| CLEMSON COLIE"E,S. c., July 25.
| Considerable interest is being mani
tested all over the State in the farmers
institute TO be held here from August
l3 to 20. This is us it should be. The
teachers, the editors, the doctors, the
dcntlsts, the manufacturers, all have
their annual meetings for mutual profit
and pleasure. All these meetings are
helpful not only to the Immediate pro-
iesslons, but also to all who come into
relations to them. Certainly the farm.
crs have need of just such help and
inspiration as come from these meet
inSs. The meetings would be of great
benefit through the Interchange of
ideas among the farmers themselves
even without the very excellent course
OF lectures given by men who are ac-
knowlcdgcd authorities on agricultural
subjects. This is to be q kind Of sum
mcr school for tflc farmers. Then, too
LADIES, who are Interested in vegetable
and flower gardens can get valuable in
formation here. The Clemson faculty
will be on duty. Men like Col. New
man and Col. Hardin will lecture along
their special lines and be ready to give
information to individuals in prLcti-
cal way. DIR. IIauzcy will be here
this time and will give his personal ut.
tention to the needs of all.
