August 2i?th, an in? formal meeting uf the City National Prize contestant.-, was held in the of? fice of the President of the City Na? tional Punk. Pluns for measuring the prize acres and gathering the product! I were discusaed. The contestants \ery enthusiastic and through all of ' the ups and downs that usually beset a farmer in growing four different kinds of crops, more than twenty contestants expressed themselves as I being very much in the running yet. The 16th of January, 1V* 13, was set as the Anal limit for sending in re? ports. It was decided best for each contestant, with the two witnesses J certifying to the accuracy of his re? ports, to keep secret the records. The reports will be submitted to a com? mittee selected by J. Frank Wil? liams for making the awards. The first prize is $100, for the great? est average yield on each of the fol? lowing; crops: an acre of cotton, an acre of corn, an acre of peas, and an acre of sweet potatoes. For the first prize each crop will represent 25 per cent. The yield of cotton will be the weight of the seed cotton grown on I acre, yield of corn will be number of ' bushels of shelled corn derived by weighing all of the corn In the shuck and then shucking and shelling one hundred pounds, taken from different , loads and being an average of the corn and weighing the shelled corn 1 then that per cent of the total num- ? her of pounds of corn In the shuck ' will give tin number of pounds of shelled corn. Divide number of pounds of shelled corn by 56 and this will give number of bushels of shelled corn. The peas are to be threshed, j measured and weighed. The potatoes J are to be measured in an ordinary flour barrel and results given as so ' many barrels of potatoes. The bar- ! reis are to be filled .level full without shaking. The second prize U $100 for the most profit on these four acres, In- j eluding everything that may be grown during this year except fodder. As | experiment stations have proved that it does not pay to pall fodder, the ( hank officials did not wish to encour- j age it. For the second prize uniform j prices were adopted. $2 per bushel for i peas, $1 per bushel for corn, $20 per ton for pea vine hay. $30 per ton for cotton seed, gin weights IS cents f*** | pound for cotton, public ics - In i Bumtej weight- 11.80 per barrel f? jrwsei potatoes, Extra staple ootton was to b? ooinpared with middling short staple on day exiiu sold. In other words, the price re- ] celved for extra staple is to be sub- j mltted with price of middling short I staple on day extra staple is sold. The price of fertilizer is to be the j price paid by contestant, If paid for 1 this fall, 5 per cent to be added if i [?ash was paid in the spring. Stable j manure is $2 per two-horse load or $1 I ptf one-horse load. I/Ot manure Is to I be one-half th? price of stable man- ' ure. The four acres are to be measured by a disinterested committee, and stakes dilven to show boundaries of o res. These sta'.es to be left stand- | :ng until after the 15th of January. 1 111!, The dimensions allowed for t-ach acre Is to be submitted In th<* report. Mr. (J. A.

Mr. vi. a. Lemmon, Bumter, s. C, Dear Sir; To plant these two crops together, is what I have lung advocated. a no 1 will now try to give for the benefit Of all concerned some vie ws Which may be beneficial in the planting and treatment of these crops. First. It is absolutely necessary to prepare a go, j seed bed. Just as you would In your garden for vegetables. Burn oat straw and vetch vines and make an analysis of the ash and you will find that potash is the chief in? gredient, therefore, if the land to be planted is deficient in potash we must supply it. If the land contains suffi cinet potash we must then find some way to liberate the natural supply go as to make it available for the grow? ing crop. Now. taking it for granted that you are planting your oats on land fol? lowing a pea crop, which is tlw best, becaUSS the pea. being a leguminous plant, has stored a vast deal of nitro? gen in your soil for the benefit of the coming crop, especially If the peas have been inoculaied when planted. Aiso the stubble and vines are there ready to your hand to supply all of the phosphoric acid and potash, not all you need though for perfect suc ee.-s; therefore broadcast all the cot? ton seed, wood rakings, stable and barnyard manure that you can get. i Now you are ready for the plow. Dear in mind that oats have no tap roots and that while you want your land plowed deep, you do not want your fertilizers turned down to the bottom of your ietsd bed. 1 would gay let your turn plow, single, or double, I go about four Inches deep and close I together leaving n<? bone. Follow this j with a bull tongue or subsoil plow in , each furrow of th?> torn plow. After this broadcast at least 10?U. lbs. of lime. ( 2000 lbs. would be bet? ter.) Fse lime whish is without mag? nesia or iron, if possible. Harrow in the lime thoroughly, a disk harrow is preferable. Let is r-ernain twenty or thirty days, then hi-rrow again, and plant good red rust-proof oats, two bushels per acre awl twenty lb*, of hairy vetch seed. InocuLi*e the vetch seed and sow wit!* the oats v..i ing seeder or SOWlnSJ bror?dca*t by hnnd, harrow it in huh, ways.

Another benefit the Ums has, la that it w!U correct all sourness in the soil..whether it exists at the time or conusB after preparing and 'anting. It will also hold the moisture and escaping gase?, it will in my opinion also destroy all GQCOOJU and chrysalis which, will in the spring! hatch out destructive insects and' worms to prey upon the oats. veteah and other crops.

Municipal League Experts Endorse, The Short Ballot Bulletin* Sumter, B. C, lias already begun to see results from the inauguration of its new city managar plan. in this city it was found, for several reasons, that the regular commis- j sion plan would not be desirable, but principally because it was found im? possible to secure three qualified men Who could afford to devote enough time to the city's affairs to conduct them efficiently. The idea of a single expert manager was attractive. Now that the first election has tak? en place it has been demonstrated that the city manager feature, inas? much as it takes the burden of ad? ministrative detail off the elected board, makes it possible fo? gsj^swj' ability to assume the resp< iejfl mt municipal best business men ^[ e'.ecte? to govern. of i.i'!^^a^esw^ former mayor and the chief advocate of the new system. Another is a banker, and the third is a prominent merchant. It is practically certain, according to local information, that these men could net have been in? duced to acept public office, had they been compelled to give up a large share of their time to public business. The next step will be the selection of a city manager and it Is not un? likely that tbe columns of some of our leading newspapers and muni? cipal journals will present the unique spectacle in thu country of a city ad? vertising; for a general business man? ager just I ke a private ?oncern. This, by the way. is no uncommon thing in Germany, which is the home of the best municipal administration.
