ion. Science and brains skilfully
applied to farming SO increase the
Yield and Improve its quality as to
make some knowledge of the under
lying principles of scientific farming
essential to the farmer of TODAY.
While IL is realized that the four
years course is none too long to give
boy the foundation, which will in
sure success in farming, it is also
clearly seen that there are many
practical farmers who have neither
the time nor the means to devote
four years 10 a college course and
VINO would be greatly benefited by a
few weeks spent at college. TO meet
such a demand the College offers a
short course of four weeks during the
month Of January. This course in

Experiment station grounds; the Col
lege farm; the Horticultural plant;
the various laboratories Of the Agri-
cultural Department.; and the general
libraries. They are also invited to
take part i'm any student activities in
which they care to engage. January
3rd, 1913 inaugurates the beginning
OF the third session for short course
students. The first two years of
this course proved unusually success
full. All who have taken the short
course agree that it has. paid them
many fold.

Some Random Thoughts.

Today | have been in consultation
with the Plant Breeders Association
of the State in effecting Il permanent
organization, and with Secretary
Stevenson OF the National Corn show
to have a Farmers MON day during
the corn show. We have agreed upon
a day and tomorrow at Raleigh | will
submit it to President Barrett ana
Secretary Davis of the National Union.
We want to pull off the biggest
FARMERS Union rally ever held in
South Carolina. The reports COM
ing in to Bro. Reid's office today in
dicate that politics have subsided and
our people are turning to the Farm
ers Union again. l do hope that
Sumter County will take a good stand
toward the front, aud if our people
and the loyal members will respond
to Bro. Williams efforts Sumter
County Union will double it's strength
by February.

The remarks of Mr.. d. Il. Coker
who was unanimously elected Presi-
dent of the Plant Breeders Associa-
tion, about the condition of the extra
staple cotton market, and need Of the,
Farmers Union We're very appro-
pirate. | wish that stenographic
report could be given of what he said
1t would he an eye opener to some
people. He said among other per-
tlnent remarks: Il have doubted
the wisdom Of calling upon the gov
ernment to aid us in marketing, but
conditions in the extra staple bust
ness have about convinced me that
the Farmers Union warehouse bill
is along right lines. and | hope may
be found constitutional"
These two working together, the
plant breeders for standard types of
the best crops and the Farmers Union
for marketing standardized crops in
a business-like way, will make a
team that will bring results Watch
them. and fellow farmers join us in
these good works.

To Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste of the system becomes more rapid than re- pair, the organs act more slowly and less effectually than in youth, the cir culation is poor, the blood thin and digestion weak.
 vinoi, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic without oil. is the ideal strengthener and body-builder for old folks, for it contains the very ele- ments needed to rebuild wasting tis- sues and replace weakness with strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys- tenn against colds and thus prevents pneumonia.
 A grandneice of Alexander Hamil- ton. over eighty years of age, once remarked: "vinol is a godsend to old people. Thanks to Vinol, I have a hearty appetite. sleep soundly. feel active and we'll It is the finest tonic and strength-creator I have ever used"
 If vinol fails to build up the feeble old people. and create strength. we will return your money.
