COUNTY TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION

The next meeting of the County
Teachers Association, and the last
meeting for this session, will be
held in the Court House, Saturday,
April 3rd.
Az eleven o'clock a business meet
ing will be held to make final ar
rangements for Field Day. All
communities are requested to be
present and teachers also.
At twelve o'clock, State Super
intendent of Education, J. Z. Swear
ingen, will address the teachers
Immediately after this address,
the county teachers will be guests of
the city teachers at luncheon in the
court room.
This being the last meeting of
the present school year, every tea
cher is urged to be present.
The prospects for great Field
Day grow brighter. We are in
formed that many schools are max
ing preparations for the day. Moth
ing will develop more interest in
education, will arouse your COM
munity quinker, nor quicken the
ambition of the school children
more than an active part by your
school.
1t was the opinion of the teachers
present at the State Teachers Asso-
citation last week, that Field Day is
one of the strongest forces for edu-
cational advancement.
Be present with your full school,
with good exhibit, with your school
songs, yells, banners, float, trus-
tees, parents and all the people in
your community. A great day is
ia store for tie boys and girls of
the county, and on the teacher
rests the responsibility as to wheth-
er or not your boys and girls will be
in line. You, as teacher, cannot
afford to be absent and lose the in
spiration of the day nor to rob your
pupils of a good time by not bring
ing your school. R. B. Cheatham,
Pres. A. C. TIA.

Cameron Johnson's Travel Talks

Great crowds filled the Presby-
terian church Sunday and Monday
nights to hear the Travel Talks by
Mr.. Cameron Johnson. We travel
ed with him over Palestine, and
India. The pictures are more
beautiful than any ever exhibited
before in Abbeville, either relig-
ious or secular. Most of them are
artistically colored by the lecturer
himself, and most of them were
taken by him from the objects them
selves as he travelled through the
East.
No one can afford to miss any
of the remaining ones.

scientific FARMER
Mr. r. C. White Raises Fine Cattle
For Market.

We went out the other afternoon
with Col. T. G. White to inspect his
farm, which is four miles below
-1oxn. Col. White is first class
merchant and business man, but
I'VE have been told that he belonged
Ito the farmers of the rubbertlre
species. After looking over the
farm. however, we nave about
reached the conclusion that he IS
real farmer, and entitled to give
Men.
The farm is the one purchased
Inv MIR. White from A. w. Smith
some years ago. We had not
been down that way in some years,
and were surprised at the many I'M
-uroyements made on the place. Tie
houses have been repaired, aid
-whitewashed recently; two new
barns have been erecrad, and the
Sand has been turned un'ita Gown
with two-horse pIpws until it looks
like a "plantation."
A great deal of the land is III
.. oats, and considerable quantity
of land is now being prepared :"r
corn. Mr.. White will reduce his
cotton crop this year. The crops
are not only diversified, but the
same crop is not planted in any two
years on the same lands. That
which is now in oats will be plant
ed in peas as soon as the oats are
cut, and then the same will be turn
led for either a corn or cotton crop
next year. In this way the lands
are greatly enriched. They are
= already showing the benefits aris-
Ing from this scientific handling.
, but what interested US most was
the great herd Of cattle in the pas
lure. We went down into the pas
.ture and saw the negroes drive
them up the long lane to the cattle
barn. Mr.. White has some blood
led beef cattle in the lot, two fine
white faced Hereford bulls and a
number of jersey and scub cows.
From these he expecss to raise a
Nerd of beef cattle. He has a
number of white faced Hereford
calves now. These calves he is
raising and he will continue to raise
. others until he can offer them on
Ehe market in large enough num-
abers to command good price.
In the evening all these cattle
are driven up to the cattle barn
and fed in large sheds running the
whole length of the barn. The bin
from which they eat is in the mid
. die of the shed running lengtnwise.
The cattle all eat from this long
bin, there being some thirty or more
to the side. 1t is very interesting
to see them eating, all together, and
iit is worth while to go out to the
farm for this purpose alone. The
real reason for bringing the cattle
up at night, however, is to save the
barnyard manure for the lands. We
were shown in one of the long stalls
where this manure was kept last
year, and from the size of the stall
land the height to which the pile
grew, it must have been worth many
tons of fertilizer.
A few farmers like Mr.. White
in each community, would soon
demonstrate the fact that we are
not dependent upon cotton for a
living on the farms of this section.
They would teach US the lesson too
that much better fertilizers for the
land may be saved at home than can
be bought abroad, and that the real
profit of the farm comes from car
ii ing for and improving the lands by
deep blowing in fall and spring, and
proper rotation and diversified
Etian of crops.

READ LITERATURE
 AND CAME ID SEE

David Armstrong, who resided at 1O720 Massee avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, was so well pleased with the hand some literature that was sent him by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce month or so ago that he could not resist the temptation to come and see the valley for himself. and so the other day he and his family arrived in the city for the purpose of spend ing the winter.
 He is well pleased with the city and especially so with the well paved streets and the handsome electric lights in the business section of the town, and in his opinion the litera ture sent out from here by the vari- Ous civic bodies does not begin to tell of the beauties of the valley and the city. MT. Armstrong is To- cated for the winter at the corner of Washington street and Thirteenth avenue.

Reclamation Official Talked Salt River Project Twice Daily During Pana-

c. J. Blanchard, statistician for the reclamation service is in Phoenix. Recently C. J. Blanchard has been demonstrating one of the useful phases of his department.
 For several months, twice daily, this man has addressed throngs at the Panama Pacific exposition in San Francisco, his subject, the reclamation service, and the the work it is doing to upbuild the west. Naturally, q good deal of his attention has been paid to the Salt River project, the oldest. first completely operated, and one of the most successful. With motion pictures and slides he has illustrated his re- marks.
 The movie that Romaine Fielding made of the high water celebration in April, was used every day. along with several that the bureau of statistics made for itself. Scores of fine slides. depicting pastoral scenes amid the desert, have added to the lecture an other interest.
 Results? Surely. MT. Blanchard can name over dozens who have come to Phoenix as a result of the series of talks, and others are coming
