"The first day spent In Sumter and l,ee counties wits regarded l>y <V>1. Wilt sdi i as a most auspaclous open iii(LS. For Mr. W. W. I,ong then' was a splendid talk on soil building by Prof. \V. II. Kartell, of the. staff of I In** I'lilted States department of ag rh'ult inv ; Mr." Straltan. of Chicago, explained simply a nt I in a businesslike way how to harvest largo crops of torn and of grain so as to save as much trouble as possible; and also presented plans for cheap and service able grain elevators. I'rof. A. <5. Smith, of the department of agrlcnl tnre, spoke on the subject of grain it self and Col. Watson urged the farm ers to plant wheat and scored the present methods of farming and living. Oo1. Watson spoke for an hour and a half at Sumter and made a marked impression with the figures he pre sented, showing the waste of the i>eo ple of this State. "The |>eople seemed very much In terested in the statements by Mr. Strut: tan with reference to the cost of build ing and maintaining an elevator. He explained that what they wish is 1 merely h plant for the assembling of ' t in* grain in bulk before it Id nhipiied to t lit* central elevator, wllOfe It In | Msckudi (tor tlui market Ho explained in <!??(??

Smith Uiiide a l>rlef talk I at Kuiilter, as the time wan limited, I hilt tie presented nonte Htartiing facta. For Instance, lie stated that two yearn ago a Sumter farmer had linked him to dinpo*c of !{,000 bushels of corn for that fanner, and Mr. Smith learn ed that the very mime day a Sumter commission men-hunt iiad bought seven carloads of corn ami hay for Sunrter connumers, and all of thin was ship ped In from a great way. "Mr." Smith told of his heing .reared in iiit- middle of the great grain country of the West and declared thrtt i 1 : i ? riuin.M ? llii.ii' iin- ffiiflijffi; money out of grain lie^aufie they uHe li us iilie f lofj In rolineel inn with other* and jy ? >t as their sole crop.

Mr. StraHan hud -tnled in answer to an Inquire* thai he wan i ml ponied on the' prevailing process of grain In t lie Went, but did know .that the farmers there were making good money and were pulling away money after paying- for their fa nun. Mr. Smith then explained that when corn In selling for ' iiii cents in Suin tcr It . Is bringing 58 ( cents in Illinois. He had averaged aliout <K> cents' for his corn In Illinois, although some years the market price went as low an .'15 cents. What did the farmer do Jtlien? lie did not rail at conditions because the price had fallen off, hut he had foreseen the consequences and had provided against this situation hy getting hogs. Ten bushels of corn would produce a pound of pork, and there was good money In that. In answer to inquiries he said that South ('arolifia could not make too much corn for the market and the price here would always lie the price quoted for corn |in Illinois plus the freight, or ahouf 22 cents. That is the corn would sell for that for local use, hut Jf it wfcre to he .shipped to New York, .or other points, the price would he the Illinois price plus the difference in freight rates between Illinois and South Carolina to the market point. "Mr. Smith wan 'absolutely sure that there would he no hitch in marketing the corn. lie recommended a grain elevator of some kind for Sumter, with a corn sheller and grain cleaner com bined. "lie described the mantiei' in which corn In harvested In the Went, and it conjured up a pretty picture. The methods In the South are primitive. The wagon will lie loaded by hand in the fields and unloaded hy hand at the crib, and will \h> loaded and un loaded by hand again when the corn is to be delivered. In the Went the system in different, and one loading and unloading is sufficient, and the I INSURE YOUR PROPERTY AND LESSEN YOUR WORRIES.

"If you con template building a home, build it now," says the Atlanta Journal, "don't put It off for business to get better. Times will get letter but not neces sarily for building." The Journal then quotes as follows from "Keith's", a building authority : "Right now every contractor Is In position to give you a $1.25 return for your money for every dollar Invested and for two reasons. He can buy material comparltlvely cheaply and put good workmen on your job for the same money that In rush times goes to the Incapable man, furnishing llfty l>er cent efficiency. Good live times are right ahead and so a word to the wise that they bo forehanded and build now, for a $5,000 house today in less than a year will cost $0,000." Even If higher rates of Interest have to l>e paid for money now, Keith's comments,, "a $5,000 house on 7 j>er cent money for n time is much better than the same house costing $1,000 more next year at a lower Interest rate." , L "It Is now In the matter of build ing indeed a case of come early and avoid the rush," concludes the Jour nal. "for the rush Is certainly on the way and will be here as soon as tho war depression has lifted and it U already clearing rapidly." The tnan who builds now will not only make money for himself but will help the general situation by putting ltioney In circulation and providing work for men who are now idle.
