HOW FARMER BOYS CAN H KAISER BRYAN WILLINGHAM, STAfE PRIZE WINNER IN BOYS' CORN CLUB CONTESTS FOR 1917, SETS 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 armies fighting at the front and the families of the soldiers left at home. In dermany the boys are working. On the farms in America, from which so many men have gone to take their nlaces in the fiehtine line, there Is a , great opportunity for patriotic service for the farm boys not yet old enough to fight with a gun. Their weapons are the plow and the hoe. Bryanj Willingham, of Winnsboro, * Fairfield cunty, first State prize win* ner in the Boys' Corn Club contest for 1917, has set the pace for the farmer boys of South Carolina. What Bryan Willingham has done, other boya in South Carolina can do. Bryan is seventeen years of age. He has been a member of th0 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 uonege. in laib ne 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 well the importance j of deep and thorough "preparation of the seed-bed, the value of humus in the soil, and of good and well-selected ead. He has learned the value of oommercial fertilizers and how to apply them for best results; the value of frequent and shallow cultivation, *nd the injurious effect of pulling the blades or fodder from the corn. With these important principles well fixed in his mind, he started out with the determination of succeeding, And he did so, producing 157.8 bushels Af eorn on one acre at a cost of 17.6 cents per bushel. His net profit was $287.75. This being the best record made fcy any member of the Boys' Corn Club in South Carolina in 1917, Bryan Willingham was declared State champion for that year, and won as prizes A gold medal offered by Hon A. F. Lever and an International No. 4, 6 hoyel pivot axle Riding Cultivator, value $70, offered by the International Harvester Company., of Columbia.

The Concerv&tion and Production Division of the Food Administration has secured, for the benefit of those who will plant late corn, expert advice. Corn ean be successfully grown, according to Clemson College experts, from Columbia to the coast when Ranted by the middle of June. There is yet time, therefore, if corn is planted after the grain crop is harvested, 4a add largely to the corn acreage in 6outh' Carolina, which is greatly desirable. Only good land should be planted fa late corn, however. The poorer fan* ean be made to produce food by planting cow peas and peanuts. It is stated that it will probably not to wise to plant corn after grain in <he Piedmont section, because of the shorter season. For grain lands in ffcie section, cow peas, soy beans and peanuts are recommended. HO REASON FOR HIGH PRICES ON WHEAT SUBSTITUTES Columbia*?The Food Administration has sent out a warning to corn {millers and to wholesale and retail 'dealers in corn, barley and oats products that at the present prices of these grains cornmeal and oatmeal should he selling at least twenty per cent {below the price of wheat flour and fthat corn flour and barley flour should I the selling at least ten per cent below j "wheat flour. The high levels ruling in grains as :* result of car shortages and storm weather last winter have now fallen materially with much greater freedom of transportation and the stocks ac- j cumulated by manufacturers and traders at the prices ruling then should have been liquidated by this time, in the \iefw of the Food Administration. The maintenance of higher I price levels bv millers and wholesali * ?ra will require justification to the State and local administrators, and al- | though retailers are not under con- I trel. wholesalers will be instructed to cease dealing with retailers who cannot justify their prices on the basis !
