Forty progressive Oconeo farmers made the trip last Wednesday to the \Vu 0 Drako farm in Anderson coun ty. About 250 farmers were there from' the counties of Greenwood, .Pidtons, Edgoflold and Oconee. lt was a great day in the history of better farming in this State when this large group of wide-awake farm ers assembled to gain knowledge from the experiences of a farmer who had a very humble beginning and many difficulties to overcome, and who has accomplished so much in the way of soil improvement in the last ten years. N. E. Winters. "The Billy Sunday of Modern Agriculture." was there on the job and piloted tho crowd mound with Mr. Drako and with Mr. Byars, the Anderson county agent. The effects of plowing under crimson clover, vetch and velvet beans was shown on the ground. Large red gul lies, bad been filled up and preparod for cultivation In several parts of the farm, and In some of these 1 logs could be seen. As Mr. Wlntors said In I down there, any one can grow sil rye and hairy vetch If the > itel inoculated with soil, and these two ato "fool-proof" crops and cannot be beaten for winter cover, crops. Every farmer should try some this winter. taler Limo Now. I .rmor who intends sowing alfa I red/dover should arrange Iii te now, for it must como ', in carload lots and r. ust be ordered without delay. Lime comes In well and is a paying propt ilton with any legume crops or with grain and leg ; ume rotations where there ls bo considerable vegetable turned under for the soll. M goes over his entire farm ev< I years with lime, and Ands t. helps wonderfully lu his system of farming. Lime has no place, how ever, In clean cotton farming. The county agent can give you prices and places for ordoring lime and all kinds of seeds. The Time is Now at Hand when farmers must look to cover crops in winter to protect and In crease the fertility of their soils at the least expense, to cover tho bare soil and to protect lt ; to bold the very cream of soil f?rtil li ty from leaching out and washing away dur ing the winter, and legumes in win ter also for gathering largo supplies of free nitrogen .rom tho air. The soil ls the foundation of tho wealth of tho farm. Treat lt right by cover ing the boro soil in winter. Humus ls the crying need of the soils of tin Southeast. Make the start this fall.

At practically all points in tho county visited the past week by tho motion picture show of the Stale Hoard of Health, which co-operated with the home and farm demonstra tion agents, there were large crowds. Great interest was shown In the pic tures, and their message was clearly and forcefully presented. Mr. Burrell, tho operator in charge, stated that this county seemed to be the banner county of the State in tho matter of Inrgo attendance at tho meetings. Those who saw the pictures on tu berculosis in cattlo. and who nre In terested In having their sows teste 1 for tuberculosis freo of chargo by tho State and Fedoral agonctes, should got In touch with tho county agent at once.
