THE SOUTH SETS THE PACE.
Kansas and Massachusetts Invited to
Take Notice.

Will Kansas please take notice? They
are going to hold Corn Exposition"
this year December 5-S)-not in Iowa,
or Nebraska, or Illinois, or Kansas, but
in Columbia, S. c. And one South Car
olina farmer will enter the competi-
ton with a record of more than two
hundred bushels to the acre.. Can
Kansas beat that? How many people
know that the worlds corn record-254
bushels and 40 pounds raised on sin
Marlboro county, South Carolina? In
this matter of corn, as well as in many
other respects, the south Is just coming
into its own and Is taking just pride
in its achievements. Every. boy In
South Carolina who raised seventy five
bushels of corn to the acre this year
will receive a certificate of merit sign
ed by the governor and the state su-
beat that spirit. It's a wholesome
change from keeping all the prizes
solely for proficiency in rhetoric and
other purely academic subjects. The
dominant note of the new south is rec
ognition of the dignity Of practical
usefulness and the inspiring spectacle
of the south's best names-men who,
generation ago, would have scorned
any other profession than law and any
other accomplishment than oratory-
now on the faculty lists in trade and
technical schools, a Toombs teaching
boys how to handle a blacksmith's

ably most of Kansas also and many
other sections Of the middle west have
lost since 1900. Why pay hundred
dollars an acre in Iowa when land that
will raise just as much corn can be
bought in South Caroina for twenty an
