DEATH AT CHERAW.
i
Mr. Benton. One of the Oldest Citi?
zens.' Passes Away.
Cheraw. August 14.-Mr. W Allen
Benton, one of Cheraw's oldest citi?
zens, died today. Mr. Eenton has
been a patient sufferer for the past
two years. He served during the en?
tire war. being in the command of
Capt. Henry Mciver. He served two
terrrs as postmaster of the town un?
der Cleveland. Mr. Fenton was born
in Anson County, X. C., and came to
Cheraw when a more boy. Jn his
ieath the town has lost one of its
truest citizens. ,
Mr. Fenton resided in Sumter for
about a year some ten years ago. as
manager of the Rouse Racket Store.
The Williamson method of corn
culture is all right as far as it goes
it is a rational and successful method
of obtaining the best results from the
use of 5. given amount of fertilizer-(
but a point in,corn growing that has j ?
been almost universally neglected in j ^
this State has been the selection and
testing of seed corn. A series of ex?
periments, extending cv? r a period of
years, conducted byVhe Iowa Agri?
cultural College demonstrated that
the farmers of that State were losing
heavily each ye ar by using improp? r J <|
and defective seed eorn. As soon as : ?j
the farmers were convinced of this : 1
fact and began selecting suitable seed i '
i i
and testing it before planting there
was a largf- increase in the average
yield of corn per acre.' and each year j |
as the seed corn is improved by scien?
tific selection and the practice of seed j ^
selection and testing becomes more
general among the farmers the aver?
age yield increases. According to r?
liable statistics collected 'by the Iowa
Agricultural College the increase last ^
y ur in the average yield of corn per $
.tere in that State was a fraction more |
than four bushels, worth, in the (j
aggregate, moro than $12.000.000. jA
Such an immense increase in the val- ^ 1
oe of a single crop in one Stat?* Is
worthy of serious consid< ration, espe?
cially as it is all clear gain, since it j ?j
requires neither an increase in acre?
age, work nor fertilization, but simply
care in selecting tho seed used in |
planting. A combination of the Wil?
liamson method of cultivation and
fertilization and t?o- Iowa plan "'"ii
seod selection and testing should work ?' ^
wonders in increasing the corn cr <\> ! |
