ntiOn Of Wheat Grow.
erS.

The Greenwood Journal has
lnaugurated "A movement for a
convention of the heat growers
In South Carolina, which is al
ready receiving wide endorse-
ment. The following is from
Mr.. n. A. Craig, president of the
Craig milling company:
Editor Journals: | desire to
commend the efforts which YOU
are making to have the farmers
hold a wheat growers convention
at some point in the State. Of
course [ should prefer having it
at Greenwood, but | am ready to
forward efforts to have it at any
other place. | think it would be
best to have 1t not later than the
latter part Of August so as to give
the farmers time to consider the
matters discussed and make their
preparations for s,wing large
crops of wheat. am sure that
If wheat culture shall receive
one-half the attention now given
to cotton they would make large
crops of wheat, and find it more
profitable. All that is needed is
a waking up of the farmers of the
State. The advantage will be
two-fold. Not only will great
help come from raising the wheat
but 1T will diminish the cotton
acreage and in this way enable
farmers to receive a better price
for their cotton.
wish to add my hearty en-
dorsement to all that you have
written on the subject and to say
that l stand ready to do all that
can to further the interests of
the convention. | have already
made some efforts IN this direc

YORK COUNTY WILL ATTEND THE
CONVENTION.

Mr.. Sam NJ. Grisr, Of YorkviIle.
writes to the Juurna! as follows :
l am not wheat raiser, in fact
l am not a farmer at all, bat
heartily >endorse your plan for
the holding Of a"Wheat Growers
ConventIOn." It cannot fail to
do good if the farmers can be led
to appreciate its value.
York County has five roller
flour mills either in operation or
In process OF erection, and In ad =
dition has not less than a dozen
old style burr mills. Notwith-
standing the superior facilities
for making flour, thousands of

ty each year and sold to the
farmers, who, if they would ap-
ply intelligent business methods,
would have flour to sell instead
of to buy, and thus keep at home
a large amount of money, prob.
ably not less than 5000. 900, that
annually goes to the railroads,
Western mills and farmers. with
a gnOdly per cent. left in the
hands OF the home merchants.
| use York County as an illus
tratlon because OF my Familiarity
with existing conditions here at
home, and am satisfied that it
buys less flour than almost any
county In the State, population
considered. | think it would be
safe to say that South Carolina
pays out each year on a. average
$150,000 for each county In the
State.
Now, with your permission, |
will make few suggestions in
regard to the proposed convention
and | make them with the assur-
ance that If adopted vii! aid ma.
terially in accomplishing the end
desired by you.
In the first place | will state
that there are comparatively few
farmers In South CarniIna who
understand the proper method OF
preparing the ground, icrtilizrng
and seeding wheat. Mo,t of them
know how to raise cotton, but not
wheat, and the methods IN vogue
have had more to do with the dis
c0uraging results than snll, elm
ate or seasons. If there is to
be a school intended. to teach
farmers how to raise wheat it
will fail of its object unless there
are teachers who are better post
ed than the pupils.
Catawba County, n. O., of
which Newton is the county seat,
is recognized as one of the lead.
ing wheat producing counties of
the South, and of course there are
scores of farmers within its
bounds who are thoroughly post
ed as to what methods are neces-
sary to pursue to obtain the best
results. am not personally &C.
quainted with a single farmer in
the county named, and only know
some of them by reputst on, but
suggest that the wheat growers
convention should invite-with q
guarantee of expenses not less
than two or three Of the best
farmers in Catawba county to
'ttend the convention and tell
the members "how to do it," |
am satisfied that either MIR. II
M. Roseman, of Lincolnrnn, n. c..
or Mr.. Geo. A. Warlick, of New
ton, n. c., Will take pl, asure in
furnishing the names and ad-
dresses of the required number
Of the kind of farmer have
specified.
In conclusion permit ",- to say
that any assistance | e. render
toward making the con, rtiop
success will be cheerfu given.
