each boy has taken the work prescrib-
ed. On the last night Of the school,
the city of Columbia will give ban
suet to all the boys attending, where
the POSTMASTER will be the boy holding
the best record in the entire South.
Here they will have an opportunity to
meet boys fro mall the Southern States
and many of the northern as we'll.
They will study the exhibits of all the
s,a,es represented, thus getting direct
information as to the products of
States. The problems being worked
out by different experiment stations
will be studied and the Importance OF
each problem stressed. These are only
a very few of the things the boys will
get from this school. The insplra-
ton given the boys here will be worth
fully as much as years work in the
ordinary school.
The school will be conducted along
semi-military lines, members OF the
senior class of Clemson college acting
as officers. The school will be under
the direct charge Of Mr.. J. B. Hobby,
an experienced man from Alabama. A
regular schedule will be made out and
every hoy exDected to follow same.
Details of this cchedule will be pub
lished later
Many of the counties in South Car
olina have already arranged for the
two prize winning boys to attend this
school. Those having notified this Of
fee are as follows: Abbeville, Aiken,
Anderson, Barnwell, Cherokee, Ches-
ter, Chesterfield, Clarendon, Darling
ton, Edgefeld, Fairfield, Florence,
Greenville, Hampton, Horny, Laurens'
Lee, Marlboro, Orangeburg, Oconee,
Richland, Sumter, Union and Williams
burg. Other counties may have ar
ranged for the Hys but have not re-
ported to this Office.
In making the arrangements all that
is necessary will be to obtain funds
for transportation both ways from the
county seat to Columbia and fund
of one dollar per day while the boys
are in Columbia. The boys will be re-
quired to bring blankets, toWelT etc.
Rates from each county seat may be
obtained by applying to Geo. H. Steph-
enson, Gen. Mgr. aPlmetto Bank Build
ing, Columbia, S. C. AS soon as ar
rangements are made the special agent
in charge of boys corn clubs, Clemson
College, S. c., should be notified. Any
further information regarding this
schools may be had by writing the
above agents.

National Corn Exposition School fo1

A great deal has been said and writ
ten regarding the National Corn EX-
position School for Boys to be held
in connection with the National Corn
Exposition, Columbia, S. c., Jan. 2S-
February Sth, 1912, but there are prob
ably many people who are not famliiaf
with the details.
The first question to consider is what
is this school to be? 1t is to be
source of information and inspiration
and at the same time an outing for the
prize winning boys of the Boys Corn
club of the entire South. An effort is
being made to have every county in
each Southern State send the two boys

be properly cared for and we'll super

A pleasure trip to Charleston and a

Fifth National Corn Show.
C. B. Hadden,
Special Agent,

Columbia, December 5.-"An Invita-
ton to American Farmers" is the title
of a handsomely illustrated folder just
issued by the Southern railway, calling
attention to the Fifth National Corn
Exposition to be held at Columbia,
January 27-February 8, 1913. A large
number of these folders will be circu-
lated among Northern and Western
farmers and they will also be placed
in the hands Of farmers throughout
the South.
The folder not only sets out the at
fractions of the National Corn Exposi-
tion but gives interesting facts con-
cerning the agricultural possibilities
of the South which should appeal es-
pecially to farmers in other sections
of the United States.
In getting out this folderthe South
ern railway is aiming to cooperate for
the success of the National Corn Ex-
position at Columbia and at the same
time to call attention to the South as
a corn country in the hope Of attract
ing desirable farm settlers to this sec
ton.

perly taken care Of and stored away.
when not in use. The sure way for
the farmer to avoid using land and
labor in plating. seed of reduced
productiveness is by selecting seed
early and caring for it. A small house
could be built on each farm so that
all seed for spring planting could be
kept therein Such house should be
and ventilated and so constructed
as to be inaccessible to rats and mice.
This could be done by inverting a COM
mon galvanized pan over the pillars.
Then beginning about 2, or feet from
upward from the floor These shelves
are made preferably of Stats instead
Of solid planks so as to allow of "suf
icient ventilation between the ears.
About 6 inches from this tier another
tier of Slated shelves is built and so
on in pairs across the room. Two or
three feet is left between each pair
Of tiers to permit man with basket
to pass through, placing the ears on
the shelves. The husked ears are
placed on these shelves after selection
in early fall, and: will soon dry out,
thus lessoning all danger of freezing
and thereby loss of vitality of seed in
spring.
A cheaper initial cost can be had by
stringing heavy wire L 1-2 feet apart
across from one side of the building
or in dry, well ventilated house on the
farm and hanging the corn up to these
wires by means Of double string. The
ears are laid in the two strings of ears
which are then crossed, another ear
put on, and SO on until the string
is just about two feet from the floor
| when tied to the overhead wire. This
method permits of perfect ventilation
between the ears but the weight Of the
undried corn sometimes breaks the
wire or pulls it out from its fastenings.
| Another method in common use is:to
use the upright wires Of an old cleo
trically welded wire fence. The diago-
nal wires are cut off short enough to
reach about 1-2 the length of ear, and
the ears of corn are stuck On these dia--
gonal wires, tips. upward. Usually
these wires are bent upward at a.
slight angle to give frmer support for
the ear. These wires should be hung
on supporting wire as in case of the
strings. When the building in which
they are stored is proof against ro-
dents, these wires can be hung on
nails from the cross pieces.
Any one of these methods insures
the farmer against moldy, diseased
corn and against seed Of low vitality
caused by alternate freezing and
heating.

