Changes Recommended by South Car.
0lina Freight Rates Association and
Ordered Put Into Effect by Rail.
road Commissioner.

New express rates for intra state
Shipment in South Carolina went in
to effect yesterday. July 1, which are
radical change from the formerly
existing rates. The new rates tend
toward an cqualiZ, ton of rates and
are based upon much simpler classi- =
hcatiOn that before. The new rates
are higher in some cases, remain the
same in some cases and are lower in
other instances. While it would be
impossible to say just what effect they
Will have on the general public upon
whom the company depends for most
OF its business, it seems from a cursory
investigation that the new rates will
to u great extent lower the cost of
small shipments. while it will to u
similar extent increase the cost of
larger shipments.
The new rates for intra-s state ship
mcnts are based upon the interstate
express rates which were formulated
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion and put into effect by all express
companies on first of February by
order OF the Interstate commerce
commission. The State is divided in
to blocks and the rates are based on
mileage, according to the block into
or from which the shipment is made.
There arc comparatively little changes
on the whole, probably, from former
rates .Formely there were five class
cs of shipments, while the new rates
provide for only two classes of ship
ments.
The putting into effect Of the new
rates has kept the express company
employees buster than usual for the
past few days, but it Is thought that
ratings will come easier, after the now
rates are absorbed by those who have
to deal with them.

IMPROVING ROADS.
Improvement of Road Between
Black River and County Line May
Bring Tobacco To Sumter.

Recently Supervisor Pitts has had
II force of men from the chain gang
working on the road from the new
crossing on l:lack River to the coin-
~ line near Sardinia. This road has
been much improved and is now i'm
pretty good condition. 1t is thought
that this work may mean considerable
to Sumter during the summer, as il
may induce the people from around
sardinia To bring part of their
tobacco to Sumter. There is n
great deal of tobacco planted in
this locality and it is expected that
the Sumter market will be sufliy
cicntly strong to warrant the people
coming here to sell. Formerly this to
bacoc has all gone to Manning or
Olanta.
/. Work will also be done on this road
from the new crossing at Black River
toward Sumter before the tobacco
season sets in, 50 that persons bring
ing produce will have good road all
the way to Sumter.
The recent intensely hot weather
has delayed work on the new road
between Black River and Shiloh, it
being SO hot down in the cypress bot
toms, where the gang was employed
that it was thought best to set them
to work somewhere else until the
weather became cooler, as the heat
was dangerous to the men on the
gang and the animals used with the
gang.

Leland gave for publication Friday
Gle regarding the contest:
I'm the spring of 1913 Thos. Dins-
more of China offered prize of 500
| to the person in Maine who would
raise the largest amount of shelled
cern-over one hundred bushels, on a
measured acre of land. Later w. r.
Kendall of Bowdoinham added $500
to this prize and offered a second
prize of $500, provided some brand
of Sagadahoe Commercial Fertilizer
was used in growing the crop.
Twenty three entries were received,
but owing to the difficulties of the sea-
son only six were able to carry the
contest throughout the season. Five
of these had especially fine fields of
corn and others, who did not make the
final report, had fields which yielded
paying crops of corn.
THE winners were Miss N c. Bur
leigh of Vassalboro, with 1871 bushels,
and George Croker of Manchester
with yield of 1875 bushels.
THE yields secured by the parties
who carried through the contest to
the end of the season point a great
lesson in the value of thorough cult
walton and of more vital seed. To Sc
cure prize yields. it Is necessary that
every hill and every stalk in the hill
be strong and vigorous, and that each
corn plant be given every possible adj
vantage.
"a comparison of cost in growing
corn for high yields and corn which
viii only produce the state average
of about so bushels per acre shelled
corn, is interesting. The cost of grow
ing one acre of corn has been esti-
mated by careful corn growers in diff
ferent sections of the State to be not
far from $4,000. For this cost, with
fair seed, a farmer should expect in
an average season from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty bushels of
husked corn per acre. In this contest,
in very unfavorable season, the cost
has been about $4,000 per acre for
those who secured the highest yield,
and the return has been nearly double
that received by the corn grower who
expended only $4,000 in growing his
crop.
There is limit beyond which in
creased cost of production may not be
met with proportional increase of
yield and of value, but in this State
we have not yet reached that limit.
Let us care for our corn better, put a
little more expense in the growing of
the crop, and note any increase in
yield. Let us keep records that we
may know the cost of crop produc-
ton anG ~ III a position to say how
far we may go in increasing the cost
of growing the crop and be assured of
increased yield to more than balance
the increased cost"
