COTTON PRIZE OFFERED.
Thousand Dollars For The Best Long
Staple.

Columbia, Feb. 2-For the growth
and development of staple cottons in
South Carolina, Lewis w. Parker has
In behalf Of the mills which he re-
presents, which use staple cotton,
made a donation of $1,000 to the
farm demonstration work Of the Uni
ted States department Of agriculture.
AT recent meeting of the South
Carolina Manufacturers association
the sum Of $1,000 was given for the
same purpose. The federal govern
ment spends over $4,000 annually
on the farm demonstration work i'm
this State and these donations will
bring the amount to be used this wear
to $4,000.
There are over 80 agents of the
farm demonstration department at
work in the State at the present time.
The gift from Mr.. Parker and the
Manufacturers association means
much not only to the textile indus-
tries but the farmers.
The mills of South Carolina use a
staple cotton that is grows in other
states of the South. Almost every
pale OF cotton produced in this State
has to be shipped away. 1t is the pur-
pose of the manufacturers to encour-
age the growth and development of
cottons of long staple so that the
crop IN this State will be used by the
mills and thus save large amounts in
freight charges.

one Thousand Dollars Given For
Prizes Will Mean a Great Deal to
the Development OF the Intensive
Plan.

columbia, Feb. 2.-For the pur-
pose OF providing better corn seed
not only for the members of the
association, but for every farmer in
the State, the South Carolina Corn
Breeders association was organized
here yesterday with a membership of
80. Those in attendance were repre-
sentative farmers from all sections
or the State and there was a lively
interest displayed in all of the pro-
ceedings of the meeting. 1t was urged
upon the members that it is neces-
sary to breed corn seed that will be
adaptable to this climate. The organ
lzation was perfected and many of the
details for the future of the organiz-
alton arranged.
A. G. Smith, farm management
agent in this State, Of the United
States department Of agriculture. an
nounced at the convening of the
meeting that A. E. Gonzales. presi-
dent OF The State company, had given
$1,000 to be used as premiums for
those that do the best corn breeding
within the next two years. ]. N. Har-
per stated to those present that he
would offer a prize Of $25 for the
best ear of corn produced in the State
during the present year. The men,
bers of the association will have the
privilege of entering their specimens
in the State corn contest and in the
national contest. The sessions Of the
association were held in the office of
Commissioner Watson.
A resolution was passed indorsing
the proposed corn exposition TO be
held in Columbia next fall and =
committee was appointed to take the
matter up with the Columbia chamber
OF commerce.
1t was decided to memorialize the
legislature to pass an act calling for
the inspection Of all seed. This bill
Will be of the same nature as the
measures calling for inspection of
commercial foodstuffs and ilIumi-
mating oil now pending before the
general assembly. Speeches by the
members of the association present
indicated that the farmers of the
State were having to buy seed of an
Inferior nature and that an inspect
ion would prevent this. 1t was also
brought out that the Corn Breeders
association I'd been organized for
the purpose bf securing better seed.
After the organization o. the
association had been perfected the
following officers were elected: A.D.
Hudson, Newberry county, president;
l.. L. Baker, Bishopville, vice presi-
dent; r. X. Hayes, Dillon county,
secretary and treasurer.

Shislds For Soldiers.

Experiments conducted in England
suggest the possibility that shields

Steel shields three millimetcrs IN

range Of 400 yards.
The small size OF the shield. which
weighs only seven pounds. requires
that the soldier shall lie prone on the
ground in order to be sheltered. Each
shield has Ioophole for the rife aud
studs at the sides. so that series OF
them can be linked into continuous

AeropIane Regulation.

In the very infancy>sf navigation it
was found essential that every ship
that sailed the sea should have home
and possess its papers to prove us
identity and ownership. Those vessels
that could produce no sea letters or
ships papers were. treated as pirates
or presumed TO be engaged upon no
lawful business. That was the frst
stage in the law OF the sea. 1t stands
TO reason and it will involve no hard
ship TO insist. even in the infancy OF
aerial navigation. that there must be
some similar registration TO that In
use as 10 vessels. Each aefoplane
must have a domicile or home port; its