Care of Seed Corn.

# has come to the notice of the sta.
tion that from time to time IN the

and the usual advice given for meet

NOT become yearly habit; but, the
termination test is very discouraglng
unless the seed corn is gathered and

FOOling the Hens.

Owners of hens are frequently
greatly annoyed by the persistent de-
sire of their fowls to set, in season
and out, on eggs, stones or other OBJ
iects to hand, but western man has
evolved a plan to circumvent the hen
in this respect, says the New York
Press.
The cure consist of a cheap watch,
with a loud and clear tick, Enclosed in
a case that is white and shaped like
an egg. When one of the hens belong
ing to this westerner manifests de-
sire to set out of season he gently
places the bogus egg under her shell
tering breast. The "egg" ticks cheer
fully away, and soon the hen begins
to evince signs of uneasiness and stlrs
the noisy egg around with her DILL
thinking no doubt that it is already
time for it to hatch. She becomes
more and more uneasy as the noise
continues, and soon jumps off the nest
and runs about a while to cool on.
Soon, however, she returns to her self
imposed t,sk. Matters get worse and
worse; she wiggles about and cackles'
'ruffles her feathers and generally
shows distress. Finally, with a wild
'squawk, she abandons the nest for
good and all, and the incubating fever
is broken completely.
The westerner has found use for
half a dozen of these noisy eggs, and
he claims that they pay for them
selves again and again during the year
by holding hens to their business OF
laying and preventing them from
wasting the golden hours in useless
'incubating.

BRUSH WILL NOT DISGORGE.

the resolution passed by the National
League last winter, compelling the club

yesterday during the session at the Wal

President John T. Brush of the New

the resolution was illegal in that the

quested the appointment of an arbitration
committee to which the resolution will be
referred. b. j. York Of Brooklyn will
represent the league on this committee
and Cornelius Sullivan will act for the
New York club. 1t is possible that Gov
Tener of Pennsylvania will be the third
member.
The resolution was introduced last win
ter by Barney Dreyfuss Of the Pittsburgh
club and was passed by a majority vote
When Mr.. Brush's message was received
there was some show Of i'll feeling by sew
eral of the magnates and the report soon
became prevalent that unless Mr.. Brush
backed down serious opposition to the
reelection of President Lynch might re-

Brooklanders Figure They Will Make
Creditabe Showing, Though, Against
Pennsylvania Eleven.

Yesterday the Catholic University s
foot ball squad went through it's final
scrimmage before the NilianoVa game.
which is To take place tomorrow at $50
on University Field. The team during
the past week has shown great improve
ment and has been working hard to
make good showing this week.
The entire practice in the afternoons
has been devoted to scrimmaging and
the perfecting of the interference. At
night in the gymna SUM the men have
had an hours signal practice, and have
shown great benefits from it. In the
scrimmaging the varsity has been show
this year, and Coach McDevitt is hope
ful. The team has been given several
new plays and formations. which it is to
use during the game. and it is banking
on these plays to give Villanova sur
prise party. This week the line has shown
up to an advantage and it Is hoped that
its speed will overcome the weight of
the heavy line of the Villanova eleven. 1t
is expected that VillanOva will try plays
through the line for gains, while Catholic
University is likely to depend on the open
style of play.
Butler, who has been shifted to left
halfback, has shown up wonderfully well
during the past week and is sure to start
Saturday in that position. Mcdonald
will be his running mate as right malt
back and is expected to be great
ground gamer in the game AT fullback
will be Capt. Blewett. wha has been
shifted from halfback.
Just who is to start at quarterback is
unknown, but it is expected that Clancy

injury to his shoulder during the Villa
nova-Swarthmore game, would not be
able to play, but the injured member
has healed and he will start at right
tackle. Flanagan is the best defensive
man on the team and had he been un-
able to play Villanova's chances would
have received great setback.
With FOrSt, PenroSe and PrenderSaSt in
the back field VillanOva has three fast
and shifty men to progress with the pig

as it is the only opportunity the public
will have in Washington to see two
Catholic colleges of such standing pitted
against each other, and the result will
