Ibis state destined to grow up and go Ihrough life without the chance to se cure this very necessary agricultural Education. In closing the speaker paid it pretty tribute to Ashbury F. Lever Baying that fifty years from now. peo ple will remember what Lever has [lone and regard bitn as the greatest agricultural leader of his age. Congressman Lover was the next speaker and discussed tho subject: "The Smltb-Lcver Agricultural Ex tension Act and what it means to South Carolina." ? The speaker said that as far back us 1850 a bill was passed by congress to encourage agraculture and that at that time President Buchanan report ed the bill as violating states' rights. Following that came the war between the states. He said that one of the first things of a constructive nature ever secured was the passage of the Hatch act, under which the various experiment stations were established. On top of this, said Mr. Lever, ho made 15 epecches in Missouri last year and was told, while he was in Mr. Hatch's district, that Hatch was defeated by the farmers because "ho had done nothing for the farmers." Vet Hatch made possible the gather ing of scientific agricultural know ledge by the government. Mr. Lever Bald that Congressman Adams, with whom he was associated on the agri cultural committee in congrees, liter ally died in his efforts to secure an additional appropriation lor the ex periment station work. Mr* Lever's Yirent Bill. Mr. Lever Bald- that the government hud tried the * work fit Sending college professors to address ttj farmers and this plan had failed and therefore the Smith-Lever extension bill pro poses to. send the professor right Into Lhe homos of the farmers, on the indi vidual farmers own farm, and there lo demonstrate to the farmer what Is necessary and what should be done. These men will show that a crop can bo produced by producing it. "I am ;lad to be the author of a bill which reconglzes the farmer's wife," said Mr. Lever. "Think of the farmer's wife having ?o drop a. three gallon bucket into a well sixty foot deep. and laboriously Irawtng it up. Yet she muet be the uother of the future generations and )f future citizens." Mr. Lever said hat he had studied the farmers or ganizations, the Grange, the Alliance, he Farmers' Union and said that here are two reason why these or ganizations do not succeed. One of these is the fact that they lo not get into close touch with the 'armer which must be had. The new )lll provides that the government will lend into each county about six men uid three women and these will go rom house to bouse and teach the icople. They-will constitute the hub tround which the center of thought rill 'revolve: The bill will also help o dlstrbute the crops after they have icen produced. This will be in addl ion to the efforts "which have already icon : tried- of producing, two bales if cotton where one "grew before. ' Marketing Is a Problem. Th? county agricultural agent is ileo made the county marketing agent tnder the new bill and It will be his liity to assist In disposing of the Top's. The question of marketing is ine of which Is of the gravest Jm - a neo now." Mr. Lover said that he specie the rural credito to become nuch better in this section" of the tate when the new bill goes into el ect, and bo believes that it Will be Im musitalo to get money for longer terms ind at better rate* than Is now the aite. He stressed the fact that home wn er ship of farms was one of he nost Important things to be attained ind caid that 43 per cent of South Carolina's farmers & . merely tenant at mera. . "In Washington. Under the direction if the greatest president since the lays of Thomas Jefferson, - we are rorking out a plan to loan money to armors at cheap rates and long orms," said the speaker. Mr. Lever tdd that his bill was drawn with the Lssiatsace of a dosen or more and that ?bind. it l? the. greatest agricultural '?rala work on the part of these 12 hat the United States can boast of. Mr.-Lever said that it takes more irains to run a farm than any other usin?es and he hopes to see the day ? hen. tho farmer wlU be pro ad to tand up and say that.he Is a farmer nd tra able to boadt of -that fact. He lopes to see the day wbeu the chil ien of the farmer will be proud* of be fact-that they are - a; farmer's oughter -or a farmer's son. Coni n?lusion er Watson. B. J.
