Prize Corn Leads County Farm Contest Narrative
Expert farm superintendent S W Altman produced 126 bushels eight pecks to win two prizes for largest yield and largest ear of corn. This year he grows five to six prize acres expecting to surpass last year with lower costs. The region shows booming crops in corn cotton and potatoes with standout farms Wilson Durant Hemingway Co and Rhein & Sons. The Oaks home of the Wilson family marks local heritage while Hemingsway & Co operate a vast store and extensive lands. Rhems S C hosts the largest mercantile and supplies much of the cotton trade, with Rhem & Sons posting strong yields last year. The contest grows as voters rally with 5,000 bonus votes won by D D Porter.
