Why not $50, 600 bushels more corn
in Edgefeld county in 1910 than a nor

The need exists for larger corn pro-

termination on the part of the farmers
to make it.

A proposition for division of the

likely to become one Of the strong
suggestions for a solution of the ques'

1t will be urged that the northern
half of the state can better support

sity, located where they desire, and
division of the scope of work of TIL
