LETTER SENT OUT BY STATE

COOPERATION BEING URGED
The Schools and Colleges Of the State

Shown Importance. iat

Columbia.-Letters urging a careful
study of the question Of marketing
crops has been sent out to all OF the
schools and colleges of the state by
E. w. Dabbs, the president Of the
South Carolina state farmers union.
In his letter President Dabbs points

The following letter has been sent
out to the colleges of the state: a
ITO the colleges of South Carolina:
Allow me as the head of the Farmers
Union to request you to take up &C.
lively the study Of marketing, espe-
cially as applied to farm produce.
There is, something wrong in our
system of political economy when so
mucn stress is laid on the subject of
production and so little attention Is
given to distribution. l believe that
1t is a hopeful sign of the times that
these subjects~of farm finance and
credit and farm marketing occupy SO
much OF the public mind-the minds
OF the men who are shaping the desti.
MES of the human race. l. am sure
that you who are training the youth
of our country will bond your best
energies to help us just as o az
20 urealize how much we need your
help. It has been my desire, and 1t
meets with the approval of the ex-
ecutive committee of the state Farm
ers' Union, to present this matter in
person to your faculties and students,
but, owing to the stress of farm work
and on account of the lateness Of
the season., l take this method of en-
listing your help, trusting that you
will not wait for me to present this
matter in person. ( ~ &8

Men of Letters Often Have Described
Best That Which They Never
Have Experienced.

Finally. a mar of genius. when he
writes a book, and 'all the good

abnormal state, and hence, the lives OF
men of letters have often been in glar'
ing contrast to their writings. o

served ~super-celestial opinions to be
accompanied with s~ubterranean NOR
ais; on the other hand. the most latl'
tudinarian professors Of ~epicureanism
have often lived like anchorltes or
trappists. Some of the best sea songs
have been written by men who never
snuffed a salt water breeze; stirring
war songs have been written by timld
men and women who would have
shrieked at the sight Of a mouse; n
hymns stepped in the very spirit OF
devotion have been written by men OF
doubtful morality. who were never
less at home than in a Christian
church. Charles Lamb was ready to
wager that Millions morning hymn IN
