DAVID R. COKER SPEAKS TO UNIVERSITY MEN Instructive Address on "Some Mis takes on the Farm"-Issues Invitation. Monday morning in the chapel of the University of South Carolina the students heard David R. Coker, of Hartsville, speak on "Some Mistakes on the Farm." Mr. Coker, who is conducting an experiment farm at Hartsville, stressed the mistake most farmers make of continuously planting one crop on the same land without re storing the humus. He told of the magnificent results he had achieved by planting rye and then plowing it under before planting the regular crop. One mistake the farmers T make, Mr. Coker said; is that they do not plow deep enough, seldom breaking the soil for more than six or eight inches. He said that he had tried breaking land with a traction engine, running the harrow inimedi ately behind the plows and that in this manner he had been able to greatly reduce the cost of cultivating an acre of ground. He deplored the fact that the South Carolina farmers are still buy ing hay, corn and meat from other States and that they were not raising enough stock to supply theii' own needs.
