FARMING ON BIG SCALE.
Messrs. j. X. and w. ID. Mayfield
Plant Hundreds of Acres.

Bamberg county has many pro-
gressive farmers who plant on a
mammoth scale. Two of these are
Messrs. j. K. and w. D. Mayfield, Of
Denmark. These gentlemen's farming
interest are perhaps the largest in
the county. To indicate the scale on
which they plant, it may be stated
that they have ordered this year
nearly 200 tons of nitrate of soda
from the government.
Mr.. j. K. Mayfeld plans to plant
this year his farms as follows: To-
bacco, 80 acres; corn, $40 acres;
small grain, ESQ acres; cotton, 1,001
acres.
Mr.. w. D. Mayfeld will plant his
farms as follows this year: Cucum-
bers, etc., 10 acres; tobacco, "a
acres; small grain, IS acres; corn,
$40 acres; cotton, $50 acres.
The farms constituting the inter
ests of the Messrs. Mayfield are of the
finest land in the State, and it is rare
that they ever harvest less than one
bale of cotton per acre. All other
crops are produced in proportion to
cotton.
In addition to their farming inter
ests, the Messrs. Mayfeld also oper-
ate a large dairy, general merchan-
disc establishments at Denmark and
Lees. and other businesses.

GETTING READY FOR .WEEVIL
Mr.. j. w. Hill Not Depending Entire
ly on Cotton.

L VII SOVCOn
Mr.. J. W. Hill is one of the pro.
gressive farmers of the county. He
makes fine crops every year, but he
states that he is getting ready fol
the coming of the boil weevil, and is
preparing to plant heavily of crops
other than cotton in the future
Last year he made a start by plant
ing, for experimental purposes, si1
acres of tobacco. This year he in
tends to plant II acres In tobacco
thus trebling his crop: '
Mr.. Hill related to The Herald
man the other day the experience!
Of his brother-in-law in Georgia with
the boil weevil. He had a field OF
seventeen acres on which he usually
grew about seventeen bales, or bet
ter, of long staple cotton. When the
weevil first appeared there were
very few of them. appearing here
and there in the fields, but were no
numerous enough to do any damage
The next year, the weevil was there
in force, and although the cotto1
stalks grew about head high, onl!
m bale Of cotton was harvested
from the field.
Mr.. Hill believes that there is
strong possibility of the same condi
tions prevailing here, if not thi
year, perhaps next, as the weevil ha
already appeared in various parts o
the county.

ficiently done there must be differ
ent spirit developed in the schools, in
those who control them, and in the
homes of the South.
First, those who direct or control
our rural schools must be educated
in agriculture. This is the largest
task of all. They are now either ed
ucated against agriculture or not ed
ucated at all. Second, so long as
over forty per cent of the people on
the farms, the patrons of the schools,
feel that they can get no outside help,
no education in agricultural work,
there will be no force brought to bear
on those who control our schools
which will compel the INTO make a
genuine effort to have agriculture
taught in our schools. Third, there
must be more inducement offered
teachers to educate themselves for
efficiency. They must be selected
more carefully and paid more money,
but beyond all, there must be diff
ferent spirit developed in rural teach
ers and rural schools. They must
first be able to see that there is no
less arithmetic" in a problem which
requires the calculation of the
amount of nitrogen in 100 pounds Of
cottonseed meal which contains 6
per cent of nitrogen, than in the
problem of finding the interest on
500 at 6 per cent. They must learn
that something must be taught in
school that is not now in our text
books. The development of diff
ferent attitude toward rural and ag-
ricultural matters as related to ed
ucation and culture must force those
who control our schools and make
our textbooks to produce and adopt
textbooks suitable for use in rural
schools and the teaching of rural
problems. The old fallacy that the
educational and cultural values of
subject depend upon the kind of
subject, or that these are lessened be-
cause the facts taught and the mind
training secured make for efficiency
in the daily work of life, must be ex-
ploded in the minds of those who con-
troll our rural schools as it has been
in the minds of few who have been
educated along vocational lines.
About the greatest obstacle to culture
morality and high-minded living to-
day, as ever in the past, is ineffcien-
cy and grinding poverty.
Agriculture can be taught in any
grade of the grammar school when
the right spirit and the knowledge is
developed in our rural school teach
ers.-Progressive Farmer.
