Aiken, Not. 3.—After » most sue- i iifnl and enthusiastic meeting the Jalrftrs to the South Carolina Good Roads and Drainage league left for their homes this morning, having been entertained in the homes of AJkenites yesterday and last evening. The visitors to the meeting were highly pleased at the enthusiasm »in the proceedings of the con vention and in the cause of roads and draiMge and expressed their thanks in resolutions for the splendid treat* nent accorded them in the homes of the people of the city. Last night a reception was tender ed the delegates at the Titanian hall hf the people of the city, which was a very pleasant affair. A number of Aikenites called during the evening, and delightful refreshments were PRIZE PRESENTED. D. S. Henderson presented the “Mystic Race” prize, a beautiful loving cup. to Elliott Glover of Orangeburg, whose car won the first honor. -Uyt The cup for the^hest decorated jaeteri^rate into icJJers, or to work car was awarded to R. B. Carter of severa this city. The committee appointed earlier in the day to draft declarations of the principles of the leapue rendered the following report: "The South Carolina Good Roads *'economic and financial indepen dence of life on the farm” such as is shot at us $very day in the magazines ana the newspapers. But I insist that in the main such rhapsodies are written by revolving-chair theorists, who need to have a few ideas blasted out of their heads and a few others blasted in before their preachment can be of real value. To be a good farmer requires as much brains, as much applica tion, as much mixture of grey matter and muscle as it does to be a good salesman, a good doctor, a good lawyer or a good clerk. Every man is not bom to be a good salesman, a> good doctor, lawyer or clerk. That fact is generally recognized and acted upon. But I know of mighty few men who are not positive they would be good fanners, and who think that all that in necessary is to stick a hoe in the ground, pray fof rain and harvest the crop. If you will analyze the great drift from the farm to the city with a view to checking it in your locality, you will find that a great percentage of it is com posed of the Farm Failures. These young men and middle- aged men had the common delus ion. They thought farming was “easy.” They find it isn't easy, nd they go to the city either to ii limes as hard than if they had cultivate!* their brains instead of their dissatisfaction and remained on the farm.

To the officers and members of the Farmers' Union:—If the con stitution and the creed of the Farmers’ Union, as well as your leaden, have seemed to unduly strem the value of agricultural education and of special training it it for the aiiripki reason that , they are back of success of life on the farm. I do not unqualifiedly approve ot the average agricultural col lege in this country, for the rea son that it teaches too much from the text-book and not enough from the furrow. Nut gradually we are improving the grade of the agricultural college, and I hope with your co-opera tion, eventually to rouse the American people to tne impor tance of the undertaking. I do not disparage or ridicule the ecstatic assertions of the farm life”, or the CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK. The increased interest in the feeding of live stock by the fanners is one of the most en couraging signs that a different and better system of agriculture is generally being developed. Farmers are beginning to realize that some means must be devised for obtaining maximum yields of for several crops at the minimum expense of fertilizer, and fortu nately there is no section of the country where the soil fertility can be permanently increased more economically. The continuous growing of cotton on the same fields year after year and the washing of the land during the winter months has been the chief cause of depleting the fertility and re ducing the yield upon the aver age farms. Yet if a rational system of agriculture were fol lowed, these conditions would be quickly removed and the value and productiveness of the land permanently increased. While cotton seed meal con tains practically all the fertility extracted from the soil by the cotton crup and is one of the most valuable fertilizers we have, it ia also equally as valuable for feeding live stock. The cotton lint and the oil contains no fer tility whatever and can be told from the farm without loss which means that if the cotton seed meal now produced in this state was fed to beef and dairy cattle and other animals good enough to return to the owner the mark et price of the meal in the form of milk or increased flesh, the wealth of the state would be in creased over $5,000,000 annually and if the manure were carefullv saved and returned to the soil, the annual account for fertilizer which ia now $20,000,000 could be reduced to the extent of the value of the meal It would only on buying nothing but the best quality and highest grade meal that is offered. The cheaper low grade meal and fixed feed are always the least profitable and should not be used except at a much lower price than they are usually sold for. In buying cattle it is import ant that they should be of good beef type and uniform in size, color and age. 6 The cattle should be weighed after twelve hours without feed or water or with a 3 per cent shrink. If they are weighed with 50 to 75 pounds of water and feed in each animal, it might easily off set the profits of feedfoff them. The profits in feeding cattle will depend largely on the char acter of the cattle. The only kind that can be fed profitably are thoee that will increase in value ss they put on flesh. The scrub narrow backed steer can only be fed at a loss and one of the first requisites in successful cattle feeding ia to become a competent judge and be able to make an intelhgenc selection. The Agricultural Fain should assist materially in this matter by establishing judging classes, and whatever the fanners of the state are sufficiently interested in the breeding, feedirfg, judg ing and caring for any kind of live stock to call a meeting, the Extension Department at Gem- son College will gladly send men who are especially trained in this line of work to render every possible assistance or will be glad to render assistance by cor respondence. - Prof. A.
