Mr.. Blair reported to the committee
that there were three boys In the Cio-
yer storm district who had fine pros
poets for crops, but whose crops were
destroyed by the hailstorm Of August
8. The committee was Of opinion that
these boys should be duly recognized,
and as there was no money available,
recommended the taking up Of q col
lection, with the understanding that
the members of the committee supple
ment the same with sufficient from
their own private pockets to give the
boys IS each. The names Of the boys
are Edgar Faris, James Pursley, STAN
ford Allen. The necessary amount was
raised principally by the committee.
The committee further recommended
that each Of the other boys be awarded
so cents cash In recognition Of their
efforts. The names of these boys, with
the yields Of each, are as follows:
Parks Meeks, 67a bushels.
Ralph Cain, 81 bushels.
VIM. Moore, 65 1916 bushels.
Hugh Kaylor, $50 bushels.
Paul Anderson, 63S bushels.
John Horton, 63 1-6 bushels.
Fare Land. So bushels.
Lewis Good, 81 bushels.
Marcus Kirkpatrick, 81 bushels.
Ed McFadden, 50 SIS bushels.
John r. Saye, 81 2-5 bushels.
Horace Foster, 56a bushels.
Eugene Garrison, So 1-6 bushels.
Joe Love, SO bushels.
Will Latham, 543 bushels.
Lindsay Thomas, 443 bushels.
Newman Bagley, AZ 81 bushels.
Glenn Blair, 38 bushels.
Roy F. Marley, 35 1t bushels.
A large proportion Of the boys
brought ten picked ears from their re-
spectiye crops. Prof. Weeks had these
ears displayed on convenient racks In
one Of the grade rooms and gave to the
boys, their fathers and other interested
people who gathered around, a most
interesting lecture on seed corn selec-
tion. He explained the various points
taken into consideration, showed the
value of each, and opened the eyes Of
many In q way that astonished them.
The common idea as to corn produc-
ton In this country Is the yield test
the number Of bushels raised per acre.
While in o-wise disparaging this self
evident test, Prof. Weeks convinced
those present that the boy who could
select from his prize acre ten ears Of
corn that would outpoint any other ten
ears Of corn selected from q dozen or
more other prize acres, did not ask any
odds Of the others on the question Of
yield. He told those present very
frankly that the corn display was un-
usually creditable, and that some Of
the specimens were simply fine; but he
did not encourage anybody to think
that they would stand show Of mark
ed recognition at the International
Corn exposition. The boys who had
the best corn on exhibition. were
marked up in the following order:
1. Ralph Cain.
2. Lester tinker.
8. Rob Kirkpatrick.
4. Bratton Land.
5. Joe A. Miller.
6. F. E. Gaulden.
7. Joe Oates.
The two first named are to get free
trips to Columbia during the National
Corn exposition. No prizes were Of
fered for other than the two best sets
Of ten ears each.
After many Of the boys had removed
their ten ear exhibits, Prof. Weeks was
asked to select the best single ars. He
went through about a dozen exhibits
and picked out ears belonging to Earle
Land, Marcus kirkpatrick and Walter
Shillinglaw, as the best In l. 2. 8 order.
The Canning Club.
The Canning Club exhibit was ar
ranged in one Of the section rooms.
The work was done Friday afternoon
and night by Miss Garrison, assisted
by several Yorkville ladies', and the
display when completed was highly
suggestive Of the pickle, preserve and
canned goods department Of high
grade delicatessen store. Indeed the
effect was surprising. There were
canned tomatoes, pears, peaches cher
ries, potatoes, picked and preserved
tomatoes, tomato wine and acid, cat
sup, sauces, jelly, etc., all put up in the
neatest and prettiest packages, and
much of it putting the ordinary COM
mercial product to shame. Scores OF
ladies from town and country, inc!ud-
ing young girls, showed tremendous In.
terest in this department, and crowded
the room most Of the day.
The judges Of the canned goods ex-
hibit were Miss Edith Lander Parrott
of Rock Hill, state organizer Of the
Girls Canning Clubs Mrs. ]. B. Brat
ton Of McConnellsvil!e and Mrs r. E.
Montgomery Of Yorkville, and the
awards were as follows:
