YORK COUNTY HAS
INCREASED YIELD
WHAT DEMONSTRATION WORK
AND CORN CLUBS HAVE DONE
FOR THIS COUNTY.
MUCH INTEREST is SHOWN
Corn Club Boys Are Showing How to
Make Corn Crops at Low cost.-Tlek
Eradication Work 10 to Be Pushed
Forward.

Sharon.-On the many acres which
are being cultivated in York county
along the lines of United States de-
monstration plan, the increase Of yield
In corn will be several thousand BUSH
els. When 1t Is considered further that
this corn has been produced at cost
of about 80 cents a hushel, with q
saving Of so cents a bushel on what
It would cost next year il imported
from the West. 1t can readily be seen
what the demonstration work and the
boys corn clubs have done for this
county.
1t means, too, that there are at
least a hundred boys In this county
who will never again be content to
pursue the old slip-shop Improbable
methods that yielded an average crop
of less than Is bushels to the acre. A
successful and observant business
man said recently that success in
these plans carried with 1t the as
surance that the cause Of good roads,
good schools and good churches, and
that all other community interests
will be invested with new life.
The membership Of the boys corn
clubs in this community is. very much
encouraged over the prospect this
year for a fine yield and 1t Is be-
lieved that Sharon and vicinity will
again carry of, the best prizes that
have offered in this county.
Perhaps nowhere else in South
Carolina has greater interest been
taken IN the question Of eradicat-
ion,, now such a vital one throughout
this section, as that manifested in
this part of York county. DR.. P. E.
Quinn, district superintendent OF the
work, Is stationed at Sharon and he
has had the aid and cooperation OF
the farmers and cattle growers in
this section to such an extent that he
has been able to release the quaran-
tine on a part Of his territory, but
he has in force a strict and stringent
tick Law in regard to bringing in and
shipping stock out Of the county.
