.Made In lore Asrri< ulturai ('omViTaee
at Columbia During .National Corn
Exposition.
% While the corn crop of the United
States in 1912 amounted 10 live siu>
pendous figure of $1,7",9, 000,^ '<? <:0
and represented more than twice the
value of the next largest crop, it is j
an undoubted fact that' a great deal
can yet be don-e towards improving
the quality and increasing the quantity
of the corn produced in this
country. It is true that more and
| more attention is being given to ihe
growing of corn especially in this
If State, but, nevertheless, tar too little |
attention has been given to the most1
? v vital question of all namely, proper
^ seed selection. A great deal of time
and labor can be saved and larger
and mroe valuable crop yields can
Jbe obtained by a little systematic
study of the question of seed selection.
.Many tests have been made
and oractical results obtained so that j
any grower of corn can secure without
any difficulty the right kind of
seed from which to obtain the best
possible crop.
Another very important feature re-j
suiting from the improvement in j
corn production as a result of better ;
selection of seed is the fact that
the raising of live stock becomes
thereby stimulated and encourage j
and this is a most desirable thing:
as it natura'iy tenus 10 iiuy.v,>t
the quality of the stock, to add to the
productiveness of the soil and for
profitable occupation. It is, there^
fore, of the greatest importance that
bankers throughout, the State render
every possible assistance and en?
\ couragement to farmers in the purchase
of selected seed and also en-;
courage the growing of corn as well!
as other cereals for seed purposes.
"We believe the time is at hand !
"when the best interests of the bUte
can be served by the division of the
large farms into small tracts thus
improving general methods of farm?
ing by introducing the element of j
' careful uersonal attention of details. |
As a splendid example of the won-j
derful results of farming on a small!
scale it is only necessary to refer to j
the wonderfui results achieved in |
France and Germany where si:cli is !
the custom. Any one who will take ;
time to study; -even in a small way, i
the methods of farming in these j
countries will be astonished to;
learn of the splendid yields ' from
v the small holdings of these farmers.
This success is unquestionably largely
due to the fact that the European
farmer does not attempt to handle j
more than he can conveniently farm ;
I and by concentrating his efforts on!
a smaller area achieves results that j
E would be impossiole lr ms au^nciou ,
were centered over a m -ji' larger'
holding.
In order to encourage the development
of small farms we would urge;
v that the banks throughout the State,
when practical, make advances for
the purchase of farms to men of good
character who are thrifty, industrious
and ambitious, and encourage in every
way possible the development of.
small farms rendering at ail times j
whatever assistance is within their1
power. Believing firmly that the |
progress and prosperity of our State
/- on Ko orrootK* i rtnraa coH Kir c?nr>nn r
^ Vau WV ?> 4 VW*V*J iuvt VMWU WJ N/MVWMA
aging more of our citizens to own
ana operate small farms, and realiz-!
ing that tlje prosperity of our State |
depends upon the prosperity of our
farmers, we earnestly urge this as- i
distance.
In order to accjuiplia'i su-icc-asful
results in any undertaking it is, of
course, essential that a proper foun?
chrmlri hp Taid and for this
reason we believe that it is of the
greatest importance that scientific
training and study in agriculture j
should be taken up in real earnest;
and a course in elementary agriculture
taught in all public and high
schools throughout the State. I'lti :
mat-ely the rural public schools
should be consolidated into high
schools and a special course in scientific
agriculture adopted and taugh;
in these schools.
? . It will readily be appriciated thatI
the farm problem depends to a very j
large extent upon maintaining the i
^ fertility of the soil and to this end
fe it is absolutely essential that syste-:
|L matic planting of crops be adoptedj
B| which will maintain as nearly as pos-'
sible the necessary balanco of plant i
food. There is no better way to
maintain this fertility and to build
up soil conditions than by raising of
a certain amount of live stock on the
farm and a proper rotation of the
various crops in such a way that
the natural fertility of the soil is utilized
to the best advantage. Illus
trating this point by another refer-:
>ence to European farming method
it is most interesting to note that as
the result or' careful fertilizing and

systematic crop hotation, land in
many parts of that country which has |
been producing crops tor two tnou- ;
sand y^ars and upwards is at the \
present time yielding more bush-els '
of wheat, oats, potatoes and other |
products to the acre than can be
shown in pratically any part of this
country where the land is very
young so far as its cultivation is
concerned. ]
Every farmer knows that the fer- '
tility of the soil is rapidly exhaust- j
ed by continuous planting of the j
same crop year after year, and it is i
therefore of the greatest importance
that farmers should adopt a prop-er
and systematic rotation of crops j '
order to maintain the fertility of their;
land. We would especially urge that!
this important subject of crop rota-!
. . I
tion be given careful and favorable j
attention.
The foregoing recommendations are
presented in necessarily brief form
but it is the intention of the commit- j
tee on agricultural development and j
education of the South Carolina Ban-'
i
kers association to do everything in'
its power to assist the farmers in im -1
proving farming conditions in the!
State. Throughout the United States J
there has been a general awakening
. the importance of this great subject
and it is hoped that before long
great results will be shown from the
work being undertaken. Better farming
conditions are certainly possible
and it is the duty of the banking fraternity
to do all within its power to
render every assistance to the farmer,
to the cause of improved farming
this committee pledges itself.
