The State Fair.

COLUMBIA, S c., Sept. 22nd, 1896.
EDITORS INTELLIGENCE The ap.
preaching State Fair bids fair to be a sue
cesstul one, that inquiries for stock ac-
commodations come daily to the officials,
indicating deep interest in having a
splendid exhibition in all departments.
To induce an unusually large mum Der
of visitors and increased exhibits. you
are appealed to to use your pen fre.
quently through your columns to that
end.
In the absence of an appropriation by
the Legislature since 1890, except the
S2,400 for 1896, the management has been
forced to lessen the amount Of premiums
prior tn 1892, amounting before that time
to $4,000, which went directly into the
pockets of farmers
By united effort upon the part of the
press and to friends of progress generally
it is confidently believed the Fair of 1896
will be equal, if not SURPRISING, all others
in the past.
Relying on the patriotism and public
spirit of which South Carolinians are
noted, success is assured.
The rates Of passage for the Fair, as an
nounced by the several roads. will receive
the immediate attention of the officials Of
the Society to the end that the rate of 2
cents mile for the round trip may be BE-
cured. All persons wishing premium
list will apply to either Of the unnersign-
ed. Respectfully, L. D. CHILDs,

Hing Corn.

To the Editor of the State: To q man
interested in the development Of his
State, anything that will develop the
State attracts his attention. The criticism
that the South ia lazy is false. It is be-
lieved over the West and East, however,
lust because we do not rush after the
things of this life. A walk out on the
Winnsboro road clused me 10 see one OF
the instruments in common use on the
farms North and WeSt-a corn husker.
This machine is great labor-saving ma.
chine, and is we'll worth Investigation by
our farmers. It shucks the corn and
gives a clean ear. The old-time corn
shucking and its songs and drinking is
thing of the past. The farmer brings to
the machine his corn crop-stalk, blade
and ear, feeds everything into the ma
chine and gets everything back-the
clean car in one place, the stalk and blade
ready for food in another. And the stock
eats everything This day, when the
saving OF all that can be saved is grow
ing question, and which must be met,
has partial answer for the farmer In the
corn husker and shredder. A different
practice from corn raising than that we
use must come into use. It is to plant
more corn to the hill, and cut the corn,
stalk and all, just as the fodder ripens.
About third more good fodder is made
from each stalk. The wise can run and
read.
Talking to one farmer about planting
three or four grains Of corn to the hill,
the statement was made that 1.-THE land
could not raise more than one good
stalk" This statement was rather dis
l,t &c, hof q
land does ra SO more than one ear to the
hill, and that some Of the labor-saving
devices, as we'll as money saving devices,
are being used by some Of our advanced
farmers, you pick mp heart rgain and
continue to work for the building up Of
the State.
We will have to do away with our sys-
tenn CT corn planting and make use of
better. Better, because in corn States
the plan in use is the result of time and
exptr ment, and proved by long use.
One OF the b.st Of Cardinals men-a
planter-said that he had tried the north
ern wa, of harvesting corn one year and
thought it a failure. His experiment was
made 80 years ago Today two farmers
trying it say they would not return to
the old way. Plow the land with two
horse plow, harrow, roll, then harrow,
and leave the land level; cultivate just as
long as possible. When the blade on the
ear begins to glaze send into the field the
corn harvester, tue greatest labor-saving
machine for corn raiser that exists.
Treat the corn just as you would wheat
or oats. Leave it in the field shocked up
to cure. At odd times have your corn
shocking. Barn manure is the great
fertilizer. Result, two TO four times as
much corn. CLoUGH w. SINS.

The State Farms.


Col. w. A. Neal returned to the city
yesterday from trip to the State farms,
where he had been looking over the crops.
He said that everything pointed to good
crops both of cotton and corn. He did
not think the drought had hurt the cotton
of the State farms as much as in other
places.
One thousand bales was what ought to
have been made this year. but he did not
think the crop would exceed 500. This
was opening very fast and about 25 bales
per day WAS being picked, be continue
Already 200 bales we're out. He thought
it would be November before all the cot
ton was opened. This would be the case
on the State farms because about 500
acres OF cotton was on bottom land.
The corn was fine. said Col. Neal, and
there would probably not less than IL, 600
bushels made. That, with the 6.OO0 bush
els already on hand, would give large
surplus. There was hay, fodder, etc.,
enough to last two years.
In bag Col. Neal carried wild tur-
key that his son. w. A. Neal, Jr., had
killed while out hunting with Mr.. George
Bunch yesterday. He wounded large
gobbler, but 1t got away.-Colnmbia
