L. J. BROWNING, CAND
TIME'S" MAN GIVES ACCOUNT 01
GKESSIVE FARMER, ACTIVE
BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS AC
(From The Union Times. March 13. 1914).
The writer had the pleasure some
time ago of visiting the farm of Hon
Lowndes Browning in Cross Keys
towns! lip.
Years ago, Mr Browning realized
that the one crop, all cotton, theory
. of farming was a delusion and a
snare, and he began raising his own
meat and corn. It has been 24 years
since he has had to use any cotton
money to buy meat for his plantation.
Not that he has not bought bacon all
these years, but each year lie has
1 1 Komc
Old more uiuu cnuu^n uugo, imuw
and lard to buy all the meat needed
on his place. He has a very nice
bunch of short horn cattle and a
fine fl >ck of Rambaulliet sheep. In
fact, he lives at home.
He is president of the County
Farmers' Union, and during his administration
this organization has
put on new life and is proving quite
beneficial to its members in the purchase
of fertilizers and other farm
supplies.
Mr Browning is very much interested
in the education of the rising
generation, and he takes great pride
in the consolidated school that has
been established at Sedalia, largely
through his efforts. As an incen
tive to agricultural development he
has given the use of several acres of
land adjoining the school lot, on
which the school board will have an
experimental farm for three years,
profits to be used for the school.
He has served several terms in
the House of Representatives,during
the session of 1911-12 being chairman
of the Ways and Means committee,
and the two appropriation
bills introduced by that committee
were only amended by the House to
the amount of $83.75. This is a
record that has never been equaled
by 'he Ways and Means committee
of any other term. The Senate
ma'h few changes, and the vetoes
of the'Governor were always opposed
by a majority of the House, in
most instances, by the necessary
two-thirds majority.
Mr Browning was the author of
the refunding bill of 1912,and while
this bill involved about $0,000,000.00,one
of the largest financial measures
ever handled by the State, the
House of Representatives passed it
without a dissenting voice, even
without an aye and nay vote. When
vetoed by the Governor, it was
J ? Ula ?.n*A in V\Q TTnngo Ku
uvci 111 a in ^.awvtv/
a vote of 79 to 10, and an equally
large majority in the Senate. This
act, if placed in operation, should
sa^s the taxpayers of the State
around $100,000.00 per year for!
twenty years.
He was also the author of the
asylum bond issue joint resolution,
submitted to the people at the last
election. While this resolution received
a majority of tbe votes,it did
not receive the two-thirds vote which
the resolution called for, therefore,
did not become law. Had this been
enacted into law, it would have
proved a solution of this very difficult
problem, which is still unsettled.
He was the author of the bill
which placed the selection of the
Commissioner of Agriculture in the
hands of the people, thus putting
th:.s important department of the j
Government on a parity with the;
nf t.VlP Stiitfi Gov- I
UUICI UVpMi VU4V4AVW
trnment.
He was the author of a number
of other bills of benefit to the State,
but too tedious to men*'.on here.
Mr Browning will be in the campaign
this summer as a candidate
for Governor, and of the numerous
candidates for this position already
announced, he is the only one who,
so far, has dared to outline a platfo)
in of constructive legislation for
the future. He has done this because
he is very anxious for the people
to have ample time to study and
dig^jst the changes he proposes. In
other words, he does not want this
high position because he is a ' 'good
fellow," or a congenial companion,

but because the legislation which he
advocates would he of great benefit
to the people of our State. Therefore,
he wants the people to be informed,
and have ample time to digest
these matters, so that they can
vote intelligently at the primary.
He believes in honest elections; lie
doc3 not care particularly how this is
brought about, so that every white
Democrat cAn vote in our primary.
He does believe that such restrictions
should be thrown around the primary
as will prevent dead menjiadicals,
Bull Mooses and residents of
other States naming the standard
bearers of the Democracy of South
Carolina.
He is in favor of a thorough reform
of our school laws, so that it
shall become the duty of the State,
and not of the various counties, to
educate the children of the State.
It is contrary to all public policy
that negro children in one county
shall receive more per capita for
their education than white children
of another county, as is now the
case. All are the children of the
State of South Carolina, and not of
any specific county; therefore, it is
the duty of the State to see that
each child has an equal opportunity
to obtain a common school education.
He is in favor of a thorough reform
of our taxing department, so
that the burdens of government will
fall on those most able to bear it
and who receive the greatest benefit
from it. As at present organized,
the taxing department of our government
expends its greatest energy
placing every mangy pig, lousy calf,
bankrupt stock of goods and all half
worn household and kitchen furniture
on the tax books, while many
just sources of revenue are left untouched.
