Alfalfa Association.

The midsummer meetings of the
Yorkville Alfalfa Growers association
was held in the court house on yes
terday. This was the first meeting
since June 4, when the association
was organized. There were forty-hve
present, including farmers from va
rious sections of York county and
several from Chester and each one
seemed to be deeply impressed with
what was said.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. n. 5. Black, president, who an
nounced that it would be addressed by
Mr.. a. G.. Smith, who has charge OF
the alfalfa propaganda in South Car

beginning his talk, Mr.. Smith eX-
planned that in view Of the fact that
there were many present who were
not at the organization meeting, he
would necessarily be obliged TO cover
much Of the ground which he had
gone over at the original meeting,

$2,OOO to comfort and an annual in
come of $4,000 for 1913 in four years
'line as a result Of applied methods
OF modern farming. The table of
what he raised in the four years is
of interest
In 1903 Sparks raised on a two
horse farm, about 40 acres, only five
bushels of corn and eight bales of
cotton, a. fifth Of bale to the acre.
In the following year he began to
learn and increased his crop to $50
bushels of corn and 16 bales Of cot
ton, and in 1911 his yield was 300
bushels of corn and 27 bales of cot
ton. The next year he neglected his
crop, but in 1913, this year, he came
back greater than any pitching recruit
OF the big leagues. His crop this year
VIII amount in money to $2,98S, at
the lowest estimate, and may run to
$500. He owed $4,000 to the banks
for advance money in 1903; he has
PAID 1T all back, and this year will
carry bank account with which to
commence buying lands for himself
His story as he told it to the party
of South Carolina farmers and
bankers who visited the PLANTATION was
as follows:
Captain, / am going to get 35
bales this year and maybe 40. My 81
bales will be worth $1,75O and the
