Farner's Institute at West Springs.
.Special to Union Iimw :
Pursuant to previous arrangement
a Farmer's Institute was held at
West Springs last Saturday. Dr. R,
N. Brackett, B. H. Rawl, Profs. J. S,
Newman and W. S. Morrison, oi
Clemson College, were the lecturers
present. The meeting was called tc
order by chairman J. M. Whitehead
and prayer by Rev. R. W. Speigner.
About 250 people from different portions
of the county assembled there
to hear these professors lecture upon
the several subjects of most interest
to the farmers. Dr. Brockett delivered
a most learned address or lecture
upon the chemical analvsis of soils
and their adaptability to the growth
of certain plants, and what was necessary
as a plant food contained in
the soil. While he was making an
exhibit of a chemical effect some ol
the chemicals he nsed became ignited
and burned his hand quite seriously.
The lecture of Prof. Rawls upon stock
raising, grasses and forage crops was
highly interesting and instructive.
Prof. Rawls is an enthusiast on the
subject, and said no country was
better suited for the purpose than
ours. Prof. Morrison talked interestingly
on industrial education and
teohnology. All of the lectures were
instructive and interesting. Mr.
John Davis furnished a first class
barbecue dinner, and Mr. Stanford
had icecream, lemonade and cigars.
Mr. Leander West's horse ran away,
but no damage. Some one hit Mr.
Ray Burgess mule, which made it
run against Mr. Jack Burgess buggy
and frightened his mule and it tried
to ran and in the scramble the buggy
whebb ran over Mr. Jack Burgess
head*, but did not seriously hurt him.

MR. J. W. SPILLMAN,"
A Representative of the U. S. Experiment
Station, Talks to the
tfeopie of Union on Grasses,
dairying and Stock Raising.
Wednesday morning, a fairly good
o&wd of representative citizens assirobled
In the coart house at 11 a.
qt to listen to Mr. Spillman's addyesss
on the subject of grasses,
djtitttfcuf and stock raising.
Rice moved and it was
SeeonoM that Mr. Davis Gregory,
ugkof Union County's most progresste
farmers take the chair and preside
over the meeting After Mr.
Gregory took his seat, Mr J. K.
Young, who was most instrumental
A getting Mr. 8pillman here to talk
lb the people, then stated the object
0% this meeting and introduced Mr.
Spillman.
!\Mr. Spillman began by saying that
he was glad of the opportunity to
talk to this people, that he was in
the South some years ago and saw
bat little else grown on the land except
cotton, that he had traveled
over the South for the past two years
and that he had never seen so great
a change for the better in so short a
time; that this great improvement,
was due largely, if not entirely, to
the embarking in the dairy and stock
raising business, which means diversified
agriculture, the true secret of
success, that no county which followed
the one crop system of farming
ever prospered any great number of
years, that the people of the South
were fast learning what they really
could do, and that the South could
beat the North at anything they attempted
in the way of farming, that
if the North had made a Buccess at
dairy, cheese making and stock raising
where they could grow but one
crop a year on account of the climate
and short seasons, the South was
eminently better prepared to succeed
oecause hero two and three crops of
feed could be grown on same land In
one year. He thinks the boll weevil
a blessing in disguise to the people of
Texas, because it has taught them
the folly of depending entirely on a
cotton crop, and they have begun to
diversify. Twenty years ago the
State of Indiana raised little else but
wheat. Three successive failures in
wheat crops almost bankrupted the
people, so they began to turn their
attention to stock raising and cheesemaking,
and today they are a prosperous
people. Mr. Spillman gave
many Illustrated facts and figures going
to prove the truth and necessity
of diversified agriculture, and showed
the dairying industry the most profitable
from the fact that one not only
ralized a large profit from the products
of the dairy, but at the same
time was adding to the fertility of the
soil, and that no country in the
world was better adapted to this parfc^?nia.^
industry frbttO, the S^uth. if
need expect to succeed unless rfftt
becoming fully informed in every respect.
If a person went into the
business Ignorant of the needs and
requirements as to the proper management,
he would be sure to fail.
This is so in any business we undertake,
therefore it is necessary to
thoroughly inform yourself before going
into the dairy and stockraising
business.
Mr. Spillman says subsoiling, as ft
is called, is worse than worthless
nonsense, as you simply break the
clay and allow it to settle back as it
was, and who subsoils or only plows
three inches deep is no farmer. Deep
plowing turning up the soil and thus
mixing the subsoil with the top soil
year after year, plowing one inch
deeper each year until the land is all
soil, as deep as vou want, or <a
the only real and sensible way to
farm, manuring all the while, which
will bring the land to a high state of
cultivation and fertility.
Mr. Spillman says he has just
made arrangements with Mr. Willliamson,
the model farmer of Georgia
to turn his farm into a government |
experiment farm for 3 years, and Mr. j
Spillman extends a cordial invitation
to all the farmers to visit this farm in
the fall of 1905. Railroad rates will
be reduced, and and other arrangements
will be made for the accomodation
of the visiting farmers. Once
there the farmers can see what is
meant by and the difference between
the one crop system and diversified
agriculture, dairying and stock raising.
