Success With Creamery.

Few enterprises in South Carolina,
public or private, have ever enjoyed
such rapid growth as that which the
cooperative creamery of Clemson
College has had in the few months
since 1t began operations. Its infu-
enco is being felt in all parts Of the
Piedmont and cream routes are be-
ing called for in neighborhood after
neighbOrhoOd, almost faster than the
three dairy field experts Of the col
lege can get about to arrange for
and establish the routes. State Agent
w. w. Long has expressed the belief
that this creamery plan will prove to
be one Of the most popular as well as
most beneficial steps that the gov
ernment and Clemson College have
ever taken for the farmers Of this
State. Every farmer having a sur
plus of dairy products, however
small, should inform himself Of the
details Of the plan.

Seneca, Feb. 3.-My Dear Uncle:
| have always been taught that if you
make your bed hard you should lie
on ii like a man. AS see the point,
we have made our beds hard; now
let's get busy turning the bed over
and stirring the straw. We will
find a place Of rest sooner or later.
We cannot figure out real things
on paper. and we cannot farm sue
'essfu!ly on paper, and it will not
do to plant in the moon and gather
your crop in Tennessee while YOU
live in South Carolina. We must
not blame the capitalist or the spec
ulatOr with things that we force
them to do. We all know We grow
too much cotton. We must grow
cotton in proportion to our capital.
We grow more cotton than We can
take care Of after we get it grown.
We dc not make too much cotton,
but we are not able to hold and mar
kCt it at the proper time. There
fore we must keep out of debt and
keep growing by Titles until we get
TO the place where we can grow cot
ton with our own money. When we
borrow money we pay from to II
per cent interest, and when we buy
any article we pay interest again, and
when we buy corn, wheat, oats and
flour we pay freight; and by the
time all these expenses come out we
have spent fifty cents OF the dollar.
or even more.
We must lay up in the years Of
plenty for the years Of famine. The
time has come when we must think
OF and look at things from business
standpoint. Pharaoh was the great
capitalist Of Egypt, and Pharaoh said
unto Joseph: See, | have set thee
over all the land of Egypt" and
Pharaoh took off his ring from his
hand and put it upon Joseph's hand
and arrayed him in vestures Of fine
linen, and put a gold chain about his
neck. And he made him to ride in
the second chariot which he had, and
they cried before him, Bow the knee; ;
and he made him ruler over all the
land Of Egypt. And Pharaoh said
unto Joseph, | am Pharaoh, and
without thee shall no man lift up his
hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
So we find that Joseph's sorrows

The farmer gets more out Of the

farmer it is education. Let US take

Of greatest interest. We will first

greatest thinkers.
You are now attending congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
q brief period while we live, but it
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm Of science and light torch Of
progress that will illuminate the path

hundreds Of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble it Is
to work for others; they have also
taught US lessons in economy and eff
cheney, how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives, multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back Of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
yentions have stood the acid test Of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men, they do not seek publicity, yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause Of their marvellous achieve
