Farmers Institute at Cleora.

Several years ago the most pro-
sressive farmers of the Cleora sec,
ton organized an agricultural club
and held their first summer insti-
tute, inviting some of the Clemson
professors to address them. These
meetings have been held each sue
ceeding year with increased attend
ance and greatly increased interest.
The third or fourth annual meeting
was held Thursd ~, the attendance
being about double that of last
year. The Brunson school house, at
which the institutes are held, is To-
Gated on the Martin IOWA road be-
tween Mr.. Walter Brunson's and
MIR. Chris Williams and is easily
reached from every section.
The first speaker of the day was
Mr.. w. w. Fuller, the county SUI
perinteudent of education, who was
requested to make a short address
in order TO arouse greater interest
in the erection of a new school
building. He urged the patrons OF
the school to begin the erection of
the new building at once, stating
that the State and county would
provide half of the necessary
amount of money. He also stated
that a citizen of the community
could subscribe to the building
fund. say SO, and contribute labor
or hauling 20 that amount.
Since Thursday we have learned
that the work of providing adequate
school facilities for the brunson
school will begin at once. Much of
the material is now on the ground
and the remainder will be delivered
as soon as needed. 1t is the purpose
of the patrons to have the new
building ready for the opening of
the next session of the school.
Mrs. Dora D.. Walker followed
Mr.. Fuller, making a very earnest
and practical talk for half an hour.
She presented the work of the to-
mato clubs. following it from the
small beginning five years ago with
So girls up to the present time,
there being now more than 5000
girls engaged in this specia! work.
Mrs. Walker explained how the
girls are taught the culture Of veg
etables and their value as a food,
how they are taught scientific can
ming and also bookkeeping il Dr.
del to keep a record of the actual
cost of their finished product. Mrs.
Walker also spoke at length Of
many donastic problems, labor
saving devices and supplying
water for the kitchen. Her instruc-
tive talk was well received.
Prof Calvin of Clemson college
spoke upon livestock. He stated
that pork and cattle can be as
cheaply produced in South Carolina
as anywhere IN the world. He
referred to the very superior quality
of some beef cattle that was raised
near Ninety Six last year and sold
on the Greenwood market for fancy
prices, Baltimore and New York
buyers being eager for them. Prof
Calvin said it is useless to even
think of raising livestock without
first providing adequate and cheap
feed. He urged the Improvement of

pastures, ridiculing the idea that a
man can put a fence around a piece
of WORKOUT land and call it a pas.
ture, expecting stock to thrive on
it. Pastures must be sodded in
grass and given constant attention.
Prof Calvin stated that the people
of South Carolina eat more meat
and produce less meat per capita
than any other people in the world.
Being asked what progress is being
made In the eradication of cattle
ticks in! this State, Prof Calvin
said that within two and a half
years the counties free from ticks
have increased from IA TO % and
that in two more years it is thought
the State will be entirely free from
them. In illustrating how farmers
can change with profit from all cot
ton to stock with profit, Prof Cal
win referred 20 the shipments of
cattle from Mississippi. Before the
boil weevil reached that section
about $500 cattle were shipped
yearly to the St. Louis market and
after the weevil had curtailed the
cotton acreage the shipment of cat
tie to St. Louis alone reached l52,-
00e per year.
Col E J Watson, the commission
er of agriculture, was the last
speaker. He spoke in a light and
humorous vein for about 10 minutes,
adopting this means Of awaking
and arousing his hearers. After this
pleasing depression, he entered upon
a practical talk of more than an
hour to the farmers present. He
predicted the coming of the boil
weevil and urged farmers to be
ready. He pointed out the great
need Of Investigation, instead of
being entirely dependent upon cot
ton. He stressed the folly of buy
ing high-priced mineral nitrogen
when it can be put in the soil by
legumlnous crops. Nature has
stored in the soil all the elements
of plant food. We need to so
treat the soil as to render this food
available. Col Watson gave fig
ures to show that the farmers of
South Carolina have been burdened
with too great a fertilizer debt. He
is not opposed to the proper use of
commercial fertilizers. He also re-
ferred to the enormous sums that
are being sent west for grain, hay
and livestock. His address was
practical and was week received by
the farmers.
At the close of Col Watson's ad-
dress dinner was served, the money
realized from the dinner will be
added to the school FUND. The
splendid barbecue dinner was cook
ed by Nj Robert Moultrie, who can
not be surpassed. He is a veteran
chef who has won laurels in the
past. Mr. Moultrie worked faith
fully to help the good people Of
Cleora in making this feature of
their institute a success.
Col Alvin Etheredge spoke in the
afternoon but the writer had to
leave for Edgefe4d before he began
his address, He always speak along
practical and helpful lines. After
his address all repaired to Cleor as

HELEN SHELLY TO REPRESENT
ALGIERs PLAYGROUND

Little Helen Gertrude Sicily has
been selected as candidate from Al
giers for queen of the May festival
at st. Roch Playground on May 7th
Last year the queen was taken
from st. Roch Playground in a con-
test with other children on the same
ground. This year it was decided by
the Playground Commission to give
a chance to each playground, thus
eliminating the selection from one
playground.
This year the contest will be decid.
ed by the playground candidate bring
ing the highest number of votes.
Votes will be one cent each, and the
money derived will go to each indi-
vidual playground.
1t will we'll be remembered that AL
siers Playground came out first in the
contest for the prettiest decorated
float, which was donated by Mayor
Behrman, the loving cup adjoining the
office of the Playground Commission.

showing as We did last year and boost

ground candidate, for queen of the

the most up-to-date ladies ready TO
wear houses in the city OF New Or

formerly associated with the Econ

Grand Leader and no doubt his many
Algiers friends will be pleased TO
see him in his new location where he
is offering some of the finest goods
securable in the East.
On account Of the ease with which
these Dryades stores are reached
with the Dryades car from the ferry
great deal of the Algiers trade
goes TO this direction and as Mr..
Levy has a large acquaintance with
the Algiers trade, it goes without
saying that he will be able to have
them all numbered among his Gus
toners. The Grand Leader is max

How to Converse With Authors.

l have learned, says a writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, that in conversations
with authors there should be long
pauses. This is because every remark,
after being received by the ear, must
be submitted to strict brain analy-
sis, and then given a soul bath before
1t is proper to venture a reply. /
have found, also, that in answering
too quickly l myself lose caste. now
make it a point never to respond to a
question addressed to me by an au-
thor until l have counted twenty. If
the author is very distinguished, l
make it fifty for good measure.
