-. Columbia, May 10: There will be
many priZes-aggregating probably
$500 or more-to be given by the
South Atlantic States Corn exposition,
which is to be held in Columbia dur
ing the coming month of December.
These prizes will consist Of money,
farming machinery, trophy cups and
certificates. The exposition is to be
the climax of corn production in the
south. Never before has there been so
corn. and in the fall. when the cXposi-
ton is to be held, the labOrS of the
farmers will be brought together and
the exposition will be u fine index for
the progress that has been made. Not
only is there interest in corn growing
in South Carolina. but in every state
of the south, Georgia, North Carolina
and Florida have been asked TO paru-
cipate i'm the exposition. These states
are strictly South Atlantic. As is
known, corn is a tropical or subtropi-
cal plant, and thriveS best in warm
climate The farmers of South Caro-
lima have just commenced to realize
the possibilities of corn production in
hnShpl
crease in production last year set them
to thinking, and the slogan has been
made 50,000,00O bushels Of corn fOf
South Carolina in 1910" For years
men interested in agriculture have
been clamoring for removal of the
corn cribs from the west. This has be-
come almost proverbial. The farmers
with intelligent methods and Sulu-
anCe have already moved hundreds Oh
cribs hundreds OF miles. South Caro-
lima sends about $6,OOO.OOO away TO
the west every year for corn, ana IL
the 50.0OO,O0O bushels are produced
this wear it will mean that the state
will send much corn away ana none
will be brought in. The South Allan
tic Corn exposition has been organized
with the principal view of encouraS-
ing the farmers to produce their own
corn, which means that they VIII theh
be able to raise their own live STOCK.
Every farmer in the south Is invited
to participate in the exposition.
