EXCELLENT ADDRESS.
(Continued from first page) tl
in the back quarters of by-gone prae
tii-cs anti ideas. .
Diversification.
"?entlemen, I do not believe that
there is a single acre of well drained
land in South Carolina that can not
be made to yield three times its pres
ent average production. Diversified
farming will bring it abouti Diver
sified farming is the one key that
will unlock the chest of gold that
lies hidden in every acre of our land
. "Diversified farming compels ns
to keep more live stock. It will rid
us of the evils of over-production,
for if we diversify profitably we
must grow our crops in systematic
rotation. This will necessarily re
duce the acreage of cotton, that crop
that is ,so liable to suffer from over
production,, The most profitable
and the m?st important lesson bur
farmers have to learn is the value of
diversified farming. If the South
ern farmer ever hopes to have a mo
nopoly on* cotton, and he does not
have this monopoly at the present
time , he must diversify to the ex
tent of producing on his own farm
most of the agricultural products
that he consumes and have his cot
ton as a surplus.
Basis of all Wealth.
"The soil is the basis of all our
wealth. If we make our soils rich
we will be rich, if we allow them to
remain poor, we will remain poor.
The continual cultivation of cotton
means that our soil will continue to
remain poor. Cotton is not an ex
haustive crop when it is grown , in
rotation,but when it is grown contin
. uously the fertility of the soil is hn- j
. paired.
"It is not the crop itself, that re
duces the fertility of the soil, but it
is the lack of systematic niethode
of farming which causes the decline
in- fertility. Old worn out cotton
; soils readily recuperate when some
humus forming materials are return
ed to the soil by the rotation of
arops, the use of farm manures and
the cultivation of such plants as cow
peas, crimson clover, bur clover, Soy
beans, alfalfa, wheat, rye barley and
oats.
Marvelous.
"South Carolina is now producing
annually about 8150,000,000 of
: wealth. This is largely agricultu
ral and without increasing our pres
' ent labor force this figure can be
. increased to $600,000,000 by better
. methods of farming. No phase of
agricultural practice is of more im
portance than that of improving and
maintaining the'fertility of our soils
, and I make this statement without
I fear of contradiction: From the geo
j logical, physical, chemical; and^biol
.-. ogical makeup of OUE?SO?I and we can
. never economically make them ex
-rtremely rich without the aid of live
stock.
"If we diversify our crops we
must keep live stock or consume
. the forage plants produced. The
' soils of this State are of such a na
. ture, being composed largely of sand
. of various degrees of fineness, that
j it is impossible with our present
rainfall to retain a sufficient amount
v of moisture to produce large crops
unless we add manure to the soil
. that will form vegetable mould
. which retains moisture.
We are now using annually about
' 812,000,000 worth of commercial
fertilizers in the state. While I do not
believe that this money^is wasted,
'. yet I do believe that we could pro
j duce as large crops as we now pro
. duce with half of this amount- ?f
. commercial fertilizer, provided we
- put more decayed vegetable matter
into the soil by the use of legumes

* A Good Reason.
Edgefie?d People Can Tell You
Why it is so.
Doan's kidney pills cure the
cause of disease, and that is why
the cuves are always lasting. This
remedy strengthens and tones up
the kidneys, helping them to drive
out of the body the liquid poisons
that cause backache, headache and
distressing kidney and urinary com
plaints. Edgefield people testify to
permanent cures. >
C. B. Gray, Main St., Edgefield,
S. C., says: "I am very willing that
my name should* be used in recom
mendation of Dean's kidney pills
for the reasonthat I know them to
be a valuable remedy^ For some
years I was bothered by backache
which became quite severe at times.
There-was also a disorder of the
kidneys which caused me additional
suffering. A few weeks ago I learn
ed about Doan's kidney pills and
concluding to give them a trial
went to Fenn ;& Holstein's drug
store and bought a box. A short
time after I began using them I
felt much better and I am continu
ing to take them feeling sure that
my trouble will soon be disposed of
entirely."

md barnyard manure.
Cottonseed Meal.
?The fertility of the soil is dep?n?
lent upon three .main. factors-^he
physical condition of. the - soil, the
chemical condition and the biologi
3al condition. Rich manure puts
the soil into a better physical condi
tion, it adds the proper elements of
plant food in the right proportion
md it improves the biological con
dition by adding millions upon mil
lions of germs, the action of which
is most beneficial to the soil.
"To those farmers who are con
templating the reduction of the area
of land devoted to cotton I would
recommend the following crops:
Bur clover, crimson clover, alfalfa
Bermuda grass, Texas blue grass,
beardless spring barley, Candada
field peas, amber sorghum, iron cow
peas, late Soy beans, rape, thousand
headed kale, German millet, Florida
beggarweed, sweet potatoes, arti
chokes! wheat rye, vetch, rutabagas,
winter barley and pearl millet.
