eoREsToN's FINE FARMING.
Mai. Land and Col. Hudglns Each Have
Fine Corn CrOps-King Cotton not yet
Dethr0ned.

Mr. ED1ToR:--According to promise
I give you sketch of my travels.
left Manning on the I P. NJ. train, pass
ed by the "City of Corn" and spent
the night at Greeleyville. Next morn
ing I returned to Foreston, and was
soon in the fields, inspecting the corn,
measuring the distance, counting the
stalks, etc. Before I left Manning I
visited Mr.. W. K. Bells farm, and
found that he had a fine field of corn,
25 acres, which will be hard to put
down by even the "prize acre men. :"
Mr.. Bells corn is on seven foot rows,
two feet apart on the row, therefore
he has 5000 stalks to the acre. The
variety of corn planted By Mr.. Bell
is that commonly plantedi in our coun-
tv. It is worth the time of anybody
who wants to see fine corn to visit
MIR. Bells field.
MI. John Thames also has q very
fine acre of corn. I did not count
the stalks or measure the distance
Of his corn, but would say it would
be we'll for our farmers to visit his
crop down in the branch, and see 70,
themselves how easy it is to make
corn provided we have first the branch
bottom and then the spunk to tackle it.
Now let us return to Foreston. I
found several fields of Maj. Lands
corn near the town. Some five foot
rows, and others seven feet. The five
foot rows contain 30l0 stalks and
promises to be very fine. The next
field, his six foot rows, were thicker
and contains by actual measurement
1912 stalks to the acre. In distance
of 35 yards I counted on one row SO
stalks, and my friend, P. W. Wynd-
ham, followed and counted 96 silks on
the SO stalks, so you see we have
struck bottom. His variety Of seed,
however, is from Illinois, and I am
told that experts say it is not thick
enough.
Ny next trip was to Col. Hrdgins's
crop, and just let me say here that
Col. Hudgins having stimulated the
people to raising more corn, has this
wear turned his attention to cotton,
and from the appearance Of his fields,
about Is acres in all, I think he will
convince the planters in his section
that sKing Cotton can be proftably
raised there finally visited the
prize acre. Well now, Mr.. Editor, I
have heard people specializing on this
corn, but yourscribe will not undertake
TO say how much it will make. Let me
tell YOU it is a sight; 10000 to 10000
stalks, 10000 to $4,000 ears! Who can
say how much it will make? know this
much, if the worms do not injure it
too much, and the next crop turns out
well, Col. Hudgins will scare somebody
when the actual measurement takes
place.
cannot say who has the best corn,
the truth of the business is, each of
the gentlemen alluded to has a right
to feel proud of his corn, and in the
opinion of this scribe is head and
shoulders above their brother farmers
in making corn. Let us hope that
our people will bestir themselves, and
that next year many of our farmers
will "go and do likewise. "
Rain in abundance, and the out
look is plenty of corn, and some to
spare another year. NIX.

FoRmToS, July 2.-Owing to the
rain on Friday and Saturday last, tle
Union Meeting convening here was
not so well attended as was hoped for.
We however had a very pleasant
meeting. All the churches with but
one exception were represented, and
the program published in your paper
some time since, fully carried out The
next meeting of the body will be held
with the Graham church near Sum-
ter on Friday before the 5th Sunday
in Sept. next.
That game of base ball of which so
much has been said, and which I
neglected to report, was played here
last week between the Foreston and
Greeleyville clubs, There was some
good playing, the best we have ever
seen in the country. The score stood
l3 to 12 in favor of Foreston. Much
credit is due to MIR. Dickson, as
pitcher (who assisted our boys), for
the able manner in which he deliver
ed the ball, and also Mr.. Montgom-
cry, as catcher, who knew exactly how
to take them in. Upon the whole the
clubs were very evenly matched.
Messrs. Sparks, Campbell, and Can
tey, of the Greeleyville club, did some
fine work, and so indeed did they oil
on both sides. We understand they
are to play again in the near future.
A burlesque game was played last
week between the old men and the
boys, Maj. C. S. Land umpired the
game; Dr.. L. W. Nettles scored; and
I believe the little ones were winners,
though the older heads say the Maj.
showed psrtiality.
