Aull Has Tura Judicious System of Rotnti gencer Repr At this time when there li much tulle of substituting other crops for cotton, it would not be amiss for those farmers so interested to visit the hog ranch of Mr. ll. A. Aull, at Autun, a little station eight miles from Ander son on tho Hluo Ridge railroad, bo tween Anderson and Clemson College. The possibilities of raising hogs for ir moy crop to take the place of cot 1< would be brought home to any f.. mer who would take the time to in spect the up-to-date farms of Mr. AuU. lieginninK about three years ago on some gullied hillsides, which would produce about five bushels of corn to the acre, and a hundred pounds of lint of crop rotation and planting legum es, Mr. Aull ha? brought those gul lies up to about 20 to 25 bushels per acre. There is no way of telling how much cotton they will now make, aa none lias been planted on them thia year. Hut it is certain that tho produc tive capacity of this land has boen in creased at least ?,00 per cent. The crop being grown lins year by Mr. Aull on that part of the 70 acres devoted lo his hog ranch, consists of corn, pindera, wheat, rye, vetch, clov er, rape, and some of the hillsido In Hermuda. Hctwcen the row3 of corn Mr. Anil ha3 planted, and, has now a finn stand of wheat and rye mixed, with vetch and etover. This is growing nicely and will make the finest kind of hinter grazing a little later.

It is located on both sides of a Btream formed by thc confluence of several largo springs, itsolf tributary of Three and Twenty creek, and the rims for tho hogs aro so arranged Lhat tlicy have access to water at all times. In addition to this a large water whee!, representing as nearly as poe albie perpetual motion, is being used Lo loree the clear and cool spring water to a tank and through the hog pens, and runs. This wheel and pump KI vc n ea partly nf 1.500 gS?O?S of water per day, or about ten gallons Tor every hog on the ranch. Mr. Aull is raising now Poland China ind Duroc Jersey pure breeds for breeding purposes, and a cross be tween them for meat. Ho has pome rery fine specimens in both these irecds. Ho mauages to keep about 150 toga ail tho time, and they aro fat enough fur pork. Very little grain is icing fed now, nor has been during ;ho summer. "How do you keep down hog cholo ?a?" w.i3 asked Mr. Aull by thc report ir for tho intelligencer. "Oh, that is ?asy," replied Mr. Ault. "One has on y to keep his runs clean, disinfected iccasionally, and keep the hogs free 'rom lice." Asked what he thought if thc serum treatment, Mr. Aull said ie was not specially impressed with t, for it lasted only about three weeks vhen used, but that if he had chole *a in his ranch he would usc it to damp it out, and then he would go lack to tho disinfectants, and the clean fcatment. Mr. Aull has a very systematic ro atlon of crops which ho adheres to ear after year. For instance the fields vhere he has this year corn, with vheat, rye and vetch planted in the ow8, will next year be planted to tinders about the first of July, with .nothcr grazing crop following. The text year he will plant soy beans, an arly varlet/, followed by crimson lover and rape, going tho third year o corn again. Everything that can be urned under will be added to thc sup ily of humus in the soil. As a hog eed Mr. Aull does not think much ?f .vc i eh, but he plants lt for the.soil inproving qualities. He says his hogs rill not cat artichokes, either, being , bit particular what they feed upon. Asked for a practical sckedule-of ..ha? the ordinary farmer can plant or tho purpose of raising hogs month y month, Mr. Aull gave tho follow ag: January-Orazc on crimson oats and ape. February-Orazc on Crlmson'Clover" nd rape. Mara.-Craze on crimson clover and ape. April-To the mlddie of toe month, raze on crimson clover and rape.

In addition to being so successful n raising hogs, Mr, Aull devotes some imo to brooding other farm products.1 "or instance, lie is Just, now very auch interested in breeding cotton for on g staple.

To tho Editor of the News and Cou rier: WU! you kindly permit mc to ct ate my views on the subject of the "Wade plan" and the general situation a little more clearly than ii oxplaimvl in Ute interview contained in your paper. In tho first pined, qwrmancnt relief to ?ur cotton situation can ? a4y come through' consumption of the ccttou. Rvory effort put forth in that direettmi ts helpful and ought to bc encouraged.. Tho drop in tho price of cotton itself in naturally geing to stimulate thc consumption: but there nre other ways of stimulating its usc, and every bit nf help in that direction ls perma nently beneficial Now the prlco of cotton has been declining steadily in the fact, of tho numerous conventions held for tho purpose .of obtaining government nh! of nome kind. Tho consumer ls so im pressed with thc? utter futility of any and all such plana that, ho has re frained from buying any more than he nooda from day to day, even whero1 he can get the money to buy frooly. At this season he usually buys almost his entlrd year's supply. Is there any way of Inducing him to do this at pres ent? If you can create In hist mind' a conviction that the cotton which ls ob tainable at tho price offering is not going to be sufficient to meet tho. de mand for consumption then .ho may be counted on to come into the market rfreelyi . No resolution passer* by a convention icurtailing1 tho n?xt otter, crop; co law passed by a Legislature compell ing such Curtailment is going to have any such effect, in my Judgment.

