Vou ail had fine prospects for a la.rf.5e yield before the storm and *. j think that your yield now will be; greater than you really think u is. I would suggest the following plan to measure your crop: Gather every} fifth row, shell, weigh and divide by the number of rows gathered, this will give the average .yield for one j row, then multiply this yield by the; number ol rows in the acre, for the. j total yield. The county fair is offering some! premiums this year but will not be held until November, about a month later than the State Fair. Besides the three free trips to the State fair, I am planning to offer sev j eral goad premiums, the list will be published later. I want to arrange for those three free trips to the State Fair and if you boys will get your annual reports in to me by the 15th of October I will do all 1 can to arrange them for you, one from each corn club district. Besides the free trips to the | State Fair the boy making the best I record and the one making the sec- j ond best record get the short course i at Clenison College. Two of the corn club boys got the short course to Clemson each year. You boys have all had the samo conditions to contend with. I war' ! you to make the best showing you can at the county fair. You may i get one of the free trips to the State I fair or one of the short courses in j Clemson College. Either is worth | working for.

York GROW GOOD STRAWBERRIES Portion of Every Home Garden Should Be Devoted to Strawberries to Supply Fresh Fruit for Table. Clemson College, S. C. A portion of every home garden should be devoted to strawberies. They ore easy to grow, do well 011 practically every kind of soil, and a very small Ir. Is. cnvnlt, tin, Pnmtlir "til Oct in nun n i oil i. n/ ou|/|JiAv uiu iauiu,y . By planting varieties that ripen in succession, fresh fruit may be had from early spring until late in the summer. In the early fall, until the first of November, is the best time to sel the plants. Delighting in cool weather, if set at this time they will become well established by spring, and will he able to resist droughts which often occur at this season. In selecting plants for the new bed. only the strongest of the present year's runners should be used. The roots of new plants are always white, which distinguishes them from older plants whose roots are always black. Previous to planting, remove a portion of the leaf surface to lessen evaporation, and shear the roots to abowi one-half if they are very long. A common mistake in planting is to scoop out a shallow hole and thrust the plant into It, leaving the roots a crumpled mass with their tips near the surface where they quickly dry out. To avoid this .n.ake a deep hole with a spade or long-pointed trowel, in?e>rt the roots and spread them out fan shane. allowing them to hang down full length. In this way, every part or tlie root system will he In direct -.4 ...1.4 L i I. 11 a i a. cuinuiu wnii niu win ttnu Kepi constoutly moiat. Place the crown, or bud, just at the surface. If It la below tlie level of the ground, after the soil settles it is smothered; if much above, the roots will dry out. Of the various methods of training strawberry runners, the hill system is without doubt the most satisfactory for he home grower. The plants are placed 14 to IS inches apart in the row, and all runners kent removed, except a few trained with the row to produce new plants. Not quite so many berries will be produced as with some of the matted row systems, but they will be much larger and of superior quality. It is well during the first season to pinch off all the fruiting stems as they appear in order that the entire strength of the plant may be directed to tlve development of the 1 crown and leaves. By the end of the i season, the plants should have thick 1 broad crowns, each holding the rudiments of several stalks of berries and containing plaint food in sufficient quantity to produce a maximum crop the second season. A strawberry bed may bear from three to five crops if given careful at- ' tention, but it. is better to allow the : plants to fruit only twice. As the i hod gets older, the plants become weakened and often diseased. For the very highest grade berries, the plants should be allowed to fruit only once and a new bed set annually.

