neaning of that is that they are gong to increase the cotton area. There s no combination on the part of farners, but there is a sort of telepathic communication and transmission of> nforraation?a kind of wireless intercourse which brings them to act ivith unanimity when it comes to cotton. All the cotton farmers are ioing just what the farmers of this State are. They figure it out that it Is cheaper to make 9 cent cotton and buy flour, bacon and corn from the West. Let the farmers 6tick to their plan of raising more corn and hay than usual, even if cotton should go to 12 cents. Look at the condition today, More than half the farm animals of the State are not properly fed. Empty cribs mock their owners as the wind whistles through the cracks. Cattle are in poor condition. The only hope is to raise an abundance of grain and hay A farmer of the State said a few days ago that he sowed five acres of land last October in oats, applying about 2:30 pound* p of commercial fertilizer to the acre. I He expected to make li>0 bushels of loat? on the lot. The frottta, free/on I and llooda which laRt?d continuously -.uifi tuo.ilhs, killed the oats. About lue utk>t of April his foreman said that he would like to plant that fiacre lot in cotton for he could make three bales with the addition of a little fert'lizer. At 8 cents that cotton would have brought $120. The cost would have been $713; leaving #1.3 and I the seed net. The owner of the land J said,''No, let it alone. It is not ! washing.

'oung ones with first calves, hut hey were so poor that they could mrdly stand up. The owner of these leifers was not ready to go into the attle business. If one wishes to aise fat cattle for beef lie should seure a thoroughbred bull of one of he large breeds. He should then ceep only as many cattle as he can eed well through the winter and up o the first of May. Th.e cheapct 'oughagc for cattle is hay made from iea vines and sorghum, uuless ono las a meadow well set in good grass hat requires no reseeding. If one tas no winter pasture it will require bout two tons of hay to feed a two ir three year old cow six monfjis. That hay will be worth about $30, >ut the manure, if properly cared or, will be equal to a ton of the best commercial fertilizer. If a farmer vishes to raise milch cows he should jet the Jerseys or Guernseys. The Tolstein is better suited for those vho sell the milk as they give more * ban the other two breeds.

That is a'l I ask of South Caeolioa -a few feet of earth where my kinIred for six generations are resting.

Every South Carolinian Aho was true was willing to give his t>lood and his life for the old State. [ am sure that I was willing to do so. I think I can say to you, my men, that I never turned my back upon one of you when your faces were turned toward the enemy. The greatest honor I felt durirg the war was once when 1 came upon a poor private who was dying. I stopped beside him and he said: "I am happy to die fighting, and 1 am proud to die fighting under you." I pray God will bless you and will give you peace and prosperity, give it to the old State, give it to each one of you and that you will go home and tell your kindred that you have seer your old comrade and that he thank* | them through you.
