WILEY'S LIEUTENANT REMOVED
fioyu W. Robson, One of Pure Food
stan, Dismissed for InsurbOrdna-
ton.

Washington, July 17.-Floyd W.
Robison, an important member Of the
stan of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief
OF the bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture, it developed
today, was dismissed from the bureau
June so on charges of insubordina-
ton. Robson was a member of DR..
Wiley's staff Of experts in New York
city
DR.. Wiley said today Robson had
been dismissed from the department
but that he did not know officially
why or when he had been discharged
Secretary Wilson said Robson had
been removed from the service be-
cause of INSTRUMENTATION. The in
subordlnation was a refusal to carry
into effect an order of the secretaries
OF the departments of agriculture,
treasury and commerce and labor to
prohibit the use of benzoate of soda
mixed with food, which it had been
determined was deleterious to health.
The order was not to be rendered ef-
fective provided that each container
or package Of such food is plainly
labeled to show the presence and
amount of benzoate of soda.
The dismissal Of Robson, the sec
retary declared, had nothing to do
with the recommendation Of the dis
missal of DR.. Wiley by the depart
mental board. 1t is known that Rob-
ison took the same view Of the dele
terious effects of benzoate OF soda as
did DR.. Wiley, but they were turned
down by the referee board Of consult
ing scientific experts appointed by
President Roosevelt.

INSTITUTE AT CLEMSON.
Great Preparations for Gathering O.
Farmers i'm August.

Prof. D. II. Barrow issues the fol-
lowing statement in reference to the
Farmers Institute, to be held at
Clemson in August:
The reports Of the last census have
shown that the State of South Caro-
ina has been making wonderful
progre SIS along agricultural lines in
the last ten years. This progress or
credit for this progress, of course,
cannot be claimed by any one agency
but 1t shows most plainly what can
be accomplished ty united effort.
Clemson College is not behind in
this respect and has inaugurated one
cf the mcst aggressive agricultural
campaigns over the Stae this sum-
mer that has been conducted in a
long while. For the last month
Clemson Winthrop demonstration
train has filled engagements every
day in different sections Of the State
and will continue until the first
week in August. in addition to the
work Of this train the coming Sat-
urday, July Is, will witness the open
ing Of a Farmers Institute campaign.
Points not reached by the train will
be thoroughly covered by institute
parties. Four separate and distinct
N "a 4 hn n,,t ;,ato
covering within the next three weeks
some fifty-four points at which in
situtes will be held. Then, as last
Year. it is proposed to hold a wind
up institute at Clemson College, COM
:nencing August s and continuing
through August II, inclusive.
An interesting programme is be-
| ing arranged, most of it to partake
of the nature of demonstration work
than Of speaking, and a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of farmers is ex-
pected to be present. Good speakers
have been secured from various sec
tions Of the South and no one can
fail 10 reap a large benefit from at
tendance upon this institute. Re-
duced railroad rates have been re-
quested and due notice Of their
granting will be given in plenty Of
time for all To plan their expenses.
The cost while at the College will be
s. day for meals. The use Of the
beds will be given free, but all who
come are requested to bring such
beddings as they require, together
with their own towels. The college
is able to furnish beds for about 500
people. In order that we may have
some idea of how To prepare for,
and also that those who come may
be assured that they will receive a
bed, we are requesting all To notify
MS in advance. Every man who no.
titles us in advance, up to the num-
ber of 500. will be furnished a bed,
Should more than that number come
which we do not think very likely
especially if we are not notified, they
should not be dissatisfied If they are
not SO comfortable
The program starts promptly at
o'clock on Tuesday, the Sth, and
we are particularly anxious that all
who can should come not later than
that morning. The exercises Will
close in time on Friday for those
especially anxious to reach home to
leave on the noon trains. Come pre-
pared to spend the whole time with
us and enjoy the week.
