the experiment and demonstration
work that Is being done among the
farmers themselves and would limit
the efforts Of the college to giving
instruction to the young men only
the students. The fact that these
subsidiary schools would fill q need
and would open up another field Is
admitted; but the Clemson authori-
ties seem to regard tho work for the
farmers of greater Importance, since
there are not funds to carry on both.
1t Is pointed out that as matters now
stand the college has revenue suni-
Client for no more than the mainten-
ancc OF the college itself, the success
full operation Of its farm demonstra-
tion and experiment work, and the
ments Of the properties now in SER
vice.
Clemson College Is a million and
quarter dollar plant. In the Ian
guago of the day, that is some plant
and some money" 1t costs some
thing to operate 1t. The opinion Of
observers Is that the present admin
istration Is bending every effort to
so use the funds at its command to
best and most effectively give in
| struction to the farmers sons and to
| the farmers themselves.
Fifty-One Clemson Scholarships.
Clemson College will, from next
session on, bestow fifty-one addi-
tional scholarships, good for the
short course in agriculture. In line
with It's cndeavor to enlarge and em-
phasiZe agricultural training, the
college offers now. under the Minis
bill, passed by the recent Legisla-
ture, to one deserving young man in
each county and seven in the State
at large, a free course as provided
in what is known as the short course
in agriculture. This is designed to
help the boys who are not able to
take the entire college course. The
committee Of the board of trustees
yesterday decided to place in the
hands Of some representative farm
| erS' organization, in most cases the
Farmers Union Of the county, the
recommending of such young men as
they deem worthy Of contesting for
the scholarships.
