Dr. Hartzog call tho ieiting to
order last night mi ;poke as follows.
Ladies and Gentwimon: On behalf
of Clemson college I welcomm you to
the third annual hrmers' instituto.
It is our earnest deire to establish
at this placo a great annual gather
ing at which tho intelligent farmers
may discuss theivir common ex
periences and obw)--rvations. Swap
ping idons Iays a ihundred per cent.
interest both to th giver and the
receiver. Almost every branch of
industry has its organization with
the annual conventi.-n at wLich the
reprosontativo men meet to discuss
their special problems. I dare say
there is no profession or vocation
which has so many dead and broad
problems to grapplo with as agricnl
ture. Agriculture is tho oldest of
the arts and the newest of the scien
ces. It is tho practical application
of many sciences. To know agricul
turo imnl)lios a working acquaintance
of chemistry, botanuy, horticulture,
veterinary sciences, entomology,
dairying, mechanies and many other
sciences. In fact, egriculturo is such
a broad science that no living man
has been able to conmpass the whole
subject. -
We have come to this instit,ute to
pick up but a fewv of the shiell1s on
t he infinite shores of agricultuiral
science. T do not believe that the
rimamry object of the farmers' in
stituto consists in tihe delivery of
formal technical lectures. The main
objcet is to set farnmrs to thinking
and talin. The nggrogato amount
of useful knowledge in any communi
ty is great. We as5k every visitor,
therefore, to take a proprietary in
terest in this meeting. Ask ques
tions, talk out, mako it your meet
lng.
WVe invite you while here to visit
all parts of tile college. Clemson
college is the best known and at tile
same time the least known instiln
lion in the land.
Again, ladies and genitlemenm, I bid
y ~ou welcome. We throw open our
hearts, our hearth-s and our homes.
D)r. Hartzog thon initroduced Col. RA.
BI. Watson, who spoke ear-nestly and
eloquently, saying that lhe wa-s glad
to be at Clemson. We all love some
institution of learning. One loves
one institution, ono loves another,
but every body in South Carolina
loves Clemson, I wish I had had
more to do with thbe bmilding of
Clemson. You who have come here
for the first tinme will say that the
half has not boon told. I rejoice in
everything that contributes to the
welfare of South Carolina materially
or otherwise-in the cotton mills
that hum on the hilltops, railway,
oto., but I rejoice more that we have
Clemson college manned by worthy
professors, headed by a worthy presi.
mon for future usofuln..
Clemson has alroady dono great,
things, but wo have seon only tho
gming.
Col. Newman, on of tho most dis
tinguished agriculturists of t ho south,
then spoke on grasses and forago
plants. 110 spoke in parti as fol lows:
Most grasses are helped by being
pastured . The hoof tramp in te
sprigs aind they take roof. Tho peo
ple of tho South havo constalitly
mado the mistake of trying to follow
the North. There grassos grow with
small griLnil; her it wants all the
land. Thoro it, is winter that in.
jures grasses; here it it; tho tummer.
If wo sow grass seeds in witer we
can get a ihay crop the first year, and
a crop of hay equals por acro a crop
of grain. O)o great mistake the
novico makes i.1 covering the seed
too deep. Umass stwdt are small and
havo little power to overcome tho re
sistance of the soil. Agrain, not
enough ticed are sown. Two bushels
of orchard grass seed per acro is
ibout right. After the 1ld is
thoroughly plowed the sed should
bo harrowed iti, and then the soil
should ho tloro mgl ly rolleI in order
to make the ground firm and bring
the moistuiro xip to the F.eed and ro,ts.
Anotlhr mistake is imado in allowing
the grass to gt t o ripo before it is
cut. Timot!i hay shippId in hero is
not much better than wheat starw
because it get.s too ripo before it is
cut. If cut before it gets quito ripe
much strength that vould have gone
to the seed i:-s raved. Clover should
be cut as soon as the first. seed pod
ripons. Alfafa should be cut bofore
it ripons. When (erman millet wps
first introduced it was disearded as
ahmost wortliiss, but. the trouble
was it was allowed tu get too ripo
before cuting.
