Here is a worth while letter on the farming problems now confronting the people of this section. It comes from J. D. Brandon, co-operative demonstration agent at Bamberg and its peculiar value arises out of the fact that it is in the nature of a heart to heart talk from son to father, and not mere thoughtless advice. The writer is a York county man and a graduate of Clemson college. 'His father is J. E. Brandon, of McConnellsville. Family matters mentioned in the letter, of course, are omitted: - "How is farming coming along up > there? Guess you are getting ready to plant a big crop for the next year. Well, it is bound to happen; it happened here and it will happen there within the next two years. It'3 no use to try to stop it; but it is better to y help it along. Just advise everyvody to plant all the cotton they can plant, and the least amount of corn, wheat, oats, peas, etc. Tell them to sell out all the brood sows along with the cows, buy high-priced ready-mixed , fertilizers, and load up with high priced mules. Then everything will be ready for the weevil. This is how it always happens. I am not prophe.Ttn nV if lin DJTIU45 1 UUt iTOtV/U 1W, U*Vi^ mvuj uy there will make a fair crop this year, f and will think that the weevils wont hnrt hereafter; but from what I could see last summer, that must have been your first year with them. "Well, 1 should say plant cotton again this yea**; but I certainly would invest in a sow and a cow to the plow, and enough chickens to supply the farm. I would begiji to break away from the one crop system, and do a little fencing, plant a row of velvet beans for every row of corn, and enough peanuts to keep that old sow fron starving; the fight is going to ' . 1 be hard and long. "Have you joined the cotton marketing association yet; if you have not I want you to and check on me for the fee: Do it at once and get it started off in York county. I have y - made up my mind that if the farmers do not take to this and stick, then I am forever done with farming, unless I move to/Oklahoma, or North Carolina, where'they have a marketing organization^ "I am convinced that we have got to take a forward step along marketing lines and if we do not, we might as well take down our hopes and ideals, bury tht-m and settle down to a life of drudgery and poverty.

Don't get the idea that cotton will not always be our main Cash crop. Divine guidance has brought the weevil here to get us out of trouble and the one crop system. The Lord has seen that we will always be poor as long as He allows us to make big crops of- cotton and He created the boll weevil to get us out of the rut. and believe me He sure has changed them down here. Mr. B. Weevil is making them come across and sign that cotton crop in the marketing association too. "Some people up in York county have an idea that they can buy livestock and field seeds cheap down here, and have come down and tried it; but much to their surprise they have found everything much higher than at home. Our people know that we've got to have these things to beat the weevil, and it takes something more than money to make our fellows sell. Clyde Ratchford, of Hickory Grove, was down here: but he didn't buy a thing?could get it cheaper at home."?Yorkville Enquirer. Well-known Pest. "Why did you decline to express your opinion when that caller asked for it?" inquired the secretary. "He didn't really want my opinion then," replied Senator Sorghum.
