The South Atlantic States Corn
Exposition, held in Columbia, marks
an epoch in the history OF the South.
Never has there been so much fine
corn brought together south OF the
Ohio and west Of the Mississippi
river. It Is not pleasure event, but
Is educa ticnal. The farmers Of North
Carolina, South Carolina AMI Geor-
gia were shown, in concrete form,
that the great, boastcd corn belt OF
the West has at last moved SoIth.
Tho Exposition stands for more
and better corn, which means mere
live stock and hogs, and consequent
ly bread and msat, f., the millions
Of people in the South. The Eypc-
a't'cn 81 owed what can be done Oh
the broad acres OF the South. It
shows that the broad acres Of the
routh are more sdlpt@d to the Gill
ture OF ccrn than the plains of the
West.
Tho Exposition w7s tie clmcx Of
the 160.O0O.OO0 bushels increlse III
the corn rro 'ucticn Fl the South. The

that the boys Of the South have be-
ccme great farmers, an that they
are c:Tab'e cf teaching their fathers
new methods 1! shcws that at last
the farmer has adopted intelligent
methods and is rot f1l'cwing the
trail left by cotton. The EXn "sition

a nuclers OF what is to be net year,
and in tn ye'rs to come.