"The grass which is most despised
is the most valuable, the Bermuda
grass sometimes called wire grass or
j . grass. There is no reason to be
alraid of planting it on the land. It
can be destroyed easily by a mediod
which will at the same tim enrich
the land. Plow it up well and sow
two bushels of pous to tho acro
to shado it (luring the sum
mor and in the fall there will be no
Bormuda. It is a child of the south
and loves the sun. There is no rea
son why any farmer of the south
should b without pasturage any
time of the y'ear. Bermuda for the
summer, ry for the winter and Tex
as blue grass for fall and spring.
We fail to appreciate our oppor
tunities. As Sidney Lanier said,
"There is more in the man than in
the land.''
"To plant Bermuda prepare laud
and plant in March. Drop the sod
and get some dirt on it either with
the foot or wvith a plow. It is helped
by being p)astured by cattle, but
sheep, hogs and horses injure it.
Bermuda is bettor than rock or
brush to stop gullies. One thou
sand three hundred pounds per ace
was made here in three cuttings one
sonson. It seems to be against the
southern or's i-el igion to for-ti lizo grass
but it pay~s, especially (10es orchar-d
grass. It is well to combine the log
umiet and firasses. Peas and votch
do best sown with the rod oat. The
oats hold up the vines.
'"Alfafa is neglected in this coun
try. It is perennial. It becomes
woodly if allowed to remami too long
before cuttimg. It should be cut
whon the first flower appears and
stowed away. If exposed to light
after curing~ it becomes colorless, it
should be sown in (1rill 15 to 18
inches apart, anud after cutting a fur-'
r-ow should be run between the r-ows
and fertilizer appllied. The best
time to plant us inl the fall, putting
.12 pounds to t he acro.
"Sor-ghumu is the 14est forage plant
we have, and will not kill cattle any
more than penis or any other green
feed. They die from eat ing to much
of it just as fr-om eating too much of
anything else."
Everybody was interested in Col.
Newman's excellent addrness. Many
of the farmors asked questions, gave
experience and1 the meeting was live
ly. Fifteen or 20 ladies were pres
ent and there ara others to come.

A now company has been organi
ized Within tho past few (ays ait
Charleston, S. C., for the pirposo of
orecting and oporating a cotton mi).
It is said that some of the largest
stockholders in tho proposed com
pany are also largo holders of stocli
in tho Vesta cotton mill of tho same
place, which i.s now being partly op
orated )) colored labor. Ono of thc
promoters of this now company stat
ed that they would denionstrato .hT.A
a modern c .oton mill could be ,ue.
ce:-sfully operated in ihe (ily- ol
Charleston by white lbor.
A littlo over three years aro th(
directors of the Charleston mi4ll
reached a decision, the resit I.1
which was the emilploylent of C.].
ored operatives in the mill. At t1h
end of the year no satisfactory pr'
gress had been mado, but iisttvl,
the owners vere out several lbhit
sands of dollars. Tlie company, wv:i!
agaili reorganized mA tho nan,
changed to the Vesta mills, colore
help, of course, being contmnued
Th oflicials of the mill still clain
that this class of help is at success
but when it is remembored that al
the end of three years the mill is nol
running and never has mn to its ful:
capacity, and that what machinery
is running has never at, any tim(
during those threo years turned oil
its full production, it will bo ver)
plainly scon that tho days of the no
gro as a cotton mill operativo ir
numbored. Furthormore, if tho op.
oration of the vosta mill by negroeE
has boon a success why should thesm
samo parties who aro interested ii
tho now company decido in favor 0
whito labor, vhIen such has alwayt
jeon a scarco articlo in towns likt
Charleston Y Their act ion is ir.
itself an admission of the ulnsuitabil.
ity of tile African rae to the (dutiet
of a cotton mill operative.
In Charleston there aro about, 35,.
000 negroes, yet it is saidl to be0 al
most impossible to obtain a suflicieni
number to operate this one mill.
The averago cotton midli operativt
must be~ such as can b)0 depended
upon at all timos, anid it goos with.
out saying thlat the ncyro is of hti
cl ass.
TVho experiment of the Vesta iil
owvnofs has been a costly on ', andl ii
should h)o a suflicient warning to all
those wvho have at any time supposedt
that (lie negro as an operative in
cottoni mill would over be a success.
