THE WILLIAMSON PLAN. The year 1?07 was the banner corn year in the history of Sumter count}, thanks, in a large measure, to favor? able seasons, and in a less degree to the Williamson system of culture. No one can foretell what the season* Will be this year, but experience has de? monstrated that by the Williamson system it is possible to produce more corn under any conditions Than by tie- old haphazard methods. It will pay the farmers to plant and cultivate at least a part of their corn crop in accordance with thai system. DE. JOHN H. MORSE. VETK111NAltY suKw 1 :ox. OFFICE?111 1-2 W.
