Mr 1 >al?I>> is a close and intelligent observer and it is \er> gratifying to know that he was < > favorably impressed with what our people are doing and have already accomplished in the way of material progress along all lines. Incidentally we may say that Mr Dabbs has a forceful personality, a pleasant address and prepossessing manner and without intending any reflection on his predecessors in office. we feel sure that under his able guidance the State Farmers' Union will take <>n new life an<i prosper as it has never 'lone Ivf -re. The article referred to foii.?ws: "On my recent trip to Williamsburg I ran across some things that denote progress. A* (lourdins I dined with Mr ("arkson. who has a fine farm and hoautifully appointed home. While waiting for the rain to cease he told me how he utilizes the lime from his light plant with a force pump. He said this litth- pump that cost oo and is used for spraying fruit trees beat a brush in applying whitewash to his buildings and fences. By removing the spray a solid stream of whitewash is thrown against the building and he can stand on the ground and whitewash every building on his place. This little pump is also useful for washing buggies, autos.windows and would be of great service in the early stages of a tire. Mr Clarkson says he finds the acetyline lime as good for whitewashing as the best quick ' r lime. . "Near Kloomingvale Mr Camlin^^had me to stop to see his fine corn on Smith's bay, a Black river tributary some 15 miles southeast of Kingstree. He has corn good for ?>o bush els j?er acre >?n land that has made consecutive crops without Any fertilizer. Hut it is about his novel method of cultivation that I wish to write. Aft* r he had laid by the corn, "sheep-burs" came up by the millions: they were about six inches to one foot hiirh. and he said as they were "sheep burs" he would see if sheep would not eat them. We!!, the sheep were in there.head.and the cockle-burs were disap|>earinjr. And. strand* to say. they were not troubling the corn. A week later he told me he had taken the sheep out. as they had grazed the burs well down and they mijrht start or. the c?rn. i-. ,.t i?. in< i -.i'U.'d in iitiuvvi v. . schools that county is far ahead of ours. The one-room school in \\ illiamsburtr will soon be a memory. Numbers of them are now corn cribs or tenant houses. Some of these consolidate" 1 schools would do credit to a small town. The best appointed one that 1 was in is at lr.uiantown church I was told that it Iooks like Sunday there every day 4 while the school is in session, there % are so many vehicles and horses hitched nearby. Some of the patrons ride v miies. So far as I could learn there are no sehool wayons.
