The j-icnic was given under the au spices of the Peniel Farmers’ Union and there were at least 750 people present to enjoy the hoepiulity of these good |»eople. ' The Clemson party of institute workers, consisting of Profs. Con- radi, Keitt. Jackson and Superinten dent |). N. Barrow, were all present, and addrear^d the farmers on their particular line*, covering practically the same features as were covered at the Horse Pen meeting Wednes day. Hon. James Henry Rice, pres ident of the State Audubon Society, was also present. Superintendent Barrow mhde his first appearance today, and a brief synopsis of his address follews. At one o’clock a picnic dinner, that would liave fed three times the crowd, was laid on the tables under the oaks and partaken of by those present. In the afternoon there were speeches by Prof. Barrow and Hon. D. H. Winslow, United States Expert in charge of road construc tion. and Prof. Conradi. These speeches were all attentively listened to and enjoyed. President L. C. Padgett, of the County Farmers’ Union, presded over this meeting, and made one of his charateristic ad- drese-es. The Institute was held Friday afternoon at Cross Swamp. In the afternoon Prof. D. N. Bar- row, Superintendent of the Clemson Extension work, was the first speak er. He hsd a chart showing the relative conditions in different parts of the country. The farmers of New’ York, Illinois and other Northern States make more per capita than down South. He showed that in these states farm laborers use more horse power.. In Illinois the farmer uses over 3 horse power per capita, while down in South Carolina each farmer uses f of a horse power. 'The result is that down South we depend too much on brute strength. The white man must use his superior brain. The argument down South is that negroes cannot use these improved implements. This is not ttue, and will be found so if we try the ma chinery. Supt. Barrow madejh very practical speech in discussing his subject. D. H. Winslow, the United States expert in charge of road constitu tion showing the relation of good roads to education. Mr. Winslow said the small school house is along the bad road, while the good schools are along the good roads. In the states where the roads are bad you have the percentage of illiteracy of 4 per cent, while in the States where you have good roads the percentage of illiterracy is less than A per cent. Children cannot attend school where the roads are bad. Improve your road* and you improve your schools. Toe little child goes to school and brings home a fittle card represent ing his standing in the school. If he has bad roads, he cannot attend reg ularly and consequently her card does not show. In regard to land values he cited iqptances where lands had jumped from $20 to $60 per acres'‘and nu merous instances of an increase of 100 to 300 per cent. Good roads do not maks land valuable but it makes land values possible. Speaking of sand-day road?, Mr. Winslow, said it was baaed on the following prindples: Sand when wet will support a load, the clay when dry will support a load. Here are two tendencies, and when com bined they produce a hard substance —a solid maM. If you use day and •and in proper proportions you fH a«good road. Some counties place day on and others put sand on day. and im agine they are getting sand-day roads. They are not they are get ting sand-day crusts.
