FARMERS MEET AT ANDERSON.
State Farmers Union Pays Visit to
Agricultural College.

Anderson. July 23.-After leng-
thy business session tonight the con-
vention of the State Farmers Union
came to a close. Officers were elect
ed as follows: E. W. DabbS, Sumter
county. president; ]. B. Whetsell,
Dorchester county, vice president,
and J. Whitner Reid. Richland coun-
ty, secretary and treasurer. j. w.
Shealey, of Lexington county, was
elected member of the executive COM
mittee for a term of three years. E.
W. Dabbs was chosen delegate to the
national union, j. W. Shealey and G.
P. Moorer being alternates.
Bids for the next State convention
were resolved from six places: Co.
lumbia, Sumter, Lexington, Isle OF
Palms, Rock Hill and Clemson COL
lege. Selection was left to the ex-
ecutive committee.
Resolutions were adopted asking
congress and the State legislature to
build and maintain better public
highways, thereby relieving the far
mers from the economic burden now
being borne by them.
Another resolution authorized the
president and executive committee to
effect ARRANGEMENTS by which various
unions of the State may purchase
their fertilizers direct from the man
ufacturers at first cost.
Congress is asked in another res
olution to speedily enact legislation
looking toward the early reclamation
of the lowlands of the nation in order
that some of the best land can be till
ed and in order that the menace to
public health may be removed.
The practice of retail and whole
sale dealers in meats of watering salt
meats should stop, according to a res
olution asking congress and the leg
islature to enact the necessary legls-
lation. The farmers declare they OBJ
ject to paying for water at the rate
per pound paid for salt meats.
The members OF the Union unanl-
mously adopted a resolution extend
ing sincere appreciation to Congress-
man Lever for his successful efforts
in behalf of the Lever bill, the provis-
ions of which so profoundly affect
the agricultural Development of the
State and nation"
One hundred and sixty delegates
and visiting members of the Union
went in autos to Clemson college to-
day to be the guests of President
Riggs. They were royalty entertain
ed at dinner and were given an op-
portunity of inspecting the college
plant and everything connected with
the institution. The farmers deciar-
ed that the day was most pleasantly
and profitably spent.

HOW TO HAVE VEGETABLES.
Clemson Horticulturist Tells How Ev-
ery Farm Can Have Good Garden.

Clemson College, July 29.-Get
ready to plant that fall garden now.
There is no feature of the farm that
is as much neglected at this season
of the year and later as is the gar
den, says c. F. Niven, assistant hor-
ticulturist of Clemson college. Prac-
ticaily every farmer has an early gar
den, but from now on, in the major
ity of cases, the garden is turned
into a calf pasture. Fresh vegeta-
bles can be had on the farm at this
season just as easily, and all through
the fall, as at any other season, pro-
vided a little more attention is given
to the garden.
Prepare the soil, advises Prof. Niv-
en-, and plant any of the common veg
etables, such as beans, peas, beets,
mustard, turnips, cucumbers, etc.
Good tomatoes can be produced this
fall by sowing seed now and pushing
the plants along.
1t is necessary to exercise little
more care in sowing small seed now
than in the spring in order to get
good stand. This is due to the fact
that the soil does not contain suffi-
cient moisture at times to enable the
seed to germinate. To overcome this
the soil should be pulverized as finely
as possible. and when the seed are
sown the dirt must be pressed firmly
around them. This helps to hold the
moisture in direct contact with the
seed.
A good method is to SOW seed in
hollow drills, and, before covering, to
run a wheelbarrow along the drill
twice. This presses the soil firmly
about the seed. After this is done,
cover lightly with a little fine earth.
If this method is followed, unless the
soil is very dry, there will be no
trouble about the seed not germinat-
ing.
Start the fall garden now and lit
tie later, put in the winter garden.

Jessups men. Then it turned sharp

fight was over. Riall retreated to
fortified position which Scott dared
not attack. The British baggage,
wounded and some ammunitions fell
into the Americans hands.