In other words, under our present
i ? ? a. m
lax laws, our UlA uiuuittio aic, ?ihj
devoted zeal, catching the measly
revenues that drip from the spigot,
while the bung is left wide open and
just revenues, that should enrich
the coffers of the State, are allowed
to flow into the pockets of private
individuals and corjorations.
He believes that our land-holdings
I in this State are entirely too large,
I and that for the greatest developI
ment and prosperity of our State we
' should have i large increase of white
citizens who own their homes. He
feels that he knows the necessary
j legislation to bring this about, and
j in the campaign this summer, will
, develop this idea.
[ He also believes that our present
laws in regard to land titles work a
great hardship on the owner, when
he wishes to hypothecate his lands
to borrow money. He is in favor
of adopting the Torrens system of
land registration as rapidly as the
needs of the people require.
There are a number of other reforms
of minor importance that
would be of benefit to our State,and
these he will also bring to the attention
of the people during the
campaign.
In closing this brief sketch it is not
amiss to say that Mr Browning is a
man of pleasing personality, loyal to
his friends and considerate of all.
He is, nevertheless, a man of strong
character and great determination.
He will make himself felt in the
race for Governor this summer.

Tomato Plant Diseases.
There are a number of diseases
which cause injury to tomatoes. The
most prevalent and the most destructive
ones which occur in this
State are the w>Us. There are two
different wilt diseases which we
frequently meet in gardens and in j
fields where tomatoes are grown, j
Probably the most widepread and
destructive one is a bacterial wilt.
Bacterial wilt is readily recognized
by the way that the disease af-1
Store Your I
summer Shirtwai
spring and sumi
Goods
fects the plant. The disease begins
with the leaves at the top of the
plant or at the ends of the branches.
These end leaves wilt fir3t and the
disease gradually works its way back
until the entire plant wilts and dies.
The bacteria which cause this disease
will live in the old diseased
plants and in the soil for several
years. They work in the water
ducts and vessels of the stem and
root and plug these vessels up to
such an extent that the circulation
is cut off. The disease is spread
during the growing season by leaf
eating insects and by bacteria being
carried by the wind and water from
the old diseased plants to healthy
plants, wnen tne disease nrsi appears,
the diseased plants should be
pulled up and burned. As a preventive
measure the tomatoes
should he sprayed with arsenate of
lead at the rate of 1-2 lb paste or i
j 1-4 lb powdered arsenate of lead
t added to 12 gals of Bordeaux mixIture.
The fungus wilt also causes disr
ease by plugging up the vessels and
water ducts cf the stems and roots,
but in this case the disease practically
always starts in through the
roots from the soil and the lower
leaves and branches show signs of
the disease first. The lower leaves
will turn yellow and usuallj wilt
more gradually where the plant is
affected with the bacterial wilt. The
j fungus which causes this wilt will
i remain alive in the soil for a num
ber of years, so that it will be necessary
to leave tomatoes off the land
for five or six years. Spraying does
not seem to help in controlling the
fungus wilt. The diseased plants
should be pulled up and burned and
the succeeding crap should be planted
on land where tomatoes have not
been grown before.
There are several other destructive
diseases of tomatoes which occur
on the leaves and young stems.
These are known as leaf spots or leaf
blights and can be controlled by the
application of Bordeaux mixture.
Where these occur,it is well to spray
the tomatoes one time while they
are still in the seed bed. After
transplanting they should be sprayed
every two or three weeks until
the majority of the tomatoes are
ripe. This same spray will prevent
the fruit rots and if arsenate of lead
is added, it will tend to prevent the
spread of bacterial wilt. For this
purpose we would use Bordeaux!
| mixture?1 pound copper sulphate
or bluestone and 1 pound of quicklime
to 12 gallons of water.
Another very serious trouble with
tomatoes is root knot. This is recognized
by the knots or galls which
appear on the roots of the plant.
Tiiese knots are caused by a species
of eel worm or nematode which is
quite common and widespread. The
same species of nomatodo causes
root knot on a great variety of
plants. Where this disease occurs, it
will be necessary to practice a rotation
which will leave all of the common
garden vegetables snd all other
crops, with the exception of corn,
small grain and the two resistant
varieties of cowpeas?the Iron and
the Brabham?off the land for two
years. Where this is done, tomatoes
can be planted back on the land
again. See Bureau of Plant Industry
Bulletin 217 and Circular 92.
