work; Prof A G Smith, of the
United States department of agri|
culture, and Commissioner Watson.
The results showed that in two
instances yields were obtained in the
State by boys exceeding: 150 bushels
to the acre. In the boys' contests
the yields were uniformly better
j that in the men's. The results were
\r reached by scoring on a careful!
< cr?n!p of mints whieh involved the !
minute examination of every ear of
corn for type and breeding and took
into consideration every phase of
the methods of cultivation, laying
i particular stress upon the profits
from the acre.
In the boys' contest the four prizes
were awarded as follows: Ernest M

me truly delighted, because I feel |
my efforts have been rewarded and |
that I, to some extent, have shown i
the possibilities of "Old Williamsburg"
as a corn producing county.
I think I shall give the boys the
ring now, as I want to get in school
as soon as I can, but I want to say
this: With sufficient water supply
and proper cultivation and plant
food, any one would be surprised at
the yield off one acre planted in anything.
I have a letter from Mr Jacob
Phinizy, president of the Georgia
Railroad Bank, Augusta, Ga, stating
that he would add $50.00 to the
State premium if he could see the
corn measured, as he did not believe
that 150 bushels could be
grown on up-land without a system
of irrigation. He is right in the
majority of cases, but, as I wrote
him yesterday, irrigation would not
have been any improvement on our
seasons last or this vear, and if a
storm had not damaged my corn so
badly this vear, coming just as it
began earing and breaking off so
much of it, I would have shown at
least 30 bushels more to my credit.
I never replant any of my contest
corn, but transplant, as you know,
Mr Editor, it is so thick that re- ;
planted corn would not gain suf- 1
ficient growth to make anything.
I had this year 19,900 plants on ;
the acre. The yield was 10,635 lbs
of shucked ear corn, giving approximately
84 lbs of kernels and 16 i
lbs of cobs per hundred weight. I ;
have sent two quarts to Washington,
also a bushel of ears to Mr E J
Watson, Columbia, also my manual. I
And now, kind editor, I desire to
send you a photograph of the whole
thing, just as it was, and will do it
just as soon as they get in from
Charleston, where they went for
development.

Hebron, November 4:?The Hebron
school is doing good work under
the direction of Mr Mitchell, of
Cherokee county, and Miss Ola McElveen
of Hebron.
The Lymesson literary society
held its regular meeting last Friday
afternoon and the following officers i
were elected for the year: miss
Flora Kennedy, president; Miss
Mable Coker, vice president; Mr
Leroy Smith, secretary and treasurer;
Miss Mae Gowdy, first critic; Mr
Wilfred Gowdy, second critic.
Miss Marie Buddin of Turbeville
is visiting Misses Mae and Marie
Gowdy.
Mr Clarence Kennedy is able to be
out. after a very severe illness.
"Grasshopper," I am so very
sorry I didn't know that the editor
had you employed to correct the
writings for the paper. You see, if
I had I would have sent my letter
to you instead of to Kingstree;but it
111 _ A.
seems to me your place wouia De at
Kingstree, not at Bethel. I certainly
do appreciate your kindness for
correcting my mistakes and am glad
you don't make mistakes. What
college did you graduate at? I
think Hebron has as many graduates
as Bethel. I am glad to know your
boys can spell,for they surely cannot
play ball, or they never have done
30 at Hebron. I think I can help
you solve your problem about your
boys' not playing ball at Hebron. '
You say it is because the Hebron i
boys look so ugly. Well, if they
looked in the mirror before they
left home and could stand face to
face with what they met, they could
face anything they saw at Hebron. 1
You surely must have a timid set of i
boys who can't play ban except on i
their own diamond. Well, boys, j,
try to be more manly when you
leave home and don't get so excited.
I think the Hebron boys will go to
your diamond before long, so bear
in mind they are ugly and can't
