SESSION YESTERDAY
Adopt Important Resolution From
Chairman of Committee for
Good Of the Order.

| The adoption OF resolution from J.
Z. Stribbling. chairman OF the com.
mittee for the good of the order. An.
derscn County Farmers Union, was
the principal matter OF interest tran
sacted yesterday at the regular meet
Ing OF the organization which was
held at IL o'clock in the county court
house.
The resolution in full is as follows .
'Pendleton. S. c.. Jan. IL, 1915.
From ]. c. Stribbling. Chairman Com
mittee Good OF the Order, Anderson
County Farmers Union.
The frat Is that the time Is ripe
now to convert the old man that pro-
5ressive farming along this line is
prohteoie, pleasant and improves his
lands every day in the year. and when
the rather Is converted. 1t Is easy
tnen 10 get him to aid his son along
this new line.
AS to our undevetoped resources,
there Is nothing that would add more
10 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
of the cotton farmer that purchase the
very same food which is made from
grass In other places. In q radius of
five miles OF Pendleton. there is more
than three thousand acres of Bermu-
"a ana other grasses and Indigenous
ciovers that are only partially until
lied for stock and there are numbers
OF other sections in our State In the
same class.
In reply to several inquiries as to
the best cure for the very sick cotton
grower. will say that after more than
4o years experience in the stock, dairy
and poultry L:siness, that there is
no branch OF the farming interests
in South Carolina that offers a more
profitable business and permanent i'm
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,
am convinced that ni4e-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 our
State and nation has now taken these
very important features up in q CO.
Operative way with farmers, consider
this as the best work THAT Clemson
has ever done for the farmer for many
reasons H.
In our early days In the dairy and
stock business, we had to guess at
what were proper rations for milk
or growing cattle andaalso what COW
did not pay her keep. but now Glenn
son College stands ready with years
Of experience behind things to tell us
in a few moments the facts all along
the many places where we have lost
money and our patience, that caused
many to lose faith and courage and
say that Sonth Carolina is not e stock
country, which is the fact, but It is
not because OF the sell and climate,
but because our people have not given
stock growing the same attention they
have given cotton. ~ IL the same in
terest and financial backing which has
been given cotton is given stock grow
ing, It will be proven that the Pied
mont region of the State is better
adapted to stock and poultry than cot
ton. l.
Unanimously adopted by Anderson
County Union, this January IL, 1915.
