S. J. Summers at
CLEMSON COLLEGE.
He Tells Why Farmers Should be Educated,
and What Good Use a Farmer
Can Put an Education
to, Every Younj? Man
Should Read It,
Mr. President, Ladles and Gentlemen;
Realizing, as we do, the excdus of
our young men from the country to |
the towns and cities, and the low esteem
in which farming 1ms been held 1
since the Civil War, let us consider
the causes. When the cry of war
went throughout cur Southland our
men both old and young responded
nobly and as this great struggle continued
and cur ranks were thinned,
our boys answered to the call tilling in
the breaches caused by the death of
their fathers, brothers arid friends.
After four years of this terrible war,
witli all of its disasters, the survivors
returned to their homes, to tind them
in ruin and destruction. Their buildings
were dilapidated; their lands had
grown up in bushes and briars, and
their ditches tilled in. The negro
was free and demoralized. Little, if
any, stock was left and farming implements
scarce.
In view of this spectacle is it at all
remarkable that the survivors of the
Lost Cause became discouragenY And
yet, with that determination which
made them tight as never men fought,
they determined to bring order out 01
chaos,
After struggling for years, trying
to support their families and, at the
same time, give their children such
educational advantages as possible,
they made little progress. Heading
was neglected; homes began to lose
their attractiveness and farming was
considered a drudge Feeling that all f

