He attend ed the public schools of Rock Hill and Ebenezer Academy, graduat ing from Concordia College, Con over, N. C. in 1888. Mr. Holler attended Eastman Business College at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He received his A. B. and M. A. degree from Wofford in 1896. He was licensed to preach in Rock Hill that same year and was admitted to the South Caro lina Methodist Conference in Flor ence in 1897. Mr. Holler served many ap pointments, among which was Central Methodist Church in New berry from 1932 until 1936. After his retirement, he served at Ridge Spring Methodist Church at Bethel Methodist Church fo, two years and taught Bible at Co lumbia College for two years. Mr. Holler, a strong and vigor qua preacher of righteousness, never lost the common touch. His love for people was uppermost, whether in family, pastoral, or administrative work. Hunting and fishing were his recreational activities while he was physically able. Mr. Holler represented the state of South Carolina at the World Peace Conference, St Louis, Mo., in 1912. Before entering the Conference, he was engaged in business ai Rock Hill, being one of the found ers of the Rock Hill Buggy Com pany, later the Anderson Motor Company of Rock Hill, f Mr. Holler was president of the South Carolina Conference His torical Society from 1938 through 1952.

The best use was made of each acre. Erosion control and soil fer tility was maintained. 3. Above average crop yields were produced. Farmers used recommended seed, fertilizer, and insect control procedures. 4. The livestock system used was compatible with the kind of feed pi’oduced. The farmer liked his particular kind of livestock, and produced for a known market. 5. The most successful livestock men paid attention to details.

That’s why I was really supris- ed when R. L. Ziegler Jr., of Four Holes Community, told me he’d picked over his cotton once and al ready had picked a bale and half per acre. “Regular poisoning is the reason for higher yields. But I]jl give a good bit of credit to pre-emerg- Ing.” Folks who live around the his toric site of old Ninety Six will vouch for the fine fertility of the soil. Some claim the name Ninety Six was given because any way you look at the figures “96” they read the same. The subsoil around old Ninety Six was supposed to be about as fertile as the topsoil. W. N. Henderson, a member of Greenwood county’s Historical So ciety, lives just a little piece up the road from the site of the Upcoun- try’s first settlement. He showed me the good Davidson soil at the Old Star Fort built by the british during the Revolution. I can tell you that the soil does not erode easily.

More recently, farmer? have at tempted to save the lace-forming bolls at the top of the s^alk. That way farmers make larger yields. But once a grower defoliates cot ton, boll growth stops and the top crop is lost. Now, farmers defoliate the bot tom portion of the stalk first. Near the bottom, the bolls are mature. Early defoliation aids disease control.

I was caught in this movement and before I could get headed on course again was surrounded by cowboys and dog gies—hundreds of them—at the Pee Lee Graded Feeder-Cattle Sale at Lenox Stock Yards in Bennetts ville. Excitement seemed to be at a high pitch. Scores of pens, tightly filled with hundreds of half-grown but well graded cattle seemed to be the object of an unusual amount of mony changing. My interest quickened, and I looked around for a friendly cow boy to talk to. My eyes met those of Fred T. Hollis, who told me he owned an Angus herd 6 miles north o f Bennettsville. * “Harry P.
