_i the Need Fot Credits or Cl A Ringing Message by H. S. Moble Farmer's Union? and One of Leaders of Org There is a difference between com mercial banking and agricultural banking-a great difference. In Amer ica we do not recognize lt, but in the older countries o? the world it is ire cognised, plainly recognized. It ls written in their political and finan cial history, that agriculture can not live under the. same system ot finance. that commerce and manufactures can and I am going further and say to ?rou that there has never been a time n the history of agriculture when ag riculture was forced to maintain it self under the same system of banking and finance aa commerce and manu factures that it has progressed. irvj Hence other countries .than, ours haye evolved and .had in operation' for years many and Varied "different' sys tems of agricultural finance, separate entirely at practically all points from their financial and. from their manu facturing finances. They have rural credits and then they have their com mercial banks which carry commerce and manufactures. . Thoy have their agricultural banks that carry; tho hi-, vestment* and'the personal credits of the agricultural-classes, and the ag ricultural classes have their equality of integrity and opportunity to deal among themselves, and it is so regu lated that one man has'but Very lit tle opportunity to take advantage of the other man, and so men of equal ability deal with each other and the consequence is that fairnea ^sexists. In America we have been 'compelled to try to carry on the great occupa tion of farming by dealing with com mercial banks to do that, farming. Now it is a known fact that in mod ern times agriculture will not pay over 5 per cent, on the investment, and yet in the South we are paying at least 10 to. 15 per cent, for our finan cial assistance and we are getting but little ot that assistance:from the com mercial banks. We are paying, any where-now listen to me, for I am telling you tho truth-we are paying anywhere from 50 to 200 per . cent for commercial: backing, on a; ii business ' that scientifically is said and .accepted by the authorities'of; the world will not pay over. 5 per cent . ?Can you wonder that the .farms'are gully-washed? Can you wonder that the farm-homes are 'dilapidated?* Can you. wonder that the country schools are poor, uninviting and monstrosities of ca?3=e55, gl?nding by thc ?ida ol the road, tho most desolate places in the country outside of the graveyard, bocauso the;wealth of the community there, brought out of the ground by. the sweat' of those people? ls. diverted from them through this 50 to 200 per cent of merchant's tax '" placed on them, and this enormous 10 to 15 per cent tax of interest put upon them - by the commercial banks? This ls true In the-'South. The essence or the wholes thing, ls just "this:- A commercial banker on demand has to instantly find, money to pay his depositors ; he agree 3 to do lt When you give him a deposit there ls not a word, said but the spirit and. life, and law of; the insti tution are that you can go back in. tho next five mi nu too andi draw it out again: without a word being said. In other words, it ls. a demand payment the banker receives from you.as a der;, posit, unless you nisKo a contract, with him for a time deposit That be- ; log true, these banka can not. in the very nature, of their lives, and in the' very nature qt thou? law, and the.Very-! nature: of their, being, make long-time Ipabs, - ' " ?

ELEVATOR SYSTEM AN AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT DISCUSSED REQUIRE MENTS 4 i ' GRAIN NEEDED Expert Describee Conditions of Success in Q \ntity Storage Rates. . One ot the interesting features of the grain campaign -which has been started in-this State is the address by : A. Q. Smith to the farmers. Mr. Smith not only is an authority on farm management and is an agrlcul Iturlts bf distinction, but he is also a native'of the corn belt, and'having spent his youth and having been edu cated there, his views on the Question ? are doubly valuable. In reply to < ; Questions in a number of towns he 'has said that there ls a profit in.corn, BO proved by the .success of the II Ilinois farmers^! The farmer there gets 'Sn average of 55 to.60 ?;ents a bushel for his corn, but be bas no fertilizer bill to speak of. However,-he has but the one crop a year, whereas . the thrifty and Industrious Southern far ? mer-may produce two crops of dif i feront kinds, the one fertilizing the . other, and and each makng a profit j The Western farmer on his corn alone makes a profit When Ute price "of corn occasionally runs too low tor him to mako a profit, he U3es bogs as a Bide crop, and In "this way insures his profit, for the hogs fatten on the grain on. which there would be no ' profit and: there is good profit in hogs in that manner. < As to Elevators, ? When asked at several places about the advisability of an elevator system, Mr. Smith has. stated that hts idea fa that an elevator for the handling of grain would be impracticable unless I the farmers in the contiguous territory .should agree to produce for th? eleva tor-, 100,006 bushels; over, and above their own requirements. Very frankly, ' Mr. Smith- stated that there is no de mand for elevators in every corner of the-State and some placea will, take a risk-in building unless'there:1s a.deflr. nlte -understanding among tho fann ers to produce the grain. In some Bec- ' . tiona It' was reported that tho farm ers had said that-they would plant if (hey had a market, showing that there ls no unuuibtandiug beiwee? them amt Ith? local dealerg.. ' Until there is some euch understanding, said; Mr. Smith, the proposition Is danger-i jous. ". -'- r. .;..>..?..; . : ,'' .

