Mr.. Thomas E. Richardson, of
Wedgefeld, Sumter County, has
been experimenting in the hybridi-
zation of Brazilian ''pop corn and
our native white corn, and has fur
nished the agricultural department
with some results of his expert
ments. By intelligently crossing
the two varieties he has produced
as many as fourteen ears of corn
(much larger than the original pop
corn) from one grain and has grown
thirteen stalks from one grain. He
has also grown from one grain Of
the hybrid corn eight ears Of white
corn weighing two pounds and
thirteen ounces on the cob. The
weighing was done in the Office of
the commissioner. By way of COM
parison, two ears Of the largest
white corn exhibited at the State
Fair were weighed and also two
ears Of yellow Pennsylvania corn,
very large. The product of one
grain of each of the three varieties
showed the following weights
Richardson's hybrid, 2 pounds, Is
ounces; white corn, 2 pounds; yel-
low corn, l pound, 13 ounces.
1t seems that a valuable and
very prolific corn for stock will be
the result Of these experiments,
which Mr.. Richardson still con-
tinues. The next corn will be tested
by the commissioner and in the
experiment farm of the College.
Mr.. Richardson has also greatly
improved the well-known Jones,
long staple upland cotton. Apropos
of this, a South Carolina farmer is
about to try and get patent on a
system of treatment Of cotton by
which he claims that the yield per
acre can be increased 100 per cent.
without additional use Of fertilizers.

An exchange says, "McLane has
been reported as saying that the
political trials to occur in Charles
ton this month, are to result in
making him Governor. In this he
will find himself mistaken" Can
it be that j. Hendrix really does
entertain a hope of being governor
of this State ? Nobody ever looked
upon him as having an undue
amount of judgment, or discretion,
or understanding; but can it be
that the man, like certain animals
of the lower order, is not able to
profit by experience? What has
he to go upon? Or does he expect
to be like the Penitentiary, in his race
for the goyernorship, self-support-
ing? McLane, as a candidate, re-
minds us of Darius Green with his
flying machine; he could do well
enough, but the air is his only sup
port, and that is decidedly too thin,
so down goes j. Hendrix. No,
there's no danger in him; only
edged tools are dangerous. Me-
Lane is tool of the dullest, stup-
idest, most harmless kind.
