Psb. 2.? store than 15 enthusiastic residents of Bouth Carolina arrived thli evening to pull for next year'! National Corn exposition, They found on the gTOUndf S formidable foe in the per? son of Oov, a. o. Eberhart, the young and vigorous executive of Minnesota, who, with a delegation,, is seeking to land not only next year's exposition but the succeeding one. Gov. Eber hart came yesterday and had expect? ed to return to Minnesota today. To? night, however, ho announced he would remain a day longer. No reason was given for his change in plans, but it is hinted that the appearance of the Southerners and their evident determination to secure the exposi? tion convinced him it would be well for him to remain on the job here. Minnesota's great agricultural in? terest, the tremendous success which yearly attends 'ts State fair, when the attendance averages 10.000 a day, and also its prominence in the movement for the conservation of re? sources are being exploited in con? nection With its efforts to induce the corn show officials to take the exposi? tion to Minneapolis. Jerry Moore of Winona, who raised 228 1-4 bushels of corn on a single acre of ground, amis made a hero im? mediately upon his arrival here with his home State delegation, Mr. Moore bore himself with modesty. He de-' clared he was going after the prize again next year. The advantages of Columbia as a site for the exposition will be pictured graphically to the corn show officials. The delegation which arrived tonight refused to show its hand or indicate what Inducements It would offer. The members of the delegation, how over, said they felt confident of the outcome. They will stay in their special car while here. mtstarr rsi:i) for hens. New' Ahl in Laying Eggs Proves a locoes* in Grenl Britain. (The Now York Times.)

A most important experiment has been,made, with results that should b?" lU^fcly satisfactory to 'ill interest? ed in egg-production-?an experiment Which proves that mustard, judi? ciously given, has a wonderful effect in inducing the hens to lay. The use of spices and drugs to in? duce etfK production is usually perni? cious, but it has been proved that mustard is free from any objection as an aid in winter production. The experiment was carried out by Ralph Allen, vice president of the Poultry Club, ?and editor of Monthly Hints on Poultry. His report is pub? lished as a pamphlet. The experiment WSJ made on a mountain farm in Wales, exposed to every wind, and was carried on for one yenr, Buft Orpington pulleti were experimented on, birds that had never laid, and wore as mar alike as possible. F*OOd was eerved plain to six birds in on^ pen, and *1th the addition of one teaspoonful of mustard to six in anoth- r pen. The experiment began on October l, 1909, At the end of six months the birds fed with ordinary food had laid S69 eggs, valued at 4S shillings in pence, wher< as the birds fed with the mustard addition to their food laid r?:iL' egga, valued at 71 shillings 6 pence. \t the end of Ihe year the birds ft d on *ho ordinary fmul bad laid 914 eggs, value at 07 shillings fi pence, as against 1,023 eggs, valued at 145 shillings 2 pence, laid by the mustard fed birds.

Berlin, Fob. 2.?Germany's reply, which has been sent to Secretary Knox, at Washoington, by the German , embaasador to the United States, to the inquiry as to the reasons for the imposition of a penalty tax on potash, purports to correct certain alleged erroneous propositions contained in the American note and presents a history of the potash law, with special reference to the provisions applicable to the American case. The reply is based on the idea that the American Government, when informed of the true nature of the enactment, will |)me to a different conclusio i regard? ing it.
