And we tee led up to the duties apd responsibilities of 1912. And among all classes of clttsens Is, or akould be the question How can we best meet them? And es pecially so as to preserve the best business interests of the State. Of course conditions owing to the low price of cotton are not what we would like to have them; but It Is not as poor as the mbvt of us •eem to think that it is. When **e take into consideration the great value that has been sdrinl ♦<** ev ery {arm In the State in the way of improved lands, more ard bet ter houses, better stock, awlctiltur al Implements and machinery. In f&ct, there are more and better Equipped farms today in t.ve State than has been In her history, which is a valuable easel to hei future hope and success. The big business Interest of the.State up to date has never handled an acute crisis better. "Now, 1 appeal to the Xormers to acquit >ourselv»s like men to be equal to this emergency that |x upon us. devise every known method of economy and enforce It. l*o not for a moment becot-’e dis couraged. there Is a greater and ^better time for all of us If we will owly mr.’ie it so As to the smount of frotton each farmer is gMng to try and produce that is a matter •he IndKbtually has to deeit1« for himself I am not t;ne of those thal, when disaster .comes to the fsr.’ncr to charge |t up to toe fer- flliser people, und brand them as thie\« * and robbers; hut to the contrary.

A^id my exper ience and observation has !>een with 9feem Is that In any"crisis of the "itfiie wclfj.re. the fertiliser people have always berne their part of th**- burder* ex«-«edlngly well. And will atate rial’* hi re, should some pos sibility arise that would remove ill fertilizer companies out of the State Jicurry 1. 1912, I would go along witty them. To you.

We have persisted in ydi Mug ell eottrn We have re fused to rotate our lands. We have persistently refused to provide our- ae)ves with something to live on. w We have persistently refused tr look after home-made manures and counted on' nJI cotton atvl bought manures to do the business and It has done It. Now, I want to ap peal to every farmer In the State whether he runs one plough or one hundred, to put that derd force on bla farm to work earlp In January to making home manure*.

Hodges, Brownsville, S. C„ Dec. 29. o Why W> H»ve Poor PeMurm And Poor Stock. it is* astounding how many things our climatic or local cor-ditions are made responsible for, by some farmers. If a man puts beef cattle on land where There la no graas, never haa been any grass and no place for grp*s to grow because of briers, brush and weeds, he says our lard la not adapted to growing grass, or the breed of beef cattle is not suitable to our conditions. If a man buya a calf or a pig, and be cause cf not being able to - make celf or pig flesh out of nothing, or out of materials differed from those provided by nature, this calf or pigs fails to make an animal of goed site, and the owner declares that the brted is at fault, that there Is not lime enough |n our soil or that our cUniate is not adapted to the growing of large term ani mals. Pastures ran ha. made, but they do i-it come without effort. They must be planted, fertilised «nd the weed# for non-pasture plants kept doen just i* with other crops. Moreover, If pastured so cloaely tha they ha\e no chance to grow, grass plants die just as corn and cottoi-* would die if cut down close and often. ’ Legumes con-tain sufficient pro tein i-nd protein contains sufficient ash, no matter where grown, to de velop big, atrong-boqed animals If they simply get enough of these le gumes or enough protein. It is not that our legumes do not contain enough ash to make boi-?s,' but that our r-nlmals do not get enough protein. There is nothing In our soil or climate that prevents us growing large and first-class live stock; it Is all in the man.—The Progressive Ftwmer. Why The Houth Should Be The Real Own Hell. The scientists tell us It takes a certain number of heat units to pro duce a corn crop. This means that corn does Its host in a warm climate. Of course, a liberal atiioan of moisture and 6 rich soli, well ftllfd wfth orgai-io matter or hu mus, are also needed. In short, there are about four important fac tors which go to uiske up suitable* conditions for the growing of max imum corn orops: 1. Warm weather, including a moderately high temperature both day and night. 2. A compenlively long scaosn of warm weather, or a long grow ing period. • 3. . ‘'Abundant molstn^e main tained'without tpo great variatlona. An exceaa of moisture r-nd drouth are equally antagonistic to large corn yields. 4. \ deep, loose, fertile soli, well filled with delaylr-g organic matter or humus.
