MayCsviIlc Meeting Success.

The party Of grain experts was ac-
companied to Mayesvlle by Vice Pres
ident II. b. Belser and Secretary
Reardon Of the Sumter Chamber of
Commerce. About 75 farmers and
business men were assembled here al
3 o'clock, the hour appointed for the
meeting. AS the speakers did not get
to Mayesville until after o'clock
many Of the farmers had left. How
ever, between 40 and so farmers and
business men attended the meeting at
the up-to-date brick school building.
Secretary Reardon presided by re-
quest and, after short talk explain
ing the object Of the meeting, he
introduced Prof. Barton Of the farm
extension work department of
Clemson College as the first. speaker.
Commissioner Watson followed Prof
Barton. Both speakers followed the
same interesting and instructive line
of arguments that they advanced al
the Sumter meeting. Many questions
were asked by the farmers.
Alessrs. Smith and Stratton did not
make speeches, but answered many
questions regarding grain planting
elevator and roller mill costs, plans
etc.
Commissioner Watson and his party
left for Bishopville about 6 o'clock
from Mayesville. They expressed them
selves as we'll pleased with the re-
ccptions given them in this county
and in the interest manifested by the
farmers and business men they had
meet during the day. Considering
the short notices Of the meeting Com
missioner Watson said that "the Old
Gamccock City and county had done
things up in fine shape as Sumter
county always does things" If ever!
county in South Carolina comes to the
front like Sumter county did today, We
are assured Of big grain crop and
the adoption Of the live at home
methods on the farm and q new era
of agricultural and commercial pros
perity in South Carolina"
The party stopped at Bishopville fol
the night, and continued their tril
through Lee county today.

II year and the cabbage bill is amaz-
ing.
Mr. Watson argued that the same
thing that was true OF Columbia was
true of all the other cities and towns
III South Carolina, and even the coun-
try districts.
lie stated that some seemed to feal
that there would be no market fOl
grain, if they planted it, He said
That for this year Europe offered a
great demand that had to be filled
from America. The Canadian wheat
crop had failed. The French wheat
crop had been trampled under foot OF
not gathered. The corn crop i'm Aus
the biggest European
corn producing State was small this
year and there were few men left al
home to gather it, Little would be
grown by the women next year. The
Australian wheat crop had already
'N\H oi'-uiiNN, VI SolN. he cOutll
was the only place on the globe where
q grain crop could be grown in winter
and be ready for market by early
summer. The European demand
would be much larger than the sup
ply. He advised the total elimina-
ton of cotton for this year and the
substituting Of grain in its place, next
year when fall came, conditions might
be changed and there might again be
4 demand for cotton which guaranteed
it's being raised at Il profit. He hoped
that If cotton went up, it would not go
up in time to allow the farmers to
plant it next spring. Tie European
war had done something for the
Southern farmer; it had for the first
time in the history Of the country
made the government recognize cotton
rs u basis for loans.
He closed with an earnest plea for
the farmers to live at home" and to
