CORN CLUB PRIZES OFFERED FOR 1914 South Carolina Plans to Win Back Southern Record Lost in 1913. Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.)--lEnthusias tio plans are already under way in Georgia, South Carolina and other Southern states for the 1914 corn club contests. These contests have in creased the South's corn production by millions of dollars during the past few years. H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag ricultural committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, has renewed for 1914 his annual offer of corn club prizes in South Carolina and nine other Southern states. Mr. Hastings offers $1,200 in prizes. Of this amount $100 goes to South Carolina in three prizes of $50, $30 and $20 each. These prizes are awarded under the direction of the United States government of ficials in charge of the farm demon stration work. Word conies that the South Caro lina boys are going to make a power ful effort this year to regain the South ern record, which they held in 1912, but which was taken away from them in 1913 by Alabama. The South Car olina record of 228 bushels, held by Jerry Moore, was beaten by 232 bush els, raised by Walker Lee Dunson of Alabama. An interesting echo from last year's contest comes from Arkansas, where the $50 prize, offered by Mr. Hastings, was won by a 14-year-old girl, Miss Delphine Moore, vho competed against 2,400 boys, because there was no girls' club in the state. The corn club work has made won derful- advances throughout the South. The fathers of the corn club boys, who first looked on the movement as a fad, have at last come to realize its great practical value and are now just as much interested as their sons.

Burlington to Run Combination Trains Through Southern Iowa and Northern Missouri-600 Alfalfa Lectures to Be Given in Two Weeks' Campaign-7p0 Automo biles to Be Used in the Work. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad will run an alfalfa combina tion railway and automobile train for a two weeks' campaign, making about 60 stops in southern Iowa and north ern Missouri, beginning July 28, 1913, from Des Moines. The plan, as worked out by the Bur lington in co-operation with the Agri cultural Extension Department of the International Harvester Company of New Jersey and the agricultural col leges, Is far in advance of any agri. cultural extension work ever carried on. Will Stop at Sixty Points. Local committees at each of the 60 points on the railroad will arrange for flive to ten automobiles to carry the speakers in all directions into the cou* try to farm homes, school houses and inland towns within a radius of from four to ten miles, where alfalfa lec tures will be given. During the campaign over 600 al falfa lectures will be delivered by the party to as many audiences, and from 500 to 700 automobiles will be brought into the service of this great educational movement. These campaigns are conducted on a strictly co-operative basis. The people will provide: 1st. A guarantee of at least five to ten automobiles at each railroad stop to carry the speakers to the points in the country where meetings are to be held. 2nd. Halls suitable for the central meeting in towns where train stops. 3rd. Any community desiring a campaign must send in a request to the railroad, agricultural college co operating, or to the Agricultural Ex tension Department, signed by a rep resentative number of farmers and business men. The railrbad will provide: Sleeping cars and dining service for the alfalfa campaign party, and bag gage and exhibit cars, literature, etc. The Agricultural Extension Dept. will provide: 1st. Speakers. 2nd. Assistance in organizing and advertising campaign. 3rd. Educational charts and other equipment for lecture purposes, bulle tins, literature, etc. 4th. Folfow-up men, when possible, to assist the farmers in getting a start with alfalfa. Hearty co-operation on the part of the people is absolutely necessary to make these campaigns successful. SAVE THE ALFALFA LEAVES. Sixty Per Cent. of the Feeding Value of Alfalfa in the Leaves-Hay Should be Cut at Right Time and Cured so as to Preserve the Leaves. Of the entire alfalfa plant, accord lag to Kansas bulletin 155, the stalk comprises 60 per cent, and the leaf 40 per cent., whereas the quantity of the protein in the stalk is only 40 per cent., wvhile the protein in the leaf is 00 per cent. Moreover only 20 per cent. of the fat is to be found in the stalk, while 80 per cent. is in the leaf. It is, therefore, very important that alfalfa be harvested at the proper time, and carefully handled so that all the leaves will'be saved. When possible to (10 50 it Is best to cut alfalfa late in the afternoon or evening. Dewv or rain on the freshly cut alfalfa will not injure it. WVhere a tedder is used, it should be started in the morning as soon as most of the deow is off and before there is any dan ger of knocking off the leaves. It is often advisable to go over it more than once. Alfalfa hay is harvested and cured in much the same .way as clover, ex Save the Alfalfa Leaves I~eaf40 Protein Stak i 140 Fat Leaf -180 cept that it should be cut as soon as the young sprouts or shoots start to grow at the base of the plant. WVhen alfalfa is left too long without c'utting, the leaves fall off and the r,'.ems become woody, and the yield of the next crop is greatly reduced. MONEY IN ALFALFA. J. Otis llunmphrey, judge U. S.