of the family, their ooys and :
girls were not allowed any pocket 1
money. Ilesldes they neglected to
plant those crops which were neces
sary for the Bupport of the family,
depeuding largely upon cotton to furnish
meaus by which they could buy
grain, hay and meat. This lack of
diversification ar d also the large yields
of cotton, without organization and
protection and placing all of it on the
market very naturally brought the
price so low that is was impossible to
make ends meets. With these facts
staring them in the face, do we wonder
that fathers and mothers, who
loved their children and wisha to
have them relieved of such burdens
and hardships, induced them to leave
me iarm ana enter tne proressions or
seek employment in the cities? The
cities with their many attractions
naturally lured our boys and girls,and
they continued to go until the country
was almost depleted.
But the times have changed. The
farmer after dear experiences, has
learned to diversify. lie is farming
from a rational and reasonable standpoint.
To-day, he is reading aH he
never read before, and we tind more
intelligence among this class of men
than the world ever knew. lie is
educating his boys and girls, and
placing them in such circumstances
as render them the peer of any. He
is improving farm and home, making
them more and more attractive, and
yet we still realize the fact that many
of our young men are leaving the
farms for the various professions,
thinking there is more dignity and
financial gain to be derived therefrom.
They still look upon the farm as re
quiring too much hard work and too
little pay. They do not appreciate
the fact that farming, to bo successful,
requires a good education and I
more scientific knowledge than any
of the professions. Education with
C( mmcn sense and energy properly
directed is the keynote to success.
Aud without these our boys are placed
at a great disadvantage. Fellow farmers,
do not hesitate to give your
boys the best educational advantages,
lor as they enter upon this great work
of farming they will greatly need it.
There never was such a demand for
thorough educated and practical men
on the farm as to date. Now do not
understand me to say that a young
man without a collegiate education
cannot succeed, for some of our best
farmers in our State to day have
never matriculated at a college, but 1
do mean to say, that other things being
equal, the educated youDg man
has by far the greater advantage
Again, education docs not constat of
mere knowledge of books; or, in other
words, theory alone, but the truly
educated man is the one who has
studied, observed and read and can
make practical application of what be
has learned. Some of the greatest
men of the past were self educated.
So, gentlemen, education in the true
sense consists of that power to reason
and draw conclusions which are actual
facts; and success Is to put these facts
Into practical use. Where have we
a broader Held for knowledge than on
the farm where we oome In contact
day by day with nature and her marvelous
works? Where may we study'
the soil with its various
and plant life as the ohcmloal changes
take place thereby feeding upon the
elements and developing Into a thing
of beauty aDd profit? Iu what pro
fession Is Chemistry, Botany, Bacterlology
and Materia- Medlca more need
ed than that of farming? When we
look into nature and see her great
works and prepare ourselves to solve
these problems in such a manner as
to be able to assist her In bringing
about the proper changes and condl
tlons to accomplish the greatest results,
then and only then shall we become
Intelligent and successful farmers.
Then may we expect results
such as the world has, never before
witnessed.
And now, young gentlemen, will
you look upon farming as a calling of
low degree? Will you say any kind
of a man can farm, but It takes a man
of brains to enter the professions?
Will you say that education is more
essential in the professions than In
farming. Will you say that farming
does not hold cut the inducements
for higher mental development than
the professions? Will you say that
aneducatiou is wasted when we settle
upon the farm and spend our energies
there? Gentlemen, there is no
profession that has made greater
strides within the past five years than
farming. Where our lauds used to
produce 10 to 15 bushels of corn per
icre they are now made to produce
fiom 30 to 40 bushels. Where 300
ibs. of seed cotton was produced per
lore to-day we gather from 1000 to
1000 hundred pounds and where we
lever made any before, we now Ree
'rom one to two tous per aero raised.
The farmer has real zed that he can
io longer farm with the ox and old
wooden plow stock with a half shovel
)T two. To day, he takes from two
so three large mules with a*i iron
jearn turn plow or a sulky plow to
prepare his lands. One hand and two
food mules do the work now that was i
ormerly done by four hands and four i
nuks. Where stumps were formerly i
)umt or dug out, requiring so much
;lme, atid then the work improperly i
lone; to day we use a good stump mashine
with two heavy mules and clear ,
die ground of all parts of the stump
Where it took one hand with a stick
:-o knock one acre of cotton stalks,
we now take a hand, two mules and a
?ood chopper which will go over eight
tores per day and do the work far bet- i
ser. Where we used to chop, pick up
pile and burn the corn stalks, we now
with one of the large turn plows turn
them under making humus in the soil.
Not a few have realized the gain by
shocking, shredding and making the
whole corn stalk into stover, which
furnishes an abundance of dry food,
us well as litter for bedding. In the
place of scratching our lands two to
three inches deep iu preparation, we
turn or open theru six to seven indies
deep and follow with a subsoil breaking
to a depth of from twelve to iif
teen inches, lustead of plowing
when the 8:11 is wet, making brick
bats, we plow when the soil is dry,
making a deep, tine seed bed. instead
of fertilizing to make a large
weed, we are combining ( ur fertilizers
in such a way as to yield fruit, instead
of placing the same kind of fertilizers
on all soils, we study our soils
and U3e such fertilizers as will give
best results.
Again, in the selection of seed v/e
have realized the importance of selecting
those kinds each year that will
give best results. In Iowa, a country
school teacher began by planting a
small patch of corn and instructing
hi? pupils in the preparation of soli,
using select seed and being careful in
cultivation. At first he was laughed
at but soon his wonderful results
showed forth and he was ere long not
only elected professor of Agriculture
In the State College, but was employed
by the State to travel frcm place
to place, giving instructions from a
special train provided for that purpose.
To-day, gentlemen, projecting
from the instruction of this country
school teacbei the yield of corn per
acre has been more than doubled
hhrnncrhnnt t.h? i? luif
an example of what can be done with
all plants throughout our country.
Scuth Carolina, a few years since, produced
the largest yield of corn per
acre that has ever been raisrd in the
world. Think of producing 25(5 bushels
of corn per acre! No v f this is
possible on land that had the advantage
of being watered, can we not ly
proper preparation, fertil.'z itton an<
cultivation bring our lands up to 75
bushels per acre? While we are advancing
we are still at the great
threshold of true farming.
We have a climate unsurpassed by
any in the world. Not only can we
grow almost any crop, but we have
the advantage of raising ail kinds of
stock. Think of the cold North West
locked up In snow from three to tive
months during the >ear and yet we
buy our horses and mules from them.
Is it not a reflection upon us wheu we
give from $200 to $2.50 for a mule or
horse when we can raise that mule or
horse here for $100? There are a few
men in our state from whose eyes the
veil has fallen and they can show today
as One mules raised hore as the
West can produce.
Again, how many there are of us
who depend upon the West to furnish
us our bacon. Here, by exercising
proper Judgement, we may feed our
hogs nine mouths in the year from
the fields, using comparatively little
grain from our houses; certainly we
can produce meat much cheaper than
we buy it. In the same way we may
produce as fine quality of hay as the
West and as muoh as we use from
our own fields, and at the same time
improving our soil. We must learn
the importance of making on our
farms all or ,very near all that we use
Ip our bamta. We must live at home.
iZm
her cotton and the market give us
ten cents for this cottoa and we can
afford to bu? our grain, hay and bacon
from the West. A greater mistake
was never made. It Is true we do
not want to compete with the West
for the sale of corn and hay, but we
do want to tupply all that we need
and have a small surplus to sell in
our markets. By this method we may
supply ourselves with pocket ohauge,
keeping down the running expenses
and making our cotton altogether a
surplus crop. Let us see, for instance,
what can be done aloDg this line,
liaise enough grain to supply your
farm and stock; make enough meat
for your family and servants with a
few (x ra hams and several gallons of
i&ra to sell; raise enough initio to hell
two or three good heaves a year; an
occasional lamb, a nice lot of wool,
oue or two dozen kids, one or two dozen
turkeys, chickens and eggs; and
you will llnd that these with the
other hurplus you do not need will
amount to a considerable sum. The
trouble has been and Htill with us In
that we do not value the dimes
thinking only of the dollars, Again
we think ourselves above caring for
and marketing these produots.
Neither education nor anything else
should ever make us codslder ourselves
too good to work, and the sensible
practical man will not be thus affected.
Let us see what can be done toward
Improving iu?- stock and manufacturing
our own fertilizers In the place
of the old re zor-back hog which re
iiuircd a weather boarded fence to
hold It and requiring two years to
weigh one hundri d and fifty pounds,
we now have our improved breeds,
that easily make from 250 350 pounds
In twelve months. Our sheep are im
proved ho that they produce twice as
much mutton and wuol in a given
time; end cur cattle are such that
even the most fastidious will be pi as
od to Ree them. While ( ur fori parents
kept their cows and other stock
lu an open pen orlotixpoeed to the
severe rains and storms iff the winter,
we have learned the importance of
giving them good stables and sufficient
food, thereby causing them to give
more milk and the young to grow
rapidly. Ilesldes that they act as a
fertilizer factory, converting the food
, . I 4- I i ? ~ -
given unuiu iuLu <i manure Lnai. not
only gives temporary bpt lasting re
suits. The stable manure from a cow
well fed and sheltered will pay for all
that Is fed to her, giving you the
offspring and milk extra. Our
sheep will give a lamb which will
bring In from $;>. to $1. by June
besides from live to seven pounds
of undressed well that Is worth thirty
cents per pound. Our goats will pro
duce from two to four kids per year
that will bring an avorage of seventy
live cents a piece at six months with
comparatively little cost.. In fact,
they develop a pasture by destroying
brushes and briers that other animals
will not eat. And yet so may say
these animals do not pay.
We hear the complaint that we
have no pastures for these animals;
that wo fence In a large place but
they starve to death, unless we feed
them frc m our barns. This Is true
unless we prepare pastures. Can y< u
expect grass to grow where trees are
thick that sunshine never reaches the

