The Organization Of the Berkeley County
Agricultural Society has greatly stimulated
the farmers, who show disposition not to
be excelled by their neighbora. Tho sale
Of agricultural machinery has become i'm.
mense within the last year or two. Five
or six years ago the county did not sup.
port one good house for the sale OF farm
implements, now there are several large
houses doing quite an extensive business.
The use. OF lei llizsrs has become almost a
necessity, and thousands OF dollars are
spent yearly BY our farmers 10 the purchase
Of them. The writer, though raised on
farm, cannot tell how our farmers, as
class, are 80 prceDeroua, when it is consid.
cred how much they pay annually for i'm.
plements, fertilizers, taxes, reassessment,
&C., &c. ~ Stssf III
The wool interest is quite feature alsc;
thousands OF pounds are annually clipped
and shipped eas. through Mr.. Luther Mil.
Ter and Mr. George Bowers,l who are the two
principal dealers in the county. Were it
not that majority of our people think
more Of dogs than they do Of sheep the
wool interest would in u fsw years become
the moat profitable enterprise in which our
farmers could engage. There ia an abund.
ance OF land especially adapted for sheep
raising. 4j5' IL $50
