and have them send you ali 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
main troubles with our people is that
they have been slaves to what is pop
ularly called the "one crop" idea. We
all know that forever and day cot
ton 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 money crop. Raise first
your home supplies. You should con-
suit your land and consult with the
county farm demOnstrator and find
out just what food crops will grow
best on your land.
Every year, in South Carolina,
millions Of dollars are sent out of our
State in exchange for little cans and
packages from other States. These
cans contain foods, practically all of
whlch can be raised at home.
would suggest that each year you put
up as much canned vegetables, canned
fruits, and other foods in cans, as
possible. a big amount can be saved
in this manner. Take, for instance.
II YOU should move to town: When
ever your good wife wanted a 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 vege-
tables; there should be n small cane
patch to make your molasses; YOU
should plant burr clover and COW
peas; 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 opportunity
to man than any profession or trade
that | know of in the State, and I
would urge you, Mr.. Phillips, to re-
main on the farm, where you can be
and happy. Find that
country school and keep your chill
dren there just as long as possible. II
is fact that our rural districts dur
ing the past ten years have been de-
pleted Of a large majority Of a sturdy
people, which has caused a serious
setback to the people OF the entire
State. Our people must come to learn
that the basis of all prosperity for all
the people is a successful farming
class. Until we get most out of the
soil in this State and make more COM

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 10, 19l5.-
NJ. Turner Phillips. r. +. d. 2, Gaff-
ney, S. C.-Dear MIR. Phillips: | re-
ceivei your letter several days ago
and have given the question which
YOU propose careful and thoughtful
consideration. | appreciate your de-
sire for the educational advancement
Of your children, but there are some
matters which we must seriously con-
slider before taking the step you pro-
pose. In the outset ! must advise
YOU to remain on the farm if posi-
bic.
One Of the big problems of our
state at the present time is to make
farm life so profitable and so attract
i've that it will hold the people in the
country and stop the movement into
our crowded cities. You say you are
a small farmer and have not accu-
mulatcd much OF this worlds goods.
Years ago |, as a young man. was
that you are facing to-day. My choice
at that time was the farm. | believe
that, with The proper effort, more
money, more happiness, more con
tcntment 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 must 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 expenditure
! for clothing, and many Of the other
/ "XtravaG Gances 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 cam
not be found in the city.
South Carolina is making a con-
J. slant and wonderful stride in mat
. tors OF education and in improve
mcnts in methods Of farming. IT has
been my hope ard my ambition to see
the day when as good educational adj
Na"ta&cs are offered to the child Of
. The rural and mill communities as
are given 10 the children of our cities.
/ By this | mean good, sound. practical
! horsc-scnse education. without any
irills.
In your own county educational
! progress has been remarkable. If
! Won are not now living near good

10 cast about this fall and find a
piece Of land which you will be able
, TO cultivate successfully, that Is To-
