unable to eat anything but bread and

"The nervous strain at my office
from 6 A. M. to 6 P. NJ. and improper
foods caused my health to fail rapidly

tried without benefit until I saw Grape
Nuts mentioned in the paper.

CHAMPION. CORN
GROWER AT MULLENS
ERNEST M JOYE OF WILLIAMS.
BURG COUNTY TELLS ABOUT
HIS PRIZE ACRE.

Ernest McLaurin Joye, who has
been called the champion corn grow
er of South Carolina, was in Mullins
for couple of hours Thursday while
awaiting connections with the noon
train for his home in Williamsburg
county. He arrived on the morning
train. coming here from Columbia.
The young man was accompanied by
his father, L L Joye, prosperous
PLANTER of the Hemingway section OF
Williamsburg county.
While stopping in Mullins the
young corn king was met by num-
Der of the citizens of the town who
took an interest in him and heard
his remarks on how he produced the
splendid yield which has won for him
the honors of being the States cham
pion corn grower. He spoke also OF
his visit to Washington which had
been awarded him for his record.
The young man had been to the Ma
tional Corn Exposition for several
days, and while there he was award
ed the State prize of SIS for his
yield, which was the highest average
reported in the Boys Corn clubs.
He made 207 bushels on one acre at a
cost of 4Oc per bushel.
Young Joye spoke in a cheerful
manner of his methods employed in
planting and raising of his crop and
answered all questions asked him in
regard to the process established in
making of his crop. Among other
things he said:

venting it having too much stalk to

only one stalk of the $4,000 was
barren. This point | overcame by
selecting seed in the field from the
most prolific stalks and transplant

and holding the plant down so as to
have less stalk to support and to give
the plant the help it needs mos: in
