DIGGING GRAVE FOR STATE DISPENSARY Resolution Provides for Abolition of; the Commission?Will Appoint One to Gauge and Examine All Liquors. Columbia, Feb. 17.?Senator Croeson's joint resolution to wind up the affairs of the State dispensary this morning passed its second reading in the house of representatives after some rather warm debate and after some amendments had been voted down. The resolution rill have to pass its last reading in the house when it re-convenes perhaps next week and after that it will be come in force as a law and cannot be vetoed by the governor. Section 1 of the resolution provides that the Statefdispensary commission be hereby abolished. The . second section-.of - the resolution requires the commission to make its final report to the governor and to the general assembly within 30 days after the passage of this resolution, and that it turn into the State treasury all monies in its hands arising from the winding-up of the affairs ( of the late State dispensary and that it turn over to the historical commiseiop all the books and records pertaining to the winding up of its ' affairs. The attorney general is directed to proceed with the settlement of any and all claims of the State against any parties arising out of transactions with the former State i dispensary, etc. He is also ordered i to assume the defense of the suit s instituted by the Carolina Glass t Company against the members of i the former dispensary commission t for about $20,000 and to retain as a 1 sort of counsel in this and any similar cases the attorneys who have ? been employed by the chairman and S a majority of the former commie- ( siou to file the answer in the cause, i etc. Mr. Sawyer's motion to strikeout t the resolving words of the resolu- 1 tion was killed by a vote of 74 to 8, 1 and an amendment of K. P. Smith, ] providing that no member of the i general assembly be retained in the 1 connection mentioned in the act, t was also rejected by a vote of 77 to t 16. It;> is a matter of common c knowledge that W. F. Stevenson, I member of the house from Chester- e field, has been emDloved and is still t employed in connection with the c suit- against the members of the former commission. The members ? of the present dispensary commis- e sion are W. P. Stackhouse, J. V. ( Wallace, Fred Dominick, Thomas t F. Brantley and E. M. Thompson. 1 POSTPONE CONSIDERATION OK CODE. By a vote of 32 to CG the house today voted down a motion to take up for immediate consideration the bill providing for the adoption of the new code of laws. During the progress of this motion the house became almost riotous at some points. George S. Mower, presiding as speaker, ruled that debate was not . in order on the question, but various members persisted in explaining various matters under the guise of "personal privilege remarks." It developed in this manner that the judiciary committee, which has charge of this matter, has considered propositions from law book publishing companies for the printing of the code and has practically aimed at an offer to print, check over and annotate the code in approved style for $5,000 less than the code could be printed under present arrangements. ^ A Kind Letter.

Now as to reducing the amount guano this year :is compared with her years by the farmers 1 do not low. There is much being said ong that line in other places. I )tico that Moxey, at Ix>ckhart inction, says: "Don't use so much lano. . . Deep preparation of ie soil for corn is the idea and we ,n make it withoutsomuch guano." hat's it so far as I can see and so ras 1 have experienced. I have intended for this myself in a small ay. I have raised good corn withit guano and I am confident that I .n do so again by deep preparation id the manner of planting. The ist year is the first time that 1 ever ?ed guano upon corn and some of ie poorest that I had had guano ider it, but I am not wholly controlling the use of some guano unsr corn.

But there are any people who seem to think they nnot raise anything without guano id so there is a lot of money leavg home to settle fertilizer hills, rof. W. F. Massey don't believe in uch commercial fertilizers for corn,'' it instead raise legumes, feed stock, ake manure, and only use, if you le, phosphoric acid and potash, rof. Alva Agee, of the National ackman and Farmer, of Pittsburg, i., said that he was doubtful if ?rn could be raised economically ith guano. Col. K. J. Redding, Georgia, said that a heavy applition of guano was an excess and nsequently a loss. All of these slieve in legume crops, feeding of limals or turning und^r crimson over crops before corn.

MARTIN jj At Meeting in Chamber of Commerce j At Union, South Carolina, February 10, 1912. < 5 The objects of the Boys' Corn a Clubs as conducted by the United $ States Department of Agriculture t are as follows: | First, to teach the A B C of agri- j culture in a practical manner. Second, to teach love of plant life $ and value of soil. t Third, to dignify labor. | fl Fourth, to give purpose to youth g at a critical and opportune time. ? Fifth, to teach earning and own- ? ing. m Sixth, to help family. Seventh, to show value of rivalry ' and co-operation in the production and marketing of crops. Eighth, to vitalize schools. !* Ninth, to develop manhood and womanhood. Tenth, to help each boy to demonstrate good farming to his community aud to the world. The following are some of the re- | suits accomplished in this work in | 1911: 55,075 boys from twelve S Southern States were enrolled. Seven of the boys produced more ? than 200 bushels of corn to the acre | at an average cost per bushel of 6 20 4-7 cents per bushel. The aver- ? age of the prize winners who made ? the'trip to Washington was 166 1-2 ? bushels. I Hundreds of other boys produced 1 between 100 and 200 bushels each 3 on their acres also at a low cost. \ The record of Junius Hill, of At- S talla, Ala., is a very striking one. & He grew 212 bushels per acre at a cost of 8.6 cents per bushel. Some of the other records were nearly as good. For instance, Bennie Beeson, of M f i nol 1 r\ Mioo *%?/>/! OO*" v*\/UV*VU?AV) illioo. ) JilUUUl/CU I ^ I bushels at a cost of 14 cents. Ben j Leath, of Kensington, (la., pro- i duerd 214 bushels at a cost of 1-4.2 * 1 cents per bushel and Eber A. Kim- ^ j brough, of Alexander City, Ala., produced 224 bushels at a cost of 4 | 19.8 cents a bushel. Claude McDonald, of Hamer, S. C., grew 210 T bushels at a cost of 83 cents. Fifty- ? ! two \xjys in Georgia produced yields X 1 Above 100 bushels. Their average ^ I cost was 11> cents per bushel. In ? | the Seventh Congressional District . alone in that State twenty-one boys T grew more than 100 bushels each on || their acres. In Yazoo County, f1 Jktifas., twenty-one boys averaged ? lll.G bushels at an average cost of f 19.7. This makes a? net profit on 21 acres of $1,646.43. In Monroe I County, Ala., twenty-one boys aver- * aged 77.8 bushels per acre. In Bun- X combe County, N. C.( ten boys aver- ? aged 88 bushels per acre. In Edge- i combe County, N. C., seventeen ? boys averaged 97.78 bushels. In I Pitt County of the same State teji boys averaged 85.8 bushels per acre. X In Sussex County, Va., sixteen boys f averaged 81 3-5 bushels. In Lou- ^ don County, Va., twenty-one boys averaged 82 2-3 bushels. In Rock- " ingham County, Va., thirty-eight ? lK>ys averaged 68 bushels. In Al bemarle County, Va., thirty-one > boys averaged 74 1-4 bushels. Ten boys in Louisiana averaged 120.5 bushels at an average cost of 10 cents per bushel. Seventeen boys made between 75 and 100 bushels at an average cost of 20 cents. Ninety-two boys exhibited at the Louisiana Fair. These ninety-two boys grew 5,701 bushels. The coming of the National Corn F.xhibition to Columbia in January, 1012, furnishes an occasion for extra effort on the part of the South Carolina !x>ys. South Carolina has taken a prominent part of the Boys' Corn Work in the past. It will be la calamity if these boys fail this year. The National Corn Show hopes to have 500 prize winning boys present in Columbia. It will be fine if the delegation from Union County should stand at the head of the list.
