MKASVRINCi THE PRIZE ACRES.
Meeting of the CH| NutioiiHl Rank
DhcrHllfcraUon Prlxo Contestants.
On Thursday. 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

City National Hank has Offered.
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. If you

THE SLMTER PI*AN,
First Election slams Advantages of
New Bye ten ? 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

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.
