Farmers Institutes. ,
Two farmers institutes were held in
York, county this week, the first on
Monday at Mr.. w. s. Wilkersons farm
on Hickory Grove No. i, and was at
tended by about $50 farmers; the sec
ond institute was held at DR.. II. N.
Dulin's in Bethel, and the attendance
was about 100. From every standpoint
the Institutes were a success. Tnere
were five speakers in the institute par
ty and ali of them are thoroughly
practical men, Mr.. P. N. Lott OF Edge
field county, confined his remarks to
soil building the process of soil I'M
provement, and it's benefits to the far
mer. He emphasized the Importance OF
the legume crops, especially the clo-
vers and the Vetches. He explained how
he had built up land by the use OF
vetch to production OF 1900 POUNDS
seed cotton per acre from only 4OO
pounds per acre. He also stated that
ANALYSIS showed that vetch hay had
six times as much nutriment in 1t as
corn fodder Mr.. Jno. d. w. Watts, OF
/ aurens county, spoke on the subject
of live stock growing, and gave his per-
sonal experiences in this line OF farm
industry. He stated that most farm
live stock, especially dairy cows. hogs,
and sheep were kept at loss. where
the farmer depended on cotton seed
hulls, meal and grains for feed: ne
went further. however. and said live
stock could be raised on the farms at
profit to the farmer by the growing
of hay and green crops. Mr.. w. II.
Barton, district agent of the cooper
ative demonstration work, pointed out
how many farmers were depicting the
fertility of their soils by taking every
thing from the soil and putting moth
ing back except in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers, and said South
Carolina farmers would never reach
the right level of prosperity until they
discontinued the eXtravagant use OF
fertilizers Such methods are like the
man who feeds his horse three pounds
of wheat straw and hand full of con-
dition powders, and expects the animal
10 do full work and thrive on such a
ration. He said that the all impor-
tant need of the soil is humus, and If
he had to make a speech Of thousand
words to farmers using only one word,
that word would be "humus." Mr.. Bar
ton also stated that five schools in
each county are to be given seeds for
small demonstration farms. especially
along the lines of rotation. soil build
ing and cover crops. Mr.. o. M. Clark
professor of horticulture at Clemson
college, gave a practical talk on fruits
especially as To pruning, spraying
cultivation. etc. Mr. w. p. Stewart de-
voted his remarks to poultry raising
