And never was a better work done han when the young man was lately aught that farming was a business ind a science, in which to obtain success, one hart to master the prin iplos. and that success could not be ittainert by working in the "hit-orniss" style prextilent until the itnnediate present. Most of the Chambers of Comnerce and other business organizaious throughout the state have iwakened to the necessity of stimuating greater agricultural activities nd are co-operating with the department of agriculture. Clemson college, be experiment stations and all other gencies for the purpose of rtissemnating needful knowledge among lie farmers and in every way to inrease their efficiency. The great ailroads have entered into the work i'ith a zeal that is born of the knowldge that increased earnings on their iroperties depend solely upon the umber and success of the people 11 vng in the territory tributary to their For example, the Southern Railway has organized throughout tho orritory it traverses live stock assoiations to stimulate progress along he line 01* raising and breeding beter and finer stock. Auction sales nd exhibits of live stock and all farm roducts are encouraged. Farm demonstration trains are operated with he idea that if the farmer cannot o to the school, the school will be aken to him. The department of agriculture is o-day doing more than distribute arden and farm seeds. The various ivisions or bureaus of the departient have finally become appreciated and, consequently, have their ands full supplying the demand pun them for information, instrucion and demonstration. The luteau of marketing is doing a great ork acting, as it does fn the way f a clearing house between the farmrs of one section of the state and n other. It is :? sad I'uct that the (Treat naarity of cities which, through their usliiess organizations are stretching ieir resources to the limit in the ad scramble for factories, pay very ttle attention, if any, to the. necestv of keeping the rural territory p to as high a state- of etlVriency the city. "The farmer is the man ho feeds us all:'' hence, every pos!)!? assistance should he g|???n hita his work. Agricu turc has always t*eeii an.f ill forever continue to be the hackine of the country, but it ius been idly neglected as lias th? farmer mseif. with the inevitable resirfc iat production of fiirm products has it increased in proportion to the icreasc of population, t'onseqnenr. if is small wonder that farm prt>ucts to-day command very high pni*s. and the cry of "the high < ost !i\ing" is- heard from .ill sides. 'lie only solution is to assist the inner, "tin* man who tills the soil," i) properly and intelligently increase reduction through intensive and raional farming methods. 4.