Whole Agricul War W1U Only I Amid th? gloom Into which the cot ton situation, brought about by tue European war, baa plunged the South Ibero ia a ray of light and of hope which waxes stronger .as it is more carefully observed. While on all sides ls heard talk of impending disaster, or at best, Berious embassassment, ther<5 are some leaders in agriculture who are already beginning to gird up their loins and go forth to battle with stout hearts, determined to take full advantage of such good as tbts ill wind is blowing to the South. For twenty years' .south' rn farmers have heard the preachments of diver sification. They have been taught, coaxed, pleaded with, and oven threat ened with Dlcutres of Just such situ ations as that which ls now t'./eaten ing, their ecpnomic structure. For nearly ten years a great army of men, tho demonstration forces organized by Dr. Seaman A, Knapp, hus been slow ly but surely liberating Southern far mers from the absolutism of cotton in Borne regions these mea have made such wonderful progress that they are able ut this timo to point proudly to large masses of farmers who no long er, recognize cotton as their master, farmers who aro "living at home" and who in this grave crisis, are able to rest easily in the thought of. abundant supplies of food for mnn and beast, well-filled ailos, cows giving products which do not depend for their market vi.*ue on the whims Of rulers cr tho vagaries of speculation. Hut alas for the frailties of m en and especially of husbandmen! Centuries of living to themselves have develop ed in fanners an independence of at titude to be found in/no other class. They are willing and-glad to recoivo instruction, but only, after it has- been demonstrated to them many times that, tho new ways taught them will result ' profitably. The time, required to ranko 1 such demonstrations cannot be meas- 1 ured ju hours. It is the work of years, determined, plodding at many times' ! discouraging work*. . - .

The people of Mississippi knew foi a long timo that the boll weevil mus? reach them. They knew when to ex peet it. Yet they made very ltttl? preparation in comparison with what they should and could havo made Hut when tho boll weevil had entered the Stato aud starvation stared mox in the face, the resuonso was imm?d iat". Dairy and beef farms sprang up rapidly, barge arcas aro being planted in alfalfa. Diversification hat come to have a real meaning for thc Mississippi farmer, i;-, i:licet <m Our Economic System.. Changes in tho economic system oj a people are wrought witli great slow ness and, under oro.a, ry conditions thia is as it should The?"? !? ont exception. When a huge crisis aris es, a situation that threatens the very economic life of a great masB, thc barriers fall, men cast aside in one day tho inheriticd practices of a cen tury, the conservatives of yesterday become moro radical than those whom they considered ultraradical, and re form which were little more than Ideals are incorporated "in the normal Uvea of the people with astonishing case and rapidity. So it is that some of the agricultu ral leaders in South Carolina feel thai the present situation can be worked into a death blow to the absolute dom ination of cotton if they striko while the iron ia hob And they aro plan ning accordingly. Nor is-there any doubt that men in other- Sputhern StateB will recognise the same oppor tunity. The demonstration forces of South Carolina had already boon planning; a great campaign ot- preparation for Hie boll weevil, a campaign which they had determined waa .to make the state better prepared for tho advance of the destructive post than has been any other Southern State. With moro ' than four years in which to work, they had time for their opera tions. Just as the campaign was to be launched lp earnest, with the bank ers' and commercial bodies of the State thoroughly prepared to give ac tive Bupport and co-operation, thc na tions of Europe sent their millions in to tho field, commerce wan paralyzed md the market for cotton dropped mit. of eight The work of first importance is, of course, to help the cotton farmer in ?very way possible to weather the ?ii omi that is now brewing. But along with tho relief measures will go tho loctrine of diversification, preached ?-.ow under conditions which are ideal. All Europe is,-or will soon he, cry-. lng for food. Wheat and oats and rye and corn, hay, horses, and mules, ind animai products will he In.such Jemand, according to experts, that 'amine prices will prevail. Yet South .tarellan, Uko nearly all of the South, tas hot a bushel of grain, nor a bale >f bay* nor a pound- of meat product? that lt can sell to the people of Eu rope.

The fault of, the South's subjection u cotton does not lio-wholly with tho 'armer.. Thc South's entire loan sya ein has. up to the present, boen bas ;d on thia crop. Small farmers had no tltcrnatlvc. But now there ls s .haiine in tho attitude of bankers and nerehSBtSi Th"? i"??ll?t3 tho fU????B street ot, a. policy that forces farmers p depend on one crop and they are. looking, a way to arrange their syB em so that advances may bo made on rrops other than cotton. This change ?van brought about among South Car olina bankers. by the realisation of the nearness of the cotton boll weevil ind the; present situation is certain to nake them evonl more earnest in their jflorts to do everything In reason to bring.about a system of diversification lt has been demonstrated that South Carolina can make as much hay to the acre, as any Northern State, thai shh can produce mere corn to the acre than any state in tho Corn Belt, that he Bermuda grass pastores are bet ter than the bluegrass and that she baa horticultural possibilities of won derful, magnitude. The farm demonstration forces have already begun to. urge farmers to grow bats and wheat, to establish hog plants.-to devoto more, attention to poultry and to plant vegetable gar dens targe enough to supply the table through the winter. There will nemo let up in the preaching , of diversification and the lessor that ls now being taught the single crop farmer will be driven home-with all the emphasis possible. - Heneo it is possible aad probable that out of the Bitnation which at this writing appears very dark there must come a new order of things which will compensate the farmer many times over for any loss be may suffer now. no matter, how great the- loss may be.
