are going to be made to train for
farm life, and we are going to have
thousands Of boys in the agricultural
colleges where there are now only
scores. The men who work on the
farms are going to have a new spirit;
and instead Of finding their daily
work mere drudgery, education will
give such new meaning to their tasks
and such zest to their life that ev-
cry one will go about his daily work
with an eager and joyous spirit
such as the factory employe or the
city laborer can never know. I'M
proved machinery, too, will tighten
the work on the farm and more horse
power will double a mans earning
capacity so that greater profits will
go hand in hand with greater inter-
est in the work itself.-Progressivc

apart, does not always give good re-
suits. Then often times, men who
have bred up good variety of seed
and have established reputation,
grow careless about keeping the seed
bred up to the standard, and sell in
feriOr seed on their reputation. The
farmers who buys such seed finds
that he has been swindled out of
portion of his years income A good
rule is to never buy seed corn except
In the ear. You can tell when you
see corn on the ear, whether or not
you would like to produce such corn,
but you can't tell anything about
shelled corn.
Sumter County has some as good
farming land as there is in the State
and why should not her boys contest
every inch Of ground for every prize
offered, large or small? If they do
not, the fault will be with the teach
ers and officials. who should arouse
these boys to take advantage Of their
opportunities. I hope to see in the
near future day set for the organ
ization of the Sumter County BOYS
Corn Club"

Improved Seed.

The farmers are backward in i'm
proving farm seeds. They are begin
ninging to improve corn Cotton,
wheat and oats are neglected 1t is
time they are beginning to move for
better seed which means larger
yields.
B. F. Holley, Dan Crosland and n.
E. Holley have formed a farm seed
concern, near Aiken. s. c., and will
raise seed for wholesale distribution
This year the Toole improved cotton
seed will be raised for sale, exclusive
ly. on a large plan, and next year
wide variety of farm seed will be
raised. They will use their own
farms. which are among the finest
thereabouts. Last year the three had
500 acres, from which they picked
more than 600 bales. the variety Of
cotton seed planted being the same
that they now offer for sale.
What they are doing in Aiken can
be done as we'll in this county. One
farmer or a half dozen could estab-
lish a seed farm for the improvement
of corn or cotton. When the variety
Is agreed on each one could plant
that and then when ginned on a pri-
vate gin there would be no chance Of
mixing. A careful man could go
through an acre lot and select two
or three dozen stalks that were su-
perior In shape, limbs. fruit and pro-
duction. From those best stalks he
might pick ten to twenty pounds
from the best bolls and thus get
enough to plant an acre the next
year. In this way the variety could
be improved and kept up to a high
standard.
In the same way corn. wheat and
oats could be improved by the in
dividual farmer. or by combina-
ton Of several who would agree on
some special variety.

Boys Corn Clubs.

How many boys in Sumter County
are going to Join the Corn Club p"
Some valuable prizes have already
been vouched for. beside the chance
of receiving a diploma from the Gov
ernor or from the President of the
United States. Think Of 1t, four
boys from the South were given each
trip to Washington, entertained by
the Department of Agriculture and
were given a national diploma for the
greatest yield of corn per acre among
the boys Of the County Clubs In the,!
respective States. The boy that wins
In his own county receives a diploma
from the Governor and honor and
distinction In many other ways. The
Greenville County Corn Club was or
ganized month or two ago and yo,,
never saw so much interest i'm select
Ing and procuring the best seed. At
the meeting which DR.. Knapp ad-
dressed In Greenville. the boys and
farmers were requested To bring forty
or fifty of their best selected ears for
seed and the experts from the de-
partment re-selected some of the best
ears and lectured upon the advsa-
bility Of seed selection i'm the yield
These contestants were very anxious
To procure the best seed and were
willing To pay almost any price to
get II. 1t is the general opinion of
experts that the best seed for any To-
cality can only be procured by breed
ing up from good variety in that
locality. The type should be selected
and everything eliminated that does
not conform to that type. Changing
seed from one kind of soil to an
other and from one climate to another

Some time ago we urged you farm
ers to take up the matter Of raising

been done. 1t is worth 5000 a ton,
used to be $40 a ton. There is a

recently. The plant consists of a dry

Secretary Ballinger seems to have
becn doing something In the nepot-
Ism line himself.
II would be interesting to know
whether Col. Simpsons sons-in-law
were elected professors at Clemson
before or after marriage. Were they
given Jobs because they were sons
in-law OF IAfe Trustee Simpson, or
did they become sons-in-law because
they were Clemson professors?
IL II Is absolutely necessary that
the Secretary to the President Of
Clemson have a permanent Job, why
not make her President and thus put
an end to the periodic annoyance of
having to hunt up new President?

portunities and do not fail to make
the most OF them.

