I . s. cotton TRADE. \mcricnn Exports Increase I TO Pet Cent In L"> Years. Washington. Dec. 3.?American ex? ports of CCttOn manufactures have in CfOaeod Hfl per cent in the last 13 fi us and are growing, while Im? ports of cotton manufacturers have increased 1 M DOf cent during the same period. Statistics of the Hureau of Foreign and DomOitk Commerce, an? nounced today, show the imports this year will approximate $70,000,000. The eaportl probably will exceed $50, 00,000. Imports are coming in sit about the same rate as in 1910 and 1911, but exports are rapidly increas? ing. The United States, produces of 70 per cent of the world's cotton, ex? ports two-thirds of its production, chiefly to England, Germany, France and 0th sjf European coumries, from which the United States in turn Im? ports large quantltes of cotton man? ufactures, mostly of higher grades Europe, as yet, takes only a very small proportion of American man? ufactured cottons. China ranks first as a market for American cotton cloths, though exports to China this real are considerably less than In earlier ye irs. American clothing and knit goods are exported chiefly to Canada and the United Kingdom. Practically e^ery civilized country is represented in tho list of communities to which Ameri? can cotton goods are exported and while in some cases the totals arc relatively small they are sufficient in m/e and growth to give promise of future expansion In exportation of cotton manu factnre the United states, while mak? ing steady progress, is far behind cer? tain Industrial countries of Europe. Up to this time American cotton manufacturers have been < hietly oc? cupied in supplying Ihi home mar? ket, only a small part of domestic production entering into internation? al trade.

SOUTH (AHOUNA EXPERT MENT STATION. Press Bulletin So, ?i. National Corn Imposition School for Boys. A great deal has been said and written regarding the National Corn Exposition School for boys to be held in connection with the National Corn Exposition. Columbia, S. C. January 28..February sth, 1912, but there are probably many people who are not familiar with the details. The first Question to consider is what is this school to be? It is to be a source of Information and inspir? ation and at the same time an OUttlfg for the prise winning boys of the Boya' Corn Club of the entire South. An effort is b. ing made to have every county in each Southern State send the two boys making the best rec ords. These will be properly cared for and well supervised in Columbia. Bach day they will be divided Into |sK|uadi ami given Instruction by the experts in charge of the exhibits from the different States. A pleasure trip lu Charleston and a cruise around the p< Int? of interest at the city "has been planned, thus giving the boya an op? portunity to see the historic place. At the elOSe of the weeks SChOOl, the boys will be given diplomas or cer? tificate s shov '.ng that each boy has taken the work prescribed. I ?n the last night of the school, the city of Columbia will uive a banquet to all the boys attending, where the toast master w ill be the boy holding the la st let ord in the entire South. Here they will have at. opportunity to meet boys from ail the Southern states and many of the Sorthern as well. They will study the exhibits of all the states represented, thus getting direct Information as to the products of these states. The problems being worked out by different Experir.u it Stations will lie studied ami the Im? portance of each problem stressed. These are only a ver> few of the things tlie boys will gel from this school 'I'he inspiration given the hoys lure will be worth fully is much as a year's work in the ordinary school The school will be conducted alone Ncuii-militnr) lines, members of the Senior * 'lass of Clemson College act? ing a^- otli< t ; The school will be und< r ile direct charae of Mr. J It. 11 od by, an experienced man from tl? flhnmil.
