The South and The Real Corn
Belt.

If moisture and sunshine and a
long growing season are favorable
to large yields of corn, as everyone
knows they are, then the south
should and will be the Corn Belt"
of the future. 1t is true that in ad-
dition to these climatic or natural
advantages good farming ard soil
we'll supplied with organic matter
are also essential. The good farming
is rapidly coming and the rich soil
is only question of good farming
in any section where 3 money or
general field crop and restorative
lesume crop can be grown the sans
year. A crop of oats may be follow
ed the same season with cowpeas,
soy beans, peanuts or lespedenza, or
a corn crop can be preceded by a
crop of crimson clover, bur clover
or vetch, and then another crop Of
Iegumes-cowpeas--growing in the
corn.
With these conditions. good farm
inc means that the south will be in
the Corn Belt at ali times. The
boys of the Corn Clubs have shown
the possibilities. When the possibili-
ties are shown to be above $50
bushels per acre, who can be found
bold enough to state that the south
does not offer opportunities for corn
growing not equaled anywhere in
the so-called Corn Belt.-Prosres-
sive Farmer.

We noticed in all exchange the
other day statement to the effect
that the merchant who advertises,
and the farmer who looks for bar
gains, will be the PERSONS to profit
mostly by the parcels post. This is
just about the size of 1t, too. The
enterprislng, wlde-awake merchant
in the mall city, or even the coun-
try town, need not lose trade to the
big mail order establishments. If he
swiif-onfy let E,s Gus Sonlers sil, ";
that he can supply their wants as
quickly and as cheaply as anyone,
and that he too is willing to do
mail orGer business, he will profit
by the parcels post as much az any
one, not even excepting the farmer.

The Tent Nee ting.

No minister or evangelist who
has labored in Edgefeld has been
more earnest or more faithful than
has Rev. Pierce Kinard during the
past ten days. Early in the meeting
the attendance was small but he
never became discouraged. Within
the past few days the. attendance
has steadily increased and the inter-
est has likewise increased. His SER
mons twice a day, in the forenoon
at 1890 and evening at 1880, are
plain. earnest, effective presentations
of gospel truth. Instead of creating
interest and attracting by sensation
al preaching, as is the method of
some evangelists, Mr.. Kinard draws
them to him by his earnestness, sim
cerity and great love for humanity.
In his efforts to contribute to the
spiritual uplifting and betterment
Of the people of Edgefeld Mr.. XII
nard has the full sympathy and CO.
operation of all of the local minis
ters but the laity of the churches
are not falling in line as they
should. However, the interest is
daily increasing and it is to be
hoped that all of the Christian peo-
pie will realize before it is too late
that the opportunity is at hand for
genuine aud widespread revival in
Edgefeld. The public is cordially
invited to all of the services. This
invitation includes the colored peo-
pie, as section of the tent has been
set apart for them.
