The Atlantic States Corn exposition
was a success from every standpoint.
The exposition closed Friday. There
were several hundred farmers to at
tend from North Carolina, South Caro-
lima and Georgia and great deal of
interest in corn production was arous-
ed. A. ID. Hudson, the president of
the exposition, announced that the
exposition would be held again in
South Carolina and in Columbia. The
Columbia Chamber of Commerce will
cooperate for the success Of the ex-
position. Approximately $4,000 was
given in prizes.
You can say for me-" said Mr..
Hudson, that the South Atlantic Corn
exposition was a success from every
point of view. We have been laboring
in season and out of season to make
1t what it was, and as this Is the first
ever held south of the Mason and
Dixon line, there have Deen times
when we did not know whether it
would meet our hopes but now, as
the authoritative head. can say that
the exposition was entirely satisrac-
tory Farmers came from North Caro-
lima and Georgia, and the class Of Wis
itors was far above the average of
that ever seen at any agricultural
meeting in the South

could see them standing around the

spiration to watch the work of O.
Schaub and C. b. Williams Of North
Carolina and hear their practical ad-
dresses. We sincerely hope we may
see more of them.
We believe this exposition to be n
great step in improving the seed corn.
1t is expected that it Will drive out
the mixed mongrel and Indifferent
varieties and make it possible to OBJ
tain seed Of reputable breeding, pur-
lty and producing powers. a few cal
