able from other sources. At the last
meeting of the General Assembly,
$4,000 was appropriated for cooper
ating with the U. S. Bureau Of Animal
Industry in the work Of tick eradica-
ton in South Carolina, this sum to
be expended through Clemson Col
lege. Shortly after this appropriation
was received, arrangements were
made to place tick eradication under
an inspector who could devote his en-
tire time to this work. Tick eradica-
ton is now being rapidly pushed into
all tick infested counties of this State.

roots, it requires little ammonia in the
fertilizer.
When intended for hay, cowpeas
should be planted broadcast with
some other forage crop. German
millet and sorghum are probably the
best crops for this purpose. This sta
ton has obtained as much as seven
tons of well cured hay from sorghum
and peas, two and one-half tons from
peas and crab grass, and three and
one-quarter tons from peas and mill
let.
The most valuable part Of the pea
plant is the leaves, and the hay
should be cured in such a manner
that the largest amount OF leaves pos
sible should be retained with the hay.
For that reason the pea should not
remain long in the swath, but as soon
as the leaves are dry sufficiently, the
nay should be raked in windroWs for
a day or SO, then it should be dried
out in cocks. A splendid way to cure
cowpea hay is to take it from the
windrow and stack it on pole about
six feet long. driven in the ground
with crossarms nailed horizontally,
the lowest being about eight inches
from the ground.
The practical place of the cowpea
in rotation is after small grain. AS
soon as oats or wheat are cut the
land should be disked and planted in
peas, sown broadcast, from four to
SIX pecks per acre. This crop of peas
will shade the ground and improve
the physical condition of the soil, will
add nitrogen TO the soil and prepare
the land for the succeeding grain
crop.
AS cowpea hay is a most valuable
food, it should always be cut for hay.
However, if the object is to improve
the land the pea vines can be turned
under. If the succeeding crop, how
ever, is to be a small grain, it is bet
ter to cut the vines off as the pea
vines will form a kind of mulch which
will make the soil very loose and pre-
vent the proper rise Of capillary
moisture to the small grain. Small
grain prefers a compact soil rather
than a loose, porous soil.
1t always pays to plant cowpeas in
corn at the last plowing. If an early
maturing variety is planted at this
time. such as the Whippoorwill, New
Era, or Taylor, the seed obtained will
far offset the expense and trouble of
planting, and the peas growing in the
corn, instead Of hindering the growth
Of corn, will increase the yield
slightly, and will put the land in bet
ter condition for the succeeding grain
crop. Small one-horse drills now be-
ing manufactured for the purpose of
drilling cowpeas in corn do the work
better than it can be done by hand.
1t always pays to plant patch Of
peas mixed with soy beans as hog
grazing crop. No machine has yet
been manufactured that will satisfac-
torily pick peas. The thrashing,
however, can be accomplished by a
pea huller. which is far less eXpen-
sive than thrashing out with fail.
In the sandy soils Of the Coastal
Plain, the wilt disease and roo: knot
disease is widely disseminated. No
method has yet been found for COM
batting these diseases, excepting the
rotation Of crops and the planting of
wilt resistant cotton and the Iron
cowpea, which resists the wilt and
the root knot. Stored cowpeas should
phide to keep away weevils.

FREEING THE STATE
OF THE CATTLE TICK.
By DR.. NJ. Ray Powers, State Veter-
marian and Head of Veterinary
Division, Clemson College.

In July, 1907, the Veterinary Divi-
sion of Clemson College. in cooper
alton with the u. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry, commenced tick eradication
work in Oconee, Pickens Greenville
and Anderson Counties. Since that
date this work has been gradually and
Systematically extended until fourteen
counties are now free from ticks and
released from Federal Quarantine.
Systematic work has also been in
progress in six other counties for the
past year, and these should be in con-
dition for release this fall.
Prior to 1914 the expense of tick
eradication work was borne by Glenn
son College and the U. S. Bureau of
Animal Industry. With the exception
of about $500 (received from citizens
of these counties) no funds were avail

