IMPORTAfiCF OF DRAINAGE
The Farm Today Offers the Greatest
Possibilities to the Future Genera
tion Than Any Other Avocation.?A
Thoughtful Paper by a Practical
Farmer.
Mr Editor:?It was verv kind in
you to print my last article on farming,
1 sincerly thank you for the
prominent place you gave it in your
papor. It was so encouraging that
I am writing another on "farming."
Scientific farming is the most beautiful
thing in the world when done on
business bases, by business peop'e
H'arming is making greater strides
than any other profession of to day
It is wholy due to the several organizations,
viz; "Farmers' Demonstrations,"
"Farmers' Union," "]3i)ys
Corn Club," etc. Young men no
iongcr seek the cities for employment
and amusement. "Btck to
the soil," is their motto, and "Get
up Logan,', is the pass word. Farmers
are adopting the use of implements
instead of scraching over
their lands with the, bull tongue and
mnlo 1 \ I /1 txj u lt.it. fnvinf?r? fni*
UI1U LI4 Ult j/iu ?? O* v AW?
the "lands sake" let those old sand
hills that your fathers' wore out
rest, or use them for pasture. Cultivate
the vast acres of low land that
is now lying in waste.^ To get about
this properly would be to arrange
drainage leagues as other States
have done. Each member bond,
tax or mortgage his swamp land
for funds, form a corporation within
yourselves and let out contracts
to competent engineers who are already
equipped, appoint a competent
delegation to obtain aid and
advice from the legislature. This
would be a decissive improvement to
public health as well as public
wealth.
1 was speaking to man a few days
ago that owns a good deal of swamp
land. He said he would give one
half of his swamp land for the other
half to be properly drained. If the
' people will properly organize themselves,
they can get this improvement
with little cost, when compared
to the profit. Anyone that is
interested in this, and would Jike
information can obtain it by writing
Congress for the "North Carolina
Drainage Law" which is published
in pamplet form and also very
widely distributed.
The farm, today, ofTers the greatest
possibilities to the future generation.
A farm home can be made
the dullest place in the world, or it
can be made the brightest, and surely
it is the healthest.
I want every one that reads this
article, to ask himself, "What am I
doing for a better crop next, year?"
and let mo hear from him through
the Herald, our old reliable paper.

A Letter From Florida.
I ditor Herald: Please allow me
j;pa<e in your highly esteemed paper
for a few items from this old
town. j
The health of the people through
this section is very good.
Miss Elsie Tillman, our daughter,
who has been visiting relatives in
Macon aud other points in Georgia,
has returned and resumed her position
with Mrs Dr Dcw.te Webb
in St Augustine.
The N jrtheraers are beginning to
drift io from the cold, snowy couu
try to the sunny south wnere iney |
will spend ihe winter free from
'winter and very little frost.
The great hurricane which swept
through the Florida coast did great
damage to the truck and fruit growers
and the writer of this article
was one of the sufferers, Not only
the truckers suffered, but great
damage was done to the towns, roil
roads and telegraph lines all along
the coast.
Mr Editor, I would like to say a
few words in regard to Mr J. H.
Stanley's letter from Loris on school
matters. I er j >y reading a good
letter from those good old Horry
men who feel and take so much interest
in their country and in doing
things right, and I am sure that Mr
Stanley's plan in schooling a child
is right. 1 do not think a child
should ever be excited in school.
When I was a little boy about eight
years of age, Mr J. H. Stanley
learned me the alphabet in a little
old log school house at Daisy now,
but at that day and time it was called
Cartersville. I only went a few
days to Mr Stanley and I did net
get any more schooling for a good
while, not until I was eleven or
twelve years old, then my Uncle,
S, W. Vaught, taught ran in Buck
Creek township near Hulls Island
That was only a three months term
and I only went a part of that, and
that was the only schooling I ever
got and I never took up a pen and
ink, arithmetic or any hing else except
the old blue back spelliug book.
After I was twenty-one I started
out to travel, then I began to see
the great mistake 1 had made I
could hardly scrible my name so that
it could be understood. I began
teaching mvself and by p" fice
have got to where I am now. > am
not any too far advanced now, If I
had my days to go over again I
would try to get ray share of schooling.
Let me tell you little children
and big children too. Go to school
every opportunity you have and if
your teacher doesn't just suit you,
stick to him anyway until you can
do better, for a poor teacher is better
than none at all.
Well, Mr Editor, just a few words
~ i 4. 1 r ??I,.,}
auuu u ^uuu roaus. i am ^iau iu
know that tho good people of old
Horry are striking so faithfully after
good roads, for good roads is
the upbuilding of anv county or
State I hope the good communities
of Horry will keep hammering uutil
they get them.
1 hope to hear from some of the
other correspondents of tho Herald,
as it is a welcome visitor to my hon c
every Friday afternoon aud I enjoy
reading a letter fro n any Horry
friend let him reside wherever ho
may.
If this letter escapes the was'e
basket you may hear from me again.
I will close by saying kindest regards
to the Herald and its many
readers.
