principles
well fixed in his mind, he started out
with the determination of succeeding,
And he did so, producing 157.8 bushels
Af eorn on one acre at a cost of 17.6
cents per bushel. His net profit was
$287.75.
This being the best record made
fcy any member of the Boys' Corn
Club in South Carolina in 1917, Bryan
Willingham was declared State champion
for that year, and won as prizes

The; past achievements of this

things. He will continue in the elub

yarpose to attend Clemson College i
and take the complete agricultural
aourae to fit himself for successful
farming, which he proposes to make
his life work.
Bryan WHIingham's achievement
ahould prove an inspiration to the
farmer boys of South Carolina.
i FARMERS URGED TO
PLANT LATE CORN
Columbia.?After grain is harvested,
very available acre of good land
should be planted in late corn, says
the Food Administration. The Concerv&tion
and Production Division of
the Food Administration has secured,
for the benefit of those who will plant
late corn, expert advice.
Corn ean be successfully grown, according
to Clemson College experts,
from Columbia to the coast when
Ranted by the middle of June. There
is yet time, therefore, if corn is planted
after the grain crop is harvested,
4a add largely to the corn acreage in
6outh' Carolina, which is greatly desirable.
Only good land should be planted
fa late corn, however. The poorer
fan* ean be made to produce food by
planting cow peas and peanuts.
It is stated that it will probably not
to wise to plant corn after grain in
<he Piedmont section, because of the
shorter season. For grain lands in
ffcie section, cow peas, soy beans and
peanuts are recommended.
HO REASON FOR HIGH PRICES
ON WHEAT SUBSTITUTES
Columbia*?The Food Administration
has sent out a warning to corn
{millers and to wholesale and retail
'dealers in corn, barley and oats products
that at the present prices of these
grains cornmeal and oatmeal should
he selling at least twenty per cent
{below the price of wheat flour and
fthat corn flour and barley flour should I
the selling at least ten per cent below j
"wheat flour.
The high levels ruling in grains as
:* result of car shortages and storm
weather last winter have now fallen
materially with much greater freedom
of transportation and the stocks ac- j
cumulated by manufacturers and traders
at the prices ruling then should
have been liquidated by this time,
in the \iefw of the Food Administration.
The maintenance of higher I
price levels bv millers and wholesali
*
?ra will require justification to the
State and local administrators, and al- |
though retailers are not under con- I
trel. wholesalers will be instructed to
cease dealing with retailers who cannot

of this place, writes: *1 am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was on? of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I n
was a child. When any of us children
complained of headache, usually j
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
j rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we !
would take Black-Draught pretty reg- j
; ular until the liver acted well, and !
, we would soon be up and around
! again. We would not be without it, j
: for it certainly has saved us lots of !
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black- |

Thedford's Black-Draught has been !
! In use for many years in the treat- j
I ment of stomach, liver and bowel

If your liver is not doing its duty, |
