One of the biggest days Anderson bas seen in a- long while was tito | county field, day held yesterday big not oniy for .the city but for thel county, and for the cause of education In tho county. Anything which brings together 10,000 people in one day la j 'big thing, and worthy the support] and cooperation of everyone interest ed In building up and improving, lt la a bigger thing when lt has to db with tho plastic minds of the children -the future men and women of the county ninS State. Tho tendency has been to minimize the worth of Ute In stitutions of the country having to do with tho education of the boys and gilla, but that tendency has been re versed und the people ot today are| rtulyytfj to their support, and are get ting enthusiastic over Ute possibilities cf training fer citizenship. Men and women oro getting together and are planning- for lugger and better things ?or the educational growth ot the country. The natone!' government is i^Jending all assistance possible to help K to train and help thom ; .selves. Hundreds or men are engaged OH exports to -educate and assist the ? solving problems which are ^^HHj^M* progress. We the bone il; Am?w?tyt \ Utes* tendencies, and the outgrowth of these awakened 1 ia seen In such gatherings as waltha* of. yesterday. In such a mass of men, women and chit?ren, one in likely to fe?1 th**: their Individuality ls lost, but In this we aro. mistaken anti yesterday ono stood out prominent In Ute ?icoesa o? the day-Miss Maggie Gar county rulral school super visor. Rho lt was who planned it and eh*-'lt was who worked out th? detalla ----js,:>t'. i.e. program as waa so succeaa ; nut. The Intelligencer l v In giving honor fo whom I? due, and standing out Inst Mlnently foMovrftwr the se rs for Oieir unselfish and unstinted work in Jetting their schools ready for jhc day, andi in preparing the exhibits. Lastly, the pupils of the county are due praise for the willingness with which they entered into all the plans of their- tascher? and the program a? mapped out for the day. It was a fact worthy of comment that so msny en tered Into all the exercises and con tests, and that they did their parts so | creditably reflects credit upon their touchers, and those who trained them for their parts. WHY KOT AN ORGANIZATION. The IntelMrtacer notes with pleas ure the great Interest shown in athletics by those who were partici pants yesterday In the Held day ex- ? orclses. A strong mind tn a strong| body ls the goal to which teaching j should aim. The schools of the coun ty havq some And material for build ing up a fine athletic association, and Thc Intelligencer would suggest the] organization of a county athletic as sociation, membership to be held by tho sdheels. A series of competitive meeta should be held at different times and places, under the arrange ment and-management of the officers selected for that purpose '*y the or ganisation.. For. Instance the athletic exercices Yesterday were not carried out with the dispatch they should ! bard boen: given. Tba grounds were not arranged as well aa were needed, and thc crowds did not keep their dlstance'so as tO allow ox the best ex hibitions of skill. Suth details as these could W4$t be handled by the officials of an organization, and prepa rations made ahead of the time for the meets to take caro of these details. We trust the teachers will take this j matter np at an early meeting und j arrange for an organization. YALUE OP PASTURE. J_ The South, with ita ,long summer seasons, tts deep fertile soil, and its abundant rainfall, is by nature as well adapted for pasturage as any land that the sun shines on. But we have practically no pas tures. Ther?"are~tbree reasons why we have no pastures. The first rea son ls cotton. The second reason is cotton. And the third reason is cot ton. Wo can. If we want to, have pas tures the whole year round. The clovers,: th? vetches, rape, rye, oats, barley and other things will furnteh an abundant winter vegetation. But the cheapest', the easiest to have, and the moat profitable* of nil ls the summer pasture.. And lt a man wants a summer pasture, be rni ? have it by stirring himself just a blt dur ing either of the months of April or May. The land ought a> be well broken and nicely pulverized. Then laid off in checks about two to three feet apart. One or two r-prigu of burmuda grass stuck down ir <>ach cheok. And then In . some wet spell in June or July throw about seventy five or one hundred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre on tt and you've got lt. Any piece of land treated that way will bo ready to give, back some very good grasing tn August7 and Septem ber. If lt is ferule land, lt will give a considerable amount of ?"