mean length of days. Many a per

may never have lived at all in the
true sense of the term —he has on

if his years have been unmarked by
industry, helpfulness and progress.
The man who lives well and whose

CORN GROWING IN THE SOUTH.
An evil that has grown up among
southern farmers since the close of
the civil war is the buying of west
ern corn to feed their working stock.
Not all farmers do this, but a suffi
cient number, especially among the
large class of tenant farmers, follow
this suicidal policy to cause it to be
spoken of as the general custom.
Why is this done? One reason
may be that tenant farmers, having
in view the possibility of moving to
. another farm, prefer to raise cotton
which they will have sold before
Christmas, and buy their corn and
hay the next year, rather than be un
der the necessity of having to haul
such bulky stuff perhaps a consider
able distance. But the principal rea
son doubtless is that the farmers be
lieve it will pay them best.
Cotton is a cash crop, and one up
on which they can readily borrow
money in advance. It is also regard
ed as more certain in its returns; a
drought at the critical time may cut
down the corn crop very much, but
rarely injures cotton to such an ex
tent. So cotton growing has been
given the preference at the expense
of corn; more and more our farmers
have become dependant on western
corn, until now many of them really
believe that the west is the corn
country as ours is the cotton country,
that corn will grow so much better
and yield so much more per acre in
the west that it is really a sound
principal of economy that the south
ern farmer should buy western corn,
while he devotes himself almost ex
clusively to the raising of cotton.
This is a great mistake. The south
is better adapted to the growing of
corn than the w’est. Larger yields
I per acre can be secured in the south
i than in what is considered the great
! corn belt in the west. It is true, as
; shown by the government statistics,
. that the average yield of corn per
acre in Georgia is but 9 bushels
while in the western corn belt it is
over 30 bushels. But the reason for
this is that in Georgia as a rule
; the best land and the best attention
is given to cotton, and the poorest
land and the least attention to corn,
while in the west corn is the fa vor
ed crop. Given the best attention in
both section more and better corn pel
acre can be grown in the south than
in the west.
Perhaps there are those who will
doubt this statement, but the facts
bear it out. Special attention has
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS r - ASDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1909.
been given of late to corn growing
in various states, and efforts have
; been made to discover how large a
yield per acre it was possible to ob
i tain. The results have been sur
j prising. The Albany Herald, for in
| stance, instituted a corn growing con-
I test and of the prize-winners, all of
i them from different counties, none
| fell below 100 bushels per acre. In
Edgefield county a similar contest
resulted in almost equally large
yields. But the prize of all was tak
en by a young farmer in Marlboro
county, who succeeded in growing
152 1-2 bushels on one acre.
Contrast this with western efforts.
The prize crop in the western corn
belt this year was grown by a farm
er who gathered 155 3-4 bushels from
one acre. This is three bushels more
than the South Carolina farmer
, raised, but the western farmer was
an old farmer, president of the lowa
Corn Crowers’ Association and a
farmer who “has been breding and
raising corn for many years and has
given his work as well as his land
the closest attention,” while the
southern farmer was a young man
only 17 years of age, who did not
have this experience.
This shows that under like con
ditions of intelligent scientific farm
ing more corn per acre can be pro
duced in the south than in the fa
mous corn belt of the west. In ad
dition to this the southern corn is
much better, a difference which is
more appreciated now since it is un
derstood how the use of western corn
is dangerous, producing pellagra if
eaten by men and blind staggers and
other diseases if fed to stock. —Au-

What to Read.
“Tell me what a man reads and I
will tell you what he is,” said a wise
writer; for little by little the things
that we read become our thoughts,
and make the very texture of the
mind.
During the last few months the at
tention of the American people lias
been aroused to the consideration of
pure and impure foods. This agita
tion has done good, for with the a
bundance of good food there is little
excuse for using any food which is
harmful. The time has come when
the American family must give bet
ter attention than in the past to an
other matter —the choice between
good and bad reading. We have
head enough about wickedness in
both public and private life; too
many stories of criminal transac
tions; too much about the evil and
not enough about the good in life.
Let us have the bright and clean
side of our American life only. Let
us read stories of heros who are both
brave and noble, and not vulgar and
confessed criminals. The mission of
the press is to help the reader, not
drag him down; to suggest high, not
low ideals.
At this season the average Ameri
can family selects periodicals for the
next year. Let the choice be only
for clean, wholesome, patriotic
periodicals. Send for the Pros
pectus of the 1910 Volume of The
Youth’s Companion and see what an
amount of the best reading selected
from the world’s abundance of every
sort can be had for only $1.75 —52
spendid issues.
Every new subscriber receives in
addition to the 52 issues for 1910,
all the issues for the remaing weeks
of 1909, and the “Venetian” Calen
dar, lithographed in thirteen colors
and gold.
