We cannot overlook the fact that'there are many parents in the county of Colleton today who have failed to realise the fearful re sponsibility of educating the chtM- ren.

These conditions are changing wo are glad .to say. as is evidenced by the great number of districts that are voting on special levies. Hard ly a week passes without a petition being presented to the board of edu* cation to levy educational taxes.

Colleton coun ty II fortunate to have at the head of the demonstration work Mr. B. G. Price, than whom no more en thusiastic and energetic worker could be found. Under his directloiK demonstration work has gone on x apace; and now * Colleton la one of tho foremost counties In the state along "the line of scientific (arming. Mr. Brice has succeeded admiralty in his great work of teaching our people n new agriculture and of pointing the way to agricultural greatness to the future, when, as predicted by thu government ex perts, Colleton countr wilt oecome the home of the cotton boll weevil. I If **W. W. 8." would take a trip through any auction of Colleton county at this time. It wonld not bo UoeesMry for him to ask as to farm demonstration work. Tho crop pros pect as a whula for this county ibis year la far better tn*n It has been to years, and a trip In any portion Of the county would reveal-the fact Dint the farmers, demonstration work or no demonstration work, are alive to their opportunities. Demonstraton work in Colleton eoonty as in every portion of the South, has taken the line of diver sification In crops and soil building, and the large amount of forage crops grown this jrpur together with the enormous number of farmers who are planting cover crops are witnesses sufficient as to the success of the demonstration work. With out all of the facts at hand, the wri ter of this makes the statement .that more cover crops will be plahte<l this fail ifl Colleton than any other pounty in the state. ’Ytiis movement has taken hold of the farmers of Cdltoton. and they have al proved its success. \ In this connection tWetock rais Ing proposition miijt^not be over looked., This ij etfc of the niosr ’ . crative and fYogressive occupations in CoUettm county. today./And th* 1 . are more fufly realizing each the value of scientific methods of dealing with this great work. Al ready. vats for dipping cattle for the P redication off ticks are in use in olleton. ThU also Is, strong evi dence of the, efficiency and value of the demonstration work. Thus, on e-cry hand can be found excellent crops of all kinds.^ < orn and forage crops ar* being* grown extensively. YVintsr covrr crops for stock grazing and soil building arc becoming the rule rather than tbb excep: ton. S‘o‘k raising, is mo.c •progressive and mar * lutraHvc. And. although Coltotoii has. one oi the greatest cotton crops In her history, our people are fast learning that more than cotton is necessary to make a successful farmer,, and In preparation for the ravages of- the boll weevil our farmers are not talking so much cotton, but are bo- xinniitg to prepare ior other paying crops when the boll weevil will | make the raising of cotton very dif ficult. And another thing must not be overlooked. Much tobacco ii be ing grown in Colleton this year. In the neighborhood of old Sirtoakc. more than 10 acr»s are planted this year, and the present indications ar - that the faniH'ra there will realize handsomely* from thh « rv.p.
