Winthrop College, Rock Hill, Jan| AY uary 12:?On Saturday evening,Jancf I narv 6. it snowed and sleeted here. j I , On Monday had more snow and sleet, followed by a freeze which made the campus a fine place for skating. The snow and ice have not melted yet, and the girls have been enjoying it to the fullest extent all the week. If snyone going out hap?g pen to escape Jailing herself,she will be sure to see some one else fall, which is just a; pleasant an experi- j ence. Three girls have broken arm or wrist as a result of falling on the j s ice. Only one of these unfortunate S??"~ three is from vVilliamsburg county, j Our first term examinations begin on January 22. This is the last i session that will be divided into two terms. Next year there will be three terms. A new bulle.in called the "Rural Life Conference Bulletin" has just been issued by Winthrop College. It contains many of the excellent addresses deliver id at the Rural Life I conference held here during thej summer school. This bulletin is for j distribution ard may be obtained by anyone free of charge who will write President Johnson asking him , for it. The annual report of the Board of Trustees of Winthrop College to the Legislature has been printed. It contains a great deal of interesting and valuable information about ' Winthrop College. The enrollment this year is 745: the number applytP ing for admif-sion at this session, 1,356. Notwii hstanding the greater enrollment this year the Board of Trustees is asking the Legislature for less appropriation than last year. The money rec uested by the trustees is to provide for the additional teaching and t xecutive force and the additional expenditures required to care for one cf the largest educational institutions in the South and ' the only one supported by the ^tate of South Carolina for young women; also for work by Winthrop for all the rural school teachers of the State ?county supervision of rural schools ?for the conc.uct of an experimental school and for extension work in household economics in the interest n.. 1 i_?, >Uo Ol tne wuuitu miu uumcs ui uic State. The tr istees claim that Winthrop is one o ' the most economical institutions ir the country. The economy that must be practiced in doing all the work undertaken by the college w.th the appropriation asked for is se-.m when it is known that it is only about one-third of the amount requiied to run institutions of about the same size as Winthrop. South Carolina could well afford to appropriate af much money for the higher education of young women as she wisely does for her young ? men,but as a matter of fact she appropriates fa.* less, although the vminc women outnumber the young men of the St ite, and a far greater proportion of chem are prepared for college annually, as the records of the high schools will show. We do not believe that any institution similar to Winthrop is run more economically or can show greater or better results for the money expended by the State. For every dollar appropriated by the State on the Winthrop plant President Johnson has raised another dollar from other sources. The Winthrop plant is worth more than twice as much to the State to-day as the State has ipent on it. E H. 1 ok hen n't foro ( 1 >:?:?.@:?:@:?:?:?:?:?:@ Why Ihe South Should Be the , Real "Corn Belt." ] The scientists tell us it takes a [' certain number of heat units to pro-'' duce a corn crop. This means that ( corn does its best in a warm climate, j( Of course a liberal amount of mois- 1 ture and a rich soil, well filled with I' organic matter or humus, are also 1 needed. In short, there are about ! four important factors which go to 1 make up suitable conditions for the growing of maximum corn crops: 1. Warm weather, including a moderately high temperature both I day and night. 1 2. A comparatively long season of 1 warm weather, or a long growing period. I 3. Abundant moisture maintained < without too great variations. An * excess of moisture and drought are ' equally antagonistic to large corn ( yields. , 4. A deep, loose, fertile soil, well ] filled with decaying organic matter ' or humus. ^ ' It will be seen that three of these four essentials of a corn country are j naturally ours. The fourth alone is < lacking, but by no means impossible or even difficult of attainment. The experiences of recent years have , enened the eves of Southern farm ers as to the possibilities of corn growing, and the rapid increase in onr average production per acre is the result. A few years more of this work of the Boys' Corn Clubs, < will, sure enough, put the South in the "Corn Belt."-??/* Progressive j Farmer. ! Saves Two Lives.

Lack of feed may cause more losses in the South than cholera, but an abundance of feed can be produced cheaply by any one who wants it, while even the most intelligent management will not always protect against cholera.
