Clemson College.

10 the Editor Of the, ,News and Courier
The letter Of Col. Ellison s. 'Keitt id
your issue of the 18th brings out sone
hew views in reference to Clemson
College. It especially suggests Injustice
in diverting the property from its
natural channel, and the State taking
the property belonging to another and
applying it to her omn use without
compensation.
This fecalls to mind the case Of the
heirs of Mason Lee vs. the Executor OF
Mason Lee, so often cited by lawyers in
contested will cases 4 McCord, P. 1918.
Mason Lee, of Marlborough District, an
unmarried man, having strange belief
in witches, devils and evil spirits, and
full Of cranky notions, the least of which
perhaps was the belief that all his rela.
tives wished him dead to get his property,
devised and bequeathed the whole Of his
estate, valued at $4,000, to the States of
South Carolina aud Tennessee, because
he thought those States were strong
enough to contest the claims of his
relatives and sustain bis will. He
provided liberal compensation for his
executors, and the best lawyers in
Charleston we're to be employed to
defend the will against the claims of his
relatives.
The will was sustained by the Courts,
and after its validity was established the
State Of South Carolina at the next ses
sion Of the Legislature, December, 1929,
gave to the heirs at law of Mason Lee all
her interest in said estate. She gave the
property to the persons who above all
others the testator desired should not
have it. Stat. at Large, vol 6, page 3S9.
Some of our earnest advocates of Glenn
son College have already discounted the
additional s15, 600 which will be gained
by Miss Lee contestipg the will of Col.
Clemson. but it is possible that the
precedent of the Act of 1929 would allow
her at least this much of her patrimoDy
Many of US dissent from some of the
views of Col. Keitt. and are in favor of
Clemson College, or a separate
agricultural college, believing that the
present arrangement will be source oil
bitter contention and division among our
people as long as 1t exists. The estab.
lishment of Zone, and its possible failure,
might prove lesser evil than perpetual
discord. B.

$1,000 to meet the. other college expenses,
which added to the land scrip, $500,
aid tbs irsens from the Clemson
bequest, $4,000, will aggffegats s1s;6oo,
and if, the annual expenses are as great,
as those of the Mississippi college,
$32, 2,OOO,f q direct appropriation out of the
treasury of $15,55o will be needed.
Should Congress at any time fail to
make the appropriation Of $4,000
Hatch fund) the Clemson college would
be compelled to abandon its experiment
station OF ask the State for an equal
amount to fetlac6 it,
II the proposed dispositions, therefore,
is made of the three funds mentioned it
will result 10 the destruction of the
Agricultural College at Columbia, the
abandonment of the station located there,
the, sispsnslop of all the work of the
department Of agriculture except the
supervision Of the phosphate territory,
the inspection Of Fertilizers and the con.
duct of the Darlington and spartanburg
stations, and the annual appropriation
out of the State Treasury Of s15,5OO,
with the possibility of an additional
$4,000, if Congress does not continue its
appropriation. Besides all this, the
immediate appropriation Of one mill, or
$4,000, for the erection of buildings.
It will be seen FROM The foregoing that
ifthe Clenison will j. sustained and the
property accepted BY the State that it
will cost the. tax payers considerable
amount of money to put the college into
operation aud something to SUPPORT it.
The State is asked to nominally accept
this bequest without the right to control
the institutions, to putinto it $4,000 to
begin with and make such annual
appropriations as may be needed, and
leave the disbursement Of the money to q
board of trustrees, majority Of whom
will be in no way responsible to the
State.
The above are the facts offer these
commentsl Practically, the State is
asked to tear down a college already
established to abolish the experiment
stations already in successful operation;
to suspend the greater part of the work of
the depsftmeh, of agrieulturej to i1vest
s14o,ooo at once In On institution that
she will not control, and to appropriate
annually from fifteen to thirty thousand
dollars, for all of which it Is to receive
in return a site upon which to found
another college, and about $4,000 per
annum, and the only ples upon which
such changes are urged is that the Olem.
son college might graduate more farmers
than the Agricultural College at Colum-
bia.-L. d. r., in the augusta Chronicle.

The Sense OF Smell.

