Wednesday afternoon, taking
place at the country home of
the BRIDES mother, Mrs. Bette

The parlor where the cere-

in Its decorations of Southern

bower Of ferns and smilax, was
fashioned Of rustic logs inter
twined with bamboo among
which many tapers were burn
ing brightly. On either side of

FARMERS INSTITUTES
FOR PICKENS COUNTY

Dear Mr.. Editor: There will
be held in your county farmers
institutes OH the following dates
and at the following places;
J. w. Hendricks, Pickens route
4, August 9Th; II. II. O'Dell's
Liberty route 3, August 9th.
There will be present practical
farmers in the demonstration
work. and experts from Clemson
College to address the farmers
on subjects relating to their
every day work on the farm.
These institutes are held in the
interest of the farmers. The sal
aries and expenses Of these men
are paid by the tax payers of
the State, and the farmers owe
it to themselves to attend these
meetings, and derive all the
benefit possible from hearing the
lecturers. These men are public
servants, anxious to serve the
farmers. 1t is no easy task to
travel from county to county,
day after day and deliver ad-
dresses, and to meet hundreds
of people, Therefore these men
are entitled to be encouraged
when they are e,deavoring to
perform a public service that is
filled with SO much promise, pro
vided that the farmers will sim
Ply cooperate by attending the
meeting, and seek information
by asking questions that will be
cheerfully and gladly answered
by all the lecturers. It is graft
flying to know that the prejudice
that was once held by the far
mers against scientific men is
passing away, All Of the great
discoveries that have been made
in the interest of agriculture we
owe to'Scientific men. It was
the scietific man who discovered
that leguminous crops arc able
to take nitrogen from the air and
deposit it in soil, and save the
farmer the most costly of all
fertilizer ingredients; it was
tn scientific man who made it
possible for us to overcome to a
large degree the ravages of hog
cholera by the use of hog cholera
serum; it was the scientific man
who enabled us to secure a seed
corn that would give greater
yield per acre, by reason OF care
full selection and breeding; it is
to the entomologist and plant
pathologist that we go when
insects and plant diseases are
destroying our crops; it was sci
entific men who invented and
manufactured all improved i'm
plement for the preparation and
cultivation of the soil and the
harvesting Of the crop. Surely,
when we realize these facts, we
must respect and be willing to
heed the instructions of these
students of plants and soil. Sol
plead with the farmers of South
Carolina to.attend these meet
ings.
Respectfully,
w. w. Long
