Gardiner was more prolific as to err

Hen. A. G. Latimer, Belton, S. G.
Dear Sir have the honor to ac
knowledge your favor Of September
i, transmitting a letter to you from
NIT. E. I. Reardon, secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce of Sumter, S.
C. I am pleased to learn that the
people of your State are seriously
considering the need Of Improvements
$50 important to agriculture as drain
age and roads. This department,
through Office of Experiment Sta
fions, made a careful examination Of
some Of the features Of the drainage
problems in your State during last
year, especially those related to the
Improvement of the lands Of the
tidal rivers. The Office now has a
party of engineers in the field, With
necessary assistants, making a survey
for the purpose Of developing plans
for the drainage of a portion OF Char
iesten county. These plans when
prepared will be carried out by a
commission of that county, which has
received its authority to construct
drains through a special act of the
legislature. The work contemplated
for the State during the present ye2l
win probably absorb all Of the ap-
preparation set aside for drainage in
vo,r state. I recognize the importance
of the work asked for by the citizens
OF sumter county, and desire to assist
the people of that enterprising sec
ton of the state in promoting land
improvements in every way practi-
cable.
For the purpose of becoming NOR
eonversant with the situation. th'
Office Will send representative t
sumter county as early as practi
cable to make preliminary investl
cation of the field and ascertain VIVA
steps should be first taken to inausu
rate the drainage desired.
Respectfully,

sumter and Lee Counties to Have

6s of Farmers.

South Carolina is getting the bene-
Mt of a good deal Of attention from
4he department Of agriculture this
wear. Already there is q corps OF
three engineers in, Charleston looking
To draining Thousands Of acres OF
swamp land in that county. And
now thev are soon to turn their at
tendon to Sumter county and Lee.
OF course, here their work will be
along entirely different lines. There
are swamp in both counties to De
sure, but the most part they SKIRT
the river, and being below high wa
ter mark could not be drained TO
GOOD effect without building enor-
NOUS dykes to garrison, as it We're
fhe reclaimed territory.
But there is still abundant field for
fhe services of the engineers. They
win draw up minute maps of the sur
vevnd section and have an elaborate
annend;x thereto. This appendix will
give the geological history of the va
rIo1.s soils and a scientific analysis Of
each township. BY means Of this,
farmer, without having taker de-
gree at an agricultural college, can
now certainly what crop will yield
the best results ON a given piece OF
land and what combination of fertil-
izers his land requires to bring it up
TO par.
It is a valuable work about to be
done-the survey begins in Noven-
ser-and will in many respects stand
IN place Of a scientific education for
the farmers. They will now be for
varying their crops and rotation can
be followed with better results.
Senator Latimer and the Hon. A. F,
Lever have both been working TO this
end and deserve credit for their
prompt success. Mr.. Lever is. one Of
the prominently Democratic members
of the House Committee on Agricui-
ture, and it was his standing in that