Apparently developed in much
greater degree than that of horses is the
sceutiDg power Of cattle. Most animals
seem to identify their young by their
SMELL. The barbarous Custom still pre-
walls throughout the country of placing
the hide of butchered calf before it's
mother to stop her mourniul lowing. It
would be rating human acumen rather
high 10 suppose that a mother could
recognize her baby by its skin, yet COW
will identify the bloody relic of her of.
spring and instantly cease her noisy
grief. Yard fed cattle nose their hay
filled racks and bins from the many varie
ties of dried fodder and select only such
as will please their palates and nourish
their bodies.
Cows eat many kinds of fungi-the
common puffboll when young, mush-
rooms, fairy ring, champignon, and some
wood growing toadstools, by which their
milk is much affected; but by far the
greater number they pass untouched with
contemptuous sniff. The pig, from the
well-known and proverbial length Of its
combination nose, would naturally be
expected to have enlarged olfactory
sense, and so it has. When its omnivo.
rous appetite is considered, and it is re.
membered that it seeks the greater part
of its food by plowing under the surface
of the ground to obtain i5, where it can.
not see and must detect it by the process
Of smelling before it can get it to its
mouth to taste it, its discernment of the
edible and non edible from the countless
things its nose encounters is, to say the
least, highly complimentary to that
much desired organ. 1t is said that
"learned pigs" (they are worthy of capi-
tals) are first trained to their card play
ing accomplishments by placing grains
of corn under such cards as they are af
terward by signs instructed to move.
The ground mole, with fur covered eyes
capable at the best Of discerning bright
light only, discovers and chooses food in
its subterranean cropping by its long, deli.
cately constructed nostrils. Sheep are
even more dainty than cattle IN selecting
their nourishment, and, like all other
animals, depend almost entirely upon the
sense of smell. Lambs, after q long
separation from their mothers, will seek
them out in a large herd. But expert
ence goes to show that sight and hearing
are auxiliary to scent in some cases, Of
lambs frequently fail to recognize their
mothers after the latter have been shorn

When we find that plants have e1

hausted most of the plant.foodin the first
six inches of the soil, ne use greedy
feeders, such as rye and clover, mere
especially the latter which send their
roots down deeper in the soil and bring
up the plant food from below, for the
benefit ofsuch crops as have not the
power to reach down and disengage and
bring up the plant.food-a little at a
time, it is true, but enough to give a fair
amount to subsequent crops. Wheat is
delicate feeder and has the power to
bring but little food from the subsoil,
while clover is q gross feeder and has
over four times the lifting power of wheat.
One reason why ryeis so valuable for
green manuring, when sown early in the
fall, to be tdrnsd under the following
spring, is that in growing it gathets up
the nitrogen which is set free when the
ground is bare during the fall months
and would be evaporated or washed out
of the soil but for the growing crop Of
rye OF seme other crop having like
feeding powef. We must remember that
nature has sent limit to tiah'a ambition
to get suddenly rich, with big crops, and
says: "'Thus far shalt thou 60, and no
futher,' just now; little at a time and
often 1 give you of plant food and
nourishment, enough for your necessities
and wants. and some to spare, because
man and animals are wastefnl: the rest is
reserved for your children and the coming
generations but that they may have it
they must become acquainted with the
laws that govern, and find and keep
forever ready the key that unlocks the
store houas where the good things for
man are placed"
Only about 10 per cent. is all that an
animal or man can appropriate for his
benefit out of the essential elements of
nutrition and'growth in the food con.
sumed. Perhaps man got bis first idea
from this law of nature about taking 10
per cent. for money. Men and animals
are so greedy BY nature that unless re.
strained they would take 20 and even 50
per cent. If they could get 1t, and some
would take it all and gtow fat and big at
once and allow no other to have any. If
all the euriching Qualities in the soil and
iu. food could be made available at
once, aud there was power to digest
and appropriate, plants would grow
so rank as IL olive men from earth.
If all the elements of food and growth
could be utilized when taken up and
eaten. men would become giants at once !;

EXHIBIT OF the products OF Soutn carolina,
employs a veterinary surgeon, and by
publications and correspondence adur.
tises the State abroad.
IT. therefore, the Hatch fund, land
scrip aud privilege tax are given to the
Clemson college the effect will be to
destroy The college established in connec.
tion with the State University and
abolish the work Of the department and
the three experiment stations, or other
appropriations will be needed to support
the college, the stations and the depart.
ment.
It is claimed, however, that the Glenn.
son colleg'. will be able to do all of the
work now being done with the same
funds. This claim is worth investigat.
ing. The Hatch fund can only be used
to meet the expenses of conducting such
experiments as are provided for in the
act of Congress making the appropria.
ton. No part Off it can be used to meet
the ordinary expenses of the college.
This, then, takes away $4,000 from the
funds for current expenses. The super.
vision of the phosphate territory, exclu.
sive of litigation, costs about $4,000, the
inspection and analysis of fertilizers
about $4,000. This takes off about $4,000
from the privilege tax, leaving only
$4,000 from this source to go to the
expenses of the college. If the two STA
tions.are maintained at Darlington and
Spartanburg, and that at Columbia abol.
ished, $4,000 annually will be needed to-
support them, aud this will have only
