THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
The Cotton Growers Association.

The County Cotton Growers Association met
here the 4th instant. After reorganizing, with K.
l. Archer president they took up the warehouse
proposition and appointed a committee to look
after that as well as the sale of cotton A local
club at Glenn Springs is going to build a regula-
ton warehouse at once. E. ID. Smith, State Pres
ident of the Association. on his way to Asheville,
said there would be an expert buyer with head
quarters at his office in Columbia, who would give
information to county buyers and assist in secur-
ing best prices possible The general conclusion
of members is that they will abide by the decision
Of the executive committee in session at Asheviue
this week. The Association is doing much good.
1t is leading many farmers up to making their
own supplies. They are adopting better methods
of land improvement. The best feature of the
organization is that bankers, merchants and mill
men all favor the Association. The farmers are
working against no one. They feel assured that
they improve their own condition, all other
enterprises will go up with them.
Pea Vine Hay.
Some farmers in this State are cutting
their vines. Early varieties in May are
ready. The proper time to cut them is when there
Is a show of ripening pods generally on the field
If cut earlier than that they sappy; if later
the vines are hard and woody and the leaves are
lost Last year vines were cured beautifully by
cooking up on the ground. There no rain
to wet them Stakes driven in the ground and
standing about three feet high with two Stats
nailed on top will keep the vines off the ground
anu give an air space. Our Vlu0S ndNc AWAY
cured well without that trouble. If one has little
room they should be baled If intended for sale
1t is better to bale them. But if fed on the farm
they may be packed away in houses and sheds that
will keep them dry. If baled when partly cured or
when damp they will mold and rot.
Cutting the Vines.
Pea stubble intended for corn or cotton next
year should not be turned in the fall Let 1t
stand. The leaves left make mulch and the land
Will be soft and mellow in March. If small grain
IS sown the stubble it is better not to turn It
Best results are secured by breaking the land
with long tongue plows, or narrow half shovels,
and then narrowing same and leave as much OF
tle Stubble possible on top of the ground and
the roots beneath the surface. A sane principle
10 guide one is never to turn land unless there
Is heavy stubble to turn under. Even II pea
vines are not cut for hay, we would not turn them
under When left on top they put the soil in
much better condition than if they are buried.
BY all means let all farmers save every ripe pea
possible. They will be needed next year. lndlca-

SOUTH CAROLINA FARMERS AT SCHOOL.
Remarkable Success of the Recent Institute at
Clemson College.

Messrs Editors For dozen years Clemson
has been doing much to improve the methods of
farming in this State But farmers are slow to
lay aside the old plans and adopt and better
ones. The old story of the man carrying his
to mill in one end of the sack and rock in the
other end to balance it, because his father did
that, illustrates the difficulty of teaching farmers
better methods. They have been fooled often
by swindlers that they are suspicious. Clemson
College is not educating boys and sending them
back to the farms. Judging from the work the
graduates are doing it is more school of tech
nology than for the farmer. But the faculty of
the College by means of County Institutes and
State Institutes held annually at the College are
reaching hundreds of actual farmers and dissent
Mating practical ideas in every county. In an
other issue propose to tell about the work Of
the County Institutes
Hon. M. L. Donaldson, of Greenville, life
trustee of Clemson and member of the special
committee having this work in charge, has kindly
submitted the following sketch of the recent An
nual Institute with statement of what it will be
next year.
The Annual Institute
'For threefold purpose, it deemed de-
sirable to have the farmers of the State assemble
once each year at Clemson College.
'First, That the farmers, that class of
citizens most directly interested the most direct
ly benefited, might see for themselves how their
money was being expended-and the character OF
the work being done.
"Second. That they themselves might have op-
pOrtun1ty TO get EracClcal lessons OH 1drIu1IS III
all it's varied branches in the form Of lectures, the
cream, so to speak, that rises from scientific
search.
"And thirdly: That farmers from all parts of
the State might have weeks vacation, respite
from the daily grind the farm, and have a
chance to get acquainted and interchange views
and experiences with each other.
"The experience of the past goes to show that
all these desirable ends have been accomplished,
and that there is from year to year deeper,
wider and more abiding interest manifested III the
Annual Institutes at Clemson. The meeting in
1905, just closed, the best attended and the
most generally satisfactory of any yet held. The
enviable place at the head of the column of
similar institutes in the South and perhaps of the
whole country has been reached.
e1t is the purpose of the committee of the
board of trustees, having the institute work of
the College in charge, to make the institute for
1905 take long stride in advance of any one
that has preceded. The program and list of
speakers will be arranged at an earlier date and
with. wider range than heretofore. More home
talent from among the up-to-date and successful
farmers of South Carolina will be employed. Sub
iects will be so arranged that visitors may know

tions point to the sowing of larger small grain
crop than usual. Peas will be needed to SOW the
stubble. The price will not fall below $1OO
bushel, however large the crop may be. There is
no better milk and butter producer than peas
boiled and mixed with pea vine hay If there is
anything superior to the mixture we have failed
to find it. CHARLES PETTY

Soon it will be time to expect windfall of
hickories and walnuts every morning. The sassa-
fras leaves are aame, the poplar is sprinked with
yellow, at the heart of the blackgum there begins
to burn rich, regal red. The maple is delaying
her splendors, but in response to all the wander

of a higher class for class B and as
the work increases, I have estimated
the force which l believe to be neces-
sary to operate the two engines,
A comparison shows that consid-
ering all costs, there will be no ma
terial difference in running expense
between engines of Glass A and en-
gines of Glass b the showing being
a little in favor of Class A until you
use more than six million gallons
daily, after which 1t gradually be-
comes more favorable to Glass B.
From the first cost Of the plant
you will see that the complete build-
ing with the two engines Of Glass A
costs $S5,622, while the building and
one engine of Glass 3 costs $34sr
TAI, which is almost as much, ann
the building with two engines Of
Glass B costs $22,125 more than tie
building with two engines OF
Glass A. In short, If you select Class
A engines the first cost Will be lese,
and you will pay less in interest, de-
probation, insurance and REPAIRS
and more for coal, the gain about
equalling the loss. You will make
no mistake, evidently. In selecting
either the Warrington engine OF
Glass A, or the Snow engine Of Glass
B, and the selection turns largely
upon whether 1t is entirely coIven'
lent to raise the larger amount Of
money for first cost, or whether y
is desirable to husband your resource
es and use the money in increasing
and improving the available supp'y
of water.
Should the quantity Of water used
increase as rapidly as 1t has during
the past four years, 1t would prove
wisetst to install the Snow engine.
am of the impression, however, thai
1t will be fair to estimate that your
consumption will reach six million
gallons daily in about ten years, and
, nine million gallons daily in twent!
years, because an increase of 80 pc
cent, each ten years provides for
rapid rate of growth.