go to work and clear out the branches
and we will not only have, a pasture
tit for our stock and a delight to gaze
upon, but we will have a nice lot cf
wood to lend cheer and comfort to
our homes during the winter months.
These pastures will then give us na
tive grasses or may be set in bermuda
and fertilizing will surprise you as to
results.
Then we have the advantage of a
good orchard furnishing fresh fruits
for a table ai d canning purpost s. Our
vegetable gardens furnish fresh, tender,
wholesome vegetable-), which do
honor to the table of a king. Wo also
have fresh, luscious, wholesome
melons.
Now, gentlemen, we have erd^av
ored to show you what we can ar c!
are doing in reference to our crops,
but we also want to show the advantage
in uneking a home and raising a
family. We are not placed here in
this world to make a &U( cess from a
tinancial standpoint alune, but to
measure up to the requirements from
a physical, mental and spiritual
standpoint. You know that 1 ealtb
and the promotion of the physical
powers are advanced by the pure
courtry air and water. Outdoor ex
ercise develop.} the muscles, bringing
about health and comfort. Tiiese

ferred tes cuing a country boy because
he grasped ideas more readily and
showed broader mental capacity.
From a spiritual standpoint, we know
that the country boy i* not surrounded
by so many irslcilous intluences
unless evil tendenoes are Inherited.
Profanity is rarely heard, drunkenness
seldom seen, and the whole atmosphere
is filled with that which
tends to uplift. The mother rarely
looses sight of her children and there
are no attractions to Induce them
away from their homes. The father
is more Intimately associated with
his ohlldron, giving them the advantage
of his presenoe and he in turn
learning lessons of wisdom from them.
Let us look at the expenses of llv
lng In the country as compared with
that of the olty. In the city, comparatively
few own houses, most of
them having to pay rents. Suppose
the young man receives a good salary
In the city, by the time he pays his
board or rent, with other expenses of
living att&ohed, he is left with very
little or no profit. We do not take
Into consideration the oost of living

