Its Cotton Plantations Capable of Pro-
ducinu MANY Other Crofs.


Its Cotton Plantations Capable Of Pro-
ducing Many Other Crops.
1t Is said to be the opinion Of the
agricultural department that DIVERSE
fed farming has come to stay in the
cotton region. although II. still has OBJ
stacles to overcome.
w. ]. spillman, VINO mas charge Of
farm management investigation for
the department Of agriculture, re-
marks that the people of the south
generally recognize the desirability Of
growing other crops besides cotton,
but with many 1t Is not q simple
matter.
"Tn the old days" said Mr.. Spill
man, '.when the soil was not exhaust
ed, the demand for cotton exceeded
the supply, and the cultivation Of the
staple was Immensely profitable.
Consequently a single crop system OF
farming developed. Furthermore,
cotton Is an easy crop to grow.
Many OF the laborers adapted TO its
cultivation are incapable of the prop
er management of dairy cows and
other classes Of live stock. There
fore, for several generations the la
Dor Of the south was trained to grow
cotton and today naturally objects to
innovations. 1t is necessary there
fore, to train the available labor In
entirely new channels"
Mr.. sDillman says the greatest d.
sideratum in the diversihcation Of
farm products in the south is the de-
velopment of live stock farming. This
would give much greater stability to
agricultural Industries. 1t helps to
supply extensive home markets and
thus keeps money at home. and at
the same time would add greatly to
the fertility of the soil, thus increas-

A Farmer Calls For an Investigation
of the Whole Situation.
To the Editor of The State:
With your permission, I desire
through the columns Of The State to
express my views on some OF the
topics of the day, and especially to
thank Mr.. McMahan for his speech
at Greenville, or so much Of 1t as re-
lates TO Clemson college.
1t was my privilege (and I had
hoped my pleasure) with my young
est SON to attend the farmers insti-
tute at Clemson college three weeks
ago. 1t was anything but pleasure for
I assure you the treatment the visit
ors received at the hands Of Glenn
son college was a downright insult,
and the accommodations were dis
grace to the dignity Of South Caro-
lima. While fare was very poor In
deed, 1 would not, and do not believe
any one else would have complained
about 1t publicly, but the fare was a
small item In the treatment we re-
ceived.
In the first place, the barracks or
rooms they gave US to sleep in were
dirty, dusty and mouldy, with an un-
healthy smell about them. Neither
was that all. Every room I went in
was completely possessed with
chinches or bed-bugs, as some call
them. My son and myself, together
with a number of other gentlemen.
spent the night in the Bermuda
grass under the magnolia tree just
In front of the barracks.
Abe chief topic Of conversation
during the lay was bed-bugs. We
did not stay bur one night. We
would have gone to the hotel, but
there was no room there.
Nor is that all. Those in charge
of Clemson college paid very little
attention to the visitors. Very few of
them showed their faces; they were
either away from home or kept them
selves In doors I must say that /
