The South Atlantic States CIrn ex position, to bo held In Columbia dur ing the week of December 11, will bo modeled after the National Corn nhow. This means that the exposi tion will not only have corn on ex hibition, but will be educative in its nature.

This announcement has been made by A. D. Hudson of Nowberry. the president of the exposition. He has secured several thousand dollars to be given in prizes for the best corn to be Shown. The general assembly appro priated $:5.000 for the exposition and at least $10,000 will bo given in prly.es. "The prospects are bright for the exposition," said President Hudson, who was among the visitors in Co lumbia Saturday. The prize winning exhibits of the corn shows to be held in North Carolina, Augusta and At lanta will be brought to the Colum bia show. Several hundred men and boys have entered the State corn contest, and the following important announce ment has been made by E. J. Watson: "Your attention is at this time call ed to rule 2 of the rulqs of the con test, which reads as follows: "'Each contestant is to furnish and ship to the commissioner one sample bushel of corn in the ear from each acre grown (except in the case of live-acre contests, for which one bush el Is sufficient), to be Judged, and then sold for benefit of expenses of con ducting contest.' "Your attention is further called to the fact that your growers' manual, properly Idled In, acording to notice given In the manual, must he in my bands in Columbia not later than Oc tober 120. "Notice is hereby given, also, that the furnishing or at least one quart of shelled corn, put upin a glass bot tle as near the date of harvest as possible, and properly marked with the name of the contestant and the variety of corn is required to be for warded before October 15 to the commissioner of agriculture at Co lumbia. This requirement is for the purpose of submitting all varieties of corn grown in the various sections of the State to chemical analysis for moisture content and nutritive power, with a view to ascertaining by com parison all aarletles of corn suitable for the various sections of the State. It is essential that this corn be shelled and put in a dry bottle and sealed as quickly after the harvest as possible. This corn should be sent by express to Columbia as quickly as possible, and in no event will it be received later than October 15. "I trust that every contestant will realize that the two dates fixed for the receipt of these specimens are essntlal to a proper judgment upon the quality of the corn grown this year. I wish It very clearly under stood, nlso, that the date fixed will he rigidly adhered to, and the failure of any contestant to have his specimens In my hands by those dates will dis qualify him in tlio competition for tlie State prizes."?The State.
