The morning trains on the Coast
Line and Seaboard and ID cars
brought some fifty or more of the
Hartsivlle, August 80, to study at
first hand, scientific plant-breeding as
conducted by Messrs. David II. and S.
ressly Coker
The first number on the program
was to show the visitors the plant
to-row cotton tests where a number
of the best varieties OF cotton are
grown under like conditions of soil,
fertilizer, space and culture, and ac-
curate accounts of maturity, yield,
and staple are carefully recorded.
This was very instructive field lee
lture.
The next was the assignment of
visitors to the hospitable home of
Hartsville, an ante-bellum village OF
comfortable homes of the Harts,
Laws, Cookers, and others, beautifully
located on the winding public road
with Black Creek a few hundred
yards to the rear. Hartsville under
the magic touch of Maj. ]. l.. Coker,
has grown into model town with
waterworks, sewerage, department
stores. cotton, oil, paper, and novelty
factories. A fine graded school, Coker
College for women, with one of the
most complete dormitory, kitchen,
dining room and auditorium equip
ment in the South and S46O,OOO en-
dowment. the gift of Major Coker.
But its most notable achievement is
that 1t is the best staple cotton mar
ket in the South. Here the farmer
can get the full value of his staple
cotton every day in the year-and
the days of shipping staple cotton to
Boston or Charleston and waiting
months for a sale are like the stage
coach, phantom of the past.
This is the work OF David r. Coker
and grew out of experiments in i'm
proving the staple of cotton started
| by DR.. Webber with Mr. Coker doing
the field work He soon found that it
was useless to have farmers grow \
better cotton when they could not
sell it for anything like its worth.
Then he started out to find markets
Tor the staple cotton, and his work
in this line is even more notable and
OF more benefit to the farmers of this
section than the great Improvement
in staple, yield and vigor of growth
that he and his able coadjutator. Mr..
Pressly Coker, have brought about in
the cotton itself.
! Finding that a successful market
could not be built up with mixed cot
tons Mr.. Coker called a meeting in
Columbia three years ago of all who
are interested in better crops and bet
ter sales. This was exactly what the
Farmers Union was working for.
and its officials heartily Joined in the
movement and are charter members
OF the South Carolina Plant-breeders'
Association. Some of us are not
plant-breeders, but we recognize the
value of high-graue seed and OF
Standardization. and with renewal
OF pedigree seed from year to year on
selected seed patches we are working
toward the highest types of farm
crops, and toward that uniformity of
crops that is an important factor in
successful marketing.
At $3.50 the meeting was called to
order and opened with the presidents g
address, which was a hearty welcome
to Hartsville and an insight into
all the work that is being done there
in plant-breeding.

their places was a History of cotton

Prof. Harper's address was yery
instructive in giving a history of the
cotton plant, and how it has been
improved and who were the most no

years.

tractors Have Twelve Bridge Gangs
At Work-county Road Grading.

Preliminary preparations for the
building OF the gravel road from the
city limits at Summit street to
Marietta and Albion are being made
by the supervisors and the county en-
gineer. Part Of the survey Of the
road has been completed, and stakes
have been set for the grading. Ar
rangements have been made by the
supervisors to round the corners of
right angle turns in the road that have
mot already been rounded. Considera-
ton is being given the proposal to mar
row the road where 1t runs past the
old Braddock farm, from sixty six feet,
from fence to fence to fifty feet, or a
little less.
Preliminary arrangements have also
been made for the county to acquire a
gravel deposit on the land Of the
Thomas Swearingen estate as soon as
the will is probated and an executive
is placed in charge at the September
term Of court.
Township Road Surveyed.
Practically all OF the township road
of this project has been surveyed and
is ready for work to begin at almost
any time. Profiles of some grading
on the county's pant Of the road will
have to be prepared before that part
Of the work can be begun.
The county has made arrangements
to widen the curve around the corner
at the Naumann farm, about mile
west of the city. When survey was
made 1t was found that Naumann's
fence was in the road. 1t has been
moved back and the roadway is to be
graded without the land costing the
county anything. Other sharp turns in
( the road are to be made easier for
travel by increasing the radius Of the
turn.
Twelve Bridge Gangs Working.
All Of the three bridge building con-
tracing firms have now started work
The last to begin was the Ingersoll
and Stoufer Company, which was
awarded the third bridge contract OF
the season a few weeks ago. There
are now twelve contractors bridge
gangs building concrete bridges and
culverts.
The Gngersoll and Stoufer Company
started work with two gangs neal
Green Mountain. The Thor Construc.
ton Company, which was awarded the
first contract. has six gangs working
and the Pickus Engineering Company
has four gangs now at work. 1t is
quite probable, however, that not al,
OF the bridges will be finished this
fall.
