HOW FARMER BOYS
GAN FIGHT KAISER
BRYAN WILLiNGHAM, STATE
PRIZE WINNER IN BOYS CORN
CLUB CONTESTS FOR 1917,
GETS THE PACE.

Columbia.-What one boy can do.
another can do. There should be an
American boy to match every German
boy in producing food to feed the nr.
mics hghting at the front and the fam
lilies or the soldiers left at home. In
Germany the boys are working. On
the farms i'll America, from which So
many men have gone to take their
places in the fighting line. there Is q
great opportunity for patriotic service
FOR the farm boys not yet old enough
to light With a gun. Their weapons
are the piow and the hoe.
Bryan Nillingham. OF Winnshoro
Fairfield cunty, first State prize win.
ner In the Boys Corn Club contest for
1917. has set tho pace for the farmer
boys or South Carolina. What BRYAN
Willingham has done, other BOYS in
South Carolina can do.
Bryan is seventeen years Of age. He
has been a member OF the Corn Club
for several years. He has on more
than one occasion won in his county
contest. In 1915 he won a scholarship
to a short course in agriculture offer.
ed by Clemson College. In 1916 he
attended the short course, when he
received valuable scientific knowledge
Of soils, plants and cultural methods,
which. coupled with his practical
knowledge, he has applied to his farm.
ing operations with marked success.
He has learned we'll the Importance
of deep and thorough preparation of
the seed-bed, the value Of humus in
the soil, II Of good and well.selected
seed. He has learned the value Of
commercial fertilizers and how to ap-
ply them for best results; the value
OF frequent and shallow cultivation,
and the injurious effect Of pulling the
blades or fodder from the corn.
With these important principles
we'll fixed in his mind, he started out
with the determination OF succeeding,
and he did so, producing 1878 bushels
Of corn on one acre at a cost Of 17.6
cents per bushel. His net profit was
$2S7.75.
This being the best record made
by any member Of the Boys Corn
Club in South Carolina in 1917. Bryan
Willingham was declared State cham
plon Tor that year. and won as prizes
a gold medal offered by Hon A. Il
Lever and an International No. 4, G.

value $40, offered by tho international
Harvester Company, Of Columbia.
The past achievements of this
young farmer have fired him with
determination to do even greater
things. He will continue in the club
work in 1918. after which It is his
purpose to attend Clemson College
n take the complete agricultural
course to fit himself for successful
farming. which he proposes to make
his life work.
Bryan Willingham's achievement
should prove IN inspiration to the
farmer boys Of South Carolina.

We are looking forward to big
year in the boys and girls work next
year in Bayfield, County. Every boy
and girl between the age OF twelve
and eighteen should att plant the seed
that they produced last year and more
if they can. Our country is in great
err need for food now than any time
I'm her history. We as young boys
and girls can be real patriots by plant
ing at least one peck of good seed po-
tatOes and caring for these. Another
year we are hoping to increase our
potato work by Offering larger prizes
in one half and one acre contests.
This is really encouraging when
you notice the yield which were pro-
duced from one peck of potatoes by
some of our club members last year
The following are the ten highest
yields from the club members:
Ina Bogenrief, Washburn Club,
10 2-3 bu
Edwin Anderson, Iron River Club,
Is bu.
Arnold Warbelow, Iron River Club,
1914 blu.
Harry Callen. Bayfield, Club, IL blu.
Anna Baehr, Ashland Jet. Club.
|1Ok Blu.
Elsie Grupstra, Washburn Club,
10 1-3 blu.
Harry Jardine, Port Wing Club,
S1a' bu.
Francis McKean,. Bayfield, Club,
8 bu.
Paul Schnett, Iron River Club,
s blu.
Oscar Hagen, Washburn Club 3 bu.
The average yield from 364 children
who received one peck is nearly seven
bushels to the peck or at the rate or
$50 bushels to the acre. 1t Is our
idea to continue this work with the
boys and girls and there is nothing
more important than to encourage
our boys and girls to stay on the farms
of Wisconsin and to do this, we should
teach them in early life the value or
ownership or something that they can
use and call their own and then in
crease their earnings from one year
TO another. In other words it teaches
our children the value of money and
thrift.

Barksdale unknown to Meet San
ders in This City
Match Will be Staged at the Opera House
February 9TH. BeeIe
to Referee.

What gives promise of being
one of the most interesting
wrestling matches ever staged
in this city will be held here on
the evening of Feb. 7th when
Roy Anderson, the Barksdale
unknown" will meet Elmer
Sanders, pride of Ashland.
There is great interest in this
match because of the fact that
Anderson is sort of an unknown
quantity in the wrestling line.
Anderson arrived in this city
more than a month ago and ac-
copied employment at the plant
of the Dupont company in the
powder department. Hi Hansen
came foreward at that time with
a challenge for Anderson to meet
all corners and for a time there
was not a peep" from any of
the wrestlers of this section who
wanted to meet the unknown,
they claiming that Anderson
was not the real name of the
wrestler but that he was one of
the "big fellows" travelling
about the country.
Anderson disproved this state
ment by showing his registration
card and QUESTIONABLE showing
him to be Roy Anderson and no
other person, although he had
wrestled at times under other
names.
AS soon as this was learned
Sanders of Ashland accepted the
challenge of Anderson and Foss
