Although a large part of the State | experienced the most severe drouth in Many years, the result of the Boys' Contest shows an increased average yield above 1911. Sis hun dred and thirty-five boys have ma!e their report with a total yield of 1 39,800 bushels, or an average yield of 62.8 bushels per acre. In 19111 435 boys reported with an average yield oi 00.7 bushels. The average cost in 1912 was 47c, while iu 1911' it was 45c. This increueed coet a due largely to the severe drouth lii the Piedmont section, which reduced the yield and thereby inareascd the cost per bushel. Two boys madeabove 175 bushel*, five above 150, twenty-one above 125 and ueventy-five above 100. The largest yield was made by Richard Brock, in Wayne county, but his cost of production was solarge that the championship of tl>e State goes to Qeorge West, Jr., of Kinston, witb a yield of 184 bushels. The two boys making the bf t record iu each district, twenty in all, win free trips to the National Corn Exposition. These trips are given by the Southern Fertilizer Associa tion of Atlanta, Ga. Many counties will also send boys to this Exposi tion . One girl, Miss Ethel Smith, of Stanly county, competed with the boys and won third prize in ber dis trict There were two other girls in the contest in the State, bnt their yields were not large enough to win district prizes. The work is in charge of I. O. Schaub, of the U. 8. Department of Agricnltnre and A. A M. College, assisted by A. K. Robertson, of the Stale Department of Agriculture. Sunday a week the management of the North Carolina Soldier*' Home provided the oce bnndred and more Confederate veterans in the home a dinner tbat consisted of pork-bam, noose-meat, Irish potatoes, rice, baker's bread, bis cuit, cornbread, coffee, Ua and milk and peaches. A few hours thereafter 40 of the veterans were in the throes of attacks bordering on ptomaine poison. The phy sician of the home and several trained nurses called in were kept busy for several hoars before the old soldiers were folly relieved. The pork-ham and souse, es pecially the latter, are blamed for the attacks. Frank Quthrie, an aged white man and blind, was sentenced to eigh. months on the Bancombe .county roads for conducting a "blind tiger." He appealed to the Supreme Court and gave $4,- 000 Irond. It is stated that when the »ato mobilo license law was passed in 190t) there were about 1,000 auto mobil s iu the State.