surplus ? It is nob whab we make but
what we save that add* to our account.
Recently, a resident of Charleston,
S. C. said It cost $5 00 extra
to have company at tea and then,
said he, we do not have such suppers
as you country people have.
How few of us appreciate the capabilities
of our ohildren. Give your
boy a hen or a sow, or both with a
small patch of ground for a crop, half
of the produce for food and labor
furnished and he to sell the other and
buy clothes or suoh things as he may
need. You will find him taking an
interest in this work surpassing your
most sanguine expectations, nob ins
tiling in htm the lessons of work and
independence but at the same time
Having you the expense of clothing
him. In fact it is a grand investment
for you as well as a schooling
for the boy. He soon learns to love
this work and becomes interested in
the farm, imoiblng those qualities
that will make him a successful and
useful citizen. We give too little attention
to the development of our
children along these lines. Early
impressions are the most la-ting, and
such work will occupy their spare time
ins teed of having them waste it in

I confess our social advantages have
been limited, tut these are Improved
by the R. F, I), and telephone. While
the countryman formerly received his
mail but once a week, now It comes
to him daiiy. Hence he Is interested
In what is going on in the world and i
now looks forward to the coming of
his mail with great delight. Ills
mental powers are being cultivated
and it is but a question of a very short
time before our farmers will be well
posted in current events. Then we
may look forward to renewed energy
and zial in every department of socle i
t.y and government. Who can predict
the advantages of the telephone,
especially to country life. We iind
the farmer standing in his home talk- I
ing with the merchant miles away and
even getting reports direct from the i
great markets. This places him in a j
p sition to sell aud buy Intelligently.
He no longer waits for his neighbor
to bring the news from the city once i
a week but Is in daily contact with it. i
Now, gentlemen, we come to the
point where our farmers are no longer
slumbering but bare opened their eyes 1
to existing chcumstances and have !
organized to protect themselves 1
agaiust the speculators who sit down
and appropiate the profits that should 1
Justly go to Ihe producer. We do not
propo.->e to forget or oppose our city
brother but on the contrary what Is
for the welfare of the farmer is for I
the good of ( ur towns. Depress the
farmer, keep him poor and our cities
will never grow. Do away with the
farmer and soon our cities will grow
up in weeds. Truly the farm is the
backbone of the country. Take that
away and we tind a limp man, lecap
able of work and soon death follows.
Show me tine farms aud I will show
ycu progressive towns. In this organization,
we nerd men of education,
men who are leaders. We need men
who are not afraid of opposition, but
who, seeing the tight, will stand up
for It In the faoe of all ditlleulty. We
need men of brains to guide us in this
great work and when once thoroughly
organized the farmer will reap benefits
beyond his most sanguiue dreams
It was said that we cr u'd not organize.
Our movement was laughed at
and ridiculed, but, gentlemen, the
world has been surprised at our sue
cess and strength. Our Southland
has bad millions already br( ught hf re
by this movement. Hy good iudg
raent and hard work, who can predict
what the next two years will accomplish?
It has been askad by one present,
''What chance is there for a young
man who has a good education but no
money on the farm?'' I answer there
is every chance. Let him work for
wage* or rent a small piece of land
and ccononu'ze until he has saved
enough to buy a small farm of his
own, then go to work to build up that
farm and a home, using intelligence
In the location of his house and the '
placing of trees, and it will not be
lorg before he will have a home that
will indeed be a pleasure. Let us describe
a home as It should be aud can

to work.
lie buys a piece of land, perhaps 1
poor a< d badly washed. To the casual 1
observer there is no attraction or inducement
in It, but this young man
goes to work, determined to succeed

from the road to give him several

interfere with the growth of the trees.
As the crop is worked the trees are

a growth that is remarkable. After
seven to ten years when the trees
come in*bearing and crops will no
longer do well, he sets out the inter
vening spaces in evergreens and sows
or plants the plot in bermuda grass.
After a year or two more he uses his
mowing machine, which consists of
several tine calves and his lawn becomes
a thing of beauty and pleasure.
Just to the front of his house he puts
out roses etc., which make his heart
rejoice as well as perfume the whole
houie with their sweetness. His back
yard also has been set with peean
and Japan walnuts, whloh make
