We hope .that half a hundred will enter next year. A Very Valuable and Timely Article From an Able, Ob serving Writer. Dear Advertiser: Farmers area hopeful class, they start out in the spring with optimistic views and when fall comes with a small yield of farm productions they hope to do better next year. ' This year has ^ been a disastrous one for this sec . xion on account of the almost con tinuous rains during Jurie and July, and then the drought in. August. Some one has said if the farmers .* .can make only, half crops and pay their debts and live farming must be a pretty good occupation after ali. , .. . But there DJ coming a new erea" in farming, and the farmer is com ing to his own. In social economy the world wants to place him in th? third or fourth rank,when he should occupy . first. Why shouldn't he stand aboye t ie artisan, the trader and the banker." It is his produce that feeds and clothes the world, and affords others opportunities to take toll from his earnings for their living. Yes, the farmer is coming tQ his own and the next generation of politicians will not gain popular ity among the agricultural classes by dubbing them the "one gallus, wool hat crowd." ' The old negro preacher who told his'cOngregation, we done been worked for the white people 300 years and we got to i work for ourselves;" may have been something of a philosopher. We farmers have "done been worked" for the world ever since God Al mighty turned Adam and Eve out of the apple orchard and we must do something for ourselves. We must educate and take more interest in public affairs. We can no longer afford to be hewers of wood and drajwa's of water. *?he farmers have only learned jdtj?ji?gtof growing crops, yet 309 bushel s of corn and two bales of cotton per une are being produc ed. It is no uncommon thing to read of yields of 1C0 bushels per acre, and they are being made all around us. Even here some of the I .ol? hills above^Rockey creek have ~.jp*oduced -gO?>3 crops under the most unseasonable conditions. Mr. J..vP/*Onzt8 made 139 bushels of corn 'on.3 acres at a total cost of - #86.70 or about 26c per bushel. -Duane Ouzts, Mr. Ouzts' grand son, made 50 bushels on one acre at a to tal cost of $14.30 or about 30c per bushel. Mr. J. Iv. Allen will make about 45 bushels per acre at a cost of ?iwut 25c or 30c per bushel. Mr. W?. D. Padgett made 66 bushels on one acre at a cost of about 50c per bushel. Then there is Bell, Devore, Sawyer, Bledsoe and others to hear from. While, those yields are not remarkable they show what can be inade under adverse conditions. The farmers are now engaged in sowing grain and the area sown will depend largely upon weather conditions. We deplore thes, fact that so many are sowing wes te ni oats when the home raised oats are far superior to any we can buy. And the whole country will be min ed in a few years with Johnson grass, wild carrot, and other pests if the craze for shipped oats con tinues. We know of. several farms that have been - incalculably damag ed Ly those pests introduced in sowing western oats. Right here we may truthfully say the prover bial ounce of prevention is worth a ponnd of cure. > W. D. 0. Elmwood, S. C. Our Parksville Correspondent Writes of Union Meeting and West-Side Fair. ' The union meeting of the third division met with the Clark's Hill church yesterday and day before and was a very profitable meeting. On Saturday the several ' queries were discussed, the following breth ren taking active part: J. C. Mor gan, J. M. Bussey, P. H. Russe}', Jj. G. Bell, Ed Bunch, J. Ci Han ley, Rev. P. B. Lanham and others. It being the time for. the election of officers thc following officers were elected: Dr. D. & J. Kell, moderator, J. G. Mellie, secretary and treasurer. . < Sunday morning the exercises were in the hands of the Clark's Hill Sunday school, Bro. J. G; Mc Kie, who introduced Mr. T. G. Tal bert, who took'-, up the hour in gi\\ ing a most excellent address, which was well received. At 11:30 Rev. Mr. Garrott preached the missionary sermon, in stead of Rev.. L. B. White, who had written that he could not be with us on account of the serious illness of his father, Mr. Tom White, of Greenwood, "who could live only a short time. ' After a most instructive sermon, a collection was tajeen for state mis sions, amounted to $10.70. The union had an hour recess, in which time, we partook of refreshments, such as the Clark's Hill people know how to prepare. Thc afternoon was given over to . B.1 Y. P. U. work. Young Bro. Maxie White, principal of Plum Branch high school, was kept away on occount of the serious condition of his grandfather, and Mr. D. N. Dorn, svas unavoidably absent, but despite the absence of the brilliant young B. Y. P. U. workers we had a good meeting. Mrs. Mamie Walker came up with a good paper ?and Bro. S. T. Adams with a good speech, and we were successful in drawing out two other good speeches from brethren Pat Bussey and Press Lan ham. The music was good* the preaching good, the speaking good and the Clark?s Hill hospitality un bounded. The next meeting of the union convenes with the 'Modue church. <\Rev. P. B. Lanham was with us in a spic and span new buggy, the gift of a generous son-in-law, aiidT simply rise to remark in passing, that he-has a son-in-law worth hav ing. . (. ' Bro. Geo. Adams was also with us enlivening . the crowd with his witticism, and by the ..way, George says he don't believe those' : speak ing and catnip yarric' he has been reading in The Advertiser from ParksviHc, and we can siinpljT refer him to Messrs.
