Florence, Dec. 2.-Florence again
leads the State in the matter OF the
production of corn on an acre by the
members of. the Boys Corn clubs OF
tho State. Again Jerry Moore is the
banner bearer Of the county and the
State, and Florence has the addition
al honor of having the second best as
we'll as the best yield. Miller Hudson,
Of Sardis, a ine agricultural commun-
il ynear Timmonsville, is the second IN
the list. The figures for their yield is
not given out yet, as all reports are
not made up, but there seems to be
no doubt of these facts; they are ad-
mitted by Prof. Haddon, who has the
matter of the corn clubs in hand.
The prize for this greatest yield in
the State is trip to Washington as
a guest of the farm demonstrators.
Jerry would be glad to go again, Dut
Jerrv is at school here in, Florence,

son Joins the happy bunch OF corn

It is understood that there is a boy
in North Carolina who has taken the
laurels entirely away from Jerry by
producing more corn by a great deal
than Jerry did. He is credited with
something over 130 bushels to Jerrys
l2S and pecks,
The trip to Washington is given this

The Deadly Railroad Crossing.

When somebody is killed between
Newberry and Prosperity the people
along the line will wake up. The
following account of the killing of Mr..
John Simms is from the Chester Lam
tern of the 1st instant:
"The train was running half an hour
late and was going at rapid rate of
speed when it approached Steels
crossing, where the accident occurred
The track is straight On either side
of the crossing and why Mr.. Simms
did not hear the approaching train
or the engineer see the vehicle in the
act of crossing the track is not known.
The road runs parilel with the track
and crosses at an angle and for this
reason the driver would have had his
back to the approaching train. How
ever, it would seem that he could have
have heard the crossing blow in case
the engineer save the signal required
by law upon approaching crossings.

ceive S25 per bale in cash, and there

In speaking of the cause for Mr..
Stavton's visit, Co.. Watson said that
Mr.. Stayton had come down here to
meet representative Southerners and
talk with them, answering all ques-
tions. When Mr.. Stayton arrived ne
prefe ed to have him meet President
Barrett first, and hence arranged the
conference in Augusta. He felt that
the proper steps to be taken is to al
ford Mr.. Stayton the opportunity to
meet the leading men in the several
States, and to make his proposition TO
them and to the people through the
press, leaving it to the people to &C
cept or reject the offer made, as they
see fit. The assurance is given that
the machinery for executing the plan
is ready, and he could see no reason
why State committees should not be
appointed as soon as possible. At the
conference most careful attention is
given to the development of an effec-
tive plan for the securing OF pledges
for the. reduction of acreage, suggest
ed by J. G. Anderson, of Rock alll'
who was present.

COLLEGE NOTES.

At Erskine college, Due West, S. c.
on Thanksgiving day, Newberry's
basket ball team succeeded in defeat
ing Erskine by score of % to 9. The
game was not as fast and snappy as
it might have been, but at times there
were some good exhibitions Of scien-
tific basketball playing and team work.
The inexperience of the erskine play
ers caused ther defeat. Doscher, lett
forward for Newberry, played fine
game throughout and threw II out
of the. % points for Newberry. Bell
played a consistent game for Ersklne.
After the game the Newberry boys
were rendered a Thanksgiving dinner
at the college boarding hall, which
was very much enjoyed.
The College Minstrel will soon oe
presented to the people Of NeWberry'
For the past week Mr.. J. R. Bass, OF
Columbia, has been training the men,
and will continue with them until the
performance has been given. On the
night of the 18th Of December it is
hoped that the opera house will be tllA-
ed to the utmost and that the Athletic
association will get a nice sum to help
out the baseball team next season.
The second number Of the college
lyceum course will be given in Hol-
land Hall Friday evening at S.lo p. m
This will be the Philadelphia Opera
and Concert company, which comes

THE DYING FINE-CAUSE,
EXTENT AND REMEDY. V.
Requirements for Success in Protect
ing the Living Pine From the
Southern Pine Beetle.

The requirements for success in any
effort to protect the living pine from
the destructive attack of the Southern
pine beetle is the destruction of the
broods of the Southern pine beetle in
the bark of the main trunks of the dy-
ing infested trees before they leave
the bark. This is accomplished by the
adoption of one or more different
methods of direct utilization Of the in
tested trunks or treatment at direct
expense in cases where the wood can
not be utilized. as specified in Part
of this series of articles and in special
circular 4 sent out from the field sta
ton of the bureau of entomology at
Spartanburg, S. c.
The attainment of the best success
from the practical application of any
of these methods will depend on their
adaptation to local conditions and re-
quirements for disposing of the in
tested timber and strict adherence to
certain details which are absolutely
necessary to the destruction of the
broods.
The period in which to locate and
mark the trees that are actually in
tested and in which the marked trees
should be utilized or treated to kill
the broods is between the 1st of No.
vember and the 1st of the following
March but in some cases the period
may be extended to the 1st of May.
The adoption of the method of de-
stroying the broods which in each
case is the most economical and effec-
tual can be determined by the owners
in each community if they are suf-
ficiently informed on the essential
facts.
Detailed. advice, recommendations
or conclusions as to the most econo-
nical and effective method of proce-
dure for any given area should be de-
ferred until certain reliable informa-
ton is at hand in regard to the local
condition as to, (a) the character and
extent of the infestation, (b) the in
terest manifested by the people of the
community in the value to them OF the
pine and the Importance of protecting
it as the source of future revenue, (c)
the assurance of the majority of the
owners that concerted action viii be
taken according 20 dafnite rlaA and
purpose and finally, i demonstration
is desired that locli faciiiries viii be
offered for it's successful prosecution.
If the owners of pine will consider
the protection of their timber from
the standpoint of common interest
and will realize the necessity for con-
certed action in the control work, sue
cess will be assured.
