PAIlMKltN* INHTITLTKb To lit* Hold at Two in The County HiIm Mouth. Mr. Kdltor. There will be held iu yo*u county farmers* institute* on ihn following dtUes and at the following place*: K. A. llrown'H Farm, Auk. -5. BltbUDI. Auk. 26. Tlmro will he present practical f h rmcrH lu the demonstration work, an<| experts from Clemaon College^ to address the farmers on subjects relating to their every day work on the farm. These institutions are held In the interest of the farmers. The salaries and expenses of thesse men are paid by lax payers of the state, and 4 he farmera owe It to themselves to atteud these meetings and derive all the benefit possible from hearing the lecturer*. Theae men are public ser\ iiiiih, anxious to 'In- nuineix. It la no M task to travel from county to coun ty, (lay after ifay and deliver ad dresses, atid to meet hundreds of people. Therefore, these men aro entitled to l?u encouraged when Ihey are endeavoring to perform a public ^ervlce that is filled with ho much promise, provided that the farmers will simply cooperate by attending the meetings, and seek Information by asking questions that will he cheerfully and gladly answered by all the lecturers. It la gratifying to know that (he prejudices that waft once hold by the farmers against scientific men la panning away. All of the great discoveries that have been made In the interest, of agricul ture we owe to scientific men. It was the scientific man who discover ed that leguminous crops are able to take nitrogen from the air and deposit it in the soil, ami save the farmer the liiout costly of all ferti lizer ingredients; it was the scienti fic man who made It possible for Us to overcome to 'a' large degree the ravages- of hog cholera by the use of hog cholera serum; it was the scientific man who enabled us to secure a seed corn that would give a greater yield per acre, by reason of careful selection and breed' iug; it is to the entomologist and plant pathologist that wo go 'to when insects aijd plant diseases are de stroying our crops; it was scientific men who invented and manufactur ed all of the Improved implements for the preparation and cultivation of the soil and harvesting of the crop. Surely, when we realize these facts. we must respect and be willing to heed the instructions of these students of plants' and the soil. So J plead with the farmers of South Carolina to qtfniul t.h'.'H" lugs. ? YV. W, Long, State Agent ? Sup't l'2xi. Those attending tile Institutes are requested to bring well f ij led baskets and have a regular old-fash ioned picnic day. Mr. .loliii Morton Dead.
