any occasion, seemed to get inspiration
from what the other speakers had said.
from his audience Of bright, intelligent
girls who will one day be highly train
ed mistresses of South Carolina homes,
from the boys who had been working
so faithfully to make two ears OF corn
grow where only one grew before, and
was at his best. He made most cap
ital talk that covered a lot Of inter-
esting ground; but probably the most
telling point in it all was based on
the achievement of one Of his demon-
stration friends who this year made 22S
profit of $3.50. He did not give the
name of the party who did this: but he
drew a striking comparison between
the life of such a man working ten
/ acres of corn and the life Of the man
| who works il. & store at $50 month,
and called the attention of the girls
| TO the wisdom of marrying farmer.
This farmer he showed had an income
Of $1,000 a year over living expenses
and the $50 clerk who could hardly call
his soul his own, had nothing left ar
ter paying board for himself and wife.
He reviewed some Of the things that
South Carolina farmers had achieved
during the past few years In the way
of extraordinary progress and argued
that they had only begun to learn how
to farm. Then he took some Of the
specimen ears Of corn that the BOYS
had brought in the seed selection con-
test and demonstrated the points desir-
ed in the highest breeding. The leading
noint. he explained was pure. straight
breed-a corn that was all lite or all
yellow. There are two kinds OF cobs.
red and white. In the case OF a pure
red cob corn. all the cobs would be red,
and in the case Of a white cob corn, all
the cobs would he white. There must
be no mixture with some red and some
white The must be no blue grains
either. All of the grains must be the
same color. The rows must be even,
straight close together, and the cobs
must be filled out to both ends. The
grains too. must be neither too long
~ too short and tight on the cob.
The long grain is preferable to the
short grain; but too long a grain Is OBJ
iectionable. He smoke in high apDre-
citation Of what the York county boys
had done this year. and told them that
he hoped that next year there would be
more Of thern in the club and that they
would be able to do still better.
