W. W. Long. State agent of the farm demonstration work, and while it was not known at the time that District Agent Elliott would* e here, he'came also, and mad* one of the most practical talks on win ter cover crops ever given in this county. The audience - greeting thfse speakers was woefully small, but these gentlemen did not seem *o mind that fact and :*.ey went ahead , with their addresses the same as it there had been an^ and fence of sev eral hundred. The main burden of the address by Mr. Elliott was soil building through the use of. legumes and winter covpr crops, and as a re sult of his speech orders were plac ed with him for a considerable quantity of bur clover seed and a number of the farmers present ex pressed a determination to plant this as a winter cover corp, Mr. la>ng stressed the importance of raising live stock and lie has offered all the aid- he can to get'*the farmers of this county started in this work.

Mr. Long advises against attemp' just now to raise pure bred stofk. because lie says our people are nor ready for it. He thinks a start should be made with a pure bred bull, and a study made of the.live^ ' $tock industy. He thinks perhaps- a greater success will be made fo*- the present with bogs than with cattle, but there is room for the in troduction of pure bred sires all over this country. ••Today.” said 'Mr. Long, “two men are leaving the Piedmont with $23,5CK> to buy 100 pure bred bulls in the west. They will - buy. Here ford bulls and these w4H be brought bark and used in this section of the state, but you people^down here have 5<> per rent better facilities tor raising live stork .than they have in this up country.” Markets at H«»nic . , “The live stock industry must be deve lop 'd through khe i mall far mer.” declared Mr. Lame. “And ;o do this it is Tiecessary to bring th« buyer to the seller.” .He Ihen ex plain* d the fight, lie had made to get representatives from the north ern, markets to colive to South Ca,r lina to huy,H\e sto«k. beei* arranged that the sixAnarket places in South Caroiff: and one of these, is to b* lesion Greenwood last year, and / their visit was entirely -safi^factoty.

Mr. Elliott ai .o teferr-d to the • matter of seed breeding, and stated lliat he wished to secure iwelv- oi; fifteen farmers to •«*le'ct *>•• or -M# ears of corn just alike, and of the beat they can find, / and keep care fully till .next\sp--ing. planting /hen row with each /oar and keeping careful record, nb as to select the.' seed again front the best rows. Ity * doing this and improving th“ seed, Mr. Elliott believe* that in f've years the yield of corn in this .- county can he increased at least ten . bushels per aqre. " - Mr. Elliott wa^ frequently in«''r- ruptc*d with questions from the ni^- •t’ience and very great interest was tuanifestod in his addreK Hon. W. \V. Long Spf^ak-. The next speaker was Hon. \N \V. Long. State farm demonstra‘tm agent, whose address dealth almost exclusively with the live stock in dustry in this state.' He began by unoting figures to show that there are not in South Carolina now ot»-r r.O per cent as much live sloes as there was in In Ifliid there were l'*8,b00. milk, rows: in UIO, 167,000. In I860 there were 1.063.- «»0) hogs: in 1910. 670,000. *ti 1850 there wer e?38000 sheep: in 1910. 27,000. “In the face of these eonditions,” said Mr. Long, “it is time to take up the matter of live fdpek In, South Carolina. It must be remembered that the population of the State now is almost a million more than it was In 1850, and yef we have only 50 per cent as much live stock as there was then.” # But Mr. Long warned that thi* wtate can never become purely a live vtock state like they are out west, nor can we hope to become a grain country like they art otjyi we** South Carolina has been intended by Providence as a cotton produc'pg ^♦ute. but hot, a one-crop state. *‘Whnt *e ne-ed.” said the speaker.
