FARM EXTENSION SCHOOL.
Will Be Held in Newberry Beginning
August O. Every Farmer
Should Attend.

Inc 1eralQ ana News HAS utIelo-
fore printed the notice Of the extern
sion school work which it is proposed
to do in Newberry under the direction
Of Clemson College and the United
States department Of agriculture.
The school, because it is intended
to be a school for the instruction Of
farmers and others who desire in
struction in matters pertaining to
agriculture, will be held at Newberry
beginning on Monday, August ?, and
continue through Friday.
The trustees Of the Newberry
Graded School have kindly permitted
the school to be held in the Graded
School building and it is hoped that
not only farmers but citizens Of the
city who are interested in the sub
iects to be discussed will attend and
encourage the teachers
Prot. D. n. Barrow, Of Clemson
college, was in Newberry last week
in consultation with Mr.. A. D. Hud-
son and other progressive. farmers
making the necessary arrangements.
If it is desired the professors in
this school will igve lectures at night
using stereopticons and charts il
lustrating their lectures. We would
think that these Stereopticons lectures
would be very interesting and largely
attended. Announcements as to
these, however, will be made later.
Interest in agricultural matters in
this county has increased very great
ly in The last few years and as re-
suit the farmers are making better
crops, larger yields per acre, and
giving more attention to the conven-
fences and comforts Of their homes.
This school will do much to increase
this interest and it is hoped that the
farmers will appreciate what is to be
offered them and that as many as pos
sible will attend
Arrangements should be made to
serve picnic dinner on the grounds,
and We hope that the people in this
city will cooperate with the farmers
in making this extension school work
a decided success.
Newberry has the distinction Of be-
ing one Of the very few counties in
this State which will have the oppor-
tunity and privilege of such school,
and they should show their apprecia-
tion by their presence and interest.
From Clemson college the follow
ing lecturers, who are experts. in their
lines, will take part in this extension
school work: D. n. Barrow, G.. G.
Ainslie, A. F. Conrad, ]. H. Burgess,
E. Barnett, and D. ". Daniel, and
