4 gpattcasttr pews (SEMI-WEEKLY.) SATURDAY, OCT. ?1, 190S. FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK. At an agricultural meeting held in Columbia t his week more than one speaker had something interesting to say about the farm demonstration work that has been undertaken by the national department of agriculture, all agreeing that it i* the "only work ever instituted which aims at reaching the mass of people in their homes," to quote the words of Prof. Campbell, one o! the speakers, as reporied in The State. There was also a meet ing in Columbia during the week ol the agents ol the larni demon stration work, who "diseussed the many phases of the work and exchanged experiences", says The State. According to the same newspaper, ' this farm demonstration is now in operation in the following counties: Rich land, Lexington, Kershaw, Lau reus, Chester, Fairfield, Sumter, Lee, lTnion, Cherokee. Anderson, Greenville and other conn ties." Why is it that Lancaster is not among the cf unties getting the benefit ol this important work? A Lexieg.oti "special" in the .News and Courier of recent date staled that it was "through the efforts ot Congressman Lever in a large measure that the department has undertaken the several lines of work now going on in the State." But it is not likelv that Mr. Lever is exerting his in. flue nee out-He of lii ^ own dis trict, in which, by the way, th^ same correspondent states that lour of the six counties are being worked under the new system. The correspondent gives the plan ot t he government's representative in charge of the work in thif S'nteas follows: "The plan by which he workis to have one field a^ent covet the entire State, district agents to cover more res'ricted territory an 1 then local county agents These latter are successlul an< progressive 'armers cho-en 1mm the tarmeis ot the county in which they operate. These lo cat agents act under theins'ruc tions of the field agents, who in turn act under Hie direc tion ol t lie State agent The aim ot tl?e department is to put into operation upon the farms the best agricultural methods compiling both practical and theoretical agriculture. The county agents select a number of demonstration, as they are called, and with these make demonstra1.9 o prov that improved met hods bring the be** re-ults and the largest profits to the farmers. As Mr Williams expresses it, "the demonstration work lnnsl <tMmr?iielr;ito " Tl m i- the results under the departm-n' methods must show bute: thin under the ordinary me'hod now involved. I ho department is hyiiir to bring to the tarnv-rlirst handed science and experience I he bulletin is to b * supplanted by personal contact will the farmer." We havrj no d utii ut that i S' me ol our repieit iitive farmers v> ill take ;his matter up witl Congressman Finle\ lie will u->< his !) *-1 fdfor * n? have the dem onst ration work instil uted in tids county. The contributions of some coun'ies to the Bryan lund aie piti ully small As many as n dozen coun'ies have piven le.-u than $100 each. among them the luge and wealthy county ol Spartanburg, i>? contribution, at published in The State of Wed nesday, being only $04 35. Hampton and Horehesler are running neck and neck for th* (.ail end of the list, the lorm *r't THE LANO contribution being $22.40, and * the letter's $21.72. Georgetown has given only $28 60 ; Berkeley, C $45.30; Colleton, $26.93; Bam i berg, $56.35 The largest contributor is liichland, having < $1,067.86 to its credit. Next comes Orangeburg with $454.85. Sumter has also done well, its ^ 1 sum being $400.26; likewise i Greenville, which is credited ' with $410 60. Lancaster's con- , tiibution, $140.96, is very creditable, considering that it is one 1 of the smallest counties. Don't fail to go the polls next Tuesday and tedeem your primary pledge and help swell Bryan's popular majority.

Willson, me oMh? leading inemhcri or the South Carolina Methodist Conlerenee, in a letter in this week's . issue of the Southern Christian Advocate expretses the h ?pe that the Conference will accept Lancaster's invitation to meet hero next year and presents un| an-werable reasons why it should do so Mr. Willson says: I "Allow me the privilege of saying that I hope our Confer one will accept the invita'i ?n < f Luncasier and will meet in that thriving city in 11)09. Wo have .ever met there, and have not ' been ofien in that section oI our Slate. No place has priority of invit ition. and no place can h <ve better claims".
