Il is wry important 1. to South Carolina aivricult ure that they remain so. In older to prevent the introduction of these diseases tar mers should, whenever possible, save their own seed, selecting for this purpose the choice i plants in I lie crop. The botany division intends, from | time to time to%call attention brietlx to some of the crop- of this lac which can be protected from i'oreii?n diseases by tho use of home grown seed.

It is not difficult to raise tobacco seed, \ lew plants, if allowed to mainre their seed, will produce enough to plant a crop. Get a good strain of tobacco and raise your own seed from >i>ui own choicest, healthy plants.

Plant a rust-resistant variety of beans for the fall crop. WEANING PIGS Clemson College.?A very common ' mistake to wean pigs at six weeks t of age. This not only stunts the pigs but it increases the percentage of mortality as well as the cost of gain. Pigs should not be weaned before they are eight weeks old. If they are purebred it is sometimes advisable to leave them with the sow until ten f weeks old, according to the animal husbandry specialists of the college. I I It is important that pigs be taught to cat before they are weaned. They ;l first learn to eat with their mothers, starting when about two weeks of age. - Later they should be fed in a creep. In this way pigs may he weaned withs out being stunted. It is advisable to take the sow from the pigs rather than take the pigs from the sow. o Timid suggestion to those who eat: One way to increase our appreciation . of the farmer's importance in the i general scheme of things is to reflect that the food with which to feed the v world for the next thirty days is not y yet produced. :: "a \ I states < 1 - i uaiiuiiai ?f the trade : the tobacco belt J The leading : Association ? and plan j: *low yhacco growers, : ^ jj r the solution of :: O L I I OGIATION V.W.W.V.V.VAVWJWAW? ?

Through the newspapers of South Carolina Myrtle Beach, pride of I lorry county, has been made known to thousands who probably have never before heard of its excellence as a beach resort. There m.uy be some in the number, and doubtless are, who really had never heard of the place before at all. Marion, Conway, Ay nor and Galli vatit's Ferry have also been brought strongly into the limelight. It was a happy thought which end ed in the bringing together of the newspaper men of the state .and the great people who are developing uch a wonderfully blessed region into a Garden of Eden. Always have the possibilities been there, the Lord has made Horry a favored county, and it has needed only an awakening on the part of its people and the means, too, of letting the/world know just what they had. It was good for the new paper men. too, this gathering at My) tie Beach. They not only had the best time of their lives but their vision was considerably broadened, and they went home conscious of the fact that the lines of South Carolina are not restricted to the heretofore beaten path,. Almost without exception the editors who attended the 47th annual convention of the South Carolina Press Association, have written fine things about their trip, the people they met, and the whole-souled hospitality with which they were every where received from the historic <?'d town of Marion right down t<> ihe rolling waves themselves.

Many of tho newspapers of South Carolina have wide circulations that are not confined to the sections in which they are published, but reach out into several adjoining; states. The story of Myrtle Beach's attractions, therefore has gone far and wide and ?he advertising it has received will bo productive of jrood results for years lr come. As Mr. Rail said in the Columbia State, Myrtle Beach has been actually known to few outside of this section but he added that the people of the Pee Dee knew it well. They do know it well, and it has come to be as mucl" their beach as Horry's. For that reason there would be waste of time ii telling: about the beach to the pe< pic who will read these lines. Suffice i to say that the development of thi.{ splendid beach is going on at a mar velous rate and we are told by lead ers of the corporation responsible foi the enterprise that it has only start ed. In a few years, it is confidently predicted, Myrtle Beach will be th< Atlantic City of this part of' the conn try. The beach is there, the finest f'o surf bathing it has been stnfed, oi the Atlantic coast; miles and mile o " ' - '1 -i- ! r i ; ,,i ilir. caa will u, sireicnin^ '-11 1,1,1 """ * " a slope so gradual as scarcely to l>< noticed. It is only necessary to built the things on the beach which go t< make a place of tins sort .-ought bj those on pleasure bent and by thos< who would rest awhile from arduon labors, all the while soothed by tin rolling waters of the Atlantic. As has been stated, the work o building' is now gointr on, not merelj building of houses, but the transfor mation of a naturally blessed loc; tioi into a great seashore resort. This i: the aim of the Myrtle tteach Faim: Corporation which owns and operate: the Myrtle Beach Hotel, and owns ir t FLUES I if For Curing !

Mr. Bryan is the manage; of the corporation. What he has already accomplished is an earne it of I ho future for Myrtle Beach. Lacking before liar, been advertising. Mr. Hryan would do well not to let the advantages of the present deluge of publicity about the beach die out before following it up with .a consistent campaign. We suv this because we are interested in the success of Myrile Uracil. All Florence, Marion, the Pee Dec* section, in fact, is inter ested in its success because it is to Myrtle Reach that we look for our pleasure; it i to Myrtle Beach that we want to go hereafter when the call >f the waves becomes too strong to be resisted. And naturally we w.ant to ;ee it prow hip. It takes people to make any sort of place likeable. Ff all the finest holies; pavilion*, orchestras, riding "jinneys," steeplechases, dance halls, and wh it not, from all of the finest beach resort in the world were dumped on Myrtle Reach and nobody was there to nvike merry with them, of what use would they he? People like to congregate, they take delight in seeinf other people enjoy themselves; so the nexi step will he to people the heaili. Not that there are uot many folk there now, and will he all summer , but we are talking about the great throngs of the future, when Wyrile Reach corner into its own. One of the greatest boosts for Myrtle Reach will he the completion of the bridge across the Pee Oee River.

I hai is something worth thinking bout as i' means that wc wiil soon have the ocean at our doors'. One of the gieate I advantages of Horry rounty s resort is tlie fact that there are no marches or creeks surrounding i;. It gives one a mighty comfortable leelinv; to know that one is on soiid ground, and that if the winds whip iho waves into fury and send tlieni rolling on and on, past the treat dnnos, dashing them into and over n? \ house, as we have seen them, there is safety \ behind and no creek or mar li is there to imprison one. As for the surf it seems rr.ore gentle and invigorating there than iuiytv'here elre, and the br?ezes too ire cooler and fresher. All in ail Mvrtle Beach is ideal and our l>ope i < that the yreat corporation in control of it will not lag in its work of development. The possibilities are too great to lie overlooked in the lii'hte t particular. One of these is the matter ol hotel accommodations. It cannot truthfully be said that these are worthy of Myrtle Beacn. It would eem to us that immediate attention to uch an important particular as caring for guests after they reach the beach would not: be out of piace. All of the jeople wh.? want to go there cannot have cottages, nor can they all he members of the sp'en, did Mvrtle Beach Yacnt Ciub. They must stop somewhere and to the hotel ti es mu t ico. Not having stopped at the Myrtle Beach Hotel since 1906 we cannot peak for ou?'se:ve.?, but will recite the (Ireenville News which dismi e; this important pai t of its beach de-cription with the remark , "ihere i a hotel similar in age Mid condition to the one at < aesar's Head.
