CORN CLUB WORK IN
SEHBERRY COUNTY 1915.

Prosperity, Jan 15.-Thinking that
the public would be interested in
knowing what the corn club mem
ibers Of Newberry county are accom-
plishing l herewith submit a synop.
sis Of my report on club work for the
year 1916.
Thirty-two boys enrolled in the
corn CLUB and each planted an acre.
but on account OF extreme weather
only y boys gave in a report at the
end Of the year. The 2l boys re-
porting, however. produced Oh y acres
868 bushels of corn, an average OF
4 l3 bushels per acre at an average
cost Of 40 cents per bushel This
yield per acre is not as high as In
1915 on account of so much rain
during July. Some of the boys who
had iowlands planted almost made H
complete failure thus bringing down
the average considerably. Still the
average is little more than double
the average for the entire State,
showing that the boys are doing som=
good work.
The boys are not only making good
yields but are making them at a non,-
inal cost. One boy who deserves spec
ial mention gathered from his acre
$4,000 worth Of crimson clover and
then produced s. bushels Of corn, us
ing only small amount Of phosphor-
lc acid as fertilizer. The cost Of pro-
ducing his corn was only % cents
per bushel, allowing $500 for rent OF
land and counting labor and fertI-
lizer at market price. This corn was
planted On upland that has been cul-
tiyated for two generations, and yielu-
ed net profit from clover and corn
of $34S5. Boys who can farm like
this can bid defiance to the ravages
Of the boil weevil. Truly, "a little
child shall lead them
In this connection I wish to say
that the business men Of the county
have been very generous in giving
prizes to encourage the boys, thus
showing their appreciation Of the
work. In behalf of the boys I take
this opportunity to thank each one
Tor this generosity. Rest assured
that these prizes are highly appre-
ciated by the boys and county agent.
Besides the prizes given In the
county, the New7berry county boys
Won $1,000 in cash prizes at the State
fair, winning four out of nine prizes
offered to the corn club boys of the
State. Three Of these prizes were
hrsts, the other was a second. This
is record that all Of Newberry coun.
ty should be proud Of, not for the
fact alone that the boys are winning
some cash, but for the fact that they
are doing some high class work IN
corn growing. What we need now IS,
more boys in the work.
Parents, please encourage your boys
to take up this very important work.
1t may mean great deal to them in
after life.

4 CASE OF "SECTIONALISM'

Admiral George Dewey Dead.

Admiral George Dewey, the hero
of Manila Bay, died yesterday at the
ripe age of seventy-nine years.
40 man has endeared himself more
to the heart Of the nation in the last
generation than Admiral Dewey. Ev-
cry day of his long life has spelled
love to his country and efficiency In
its service
He was born on December 26, 1887,
in Montpelier, VT, and in 1854 he re-
ceived his NJ. NJ. S. in the Norwich
University. In 1858 he graduated
from the United States Navs' Acad-
emy, was attached to the Mediterra-
nean squadron until 1861, then trans
ferred to the steam sloop Mississippi
Of the West Gulf squadron, and be-
came captain of his ship which, as
a unit Of Farragut's squadron, assist
ed in forcing the pasasge of Ft. St..
Phillip and Ft Jackson in April, 1862
He became commander in April, 1872,
and commodore on February 8, 1872,
On May l he assumed command of
the Asiatic squadron in Manila Bay.
Here he commanded his squadron In
the famous battle of Manila Bay,
completely annlhilating the Spanish
Asiatic squadron under Admiral Mon
toto, destroying eleven ships and cap
turing all other vessels as we'll as
the land batteries, without the loss OF
single life on the American side.
Immediately upon the report of this
stupendous naval victory he was ap-
pointed rear admiral, and the nation,
through congress, thanked him in
special resolution. On March 2, 1899,
he became admiral Of the navy, and
IN May, 1900, president of the general
board Of the navy.
His first wife died in 1872. He mar
ried again in 1899. His wife, Mrs.
Mildren Mclean Dewey, was con-
stantly at his bedside during his short
illness.
1t was at the age of 81 when Ad-
miral Dewey was at his best. The
old school proved then to an ambi-
tious and young generation that ex-
perience and energy can make q
grand combination in a man Of ripe
age. The nation owes him a debt
that it can only pay by keeping his
memory green. His monument one
that will outlast all monuments Of
iron and stone, Is in the hearts of the
American people

You know how the many walls