-"lng Ute very first year. Old burmuda soda should be broken ! up ovrry two or three yean? and treatod with a Might dressing V nitrate of soda By breaking them up I yon get two beneficial results. One j j ts that the burmuda wil itself do much better. Tho land gets hard and stiff and Ute grass In retarded in its growth, but by breaking breaking the soil, tho grass is sent on its way rejoicin*.. Then also by breaking up the laud tn carly spring, you get the benefit ot other ^grasses. Crab grass will not grow scarcely at all on hard uncultivated land, but ls luxuriant on land that Is culUvated. And crab grass is a very sweet and nutrlcious food for either hogs or catUe. So by breaking St up, you reap the benefit of two good grasses instead of ono. Tho point is that men should be j willing to give some attention and) work to tho cultlv&Uon of their pas tures as such H they expect them to be reiAuneraUve. And Englishman once said that he believed that he ??..td have ?? ?w? H y*4tu? as'any ho^eise, if h i could" live two hun dred and fifty years, so that he could! fficienl to fix it to his y&ut many ot cur good' nth are not willing day* and a half to the ed burmuda' grass is worth two ot blue grass. One acre;.of good burmuda grass Will make more money while grazing beef cattle than it will in cotton. The beef Itself will dp all the gathering for you and then carry lt to market for you besides. . CLEA N-CP WEEK. The clean-up campaign for Ander son will begin April 19, but this is not too soon to begin to plan for thc campaign. ' Anderson has won some distinction in the past for her en deavors ulong this line, and for muny years the ladles through their splen did orguuizaLlou, the Civic League, has made progress it: cleuniug up the city, and inculcating the spirit of cleanliness. As fur back a? April 0, 1907, the records of this organization show that the city council was asked to aid them in making a clea up campaign. This hus been kept up since then, The plan to devote one week each yeer to cleaning up and tidying up the city is commendable, and we trust the response this year as In the past Will be Mich as to bring favorable comment for the thorough and sani tary manner in which the cleuning is done. Every organization and every individual In the city should respond most heartily to this determination to make the city a clean and whole some city. The effect of cleanliness ls felt In the individual, and if the city 1? made thoroughly clean, the thoughts and aspirations of the in dividual will also be clean and uplift ing, "Cleanliness is akin to Godli ness" we are told, and with the knowledge that disease ls so often transmitted through germs and In jurious insects, the effect of allowing them to breed in places of filth can not bo overestimated. ?Vlean Up and Paint Up," ls a good slogan for every citizen from now till Apr.; 24th at least. The following Btory has a moral: vin a tenement district lived a fam ily surrounded by filth and dirt. The whole atmosphere of the little room 1 which they called "home" was one of hopeless depression and squalor. To prove the power ot suggestion, a good woman placed on the table a minia ture statue of the Venus of Milo. Against this grimy back-ground of 'shone out in 'all her whiteness and purity, elevating and brightening her strange surroundings. The good wo man called a week later and found that the place had been cleaned up, the dirt had been washed away and a pathetic but sincere attempt af dec oration had been made-the subtle in fluence was effective. It the homes In a neighborhood be come weather-beaten and shabby, values In the whole neighborhood deteriorate. But If some house-own era paints and brightens up his home, it radiates Ita attractiveness In every direction and soon the whole neigh borhood ls made bright and attractive.

A large number ot schools were* represented in this class. A detailed mention of thc exhibits would fill columns of newspaper space, but general mention should be made of the most outstanding fea tures of this feature of the program. On,, of the most interesting displays was thc exhibit from Pendleton school, this being a display almost wholly in domestic arts. Some of thc needlework was the prettiest that has ever been shown In this section of th0 country. The llonea Path school had a splen did display of maps. The Hammond school had one of tho most varied dis plays of all, a particularly striking feature being the colored drawings of flowers fro mllfe. The outstanding feature of the Old Varennes Behool exhibit waB the manual training work and the needlework. The McLees school had a large and varied exhibit. The Piedmont school had a splendid exhibit, the most prominent feature of the display being the work in the the business course training, lt would be impossible to name all the splendid features of the exhibits. There were approximately 700 bide ribbons awarded. The Athletic Contests. Exercises of a literary nature over, dinner was served on the large cam pus of the college. Dinner was spread by schools and by families. It was one of thoa edinuers such as only the good housewives of tho country know how to prepare.

Garlirigton, who has charge of community club work as well as the canning and tomato club_work in the cou?- 7 The model kitchen attracted dieu tion from hundreds of house wives all o*4er the county and doubt less many of them gained helpful; pointe*s as a result of the display.
