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.

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
