OCONEE'S CORN CONTEST.

The OcOnee corn contest this year
was participated in by only fourteen
OF our farmers. Why did SO few
compete? Every farmer who enter
ed the contest is better prepared for
next years work. He has his actual
experience OF 1909 to back him; he
knows Cor ought to know where his
method fell short, and he knows the
best points of his 1909 plans. The
thing Is for each of the 1909 con-
testants to study how to improve for
next year, and for other farmers to
come into the contest next year to
beat the 1909 contestants. Every
farmer entering the contest adds Just
that much to the worth of the coun-
ty, considered in an agricultural
light, and he certainly adds to his
own profits, either by an increased
yield, or by the actual worth, for the
future, Of the valuable information
he gathers for himself by close OH
servation and careful, systematic
accounting Of his business. Farming
Is business; bear that in mind.
And If the other business men Cf this
country paid as little attention to
the details of their business as the
average farmer does to the details Of
his, there wouldn't be a dozen sol
vent business men in South Carolina.
We have no knowledge of what
hn rn1 ,l,1x
for OcOnee, but we doubt If it will
be higher than 25 bushels per acre,
and there will be a considerable re-
duction from this general average on
upland corn-and it must be remem-
bered that the contest was on up.
land
OF the fourteen acres embraced in
the contest 81 bushels, 46 pounds
was the largest yield for one acre,
and 81 bushels I3 pounds the small
est, the average contest yield per
acre being 81 bushels, pound, 4
ounces. In other words, Of the IA
farmers who entered the contest. the
one who made the least showing in
the final measure beat. on upland,
the general average some bushels.
1t would be a mighty interesting,
and also most valuable, piece Of in
formation if each of the II farmers
would furnish for publication just
what his actual cash outlay was, and
how much time it took to prepare
and cultivate his acre. How many
farmers know these things? How
many know how much they make,
in dollars and cents, in bushels and
pounds? And of those who do know
how much actual money they made
on their general farm operations, how
many can tell on what they made it?
There is wide range for study and
thought on the farm, and every far
mer ought to study. A man should
find out what he and his land can
produce in greatest quantity at least
cost, and then make speciality OF
1t. Any business man who does not
know where he makes his profits and
where his losses come in is handi-
capped at the very beginning
We hope to see more of our
farmers take hold of the contest next
year, and all OF them should pay
close attention TO both phases of
their bnsincss-profit and loss. One
is quite as important as the other.

Tells How He Made His Yield and
. What il Cost.

We have just received a letter
from J, II. Barnett, in which he tells
us what the cost &C preparing for his
crop, planting, cult' !ating and har-
yesting 1t was, and how he made 81
bushels and 46 pounds of corn; 426
bundles of fodder and 2S5 punches OF
tops on one acre of upland. He says:
In December, 1908, | applied three
tons barnyard manure (six loads)
broadcast and broke the land about
10 inches deep with three horse
disc plow. On April 9TH, 1909, ran
81 burrows through the acre with a
Mallory plow, followed by a subsoil,
the burrows being feet inches
apart. | applied two tons a loads)
OF manure and two hundred pounds
OF 16 per cent acid in the 81 rows,
and bedded on the manure and acid
with one-horse Kentucky turner
| and subsoil with a bull-tongue drawn
by one mule.
On April 18th l ran a disc harrow
about three inches deep over the
land, and ran 81 rows feet in
ches apart with a Mallory plow, fol-
lowed with subsoil, leaving my
compost In the middle of the row,
feet 10 inches from the corn. On
April 18th / planted the corn with a
corn planter about inches wide in
the water furrow, down in the clay
without any manure of any kind. On
May Is | ran around corn; June 3,
ran around the corn again, and on
June 22 | ran around the third tine,
throwing the dirt from the corn each
time with one-horse Kentucky
turner. / also ran cultivator
through the middle of the rows on
May IL and June 10. On July 9TH |
broke every other middle with Ken
lucky turn plow and applied seven
hundred pounds commercial ferti-
liZer.
On July Sth broke the ether mid
die with 2O-inch sweep, running
three burrows to the middle, and ap-
piled six hundred pounds CONNER
cial fertilizer, same mix as first ap-
plication. On July 18th | applied
two hundred pounds nitrate of soda,
broadcast, in the middle Of the rows.
On July II | sowed two bushels CT
peas broadcast in middle of rows and
ran 2O-inch sweep three times to
the row. This last plowing was to
plant the peas.

Der was Earl Bullock, the same man
who last September robbed the bank

In escaping last September, Bull

shot and fatally wounded Policeman

TO arrest him IN Lawrence. Later
the officer died.
Until to-day no trace of Bullock
has been found. In the first rob-

Driven to bay in a wood a short
distance from Eudora, Bullock fa-

crowd gathered at the Jail, and it is
feared that Mckay, BullOck's accom-

Earl Bullock. the younthful bandit,
died last Saturday night at Law

Friends Say Administration
Has Deserted Graft
Prosecution.
SENT RECORDS AND
ASKED NO QUESTIONS
Claim That Taft's Cabinet
Will No Longer Aid
In Trials.

WASHINGTON, May % - Heney
does not receive the same support
from the present administration that
ne did while Roosevelt was president,
II the impression prevalent today
among the prosecutors friends is cor
rect. The impression was created by
the announcement that the department
of justice has sent to San Francisco
complete copies of the records of
Heney's entire legal connection with
the federal government on Calhoun's
request.
Attorney General Wickersham, in
addition to sending the original copies
of salary bills and vouchers, secured
from the treasury department, for a
period of five years, sent the original
commissions to Heney from Roosevelt,
Attorney Devlin of San Francisco. that
the government has waived the usual
be turned over to the court upon re-
quest.
Heney's friends declare that prompt
and wholesale response to the request
of the defendant in the criminal prose-
cution is no contract with Roosevelt's
administrations refusal to aid the
graft defendants, and that it creates
fear that the federal government is
no longer back of the graft fights
waged in the various states and cities.
Wickersham declared today that he
is ignorant of the details of Heney's
connection with the government in the
absence of the original records which
he sent to San Francisco.
