AGAIN NEXT YEAR
4. D. HUDSON MAKES OFFltI-:A
ANN0UNCEMENT.
Columbia State.

Atlantic States Corn eAt-4oiuOA' "-i1r-'
has been III progress at Craven haH
during the week. The people of th@
city failed to support the exposition.
The exposition was a success from
overv other standpoint. The eXposi-
dion closed yesterday. There we're
several hundred farmers to attend
from North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia and great deal Of inter
est in corn produced as aroused. A.
D, Hudson, the president Of the eN-
position, announced yesterday that
the exposition would be held again IN
South Carolina and in Columbia. The
Columbia chamber Of commerce VIII
cooperate for the success OF the eA-
position. Approximately $4,000 was
given in prizes.
"You can say for me-" said Mr.. Hud-
son. that the South Atlantic Corn eS-
Dosition was a success from every
noint of view. We have been labor1ng
in season and out of season to make 1t
what it was, and as this is he t1rst ever
held south of the Mason and DIXON
lime. there have been times when we
did not know whether it would meet
our hopes, but now, as the author'ta-
tive head, I can say that the exposition
was entirely satisfactory. Farmers
carne from North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia, and the class OF
visitors was far above the average OF
THAT ever seem at any agricultural
nesting in the South.
= People Interested.
"The people ere interested. They
I came to learn and to find out what
quality in good seed corn meant You
could see them standing around the
Judges, watching the scoring OF the
samnIes and asking questions about
points of good corn. 1t was an IN
spiration to watch the work OF l. y.
schsnb and C. B. Williams Of North
Carolina, and hear their practical ad-
dresses. We sincerely hope we may
see more of them.
ssWe believe this exposition to be a
great step in improving the seed corn.
II is expected that it will drive out
hhe mixed mongrel and indiH's II
varieties and make it possible to OBJ
tain seed of reputable breeding pur-
iy and producing powers. A few cal
e,1lations on the size of the exposition
are interesting. There We're over Eoo
exhibits, which contained approx
nnately 24,CO0 ears of corn, which, II
nlaced end to end, would have ex-
tended a distance of three miles. It
required over a thousand yards, or
nearly three-quarters of a mile OF
bunting to do the decorating.
For Greater Exposition.
"Plans are already on foot Tor
greater and better exposhition next
wear Atlanta has offered $4,000 to
be used in promoting alone, and RaA-
eish has made a liberal proposition,
but notwithstanding all this, it is the
intention to hold the exposition Of 1911
in Columbia. tha chamber OF COM
,erce and the Cotton Seed Crlshers'
association, through B. +. Iaylor'
guaranteeing at least $4,000, WITH
which to meet the expenses. South
Carolina is to be congratulated on
this great forward movement, Wnlcn
means more and better corn. Il has
been due to the combined forces work.
ing for the betterment of agriculture.
Clemson college, the state department
of agriculture, the farm cemonsfra-
tion work. the office of farm manage
ment of the United States department
of agriculture and the general indus
trial progress of the people have each
contributed its share in making corn
growing such that it was possible to
hold the exposition.
