This State Can Grow More Corn.

In 1914 South Carolina planted l.
925,G0O acres in corn, producing &c..
$4,000 bushels, or 1872 bushels pei
acre. Wisconsin, in the same year
planted 1,725,0O0 acres, producing
69,862,0O0 bushels, or 40.5 bushels
per acre. Although South Carolina
planted 250,000 acres more than die
Wisconsin, the latter state made 49,,
324,000 bushels more corn-almost
twice as much as this state.
This is not as it should be. We
should be able to make as much corn
per acre as any state or county. The
question is, how are we to 60 about
it? There are two principal ways
to increase our average and under
our conditions both are necessary.
The first step lies in improving our
land, by means of thorough prepara-
ton, increasing the supply of humus
by winter cover crops, and using COM
mercial fertilizers intelligently. The
second step is the improvement of
seed by careful field selection. 1t has
already been demonstrated that our
improved lands are capable of max
ing from 40 to more than 100 bushels
per acre. Just how much more can
be grown on one acre with properly
selected seed is yet to be seen, but
we should certainly by all means give
the seed question more serious
thought.
The livestock breeder is far more
particular in selecting breeding stock
than is the average corn grower in
-, acting seed corn. Yet the laws
uove, ming livestock improvement are

;ronroven, 'ent. The, man who raises
hogs keep only the best sows, which
give the largest and most vigorous
Iitters of pigs. AS some sows give
better Itters than, Others, so some
ears of corn viii produce more corn
than other ears. Therefore, make an
effort to select the best ear for seed.
After selecting them, test them to
see which yield best. Seed selection
must begin in the field, in order to
know what kinds of stalks the ears
come from and what kind of chance
they had.
Before making selections, FIX on the
type of stalk and ear desired and
stick to this type. Keep 1t always
in mind so that the selection Will De
alike Selections should always be
made under uniform and normal con-
d;tions. Do not select from the best
land. Always take an average spo'
in the field.

republican headquarters in Suffolk
Street were raided this afternoon by
Free State troops, who arrested the
women Of the staff and seized ouan-
tity of documents. The troops, who
arrived in five lorries, cut off street
traffic and ransacked the premises from
top to bottom.
This is the first time the Free Staters
have interferred with the republicans
political organization, which has been
permitted to carry on openly. The raid
may be regarded as initiating a new
policy on the part of the Free Staters,
in view of the fact that the political
and military wings of the republican
movement are now completely fused and
De Valera, as the reappointed president
OF the republic, is openly challenging
the authority of the Free State.

hanging fire for several weaks, will now
be brought into operation, in view Of
