age has been in the past; but mind
you t is an average, not high one b.
ennial period and low the next, a sure
and slowly growing income; it will
increase only as the wealth of the
state increases.
But how is it going to affect my
Ipochetbook? How much will have
TO pay in taxes in order to get this
seed That will double my crop yields?
Lets figure it out together: Suppose
you have S0-acre farm. valued At
SlO0 per acre If assessed at fall
value your tax would be 3 cents for
each OF the eighty hundred dollars
or 50 40. On 100 acre farm the tax
| would be 100 times cents or $3.50.
But the rate OF assessment is Only
about one-th;rd the real value: then,
on the so acres you would pay tax
of 80 cents. On 160 acres you would
pay but $6.160. A tax Of l cent per
acre.
Yet what, precisely, will you gain
| by this one cent per acre tax? As
stated above the average wheat yield
for the state is 10 bushels. The Uni
y2rsity has varieties that it would like
to distribute to You that yield 50 bush
els per acre: An increase of II bush
els of wheat per acre. The average
corn yield per acre for the state is
q bushels; the University has corn
that has averaged for four years in
the q counties where it has been
tried, A bushels per acre: An in
crease OF II bushels of corn per acre
But to rule out any chance of this be-
ing dream that can't come true, let
Ius suppose that the distribution of
this sesd would increase your har-
vests only l bushel per acre.
"On acres Of corn you would har-
vest so more bushels of corn. which
at forty-five cents per bushel present
price is forty-eight cents, believe)
would be net gain OF $50. On 100
acres. you would gain $72.
Put the same ground in wheat:
so bushels at 10 cents (prssent price is
50 cents) would give you a gain of
$50. Put the 160acre farm in wheat
4 and your gain will be $12O. Yet -
be safe, let us suppose you paid taxes
on full valuation, and then some, sup,
pose your tax on so acres to be $3.50
and on 100 acres s.. Then by an eX-
penditure Of $3.50 you would get back
$50; or if it was 16O-acre farm, by
paying s. you would get S12O.

McITer Williamson Talks.

Columbia, Dec. 6-McIver William
son, whose name will always be con-
nected with corn in South Carolina,
the man whose one short story set
more farmers to thinking along intel
hgent lines than any other article, to-
night talked corn to over 100 farmers
and a large number of visitors, at the
South Atlantic States Corn exposition,
which is being held in Craven Hall.
Declaring that the corn exposition
marks distinct epoch in the history
of South Carolina, Mr.. Williamson
launched into the dissertation of corn,
which was interesting and food for
thought for every one here. He said
that the exposition marks the turning
point in the old methods to the new,
and that he had not expected to live
to see such a movement consummated.
eve should all be proud of this ex-
position" said the speaker. He told
the farmers present that the sons were
teaching Them how to farm, and that
one of the most gratifying reasons
for the corn movement is that the
boys would be farmers tomorrow. He
spoke of the corn movement as a great
educational campaign. wherever
there is plenty of corn, the hogs will
come without calling" This state
ment was made In introduction by
Mr.. Williamson, i'm introducing
eu1ogy on FEthe hog" which is almost
as prophetic as his short, but to the
point, story ON "corm."
Following his discussion of the hog,
he gave a technical, yet entertaining
lecture on how to grow corn. He gave
his experience and the fight that he
kept up for years to gain knowledge
for more and better corn on South
Carolina land