Until recently, wilt has been confined to the coastal plain but now it is also being reported from the Piedmont section; so, every farmer in the State should keep a close lookout for the diseases.and as soon as it is found take steps to prevent its spread. Plants affected with this disease shed their leaves, wilt and die. Upon examination, the willed plants will be found to be black 011 the inside. If the stein is split open black streaks are found beneath the bark and in the tissues of the stem. This black coloration is very characteristic of wilt. i ouoii win is caused uy a rungus which grows into the roots and steins of the plants l'rom the soil, it gets in the water duets and vessels of the plants and finally plugs them up; and, in tills way, cuts off the circulation oi water and plant food, causing the plants to wilt and die. This fungus will live in the soil indefinitely so that 1 soil once infected with it will remain diseased for a long time. The disease Is spread from one place to another HOWTO PRESERVE HOME CURED MEAT ' I i Beef and Pork on the Farm; and Best Plan of Preserving I CURING WITH BRINE IS ONE GOOD PLAN Curing' Should Be'gin While Meat is Good and |< I i Fresh. Curing meats with brine is a good method for farm use. It is less i trouble to pack the meat in a barrel and pour brine over it t ahtnorohr 1 and pour brine over it than to go ? over it three or four times and rub in salt, as in Jhe dry curing method. ' The brine also protects the meat from 1 insects and vermin. Brine made of ( pure water and according to the di-j1 rections in the following recipes;1 should keep a reasonable length of ' time. During warm weather, howcv-M er, brine should be watched closely ( and if it becomes "ropy,' like sirup l it should be boiled or new brine made. ( A cool, moist cellar is the best place !1 for brine curing. Pure water, salt, sugar or molass- ; <\s, and saltpeter are all the ingre- 1 lients needed for the ordinary curing * af moat. The meat may be packed in large earthen jars or a clean hard- ( wood barrel. The barrel or jar may * jc used repeatedly unless meat has 1 spoiled in it. It should be scalded ' thoroughly, however, each time he- ( fore fresh meat is packed. 1 Curing should begin as soon as the J meat is cooled and while it is still ; fresh. Ordidnarily 24 to 36 hours 1 ifter slaughter are sufficient for f pooling. Frozen meat should not be s salted, as the frost prevents proper N penetration'Of the salt and uneven 1 :uring results.

I Where th? disease is found in the fields at this season of the year, pre j cautions should he taken to prevent its spread. Cut out the diseased patches' and do not plow though them, and pre vent drainage water from these pat< lies from getting on to other parts of the farm. It is also a good plan| to pull up and destroy the diseased plants where wilt occurs in small patches. When wilt is already prevalent, it can he controlled hv the use of disease resistant varieties. The Hixie and the Dillon are two varieties which are almost immune to the trouble. These varieties are being grown sue eessfully on lands which are so badly diseased that no other varieties will crow on them at all. The Uhitod States Department of Agriculure and Clem.?on College are co-operaing with a number of farmers throughout the. State in the production of high grade wilt resistant seed and will be glad to put those who are suffering from wilt in touch with the people who hare such seed for sale. j ^ i used i'or corning flic the plate, rump, cross ribs, and brisket, o.-, in other words, tlie cheaper cuts of meat. The loin, ribs and other fancy cuts arc more often Used fresh. The pieces for corning should be cut into convenient-sized joints, say, 5 or (> inch es square, it should be the aim to cut them all about the same thickness so. that they will make an even layei in tthe barrel. Meat from fat animals make choicer corned beef than from pool animals. When the meat is cooled thoroughly it should be corned as soon as possible, as any decay in the meat is likely to spoil the brine during the corning process. Under m I'ircumslancsc should the meat tv brined while it is frozen. Weigh out the meat and allow 8 pounds of salt to each 100 pounds; sprinkle a layc of salt one-quarter-of an inch in dept., over the bottom of the barrel; pack i: lis closely as possible the cuts o. meat, making a layer 5 or (> inches ithickness; then put on a layer of salt, following that with another layer of meat; repeat until the meat and salt have all been packed in the barrel,: :'are being used to reserve salt i snuogh for a good layer over the top. 1 After the package has stood over 1 night add, for every 100 pounds of meat, 4 pounds of sugar, and 4 ounces )f saltpeter dissolved in a gallon of ' tepid water. Three gallons more of i rater should be sufficient to covert: iiis quantity. In case more or lessj than 100 pounds of rmat'is to be corn: J *d, make tlie brine in the proportion I: ;iven.

If the brine 1 ippears to be ropy or dose not drip reely from the finger when immers- t 'd and lifted it should be turned off ( ind new brine added after carefully vashing the meat.

A tight jar or cask is necessary fer ;uring. The process is as follows; To each 100 pounds of meat weigh nit 5 pounds of sail, 3 pounds of granulated sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter; mix thoroughly together. Rub the meat on ail surfaces with a third of the mixture and pack it in the jar as tightly as possible.

Let stand for three days when tlu y should be removal and rubbct with the remaining third of the mixture and allowed to stand for three! days more. The meat is then ready to be removed from the pickle. Th liquid forming in the jars should not be removed, but the meat shrub be repacked in the liquid each time. After being removed ft om the pV.l the meat should be smolad and lump in a dry attic or near the kitchen five where the water will evaporate from it.
