Good of the Order.
(From Wednesdays Daily.

The adoption Of q resolution from +.
G. Stribbling, chairman Of the COM
mittee for the good of the order. An
derson County Farmers Union, was
the principal matter Of interes, tran
sacted yesterday at the regular meet
Ing OF the organization which was
held at ii o'clock in the county court
house.
The resolution in full is as follows:
"Pendleton, S. c., Jan. 12, 1916.
FROM, j. c. Stribbling, Chairman Com
mittee Coed Of the Order. Anderson
County Farmers Union.
The first Is that the time is ripe
now to convert the old man that pro-
gressive farming along this line is
profitable. pleasant and improves his
lands every day In the year. and when
the father Is converted, 1t Is easy
then to get him to aid his son along
this new line. r.i...
there is nothing that would add more
to the assets of our county and State
than to feed to stock and poultry, the
Thousands Of acres of grass that goes
to waste each year right, at the doors
or the cotton farmer that purchase the
very same food which is made from
grass In other places. In radius Of
five m:,es OF Pcndleton, there is more
than three thousand acres OF Bermu-
da and other grasseE and indigenous
clovers that arr only partially until:
lied for stock and there are numbers
Of other sections in our State in the
same class. 81 So
In reply to several inquiries as to
the. best cure for the very sick cotton
grower. will say that after more than
80 years experience On the stock, dairy
and poultry business, that there Is
no branch Of the farming interests
In South Carolina" that offers q more
profitable business and permanent Inn
provement to our lands than the live
stock, dairy and poultry business, In
all these years Of close attention to
and observation in this business, II
am convinced that nine-tenths Of the
failures In this BUSINESS come from
the lack Of proper knowledge Of what
constitute balance rations, for milk,
eggs young stock and poultry and
the marketing OF all these products
And since Clemson College and oul
State and nation has, snow taken these
very important features up in CO.
operative way with farmers, I consider
this as, the best work that Clemson
ithS oSef uouc ioE tuc AhNmox AoI many
reasons.
In our early dayssin the dairy and
stock business, We had to guess at
what were proper ratioas for milk
lor growing cattle and also. what COW
did not pay her keep. but now Glenn
son College stands ready with years
OF experience Behind things to tell US
In o few moments the facts all along
the many places where we have lost
money aud our patience, that caused
many to lc"e faith and courage and
lsay. that ath Carolina Is not a stock
country, which is the fact. but 1t Is
not because OF the soil and climate,
but because our people have not given
stock growing the same attention they
have given cotton. II the same In
|terest and financial backing Which has
been given cotton Is given stock grow
ling, It. will be proven that the Pied
mont region OF the State is better
adapted to stock and poultry than cot