Do We Wish Lower Prices for Farm
Products?

Some of our exchanges contain
numerous references to the so-called
meat and other trusts and to f.
nanced combinations of farm pro-
ducts. Throughout all is tone of
regret at the high prices of meal,
-four, corn, etc. This view of the
high prices of farm prices is in SYM
pathy with the consumers, and we
infer that in the opinion of the
editors these high prices for farm
products are great calamity. To
one knowing that 80 to 90 per cent.
of our people are farmers and that
the farmer is the only producer of
meat, flour, corn ETC., this bewail-
ing of the high prices of these pro-
ducts appears peculiar at least, if
not ridiculous
Truly, is it not remarkable that
the farmer should complain of the
high prices of the products which he
grows? While nearly one-half our
land is planted in corn, we complain
OF the high price Of corn; we pro-
duce some meat and could produce
more at one-third the price t IS
selling for, but still we complain of
the price of pork. We have even
heard farmers bewailing most bitter
ly the high price of cowpea seed
The cowpea is particularly a South
ern crop, is one of our great soil -im
provers and hay crops, and still our
farmers are heard to complain Of
the high prices Of cowpeas.
1t is a fact. however, that while
| nearly all farm products are now
bringing top prices we are injured
instead Of benefited thereby; be-
cause although farmers, we are buy
ers, not sellers. Of all the farm pro-
ducts except cotton.
Whele the farmers of other sec
tions are rejoicing at and growing
rich on the high prices Of meat and
other farm products, We are COM
planning and blaming the trusts and
every other imaginable person ex-
cept the right one-ourselves. The
absurdity Of tn farmer complaining
Of the high price Of farm producrs
must be apparent to any one. II
meat, corn and -four are too high,
why don't we produce them? Farm
ing Is our business, and If we cannot
produce these farm products for
less than the present selling prices,
then those prices are not too high.
With all farm products bringing
maximum prices. this ought to be a
season OF rejoicing instead of
mourning , and It will be when we
realize the ridiculous position we
are putting ourselves in by not grow
Ing these crops to sell which are SO
high as to call forth our special at
tention. If these prices are. too high,
why stop at growing merely enough
for our own use. Why not grow
some to sell and reap the benfits Of
the unusually high prices? If we
will not avail ourselves of this rare
opportunity, let us at least cease
making ourselves ridiculous by the
spectacle of farmers complaints Of
the high prices Of farm products

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Charges that
Benz. Thomas, former president of
Chicago e. Western Indiana railroad.
Charles r. Kappes, former real es-
tate dealer for the road, and John G.
Fetzer obtained at least sS5O.Oo0
from the railroad through a real es-
tate conspiracy are made in a bill
for an accounting filed in the circuit
court today. The bill was filed hy
the Chicago & Western Indiana Rail-
road Company
According to the bill, the real es-
tate transactions in question occur
red in 1906 and involved the expen-
diture of $2,521,S99. The defendants
are alleged to have divided the $780,
900 profits
When the railroad wished to ac-
quire property, the bill says, Thomas
would refer the matter to Kappes.
Fetzer, who was in the real estate
business, would be directed to make
be turned over to him. Fetzer would
make the purchase and report the
amount paid
1t is charged in the bill that in the
report to the railroad company, Fet-
zer would state a greater amount
than he had paid. Then, it is alleg-
ed, he would divide the difference be-
tween the price reported to the rail-
road and the real price with Thomas
and Kappes. The bill is sworn to by,
F. B. Prior, president of the railroad.
In 1908 Thomas and Kappes re-
signed their positions with the rail-
road, and it is alleged they destroyed
or removed from the offices guam
titles Of papers, books and documents
relating to the transactions with Fetl
zer.

Public hygeine, that branch Of SAN
itary science which protects the many
against the errors and interference of
the few is being taught in Sumter
