Corn Growing in the South.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record
The records in corn-growing that have
been made in the Southern States in the
past few years directing attention to the
vast possibilities of the South in corn
growing should emphasize the Importance
to the South of the Fifth National Corn
Exposition, which will open at Columbia,
S. c., on January 9th. In 1889 in world
contest in corn growing Capt. Zachariah ].
Drake of Marlboro County, South Carolina,
won the first prize, with record of 255
bushels of shelled corn, or $50 bushels of
crib cured corn, on one acre of land. The
corn exposition will revive interest in that
South Carolina record, and will give an
impetus to improve methods of agriculture
all over the South. 1t will also bring from
all parts of the country expert agricultur-
alists, with their minds open to new con-
ditions and opportunities, and it can be
made an effective agency in developing
the agricultural interests of that section.

$4,000 for 1912 Pecans.

Rich Hill (Mo) Review
Now that the pecan season is practically
over in this section of the country, it might
be interesting to note that the HIGH Hill
buyers alone paid out a little over $50, 900
for pecans during the past two months.
These nuts were all delivered to the local
dealers and then shipped out to the city
markets. The above figures are absolutely
correct, as they we're taken from the deal
ere returned checks. The highest price
paid was 1871 cents per pound and the
lowest cents per pound. Besides the
above, there were probably 5000 worth
shipped out by individuals, and hundreds
of pounds, no doubt held over for future
shipments.

As he toppled one man after another al obscure clubs he gradually attracted attention. Sever al enterprising managers, after look ing him over. made oveTtures, but they learned that Kearns was under contract to a man who had gone out of his way to secure matches for him.
 That terrific punching. therefore, that put COney away has served to increase the prestige Of Kearns, who is anxious to meet any of the white hopes. So far none Of his opponents has been able to test his gameness but he doesn't look like a man with a faint heart. On the contrary Kearn has the courage of Tom Sharkey, and the aggressiveness of Sullivan, with the physical strength of Sandow. He may not possess the boxing skill of a champion but there seems to be no room for doubt that he is natural born fighter. Kearns when pitted against Morris, Palzer, or Jim Flynn, may prove a counterfeit, but just now there are many competent boxing judges that believe he has a brilliant future.

drawn is in a position to play the winner for the right to meet Australia in the challenge round. At the pres, ent time it is not certain that a team will be sent by this country but fail ure to challenge would have barred America during tne present yeaar.
 In all probability a good strong team will be sent. Most of the players in the first ten of America are compara- lively young men, and some of them have made startingly rapid progress during the past two seasons and are liable to go much further The gen elal ass of the best players is at least as good as al any previous time in the history of the game. To aban- don the quest of the cup on account of a few defeats would be a comics sion os weakness. such as this country is not likely to make.
 The challenge match in 1912 will be played in Melbourne, Australia, probably during the latter part of November. The preliminary match es will he arranged by England, Am erica ard France, providing they can agree upon q meeting place. If not, Australia may select the place.
 England CT France has the best right to the preliminary matches, as America has secured them three years in succession, namely in 1908. 1909 and 1911. In 1910 England secured the right to hold the preliminaries but the Australians refused to guaran- tee the expenses of the English team, which was rather weak. In conse- ouence England agreed to play in the United States, but the Americans fail cd to secure a team of sufficient cali Der and delaulted.
 This year America may secure the preliminary matches because interna- tional tennis is very popular in this country and draws better gate money than can be secured abroad. The size Of the gate enters into the question because the expenses of the dif1er- ent teams are very heavy and must be met from this source. The French

For six months Kearns has been attracting at tention at the smaller boxing clubs here by stopping every antagonist as easily as he did Coffey. The right hand punch which has won more than a dozen battles for Kearns is a duph- cate of the great punch that made Sullivan famous as the conquerOr Of Paddy Ryan, Jake Kilrain and other great fighters more than twenty years ago.

The discussion of the failure Of the American lawn tennis team to lift the Davis cup for tLe competition of 1911 had hardly closed before ar engagements for the competition ot 1912 were under way, and consider able progress has been made in the preparations. In the gloom caused by the meagre cable adyices Of the failure of Larned McLoughlin and Wright, it was announced that this country would probably make no at tempt this year to recapture the cup but on receipt of the full detailed aC- count of the match and the comments of the Australian press, it was seen that a very good reason for the defeat existed in the exceptionally bad weather which prevented our men from getting into really good condi- ton for the fray.
 Further encouragement was afford ed by the details of the grand stand made by the youthful San Franciscian Maurice Mclaughlin, against the vet eran Brookes, and the fact that the spectators at those matches were i'm pressed with the idea that McLough- lin's present form is only promise Of the class he may attain with great CT experience The tennis fraterni- ties immediately began to adopt a more hopeful attitude and are now again quite convinced that We have after all, some real tennis players in America.
 Under the rules which govern these contests it is necessary to challenge for the cup before the first Monday in March. Accordingly on the 24 tn of February the president of the United States Lawn Tennis association ca bled to the Australian association Q formal challenge. On March 3th the Australians. who as champions, re- ceiye the challenges from the dlner- ept nations who wish to compete cabled in reply that entries had been received from England, France anu America. and had made the draw with the following results: England plays France and America having been
