Some time back the Farmers' Union of Anderson couuty made a tommi request of Clemson College to allow the farmers tho privilege of selecting some of the speakers at tho coming State Farmers' Institute, and the ofti ciala there no d->ubt will grant this re quest. All this bas a very encourag ing outlook and is getting the farmers in closer touch with their college. Thie ought to make the fact plain to the farmers that the agricultural fea tures of Clemson College is there for the benefit of the farmer, and if the farmer will co operate with the College, greatgood for tue benefit of the farmer will grow out of it. Or, in other words, tho agricultural feature of Clemson College ia just aboutasgood orindifler- j ent as the farmer want it to be or make j it. The attempt to di verso a large class of farmers from Clemson College have done barm to the wbole State. This opposition beyond doubt was used to appeal to the prejudice of the loss in telligent class of farmers to forward the selfish motives of individnala and a olasa of small 2x4 politicians, who thrive merely upon the rat barn of prejudice among the less progressive class of our people, The Farmers' College and thc Farmers. Do the farmers of Sonth Carolina realize the fact that we have in this State one of the best equipped agricul tural colleges and experiment stations in the country T If they do we are sure that the farmers as a whole do not ap preciate the valuable work that these institutions may be able to do for the interest of the farmer, or they would make better use of this grand opportu nity than they have been doing np to this tiine. Recently the farmers have made con siderable inquiry as to the real merits of the much talked of Aldrich system of planting mixed crops of cot ton and corn, 2 rows of cotton and 2 rowe of corn, alternating in this way through the whole field-but we have not been able to find where any au thoritative actual experiments have been made as to actual comparative test by actual measurements and weights. The committee on the good of the Farmers' Union have taken up this matter in a co-operative way with ?lemBou College, and some eight or ten comparative teBts on different soils will be made, this seaBon, which will put the farmers in possession of real knowledge of the facts as to the mer ita of this system, as well as compara tive valuea of crushed cotton seed stable manure, ashes and commercial fertilizers on poor iandB. Final Report on Cotton Crop. Washington, April 28.-The census bureau has issued the final report on the cotton crop grown in 1004. showing a total production of 13,584,457 balee of 500 pounds. The cop exceeds that of 1003 by 8,401,386 bales, or 85 per cent. The largest crop produced in the Uni ted States prior to 1004 was tbatof 1808, which amounted to 11,235,000 bales, or 10 per cent less than the crop of 1004. The average crop for the five-year pe riod ending with 1003 waa 0,802,047 bale?, or 26 per cent lesB than the crop of 1004. Among the cotton producing States Texas has held the first rank for twenty years. Its production in 1004 was 3,184,677 bales. Georgia, with a production of 1,060, 151 bales, was second, having passed Mississippi, which held the second rank in 1008. Mississippi is third and Alabama fourth. With the exception of Kansas, Arkansas and Texan, all the cotton producing States show larger crops for 1004 than for any other year. The States which show the most nota ble increases compared with 1004 are Alabama, Georgia and Sonth Carolina, the largest increase bei orr found in Georgia, where the crop exceeded that of 1003 by 602,108 bales or 48 per cent. The increase in Alabama is 48 per cent, in Booth Carolina 45 per cent and in Texas 87 per cent. The increase in the combined pro duction of Oklahoma 'and Indian Ter ritory over 1808 is 72 per cant.
