New YORK, Sept. 80, 1914.
Mr.. Lucian 1. Strauss, Sumter s. c.
My Dear Mr.. Strauss:
Your favor of the 18th was referred
to me by Mr.. Hecht, but owing to the
unusual amount of work attached to
handling the BUY a Bale Of Cotton"
movement for Mr.. Hearst in this city,
an acknowledgment was not sent
sooner.
AS you probably know 10y this time.
we have been influential in getting
the Merchants Association and the
business men of New York started
on an active campaign for subscrip-
tions. The American has been run
ming a daily story showing the pro.
gress and spreading the propaganda,
and numerous cartoons on cotton have
been placed before the public.
Trusting that we shall soon see the
gratifying effect of movement Of
this magnitude, 1 remain,
Sincerely yours,
Ii. Edwin Keller.

YIELDS RESULT OF SEED.
Heavy Bearing Corn Of Good Quality
Not Matter Of Chance, but of Care
ful Work.

Clemson College. Oct. 5.-Purc
bred calves are not produced by
scrub cows, nor are large yields of
good corn the fruits Of luck. This
lesson Is one that years Of exper-
fence should have taught South Caro-
lima farmers by this time and there Is
no farmer I'm this State. according to
Clemson College. who will not profit
largely by selecting his seed corn
now for next years crop. The indi-
cations are that more acreage than
ever before will be planted in corn
next year and the aim should be tn
make the yield as well as the acreag g
break records.
1t Is plain to any man that there
Is more profit In making four hun
dred bushels Of corn on ten acres
than In making the same amount on
twenty acres. There are few men in
this State who could not make forty
bushels OF corn to the acre, If they
followed the principles Of the good
farming that have been preached and
demonstrated to them for years. One
OF the most important steps in in
creasing the yield of corn is to Sc
cure good seed and one of the sur
est and safest ways to secure good
seed Is to make field selection of
seed ears at this season.
w. L. Hutchinson, professor Of
agronOmy of Clemson College, ad-
vises that field selection Of seed corn
be carried on Just before the corn Is
gathered. Select about fifty ears for
each acre to be planted, as the corn
must go through a termination test
later on and there should be plenty
of margin in the amount selected.
Three important things to look for
In field selection of seed corn are
type Of stalk, height Of ear on the
stalk and growing conditions of
stalk.
Select vigorous stalks that stand up
straight. They should be stout at
the bottom and tapering toward the
top. Short stalks are usually more
desirable, other things being equal.
Ears that are unusually high OH the
stalk are undesirable. They are like
ly to produce stalks with high ears,
which tend to make stalks top heavy.
A long shank is. likely to be inherited
and Is point to be avoided.
Do not select from a stalk that
produces a fine heavy ear. but has
grown up In the center Of a cleared
space. This stalk has had very fav-
orable conditions. probably. and there
Is no reason to believe that seed
taken from 1t will do as well under
average conditions. Select rather
from stalks grown under average
conditions. or even under favorable
conditions. which have shown by
yields better than those Of their
neighbors that they have been able
to do better work with equal oppor-
tunity. .

TO RURAL SCHOOLS.
corning Prizes for School Improve
>'mcnt.

Miss Eva May IIitc, president of
the South Carolina Rural School I'M
provemcnt Association, has sent out
the following to the schools of the
State.
The South Carolina School Improve
ment Association is the only volun-
tary organization in operation in the
State today which has for it's aim
the betterment OF educational condi-
tiOns affecting each white child whose
name appears on the school registers.
BY means Of local organizations in the
various school communities, senti-
menr. and even demand, for i'm
proved school facilities is being Gre
atsd.
AS means Of stimulating even
greater activity in the Improvement of
schools the State department Of edu-
cation has provided forty prizes-ten
first prizes Of $50 each. and thirty Sec
Ond prizes Of $25 each-to be award
ed by the School Improvement Asso-
citation.
This organization has adopted a
regular prize score card as a basis in
awarding these prizes for school i'm
provement in country schools. The
items given consideration on this card
may be grouped under three heads:
First, the school building; second, the
equipment; third, community activi-
ties.
The School Improvement Associa-
tiOn insists that all buildings lbe
erected upon plans approved by the
State board Of education. Any varia-
tiOn from these plans lessons the
chance Of such school Of winning a
prize.
Good equipment in a school room is
just as important as the building
itself. The items of equipment named
on the score card are considered nec-
essary if the school is to be an effi-
cient one. These embrace q sutfi-
cient number Of single desks, a globe,
case Of maps, q sufficient amount
Of blackboard. and library.
There is one phase Of the work
Of the School Improvement Associa-
tion which cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. and that is the
phase which arouses public opinion
In favor Of better schools. This in
terest is manifested in some commu-
nifty activities which may be shown in
the presence Of local school i'm
provement association. pupils in the
Boys Corn Club or Girls Tomato
Club. Home-makers' Club. and pub
lie meetings held at the school build
ing in an effort to make the school
the community centre. This phase Of
the work is given particular atten-
ton by the committee awarding the
school Improvement prizes.
The president Of the State Associa-
ton will gladly furnish prize applica-
ton blanks upon request. These may
also be secured from any county su-
perintendent of education or county
organizer Of school improvement asso-
Citations. All application blanks should
be accurately filed out and sent to the
county superintendent or organizer on
December l. The prizes will be award
ed as soon after that date as the pa
plications can be sent to the State
president.

BARTER AND EXCHANGE.
Lack Of Bills Of Exchange in South
America Forces Revision Of
Old Peactira.

New York, Aug. 2S.-A system of
middle age, but on an enormous scalt,
is likely to be the first step in the
development of the new era of COM
merce between the United States
and South American countries,
Events have clearly shown that in
the absence of bills of exchange be-
tween this country and Latin-Amerl-
can nations, due entirely to the col
lapse of credits because of the gener-
al war in Europe, Latin American
buyers have to offer in exchange for
American supplies crude products
which will be of use to manufacture
ers in this country. The economic
situation thus presented is remark
able and brings up pictures OF CEN
turtles ago, but it is preliminary to
the beginning of the shipment OF
great amounts Of supplies to South
America and the bringing back of
cargOes of various foodstuffs and raw
materials. The moment active ship
pings is under way there Will be
plenty of bills of exchange and the
banking sitlNtion will take care OF
the rest. Argentina has meats, lin
seed oil, hard wood, hides and wheat;
Uruguay is offering the same; Brazil
has coffee, rubber and coco; Chile
has nitraes of soda, while Bolivia has
silver. copper and tin, and Ecuador
has vegetable ivory, hats, coffee,
cocoa and other products for eXpor-
Iation and trade. These Latin-Amer-
lean countries want automobiles,
clothing, shoes. cheap cotton goods

tural material and other finished