Unless there is a definite understanding, between tho , fermer? sad the owners^ there might I ; be : elevators and. no grain. It is Just' the same, thing aa the starting of .

TREATED Every I'armor Who linn Pmlt Trees Will Fina Helpful Things In ?PracUeslcPruuIns.'' / CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nor. 26. - "Pruning," says F. J. ender, associate horticulturalist of Clemson 'College, in the beginning of,, Bulletin No. 167, Practical "Orachard Pruning, ot, the South Carolina Experiment Station, is one of the most important opera tions in tho. successful handling of any orchard and lt is very essential where the best results are desired from any fruit plant. Unless pro perly pruned, no fruit tree or vine oi any ??ort will produce fruit of maximum size, color or quality, nor attain a full and proportionate de velopment of its wood parts. The number- of unprimed orchards all over our state furnish striking exam ples of these facts. They fall to give profitable returns in many casca for no other reason than that they are allowed to remain from year to year without being pruned. "This. condition is generally de plored by the owners and exista not from an absence of good inten tions on their part but on account of a lack of definite -knowledge of how to prune and the , benefits to be de rived from this practice. I believe there is no person who makes any attempt ht growing fruit who j does not desire to produce the .best It is our purpose therefore, in this work to point out in a concise, practictal way, the fundamental principles of pruning and the methods of pruning the leading fruits of Snith Carolina that will best serve the needs of the fruit grower and the gerenal farmer." Prof. did er's bulletin is ono of the most thorough handbooks on prun ing ever issued.by an agricultural college for free distribution.

Irish potatoes. Mr. Smith anyB that . the best. Information obtainable on the subject advises cutting the seed potatoes and rolling them in air- ! slacked lime and planting deep. The 1 lime, it ?B stated, will prevent the po- 1 tato rotting and the dep planting will 1 protect it from freezing. Cotton seed J meal only b'iould bo used to f?rtil- 1 ize Irish potatoes now.. Mr. Smith' says that tbo Irish Cobbler ls the best 1 variety of p?telo for planting at this i time ojf. iii?? year, though the Blls* I ls well adapted to this section. . 1 . Not only is it time for planting ' peas and potatoes, Bays Mr. Smith, but I it is the proper time for.putting out ? cabbage and lettuce plants. I v Seed Wheat Scarce. ! Continuing his talk od the . subject' , of seeds, Mr. Smith steted that wheat j can be planted in this section, un th ? the latter part- of December. . Seed ? wheat in thia end adjoining counties Is particularly scarce, recently he j spent four, days touring Oconee, Pick. . ens and Anderson counties in search , of seed'Wheat and.-was able ?to purv . chase> only 12 ! bushels. Ho says that ; the demand for seed wheat in heavy j in all parts Ot the country and espe cially the.lower part of this state. l?o ; declares that-there pre not more than ten farmers in the county who plant .wheat. Every year South Carolina j sends out ot the stete Borne twenty m i li i-.i ns of dollars for .flour and yet South" Carolina raised wheat is a. bctisr food; produc? ?.nan the ,Weatem Wheat; lie says. Mr. Smith has been receiving seed wheat from Christian , county, Kentucky. Mr. Smith also states, that a con siderable quantity qf soghum cane io ? going to be planted in Anderson ..county this year, judging from, the number of inquiries he has received = about cane seed. There are two var ieties, well adapted for this suction. . he states, the sugar, drip and the Jap- . anese ribbon. It Takes Time and Intelligent Effort ot Readjust a Cropping System? - A reorganization or rearrangement mont of Southern cropping is a neces sity, not alone, because, ot the low price of cotton, but also because, it is impracticable to maintain qr increase, soil fertility when so largo a pro portion of the- land ls pl&hted to one crop...
