Frank Wil? liams, and Secretary E. I. Reardon, of Sumter Chamber of Commerce, spent last Saturday In the western sections of Sumter county visiting Dalzell, Rembert, and intermediate sections of Providence, Rafting Creek, and Sumter townships. Mr. Scale Is examining the pro? gress made in control of cotton wilt, a work inaugurated about live years ago by Clemson College under the di? rect supervision of local Demonstra? tor Williams. Many hundreds of acres of cotton land have been redeemed from the wilt by rotation of crops, selection of wilt resisting cotton seed, and plant ting of iron peas. While out on this trip Mr. Scale and Demonstrator Williams conferred with many farmers, gave very valu? able information about lighting the cotton wilt, and incidentally received J much practieal information from I Tanners who have successfully eradicated this cotton pest., It was ascertained that hundreds of acres of peanuts will be planted, perhaps several thousand acres, that wheat will be increased approximate? ly one hundred per cent, in this sec? tion, and in othsr sections, several j farmers planting thirty acres of pea- j nuts, and others from four to ten aorta. The farmers are well pleased with wheat culture, they like the home raised Hour and the splendid grinding facilities1 in this city and county. Ac? cording to statements made it is esti? mated that the greatest amount of crop diverslflcaion and "live at home" activities ever known in Sumter coun? ty will be practiced during the next eighteen months. Tobacco and peanuts were talked by the secretary of the commercial Or? ganization as was wheat, oats, hogs, chickens, fruits, etc. The two government officials also preached diversilication and rotation of crops to beat the band.
