Boys Corn Club" and all of those
who wish to join. to meet in Sumter
Saturday a. M. Feb. the 18th. An
organization with President Vice
President. and Secretary, will be
perfected; and information and in
structions as to the methods to be
carried out in growing the corn, will
be given the boys. The instructions
will cover how to select and breed
the best seed. Let each boy, or
man that wishes. bring along thirty
or forty of his best selected seed
ears, and an expert from the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton, will select the best seed ear, and
explain wherein the corn fails to
conform to a true type. This Is a
proposition In which there is no
chance Of losing and every boy that
joins the club Is sure to win. If he
wins neither of the National
State, nor County prizes, of which
there are a number, amounting in
value to hundreds of dollars. he is
sure to gain some experience and in
formation that will be of inestimable
value all the rest Of his life. Some
of the business men of Sumter are
especially active in encouraging the
organization and creating interest in
the Boys Corn Club" and probab-
ly all will be when it is brought
among these are Mr.. r. 1. Man
ming and Mr.. Lee Scarborough, who
will guarantee substantial prize
fund. The Farmers Union has al
ready donated fifty dollars. There
will be at least a half dozen county
prizes offered and the boy who wins
first prize will get more than fifty
dollars in cash, besides the chances
at the State and National prizes
Then he may have the opportunity
of selling his corn for seed at a
fancy price. Bascom Usher, the
Marlboro boy. who won the National
prize from South Carolina, sold all
of his corn to the Government for
two dollars per bushel. 1 should like
very much to see every school in the
county we'll represented at the court
house Saturday, A. NJ, February 12.
1 believe the boys will take hold and
continue to keep Sumter county
among the leaders as she has al
ways been.

Winter Flowing.
BY TAFT Butler.

Soils are formed by the weather.
Ing of rocks. That is, the effect Of the
weather-air, moisture, frost, etc., up
on rocks is to break them up and
finally pulverize them and make them
into soil. The weathering Of the soil
further tends to break up and pulver-
ize the particles, and the smaller the
soil particles, the more plant
foods set free or made into condition
for the plants to use.
Winter plowing adds to the wealth
ing effects Of the winter freezes and
rains on soil. Is this desirable? It is
of itself, wholly SO; but there r1ay
follow results which are undesirable
These undesirable results should
always be kept in mind, but they are
not so serious nor SO difficult to over
come as to prevent the winter plowing
Of practically all ends not growing
winter crops.
Objections to Flowing in Winter.
In this Southern country probably
the most serious objection to winter
plowing is that it increases the tend
ency to wash off certain lands, those
In the valleys that overflow, in which
this overflow is accompanied by the
formation Of currents, and those hill
lands which lie in such manner as to
causes certain areas to receive large
quantities Of water from other areas
in addition to that which falls direct
ly upon them. In many cases, in
fact. in the most cases-ditching, ter.
racing and proper plowing will cor
rect these defects.
OF course, there is a greater prob
ability Of finding the lands too wet
for plowing in the winter than in the
fall; but while lands should never be
plOwed too wet, 1t remains a fact that
the winter plowing Of lands when too
wet does comp aritavely little harni
because of the freezes and rains
which follow and the absence Of a
hot sun to cause the baking Of the

Some Random Thoughts.

Articles on winter breaking and
plowing under green or cover crops
deserve careful reading. There Is
more winter breaking going on than
l ever saw before, and soil conditions
have been ideal for the best kind of
plowing. / wish some of our farm
ers would experiment with running a
spike tooth harrow over this broken
land every week until planting time.
Take one acre, and leave the harrow
on II and once a week. when the
ground Is dry. hitch up team and
thoroughly harrow the surface. An
Acme harrow would do just as we'll
or may be better. Keep this up un-
til time to bed and plant. or rather
lay off and plant level, and there
could be no question of getting a
stand and early development of the
young plants. Then keep account of
the crops grown and see If the har-
rowings paid. 1t is worth a trial

To the Boys Who Are Thinking of

Board Of Directors Of that Bank are

me to announce the offer of $50 for
the best bushel of seed corn produc-
ed by a member of the Boys Corn
Club. the award to be made on the
following points: perfection of
sample bushel submitted, the yield
per acre and the economy in cost of
production.
This prize Is offered to encourage
the development and growth of a
type Of corn especially adapted to
the soil Of this section. Those who
contest for the prize must be prepar-
ed to furnish a brief history of the
seed used and furnish an accurate
itemized statement Of the cost OF
growing the acre Of corn from which
the prize bushel is selected.
Knight Bros. today put down
their unconditional offer of $50 fol
a first prize to the boy in Sumter
county growing the most corn on
one acre In 1910. This makes SITS

II Union boy wins the first prize

other public spirited citizens will
unite in the effort to Increase the pro
