Dear Mr.. Phillips:-I received
your letter several days ago and have
given the question which you pro-
| pose careful and thoughtful consid
Grafton. appreciate your desire for
the educational advancement of your
"h:liren, but there are some matters
which we must seriously consider be-
fore taking the step you propose In
the outset l must advise you to re-
main on the farm if possible.
One OF the big problems of our
state at the present time is to make
farm life so profitable and so attrac
tive that it will hold the people in
the country and stop the movement
ITO our crowded cities. You say
you are small farmer and have not
accumulated much of this worlds

was facing practically the same prob
am that you are facing today. MY
eve that with the proper effort
more money-more happiness
more contentment, is TO be found
among the men of South Carolina
who till the soil.
The city has many advantages to
offer and also many disadvantages.
You mnst consider. among other
things, the extra items of expense. In
YOUR farm home you have no electric
light bills, no coal bills. no high
monthly rentals. no extra expendi-
tire for clothing. and many of the
other eNtravagances that go to make
up the life OF our people in the cities;
on the other hand you have your fire
wood. you have your food crops.
your hogs. cattle and live stock, and
above all, you have that atmosphere
of freedom and independence that
cannot be found in the city
South Carolina is making con-
stant and wonderful stride in matters
OF education and in improvements i'm
methods of farming. It has been nv
hope and my ambition to see the day
when as good educational advant-
ages are offered to the child OF the
rural and mill communities as are
given to the children OF our cities.

farming methods, especially winter
cover crops so as to save expense in
fertilizer.
Write to the Clemson authorities
and have them send you all of their
bulletins. Study these bulletins:
study your soil and try to plant and
cultivate the crops that are best
suited to the conditions. One of the
'ain troubles with our people is that
they have been slaves to what is
popularly called the zone crop idea.
We all know that forever and dav
cotton must be our major crop; but
our soil is capable of producing the
very best of every kind of food crop.
You should not forsake cotton, but
you should use it as your velvet
crop-your extra MOI ~ crop. Raise
st your home supplies. You should
consult your land and consult with
the county demonstrator and find out
Just what food crops grow best on
your land.
Every year, in South Carolina
millions of dollars are sent out of our
tate in exchange for little cans and
packages from other states. These
cans contain foods, practically all OF
which can be raised at home. I
would suggest that each year you
put up as -'rch canned vegetables.
canned fruits and other foods in
cans. as possible; a big amount can
be saved in this manner. Take, for
instance. if you should move to
town: whenever your good wife
wanted can of tomatoes, ten cents
would have to be deposited at the
corner grocery store. You should
grow sweet potatoes. Irish potatoes
and all kinds OF vegetables; there
should be small cane patch to make
your molasses; you should plant burr
clover and cowpeas; you should
plant some vetch with your oats. and
in this manner you would help to
feed both your family and your live
stock and at the same time improve
your land.
The farm offers greater opportu
NIFTY to a man than any profession or
trade that l know OF IN the state. and
| would urge you, Mr. Phillips. to re-
main on the farm where YOU can be
contented and happy. Find that
country school and keep your chill
dren there just as long as possible.
1t is fact that our rural districts
during the past ten years have been
depleted of a large majority OF
sturdy people which has caused :,
serious setback to the people of the
entire state. Our people must come
to learn that the basis of all pros
perity for all the people is a success
ful farming class. Until we get most
out OF the soil in this state and make
more comfortable homes for our
wives and daughters. we cannot hope
to have the better things o' this life
and to keep our boys and girls on the
farm.
want to see more Of our white
tenants own homes; this is the most
important problem before us. j
trust that as our attention ard in
terest are centered in the solution of
this question, that we will ba able
'oon TO have a practicable working
plan by which the desired resul. can
be accomplished
would like for you to write me
from time to time as to Just what
progress you are making; write me
about any problem that may come up.

questions and you may command nv

Next year he hopes, with the aid OF
a Packard twelve, to reduce the time to
thirty hours or less. He drives purely
for the sport Of the thing. The only
regret he seemed 70 have was when NJ.
J. Bddlong, president OF the New York

tours were necessary.

YANKEES DROP
THREE PLAYERS
COttrell, McHale and Daley End
Their Careers with the
Donovan Clan.

The axe fell yesterday on three mem-
bers Of the Yankees. Harry Sparrow,
secretary of the club, announced last
night that Donovan had released Marty
McHale, Ensign Cottrell and Pete
Daley. McHale will go TO Montreal,
Cottrell is slated for Richmond and
Toronto is to get Pete Daley:
McHale came TO the Yankees from
Jersey City and last season pitched
fair ball. He has been far below form
this year Cottrell was taken on chiefly
because he was a left-hander and tho
team was without the services Of SIN
Gle southpaw. In his few starts he has
not proved particularly effective. Daley
came from the Athletics in exchange
for Jimmy Walsh. Although a star
PLAYER on the Pacific Coast, he was a
fearful disappointment in New York,
and never played even ordinarily good
ball.
on top of these announcements
rumor came from Detroit that Jennings
in an effort 70 get his team up 20 pen
nant winning strength, had made al
offer of $4,000 for Ray Caldwell IL Is
highly improbable that the Yankees
will part with so valuable a player at
any price.
