ARRIVES ON THE GROUND.
Jerry Moore n Modest Hero.--Deleea-
ton Enthusiastic as to Outcome OF
the Campaign.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 2.-More
than 25 enthusiastic residents Of
South Carolina arrived this evening
to pull for next years National Corn
exposition. They found on the
grounds formidable foe in the per-
son Of Gov. A. o. Eberhart, the young
and vigorous executive of Minnesota.
who, with a delegation is seeking to
land not only next years exposition
but the succeeding one. Gov. Eber-
hart came yesterday and had expect
ed to return to Minnesota today. To-
night, however, he announced he
would remain day longer. No reason
was given for his change in plans,
but it is hinted that the appearance
OF the Southerners and their evident
determination to secure the exposi-
ton convinced him it would be well
for him to remain on the job here
Minnesota's great agricultural in
terest. the tremendous success which
yearly attends its State fair, when
the attendance averages 10000
day, and also it's prominence in the
movement for the conservation Of re-
sources are being exploited in con.
nection with it's efforts to induce the
corn show officials to take the exposi-
ton to Minneapolis.
Jerry Moore Of Winona, who raised
22S Ia bushels Of corn on a single
acre Of ground, was made a hero i'm
medlately upon his arrival here with
his home State delegation. Mr.. Moore
bore himself with modesty. He de-
clared he was going after the prize
again next year.
The advantages Of Columbia as a
site for the exposition will be pictured
graphically to the corn show officials.
The delegation which arrived tonight
refused to show it's hand or indicate
what inducements it would offer.
The members Of the delegation, how
over, said they felt confident of the
outcome.
They will stay in their special car
while here.

MUSTARD USED FOR HENS.
New Aid I'm Laying Eggs Proves a
Success i'm Great Britain.
(The New York Times.)

NOW tndt eggs are SOLO NJ thrc q
shilIings the dozen in London, any
thing that viii induce hens to lay
more than is their won, in winter
should be welcomed by poultry keep
ers.
A most important experiment has
been made, with results that should
he highly satisfactory to all interest
ed in gg-production-an experiment
which proves that mustard, Judi
ciously given. has a wonderful effect
in inducing the hens to lay.
The use Of spices and drugs to in
duce egg production is usually PERM
cious, bat 1t has been proved that
mustard is free from any objection
as an aid in winter production.
The experiment was carried out by
Ralph Allen, vice president Of the
Poultry Club. and editor Of Monthly
Hints on Poultry. His report is pub
lished as a pamphlet.
The experiment was made on a
mountain farm in Wales, exposed to
every wind, and was carried on for
one year. Buff Orpngton pullets
were experimental on, birds that
had never laid. and were as near
alike as possible.
Food was served plain to six birds
in one pen, and with the addition of
one teaspoonful Of mustard to six in
another pen.
The experiment began on October
l, 1909. At the end Of six months
| the birds fed with ordinary food had
laid 369 eggs, valued at As shillings
| 10 pence, whereas the birds fed with
the mustard addition to their food
laid 532 eggs, valued at II shillings
pence.
| At the end of the year the birds
fed on the ordinary food had laid
| 914 eggs, value at 81 shillings G
pence, as against 1928 eggs, valued
at las shllngs 2 pence, laid by the
mustard fed birds.
The cost Of mustard worked out at
Z 1-2 pence per bird for the year: the

VETERANS TO GET SPENDING
MONEY.
| Bill Now Before House Provides
Money for Tobacco and Other Ne

ccSSiticS.
Columbia, Feb. 4.--The Confeder-
ate veterans who are inmates Of the
Soldiers home will not be deprived
of pin money if the senate accepts
the bill passed by the house allowing
these old soldiers two dollars a month
for spending money. A hard fight
was made in the house to cut out this
item in the appropriations bill, but
it finally got through. The senate
will most likely pass the bill as en-
dorsed by tn: house. There are many
things the GA veterans need in ad-
dition to the comforts afforded by the
home. Small change for tobacco, car
fare and other things, is almost nee
essary and to deprive veterans Of these
luXuries would be innicting a real
hardship on them.
