It did not rain, however, on the jilc nicers, and a. delightful dap was spent. This annual picnic and Insti tute has been held at Sniders for a number of years, and much good has resulted to tbe farmers of the community.

Oowoutteetoaer Watson's Address. B. J Watson, commissioner of agriculture for South Carolina was the second speaker. He began by r ferrtng to the'splendid soli and cli mate of the low country which ho ■aid was not developed. He want ed to see this country awakened from Its Rip Van Winkle sleep— the home of his good friend, Oov. Heyward. There Is no need for the three htd n half million acres o idle land to be la this country. The other counties are awakening and Colleton should bo In line. George town and Hampton counties are awakened In Georgetown county since last October, forty-two square miles have been reclaimed, but three weeks ago tbe first speech Wa made In Hampton county, nod now petitions are on the way to the Clerk of Court seklng to make drainage districts over the entire county.

Smit of the United States Department of Agriculture, and E. J. Watson, com missioner of Agriculture for South Carolina, were especially strong. These gentlemen spoke at the morn ing session. In the afternoon Prof. C. C. Newmr.o Horticulturist, of Clemson College, and Prof. A. F. Conradi, “Bug Man”, made address es. Prof. Newman demonstrated the beneficial wa>a of budding and grafting trees, and urged the Im portance of attention to the gar dens. This address was attentive ly listened to and bad the inter est of hia audience. Prof ConradI’s talk was also moat Interesting and instructive. He discussed with aotn length the wire worm and cotton boll weevil. . He thinks the* by the time it reaches here In a few years ( the farmers frill be in a po sition* to give It a warm welcome. Prof. Conradi spoke interestingly of various other insects and peats. The meeting was presided over by Hon. w/C. Brant who welcomed the audience In a few appropriate and well chosen remarks. Rev. Patrick opened the meeting with prc.yer. I*rof, Hmith’s AdtAvs*. Prof. A. G. Smith said in part': Farmers should use two\ or three horse plows irutead of jhe one horse, because the yield Is so much larger nnd the econoniy of labor is greatly increased. Seven.) in stances were cited where tin*, speak er had made experiment to show that it p.-.vs to break the land deep, by the increased yield. Kxplaining the use of fertilizer. Prof. Smith stated that th<» !u;st ^ plan to follow with corn is to pirt i aliont two hundred ponds per in-^e j when planting, ttnu s the 1; :ul is t i fertile in wliilh ease there should j he no icTtiljzer mmi when planting.• When corn is about knee. high the second application should be made of Mo* to 7'm pounds of high . i oc fertilizi r Nitr ile of soda should lie i.pplied when the corn is begin-, ning ’to tassel, "Do not pull fod- di r.

The seed Iwsl for oats should lie tie p and thoroughly pulverized and e; ts should be planted early in or der that the roots should get firmly established before cold wen t her. Oats may be turned under with disc or smoothing harrow. Two an a half bushels to the acre is the proper amount to Jje used. Speak ing of stumps | PtW. Smith said they should be jtakhn out by all means. A sruncp pttWr is good, but everything considered perhaps the most satisfactory V-method is by using dynamite. Perhaps the greatest need the county has is drainage.' It is all very well to talk of what the Uiiite States Government is doing In the west in the way of Irrigating the lands after rll the only thing is to do this draining yourselves. This has been done in about twenty state* amd can be done here. A law in,.king provisions for drainage in South Carolina wan passed last session of the legislature. The idea of the- law is to create drainage districts, on which bonds are placed which are payed by the persons ben efltted, ne payments , being made before five years, thus enabling the farmers to pay the bonds on prof its made on the land drained. The speaker is proud of South Carolina. Her accomplishments are wonderful. I^i«t year South. Caroli na made 193,000,000, worth of cot ton, more than has ever been made in a year before, and this wee not due to the Increased price but to the increased yield per acre. But if cotton were bringing twenty cents per pound the country would still be In poverty because , it Is all sent off for things which should be made at home. We send out every year $11.- 550,000 per horses and mules, ^or bacon we send 913,000,000, more to the west. This is HtercJlyi thrown away, when It can be raised here at four and a fourth cents per pound. For dairy products we throw awry $12,000,000 every year, when every farmer's wife could ha d her one Jersey cow as a pet and , raise her own butter and cheese. ] South Carolina he« the record for . growing wheat, yet we sett out $90,000,000 for flour, Ttnd for corn, we are almost independent of the fellow out west. If we can raise €.000,000 bushels more of corn, we will not need the western corn gro V er Jerry Moore has been the best advertising asset South Carolina, has ever had. Last year, though, we sent out $6,000,000. For commercial food stuffs, such as horse feed, chickei-, feed, you throw away rJi- other $2,000,000. As for hay here ‘ is where I get sick, $2,000,000 is sent every year. We are throwing away $1,000,000 a year for oats, i Speaking of tin cans, r-nd canned goods, Mr. Watson said he was amazed to go into a store end see everywhere tin cans, all filled up forth or west or everywhere else but whwre it oticht to be. All of this totals up to’ about $72,0(»fi,000, which coftld ju t as well he kept at home, and add to this fl'O.OdY.OOO. wa.-ited for fertil- i/eer which sinfuld lie thken from the air. So if it were not for the corn t rop where would we lie? Mr. Watson said he wa no ene my of cotton, tlmi thV South had in inopolj 1*1 this product,.

Owing to the repeal of the miserable lieu law, the farmed, i he’ State are- ge tting more more independent The t-umber of tenants have decreased ami mor* inde pendam e is felt. In Colleton county statistics show.that the be*ns la>' only two eggs per capita, and you raire only five cents per ci-pita of fruit. The'se conditions rre not what they should be. The roads not passable. It cost more per hun dred pounds to haul cotton front here to Walterboro than from New York to Liverpool, and if the mule could speak,,he would say ten timea aa much.
