OUR eOLLEeTION OF
4-
FARMERS CONVWTION.
a . * •
Atlanta, Ga., March 10.—Presi
dent Charles S. Barrett of the Na
tional Karmere’ union htts called a
national convention of farmers at the
Coliseum at St. Louis to continue in
session from May 3 to 4.
It is to discuss needed national and
State legislation and to establish bu
reaus ^ different capitals to see that
the demands of the farmer are heard,
and to devise some means of making
the farm more attractive in order
that the proposed solution of the
economic problems of today—“back
to the farm” may be possible.
President Barrett in his call says:
“This will be a national mass meet
ing for farmers unparalleled in scope,
probably in importance, undoubted
ly in attendance, in the history of
America. I invite not only every
member of our organization, but
also all agricultural organizations
and all American farmers without
regard to location or organization.
“Throughout the present session
of congress the farmers’ union has
maintained a legislative bureau
at Washington. This bureau is pre
paring a report in which the status
of legislation demanded and needed
by the farmer is set forth. It will
be read at St. Louis.
“At no time in the history of the
nation has the farmer been the ob
ject of more solicitude to thoughtful
public men. From congress, from
every newspaper forum, from every
pulpit goes up the cry ’back to the
land!’ Expert students of econo
mics are warning us that unless the
lot of the farmer be improved, un-
less more of his number be kept on
th«> farm, we shall soon be depending
on foreign nations for some of our
food
that I invite the farmers of America
WALTERBORO LfiCAL MEETS.
The Walterboro local met Satur
day dftemoon at .‘5 o’clock with a
go*l attendance of members. Four
applicants were initiated and several
topics of interest w-Vre discussed,
among thef'e being “The Use of the
Gasoline Engine on the Farm,” and
“The Williamson Corn Method.”
The paper on the use of gasoline 1
engine on the farm prepared by S.
P. Goodwin was carefully prepared
and listened to with interest by those
present.
The papers on “The Preparation
for Planting Cotton” and “union
ism” were continued till the next
meeting.

in funeralizing it we don’t see how
they could pay a low tribute to it.
because all infants are good not hav

to degenerate, some of us have thus

help. It appears to me that there is
an investment or an expenditure in
every business enterprise before re
wards are gathered. Behold your
stock or crop, for instance. You
raise hogs to the essential size before
butchering for market. You prepare
your land, get your fertilizer, put it
down, plant your corn, cultivate it
until it develops into maturity and
then harvest it, and thus we per
ceive that an output always precedes
an incomes, and an income succeeds
an output almost invariably if prop
erly managed. Hence, we cannot

GASOLINE ENGINE ON THE FARM.
The following article was read at
Walterboro Local Union Saturday
afternoon by S. P. Goodwin:
One of the most convenient and
practical powers we have is the gas-
olin engine. It is one of the handi
est machines we have on the farm
for doing heavy work. This engine
can be used for driving almost any
thing that can be driven by power,
and it may be used for ginning,
threshing, shelling corn, sawing
wood, churning, pumping water,
turning grinding stones, and vari
ous other things. This is not an ex
pensive machine, and no farm is
complete without one.
The average fanner cannot afford
to buy an engine and all of the ma-
chiney in one year, but they can buy
the engine and one or two machines
each year until they have a complete
outfit, and when once the engine is
bought then there is little expense
for repairs and gasoline.
The small engines are now being
built in a very perfect form and are
about as near foul proof as they can
be made—they are simple and easily
operated, so that one does not need
an experienced man to run them.
They are about as easily operated as
a mowing machine, and anyone can
operate them.
Now in conclusion, I would advise
anyone who is interested in buying
an engine, and who has had no expe
rience, to get the Bulleton No. 4.
Power for the Farm, and I am sure*
you will valuable information out of
it. TheClemaon Agricultural Col

but be loyal and persevering, for in
so doing we will grow. We believe
that two of the greatest troubles
with the farmer today, is his lack of
confidence in his fellowman and him
self. We don’t think we can help
ourselves as farmers. We hear it
said we can do without everybody
else, but they can’t do without us.
We hardly believe it. Another trou
ble with us is that we lack sttckabil-
ity and the ability to recognize our
ability to ameliorate our conditions.
It is not a hard matter to get a fel
low to agree to the fact verbally
that in union there is strength, but
it it a hard matter to get some of us
to do it practically, but after all we
believe there is enough genuine oil
to keep the lamp burning.
