speaks as follows of two Of Anderson
County progressive farmers "Mr. VIM.
McWhorter, who lives near Denver, in
Anderson County. is one of the model far
mers. His dwelling and all of the out
buildings were planned by himself, and
nre arranged for the greatest convenience.
He is warm advocate of diversified crops,
hence in addition to his large cotton crop,
he always raises enough corn to do him.
AS to cattle and horses, he is a stock
raiser, his pens and pasture being now
| filled with colts and calves. He has
about two acres set in Bermuda grass,
which he says pays better dividend than
|, any other two acres on the farm. He also
has happy family Of eight children, four
daughters and four sons.,. Mr.. James
McElroy, of the Sandy Springs section of
Anderson County, is great believer in
grass patch, but he is too good farmer to
allow it to get mixed with his other crops.
he has fine plot of blue grass which he
says is the best and cheapest stock food
grown, and that he would not try to get
along without it for anything. He is
quite familiar with the magnificent blue
grass hills of Kentucky, and he knows no
reason why we should not have as fine
blue grass here as can be had there, pro-
vided we bestow the sane pains. Mr.. Nc.
is also a most successful stock raiser.