APEN PICTURE
OF CLEMSON
COLLEGE
Works for Welfare in Many
Ways

Picture a country estate Of 1900
acres, with stately buildings placed at
elevated points to form a great irregu-
lar circle Of half mile in diameter.
Inclose in this circle beautiful grove
Of native oaks, threaded by smooth
driveways and paths and cement side
walks. Turn to the north and for a
background outline against the sky at
a distance of 20 miles, range after
range Of mountains, the home of the
Highlands, of Caesars Head, White
sides and other lofty peaks of the Blue
Ridge. Think OF these mountains as
in summer clothed with Verdure,
standing out black against the hori-
zon, and in winter often white with
snow. Take for the southern boun-
Diary a river Of Indian lineage and
follow in its sweeping crookedness the
swift and turbulent Seneca as it twists
of the estate. And to this setting add
broad expanses of river bottom lands
green with corn, steep hillsides sinu-
Gus with level grassy terraces and cool
pastures with winding brooks and
graceful shade trees and you have a
picture of Clemson College, not col
ored to suit the canvas of an artist,
but as seen every year by nearly a
thousand young South Carolinians
who seek amid these surroundings an
education that will prepare them for
self-respecting, self-supporting citi-
zenship.

priceless State and national asset, and
should be a perennial source of in
spiration to succeeding generations of
young South Carolinians who are
privileged to live for four years in the
shadow of its historic walls.
Many are wont to ask why the col

houn instead of the name Of his SON.
in-law, Thos. G.. Clemson. The answer
is that nowhere does it appear in the
records that Mr.. Calhoun ever wished
or planned the erection Of an indus
trial and technical college on the old
homestead. The complete story of
Mr.. Clemson's part in the founding Of
the college is too long to be told here.
A Vast Plant.
The college tract contains over 1900
acres. On the property, there are 23
ings and Ga minor buildings. The col
lege has in its employ 4C1 teachers,
officers and laborers. Its inventoried
property is $1,327.72S.57. The Off
GERS of the college send out yearly
over $4,000 letters and over 435,000
other pieces Of mail matter, most of
which give agricultural information.
In addition to the parent station,
the college maintains two branch ex-
pertinent stations-one near Summer
vile and the other at Florence. One
more to be situated in the sand hill
section of the State, Just as soon as
funds will permit, will complete a
system representing the princil soil
types of the State.
The enrolment has grown from 446
students in 1893 to S34. Originally
there were but two courses of study
now there are II. In addition to
these regular degree courses, there is
a four weeks course for farmers and
a one-session practical agricultural
course extending from October 1 to
June for men over IS.
The college maintains 16S four
year scholarships and 81 one-year
scholarships, the cost of which,
amounting to nearly $4,000, is paid
out of the receipts from the fertilizer
tag tax.

A Storied Spot.

Clemson College is a unique blend
ing Of the old and the new, Of the his
toric with the now. Just across the
road from the cadet dormitories,
which every session house over 500
young men, and in sight of the new
electric power station that day or
night beats as the industrial heart of
the community, is the white columned
mansion of the illustrious John c. CAL
houn. One can almost picture the
great statesman, as with hands be-
hind him he PAGES the avenues Of
cedar and oak, putting into form those
matchless ideals of patriotism whose
fulfillment he never lived to see.
About so yards to the rear Of the
mansion is a queer little one-story
room structure with columned porch
to match the mansion. This was the
study" Of the great statesman, and
here were written many of his great
orations. Under this little study,
which is about 20 feet square, is dug
deep pit in which Ice cut In winter
was stored for summer use. How the
seasons must have changed, for only
during one or two. winters Of the 20
which the writer has spent in the up
country" has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to justify such ample stor-
age.
In the old mansion are many his
toric relics, including chair used by
Gen. George Washington, and seven
foot mohair-covered lounge on the
back of which is carved the American
eagle. 1t is said that the engraving
on our coins was copied from this
carving.

memories, the peer of the Hermitage,
Mount Vernon and Monticello, is a

Public Service.

But the trustees of Clemson College
have not only organized an efficient
system of fertilizer inspection and an
alysis, by which the farmer gets value
received from the tax he pays, and
built and maintained great agricul-
tural and mechanical college, but they
have gone a step farther than is re-
quired by their compact with the peo-
pie and have sought to return to those
who pay the tax in the shape Of di-
rect service, all that could be spared
over and above the cost of operation
and building. The public service has
grown as the fertilizer tax has grown,
now reaching an annual total of over
100000.
Clemson College, with its plant well
developed, its patronage assured and
overfiowing, its lines of public service
popular and efficient, has behind it
creditable record of achievement, and
before it a future bright with the
promise of usefulness to South Caro-
lima.
