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- gusta Herald.

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.
